Dogtopia Meet & Greet and What to Expect

Dogtopia Meet & Greet and What to Expect

At Dogtopia, we understand that your dog is a cherished family member, and you want nothing but the best for them. That’s why we offer a thorough Meet & Greet process to ensure your dog is a good fit for our daycare and boarding services, and that they’ll enjoy their time in a safe, fun, and enriching environment. Here’s a step-by-step guide to setting up a Dogtopia Meet & Greet and what happens during the visit.

Booking Your Meet & Greet

Scheduling a Meet & Greet with Dogtopia is easy. Simply visit our website or call your local Dogtopia daycare to set up an appointment. This is a necessary step for all new daycare or boarding dogs to ensure they’re comfortable and safe in our environment.

When booking, we’ll ask for some basic information about your dog, including their breed, age, and temperament. We also recommend bringing proof of your dog’s up-to-date vaccinations, including rabies, Bordetella, and distemper, to ensure the safety of all our canine guests.

Arrival and Check-In

On the day of your Meet & Greet, arrive with your dog a few minutes early to complete any final paperwork and allow your dog to get acclimated to the new surroundings. During this time, our friendly team will ask you about your dog’s personality, their play style, any behavioral concerns, and health history.

We want to know everything we can to provide the best experience for your dog, so feel free to mention any preferences or quirks, such as whether they’re more comfortable with smaller or larger dogs, if they enjoy certain games, or if they have anxiety triggers.

Health and Wellness Check

Before we introduce your dog to the play area, our experienced team will perform a brief health and wellness check. This involves a nose-to-tail inspection to ensure that your dog is healthy, free from any skin conditions or parasites, and ready to interact with other dogs safely.

We take the health of every dog seriously, so this step is essential in maintaining a clean and safe environment for all our furry guests.

 Socialization Evaluation

Once the wellness check is complete, we’ll introduce your dog to a small group of dogs that match their size, temperament, and play style. Our staff is highly trained in dog behavior, and we’ll closely monitor your dog’s interactions to see how they respond to the new environment and to other dogs.

This is a critical part of the process, as it helps us assess how well your dog will integrate into the daycare pack. Our team will look for signs of positive social behavior, such as appropriate play, curiosity, and comfort around other dogs.

Feedback and Next Steps

After the socialization evaluation, we’ll provide you with detailed feedback on how your dog did during the Meet & Greet. If your dog is a good fit for Dogtopia’s daycare, we’ll go over the next steps, including scheduling future daycare visits, boarding, or grooming services.

If we identify any areas of concern, we’ll discuss a personalized plan to help your dog acclimate better. Sometimes, dogs need a little extra time or training to feel completely comfortable in a new setting, and we’re here to support that journey.

Ongoing Communication

Even after the Meet & Greet, we prioritize clear and open communication. Our staff will keep you updated on your dog’s progress, behavior, and any concerns during their time with us. We also offer webcams so you can check in on your dog and see how much fun they’re having in real time!

A Meet & Greet at Dogtopia is the first step toward ensuring that your dog enjoys a safe, fun, and engaging experience with us. With thorough evaluations, personalized care, and a focus on your dog’s well-being, you can trust that they’ll be in good hands.
