PROUD TO BE PART OF THE CANTON COMMUNITY

We are in the heart of historic, walkable Canton and just a short distance from Canton Square, Patterson Park, Canton Dog Park, Canton Waterfront Park, the Canton branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, and The Shops at Canton Crossing.

Whether you are heading to work, meeting friends in Canton Square, spending time at the waterfront, or simply running errands around Baltimore, Dogtopia of Canton makes it easy to give your dog a fun and enriching day while you’re busy.

A DOG DAYCARE IN BALTIMORE DESIGNED AROUND YOUR PUP

At Dogtopia of Canton, dogs enjoy a structured day of supervised play, socialization, mental stimulation, physical exercise with agility-focused activities, and rest in our secure, indoor, climate-controlled environment.

Our 6,500-square-foot facility features three off-leash, open-play rooms, allowing us to group dogs by size, temperament, energy level, and play style. Our playrooms feature compressed-rubber flooring designed to be easier on paws and joints, while our expert Canine Coaches actively supervise play and monitor doggie body language. We also offer:

• A scheduled midday rest & lunch period from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m.
• Live webcams in every playroom that you can access from Dogtopia’s app/website
• Twice-daily sanitization and regular cleaning protocols using dog-safe cleaning products without chemicals
• Guidance from trained Canine Coaches who provide periodic report cards and insight into your pup’s day

Whether your dog needs an outlet for extra energy or enjoys spending time with other pups, our goal is to make their visit a positive part of their routine.

Learn more about what your pup can expect during a visit on our dog daycare page.

HOW WE INTRODUCE NEW DOGS TO OUR FACILITY

We know leaving your furry family member somewhere new for the first time can feel like a big step. That’s why we take the introduction process seriously. Before joining open play, every new dog completes a 20- to 30-minute Meet & Greet that includes a health history review, a nose-to-tail assessment, and a controlled social evaluation.

This evaluation allows our team to learn more about your pup and determine which play environment is the best fit, helping create a safer and more comfortable experience from the beginning. Once we give the green light, your dog is ready to start their Dogtopia journey.

OVERNIGHT DOG BOARDING IN CANTON, BALTIMORE

Need a comfortable place for your dog to stay while you’re traveling or are looking to change up their routine to work on their separation anxiety? Overnight stays allow pups to enjoy a full day of daycare during the day before settling in for the evening.

We provide a combination of activity, socialization, and rest for pups, which helps boarding feel more like a familiar routine and less like a traditional kennel experience.

Visit our dog boarding page to learn more about overnight stays and what your dog can expect while you’re away.

DOG SPA SERVICES TO KEEP YOUR PUP FEELING FRESH

After a day of play or an overnight stay, your pup can enjoy some extra pampering at our dog spa. Our spa treatments help keep pups clean, comfortable, and feeling their best. From routine bathing to other available doggie spa treatments, our expert team can help make maintaining your dog’s hygiene easier.

For more details about available doggie hygiene treatments, please visit our dog spa page.
