Behind every happy daycare day is a team that truly knows and cares about your dog. We love building real relationships with our pet parents, so if you ever have a question, need guidance, or just want to talk through what is best for your pup, give us a call, send us a message, or stop in.

Nick Losciuto, Owner
Hello everyone, I opened Dogtopia in 2018, the first location in Missouri. The dog-care industry was fragmented, lacking transparency and standards, which eroded trust among dog parents in St. Louis. I admired Dogtopia’s leadership and their mission to make pet parents feel comfortable and excited about a second home for their pups. We invested significantly in this store, setting a transparency standard with high-definition cameras in our playrooms and large lobby windows, allowing you to see your pup’s day and feel safe upon entering.
