Franchisee testimonials
Dogtopia franchisees come from various backgrounds and experiences and attract men and women, husbands and wives, and partners from across North America who understand the value of working together as a collective team to achieve our goals. Our owners are motivated, tenacious, and passionate. Each one is different, but each one shares a common trait: an affinity for dogs and a desire to grow a successful business.

“Dogtopia has the most talented, impactful, and passionate Support Office in franchising. The brand has best-in-class marketing and presentation of its units, and its operational playbook is clear, concise, and proven. You might say the brand has unparalleled gumption and is not only proving itself but also excelling even amidst a pandemic. Bottom line: I wanted to be in the dog business, but I also wanted to be part of a brand that would define and own its category, and I feel I made the right choice.”
