• How does boarding work with enrollment?
  Dogs on our wellness program are given priority for boarding reservations. Your weekly enrollment may be applied toward your overnight stay’s invoice. If you’re staying longer than you’re enrolled, you simply pay the enrolled boarding rate. If you’re not enrolled and looking to board, you will be charged the non-enrolled boarding rate.
• Is my dog required to attend daycare the same days each week?
  Although that is best for your dog(s) and is highly recommended, it is not required at this time.
• Can I change my plan?
  Yes, we ask for a two-week notice to modify or cancel your plan.
• Can I purchase more days without changing my plan?
  Yes. Additional daycare days may be purchased without changing your plan and we will honor your daycare rate as outlined by your specific wellness plan.
• Can both of my dogs use one plan?
  We allow one dog per wellness plan. If you have two dogs, you’ll need to purchase two plans.
• Will I get a receipt?
  Yes, you’ll receive an email each week notifying you of the charge to your credit card.
• Can I pause my plan?
  Yes. You have the ability to pause your plan for a total of four weeks per year at no charge. All pauses require a one-week minimum. Please email your Dogtopia location to pause your plan or let us know during your next daycare drop off.
• How do I cancel?
  We ask for a two-week cancellation notice to change or cancel your plan.
• Can my wellness plan be used at another Dogtopia?
  Not at this time.
