    Chewie Monkey's 6th birthday party photo from Dogtopia
    Lori R.

    I can't believe it's been four whole years since my last review for this wonderful place! And my now 6-year old shih poo is still enjoying his Dogtopia days. The same loving care that hands-on owners Tammy and Janet have always given is still going strong. Whether it's for a half day, full day, night, weekend or multiple days,the care our Chewie Monkey gets is second to none. It's like having a kid in kindergarten. Complete with birthday parties. Yes, he not only came home with this pic, but with a Gourmutt's special treat and a stuffed shark. But besides the fun times, what Dogtopia is really about for us is peace of mind. Knowing that we don't have to worry for a second about how our baby is being taken care of. And it's always cool to be able to see for ourselves with their webcams. I also love that they are very community-minded, doing and participating in various fundraisers. Reading over some previous reviews, I see that a couple folks were upset that their pets were turned down, and as upsetting as I know that can be for them, I have to say that it is reassuring to me that they take the extra care to safeguard our "children". They have to! All animals (including my own fella) are given an assessment before they are brought into a room with others. For me, that's one more way we are given peace of mind here.

    This review would have been 5 stars until the recent change of ownership. We were there from the beginning when original franchisees Janet and Tami opened this location in 2008 (a picture of Lanai, our female, used to be on their webpage!), but will not be going back. Employee turnover has accelerated, and (probably related) on our last visit, Lanai was injured by another dog for the first time in our 10 years there, and although they promptly informed us, basically, the management's attitude was "sh#t happens" Not to mention, it is a struggle the last few times to avoid being overcharged-- the focus appears to have shifted from good customer service to maximizing revenue. For example, when our dogs spent 5 days there, the former good staff would suggest a 10-day pass. Now, the attitude seems to be " you snooze, you lose" Heartbreaking to see a fantastic, locally-owned, women-owned business go in the crapper, but it has happened at Dogtopia.

    Took my 4 month old puppy for the first time to daycare and she loved it. She played very well with the others and the staff was very attentive of all the dogs. I also love the fact that they have cameras on what's happening during daycare. The pricing is also reasonable where they charge $50 a night for boarding and $30 for a full day of daycare.

    I wish I read some of these reviews prior to bringing my dog here. In the beginning it was a great experience. Except for this one lady during pick up she wasn't the friendliest person. I would even try to have friendly conversation...nothing. In my opinion she is someone who should not be in the service industry. Anyway, recently my dog was attacked by a pitbull/boxer at the facility. My issue is Dogtopia tells me it wasn't my dog's fault, but the owner has yet to reach out to me to apologize for what their dog did or take any kind of responsibility. I gave permission to the staff to give out my contact information and almost two weeks later....NOTHING!!! That tells you what kind of owner they are, not responsible. They shouldn't even have a dog. My other issue is Dogtopia needs to come up with better policies. If Dogtopia is stating they are not responsible for dog attacks then the owners should at least be allowed to have contact information to handle the situation themselves. The not so friendly lady behind the counter wouldn't even tell me the kind of breed that attacked my dog. Didn't want to answer any of my questions, said all of this was above her pay grade. I felt like she was hiding something. My vet had to call and demand getting that information and the dogs shot information. If my dog attacked another dog, I would definitely want to know who the owner was in order for me to apologize and take care of any vet bill. Basically be responsible and accountable. I was informed that the dog is no longer allowed there and my dog is able to return. How can I trust that, when I was never even able to see a video or even see what the dog looked like, nothing. They could very well allow that dog to come back and I would never know. It's amazing how some people and some companies are all about animals rights but when a dog gets attacked everyone is so quick to say, "well there is nothing we can do about your dog getting attacked." Or "It can happen to any dog, oh well." Better policies and procedures need to be in place to protect all dogs and help owners when situations like this happens. In my opinion ask for a list of dogs that they allow there, if the dog is statistically listed as an aggressive dog, ie pitbull. Don't leave your dog at Dogtopia. If some apartment complexes don't allow them maybe Dogtopia should adapt that policy as well.

    They have one dog groomer and they're booked up until August. They obviously need to hire more.

But I wanted to talk to someone because one of my dogs was in diapers and I wanted to make sure she was taken care of, so I went in. The person at the desk said it would be fine, they had lots of experience and they would send pics everyday. So I left thinking they would be well taken care of, especially after reading the great reviews. After the first day when I hadn't received pictures, I called to see if they were ok and if I could get pics. I was assured they were fine and they sent pics. The next day, nothing. I had to call everyday to see if my dogs were ok. I didn't get pictures everyday like I was promised. When I did get pictures the one time I asked why my dogs were together, in a small enclosed space, with no other dogs. I had asked that my one dog get to go out and play with other dogs, but they didn't do that. They said they wanted to keep them together, although I had explained that my older dog in diapers wouldn't have cared. I began questioning whether anything I asked had been done. We paid over $1,000 for a week and don't feel that the service we received was worth it. There are lots of great reviews here but we can't add to them.

Dog Gone Happy came through for us. I was nervous, and Glitch went in hesitantly, but when I went to pick him up. Watching the dogs run in when they got there for daycare made me feel better, and when I picked him up, you could tell he had played hard and had a good ol time. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a place.

I have had all of my dogs teeth cleaned this year at Capital Blvd Animal Hospital. Their fees are reasonable and they took extraordinary care of my furry babies. A month ago, Sebastian my male Sheltie needed neutered, he was having prostate issues. I was able to get him in and his problems fixed with Dr. G. He even called the following day himself to see how Sebastian was doing. This meant the world to me. Oftentimes, in my experience at other offices, the vet themselves are not involved in daily operations, and do not readily make themselves available to address concerns firsthand. This is not the case with Dr. G, he is happy to answer any and all questions. I've also noticed he comes to help any of the staff when times are busy and he is down to earth. Two weeks ago, I had an issue that I needed one of Shelties to be seen immediately. We were renovating and the noise and commotion caused colitis for our guy. We were welcomed in on a Saturday without reservation. Our baby was seen and treated immediately. With the amount of fluid lost in just two days of having colitis, Dr. G arranged for IV fluid to make sure our baby was not dehydrated. Moreover, he realized the anxiety our dog had would not have been supported by taking him to the back away from me to give him fluids. He had the techs come to us; thereby, refraining from causing more stress to our sick baby. Without hesitation, I would recommend Capital Blvd Animal Hospital to take your furry loved one to. We have received great treatment, follow up calls, and fair pricing. Dr. G and his staff remembers each of our pet's names and treats them the same as we feel they are-- our children with fur. Thank you for taking time to listen to our concerns, address the problem, and always show us and our pets kindness! With gratitude, Barbara Aust

It's important to know that they are frequently booked out 4-6 weeks. So when you make an appointment, allow some time to see them because they are very popular. And well worth the wait! I have two dogs (a Cavachon and an English Cocker Spaniel) which require frequent grooming. I am very particular about their grooming and they always look great! I also appreciate the fact that my pups love to go there which gives me great peace of mind. All About Pets is owned by Joyce who is dedicated to providing the best care for your dog. Joyce is highly experienced, detail oriented, very kind and truly cares about you and your dog. She keeps thorough and accurate records about each detail of your dog's grooming. Each grooming session is custom made just for your dog. The groomers are excellent, too - very thorough and experienced. They also provide detailed report cards summarizing each visit. They provide ear cleaning, expression of anal glands, nail grinding and de-matting during each visit. I like the fact that my dogs have the same groomer for each visit which maintains consistency. You can also drop off supplies there to support local dog shelters. I am very grateful to Joyce and her groomers for the wonderful care that they provide. Always a great experience for me and my dogs!
