How DASH is Transforming Dog Daycare at Dogtopia
April 30, 2026
Why does Dogtopia now have DASH Activity Monitors?
We all know that exercise is beneficial, but did you know that most dogs do not get enough activity? In fact, 59% of dogs in the U.S. are classified as overweight or obese. This increases the risk of joint disease, diabetes, heart issues, and reduced mobility. For pet parents with busy lifestyles, daycare is a great way to help ensure their pup stays active, engaged, and healthy.
That’s where DASH Activity Monitors and Dogtopia come in.
Dogtopia introduced DASH to help pet parents see the real impact daycare has on their dog’s daily life and long-term health. Rather than simply assuming your dog had a great day, DASH provides measurable insight into how much they’re actually moving, playing, and engaging throughout the day.
Active, healthy dogs can live up to 1.5 years longer than their less active counterparts, and very active dogs are 6.47 times less likely to develop Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD). With DASH, pet parents gain peace of mind knowing their dog isn’t just being supervised—but is truly benefiting from consistent physical and mental activity.
Dogtopia dogs enjoy 8+ hours of supervised play where they socialize with their B.F.F.F.s and stay active both mentally and physically. On average, dogs can reach up to 8 miles of activity per day while participating in Dogtopia’s safe, structured, and supervised environment. The addition of DASH allows pet parents to track this activity over time, reinforcing healthy habits, and even helping identify changes in energy levels or behavior.
Dogtopia also utilizes compressed rubber flooring to ensure play remains safe and gentle on joints and paw pads, supporting dogs of all ages and activity levels and protecting joint health.
With DASH, daycare becomes more than just play—it becomes a data-driven approach to canine wellness, giving pet parents visibility, confidence, and a deeper understanding of their dog’s health.
