Dogtopia – Dog Daycare, Boarding, Spa & Wellness

Dogtopia of White Flint

At Dogtopia, we believe your pup deserves the absolute best in care, safety, and play. Whether you’re dropping off for a few hours of play, an overnight stay, or a relaxing spa treatment, Dogtopia is your dog’s home away from home. Our dog daycare provides a safe, supervised, and engaging environment where dogs can enjoy off-leash play in spacious playrooms designed for their comfort. Each playroom is separated by size and temperament, ensuring every pup is paired with the right friends for safe socialization. Our highly trained Canine Coaches are always on hand to encourage good behavior, monitor interactions, and provide lots of love and attention. Dogtopia isn’t just about play — it’s about wellness, too. A day at Dogtopia helps your dog stay active, burn off energy, and return home happy and relaxed. To support overall health, we offer the DASH Activity Collar — a daycare-approved smart collar. DASH tracks your dog’s activity levels, rest, and wellness, giving you valuable insights into their health and behavior both at Dogtopia and at home. It’s another way we make sure your pup is not only having fun, but thriving. Our boarding services give dogs a chance to enjoy all-day play and restful nights under the care of our trusted team. And if your dog needs a little pampering, our spa services include baths, brush-outs, nail trims, and more, so they’ll look and feel their best. As pet parents ourselves, we know safety and transparency matter. That’s why every Dogtopia location is equipped with webcams, allowing you to check in on your pup throughout the day. Our facilities are sanitized with pet-safe cleaning products, and our staff is trained in canine behavior, first aid, and safety protocols. At Dogtopia, we’re passionate about giving dogs the love, exercise, and socialization they need to thrive — while giving pet parents peace of mind. Discover why so many families trust us as their dog’s second home.
