A BUSINESS YOU'LL FEEL GOOD ABOUT OWNING
JOIN CANADA’S LEADING DOG DAYCARE FRANCHISE
Now is the perfect time to join Dogtopia Canada with a newly appointed leadership and support team as well as new systems have been put in place for Canadians. We are looking for enthusiastic and energetic franchisees to become part of North America’s fastest growing pet franchise! Dogtopia is a unique dog daycare business which opened its first location in Virginia in 2002 and expanded into Canada in 2014 with the opening of our Coquitlam location. At that time, dog daycare was very much a new concept and the Dogtopia approach (to provide a dog care along the lines of a children’s daycare with “indoor dog parks”), was extremely innovative. Since then, the idea of taking man’s best friend to doggy daycare has gained widespread acceptance and the $7 billion pet industry shows no signs of slowing down.
Dogtopia ranked as the No. 1 pet services franchise in Entrepreneur Magazine’s 41st Annual Franchise 500® List. Overall, the company ranked in the top 100 at No. 51 on the list, an increase of 3 spots from the 2021 ranking. Dogtopia’s impressive growth has also been noticed by Franchise Times magazine, which recently ranked us as the “Best Pet Franchise” in its Annual Zor Awards. We were also named a Top Franchise for 2020 by Franchise Business Review, (based on survey results from our franchisees). As the nation’s leading pet franchise opportunity, Dogtopia’s business model provides multiple revenue channels for daycare, boarding and spa services wrapped around an exciting and fun lifestyle.

WHYchoose the dogtopia franchise?
Despite the fact that 41% of all households in Canada have at least one pet and dog daycare services have been available for a number of years, there are no recognized brands in the marketplace, nor any consolidation of the offering which provides consistent levels of service to target consumers.
