Overview |
| Do you know what your dog does all day
while you are gone? If he or she is like most dogs, they either
spend the day bored and lonely, or getting themselves into trouble!
We know you can't be with them all day, and by the time you
get home, they want to play while you want to relax and unwind.
Dog daycare is the answer. Drop your dog off at Dogtopia and
let them burn off all that doggy energy, so that you can spend
your evenings relaxing together!

What Dogtopia of Alexandria Customers Are Saying |
| "I would recommend Dogtopia to other dog owners because
it is a wonderful, loving environment for your four-legged babies.
They get to play all day in a safe, comfortable place (and can
go outside to go potty) and they come home tired at the end of
the day; just like we are after work, so we don't have to feel
guilty about being so tired and not being up to playing with them
as much as they might want." |

Dog Daycare/Boarding Information |
|
| What is your application process? |
|
Dogs must first be evaluated
before they can attend daycare or board. The owner must
set up an appointment for the evaluation, which is when
we check to see how the dog interacts with other dogs and
make sure he/she is comfortable in the daycare environment.
At the time of the evaluation the owner must fill out some
forms and bring in the dogs up to date vaccination records. |
|
| What are your vaccination requirements? |
|
All dogs must be up to date on Rabies, DHPP
& Bordetella. They also must be spayed or neutered after
7 months of age. |
|
| Have you ever turned down any dogs before?
If so, for what reasons? |
|
Since the dogs will be in one of our three
playgroups playing with many other dogs all day they need
to play well with others. The daycare environment is not
for every dog and that is why we first evaluate all of the
dogs before they can come and play. Typically by the end
of the evaluation we know if they will do well or not. |
|
| Do you have separate areas for large dogs
and small dogs? |
|
We do have three different playgroups for
the dogs. We have a Romper Room for the little ones and
puppies, a Lounge which is for the medium sized gentle players
or older dogs and the Gym is for the wild and crazy big
dogs who love to spend the day wrestling & playing chase.
We have found that the dogs do much better when surrounded
by other dogs with a similar play style. During the evaluation
we decide where the dog would be most comfortable. When
starting out even some of the rowdiest pups often take a
couple of days in the Lounge to get comfortable with the
daycare environment. |
|
| Is your facility indoor or outdoor? |
|
Most of the time the dogs are kept indoors.
We do have an outdoor area, which allows for frequent outdoor
breaks. Depending on the weather the time spent outside
varies. Typically a dog boarding with us would go outside
anywhere from 6-8 times a day. |
|
| How many times per day do you walk the dogs?
Can we purchase additional walks or play time? |
|
We do not walk the dogs outside we let them
play freely in our outdoor area with the other dogs several
times a day to do “their business” & enjoy
some fresh air. Since the dogs get so much exercise in daycare
they typically don’t require more exercise in the
form of walks. All day is playtime for them with the exception
of a naptime from 12 pm - 2 pm. |
|
| Do you provide dog treats? How many
times do you feed the dogs? |
|
We do provide Old Mother Hubbard biscuits
to all of the dogs during naptime, and they are available
for purchase in our boutique. We are able to feed the dogs
up to three times a day. |
|
| How often do you provide water? |
|
The dogs always have unlimited water in each
of the playrooms. |
|
| Do you provide dog toys? Can we bring our
own toys and other personal belonging? |
|
We provide Kong toys in all of the playrooms.
We do not allow other toys in the playrooms as dogs can
easily become possessive of them or they are easily destroyed.
We allow dogs to bring in their own toys & bedding which
they can have in their crates with them at night. |
|
| Do you require a nap time for the dogs? |
|
We have a naptime from 12 pm – 2 pm
each day. |
|
| What is your cancellation policy? |
|
We do not charge a cancellation fee. |
|
| Where is the nearest vet? Do you have a vet
on call? |
|
We have a vet within a 1-minute drive of
our location on our same street. We also have relationships
with several vets in the area that are always willing to
see a dog if needed. |
|
| What do you do in case of emergency? |
|
We would contact the owner and if needed
take the dog to the vet immediately. |
