RUBBERIZED FLOORS: COMFORT & SAFETY FROM THE GROUND UP
Our facility features specialized rubberized flooring, designed to enhance playtime, safety, and long-term joint health. Developed through years of research across Dogtopia’s 250+ locations, this premium surface is a game-changer for active dogs, senior pups, and everyone in between.
Why it matters for your dog:
