    The people here are very kind and I believe are truly doing their best given the circumstances. We really enjoyed taking our dog here when he was a puppy and in the Toybox room. However, as he got larger he was moved to the Romper room and we had to stop taking him. Dogtopia simply has way too many dogs under their care. On a busy day you can expect your dog to be in a room with 20-30 other dogs and many times with only one coach in the room. It is impossible for them to keep an eye on all the dogs. Our dog was jumped on and harassed by dogs twice his size many times and the coach was nowhere around to intervene. Even after asking the staff to please keep an eye on him this continued. We simply could no longer trust the coaches to keep an eye on the overwhelming number of dogs they have in their facility. This also results in your dog coming home VERY dirty and smelly. It's also worth noting that our dog got sick several times after coming to daycare here. After talking to other dog parents who were customers here we found this to be more common than we were comfortable with. I would advise pet parents to look for other daycare options that have smaller class sizes. Our pup is much happier at his new daycare and no longer comes home needing an immediate bath. In response to Dogtopia's reply to this review -- please see attached screenshot from 4/5/21 where there are 20-30 dogs in a room, no coach in sight, and dogs on top of each other.

    I never have left a review but this place is the most terrible excuse for a dog daycare/boarding service I've ever experienced. My white colleagues and their dogs get accepted for every request but for my dog who me (asian) and my roommate (black) drop off always get rejected. We literally all sit at the same place together and use the app to book daycare for our dogs and out of all my friends, only my dog gets rejected. Then when I call in to book instead of the app, I might get lucky and get a front desk person who accepts my dog. But then when I bring him in for daycare, he is always put into timeout and he comes home with scratches/scars. I paid for 10 sessions to be able to be used whenever - early on I could book whenever but after they got their new coordinator or whoever, I've been rejected every time up to a point where I had to beg them to book my last few sessions. Even at those sessions, both my roommate and I watch the cam to make sure my dog is behaving. We come to find out that other dogs are provoking him and biting him yet, instead of being transparent, they blame my dog for being "too much" and throw him into time out. They even lost my dog's collar once and tried to blame me. This place is unacceptable and needs to be shut down.

    Dogtopia is truly top notch! The staff are all SO friendly, professional, and informative. Piper has a blast here and comes home actually calm and tired which is saying a lot for a 1 year old boxer that has 1000000% energy all the time. I'm really pleased that they recognized she will never stop to take a break, so sometimes you need to put her up and let her breathe for a few minutes. Still, she played most all day and had a blast. I love being able to watch the webcams to check in on her. Its obvious the staff really knows what they are doing, and they handle the dogs really well. We used to go to another daycare but it was so much more kennel time and not enough play time for her. We finally met our daycare match and will be long time clients now. Thank you, Dogtopia, for all that you do! Yall are awesome!

    Dogtopia has been a lifesaver. My pup Henry loves other dogs and can get bored at home while I'm working. I take him to Dogtopia in the afternoons for half days almost every work day and he comes home so happy and tired. I love getting to check in with him on the cameras as well and see him with his dog friends. The dog supervisors even indulge his constant need to push himself between their legs for butt scratches. I love their flexible membership options that allow for me to spend my mornings with him and take him to "school" in the afternoons for socialization and playtime. The app is easy to use and for booking appointments and baths / nail trims / teeth brushing - I love that I can drop him off and pick him up clean. The staff is so friendly, Anna is the best, and you can tell they really love the dogs. I'm so happy I found them and Henry is too!

    Our little guy loves this place. Chewy started going at 10 weeks and he is such a Dogtopia fan. He can't wait to get inside and start playing with all of his friends. The staff is also amazing and very good with our kiddo. This place is great for drop offs and wearing then out with fun:-). Only critique, they need a few reserved parking spots for drop off... parking is the only issue we ever had in over 30 visits. chewy_bludwise@instagram.com

    I wanted to love this place so much especially since the location is great and the staff is really nice. However, after two visits (gave them a second chance), I am unfortunately done with Dogtopia. First of all, walking into it, the place is FILLED with hair - it smells awful. The first time they botched an easy doodle groom (I have a 30 pound cockapoo), and the second try was so much more disappointing. I got my dog back the other day and he was what I'm calling 'super botched.' His private parts were nicked and had an open cut, his ears were NASTY, and his eyelashes were shaved on only one side. I'm sure it's an 'over site' - and I say this with the assumption that times might be trying - but man alive, my dog is SO uncomfortable - itching, licking the wounds, shaking his head constantly for his ears, etc. What did I pay for TWICE? That is on me - I went back thinking the first time was a fluke. Please be mindful about this place, as it might not fit your need(s). I will say it again - the staff is sweet, but when they might not know what they're doing, sweet can only go so far....

    Can I give them ten stars?! I won't lie, part of me kind of doesn't want to write this or say…read moreanything because I don't want to have to fight for my baby to have a great place to stay, but also as a truly psycho pet parent...I know, I'll own it... this place made my heart so happy. This was my third or fourth (can't even remember the others were so traumatizing) doggy daycare to visit. This is the only one that didn't instantly hit me in the face with the smell of urine or wet dog...eww. Also, this one has amazing staff members that actually seem happy in their jobs, not just hating their lives and overwhelmed by dogs. BHV takes a completely different approach to daycare than the others I saw. They keep the dogs in play groups of no more than 8-10 dogs. Others literally got as high as 40! I had a baby anxiety attack just watching it on the monitors. They let the play groups go outside and run around for around 20 minutes and play really hard, then that group goes back to their individual dog set up, which is NOT a crate! It's this precious little white picket fence area where the fence is 4-5 feet tall...pending height of the animals (they have a room for big dogs and a room for small dogs). You bring your baby's bed, stuffed toys, snacks, whatever they need, they provide water bowls, food bowls, etc. There is a big screen TV in all of the rooms where your dog will be resting for some background noise so that they aren't freaked out by every new sound. If you use the normal space with the picket fences, your babies can still see their friends "across the way" so they know they're not alone. During the approximately 1 hr to 1.5 hrs that your dog will be in the white picket fence area resting, there is one staff member coming around a few times to let each dog out to run down the hall and say "hi" to all of it's friends and get a little energy out, if it wants. You can also actually board your animal here over night...they have many levels of quite nice spaces (a couple suites are nicer than my bedroom LOL). This review is not about that, as we only use them for daycare. My dog and others that I've witnessed get so excited when pulling into the parking lot. Drop offs have become "mom, get outta my way, love you bye, I have friends to see". They post pics of the dogs throughout the day on social media so you can see your baby having fun. My husband and I have quickly fallen in love with this place, the lovely "hoos" that run it and even the fellow parents. It just seems like everyone loves being a part of this place. I have zero guilt about leaving my kid here, as I know she is having tons of fun and comes home a tired baby.

    I can't say enough good things about BHV TOO! They have been an absolute lifesaver for our family…read more The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, making sure our dogs are well taken care of every time we drop them off. The facility is clean, spacious, and filled with fun activities that keep our pups happy and engaged throughout the day. We love seeing the photos they post on Facebook. It's clear the team loves what they do, and they treat every dog like their own. We highly recommend BHV TOO to any pet parent looking for a reliable and loving daycare!

Sometimes I've boarded her, which usually causes her to be reluctant the next time we go for day care. Not at Pups and Pals! She is so excited every morning! The daily schedule allows for group play and indoor rest. The staff evaluates the dogs' personalities, size, and energy levels before putting them in a group. Playtime includes best friends, lots of cuddles and kisses, pools in the summer, and always playscapes. They go out anywhere between 6-8 times a day, with breaks in their air conditioned suites. The building is super nice, very new, and the play areas have K9 grass that keeps their paws nice and clean. I especially like that it is hosed every night. BTW there's a groomer onsite! Just a heads up -- it's hard to see the marquis from the 1st street entrance. You really need to know what you're looking for! April and I give Pups and Paws 4 paws up!

I have two Bichon Frise dogs one is just a puppy. She has only had one grooming, however her previous groomer allowed her to come for Table Time to get used to the noises and they would trim her nails she is only 7 months old. Upon scheduling here the owner required me to pay $30 per dog just to schedule my appointment. When I arrived I explained that the puppy had mats on her ears and they would need to be shaved. She called me about 30 minutes later to let me know my puppy had "such bad mats that she had hematomas." I arrived back shortly, her ears were wrapped to her head in a tight bandage. I immediately took her to our vet. She confirmed she did not have hematomas, however she was cut. I did not complain-I actually sent a complement to them for my older Bichon's haircut. My husband thought he looked great. My puppy still has thick scabs at the tips of her ears inside and out! Upon checking out I was pressed to reschedule. I have an Italy trip scheduled and was unsure of the arrival home date. Because of my puppy's cut ears the groomer did not cut the ears correctly and I was told I needed to bring her back- She has a vet appointment to be spayed the next day she is scheduled for the hair-cut fix. The groomer said I need to reschedule due to her surgery the previous day. I called to be sure. They have no openings until July 1st. We are out of town. My older pup is scheduled on July 5th. We arrive home on the 5th from memory with no calendar in front of me I was off by a day when the check out person wanted to schedule-the owner, Jade sends a snarky text that my dogs must come 8 weeks out (they are the ones who have zero flexibility) . This business owner informs me that we are not a good fit- No apology for injuring my dog, causing a $150 vet visit. Just a lovely text stating we are not a good fit-Guess What? You are 100% correct we are not a good fit and you are a terrible business owner
