At Dogtopia, we believe in safe socialization, exercise, and education for your pup. Our dog daycare centers in the Portland region provide top-quality care by grouping dogs based on size and temperament. We promise the safety of your dog through our supervised play areas and by ensuring each dog is a good fit for our off-leash, open-play daycare environment.
Because of their social nature, every dog should have access to daycare. Just as it takes a community to raise children, it also takes a community to raise a well-adjusted dog, and we will support you in that process! Above all, we promise to care for each dog as if they were our own.
The Benefits of Dog Daycare
Dog daycare offers a range of benefits for both you and your dog. For your dog, it provides a stimulating environment where they can socialize with other dogs, engage in physical activities, and experience mental enrichment. Socialization and physical activity can help to reduce their anxiety, improve their communication skills, burn off excess energy, and improve cardiovascular health. Time at our dog daycare also helps to avoid boredom and destructive behavior at home.
For Portland pet parents, dog daycare can be a great solution for busy schedules, ensuring that your pup is cared for and entertained while you are at work or away on vacation. It also gives peace of mind knowing that your dog is in a safe, supervised environment, with trained staff to monitor their behavior and needs throughout the day. You can even check in on all the fun your pup is having with our live webcams.
Services Offered at Dogtopia in Portland
Daycare
Dog daycare is our specialty; it’s what we do best. When you drop your pup off at one of our Portland dog daycare facilities, we’ll treat them to a fun-filled day of safe socialization with other dogs, interactions with our caring team, exercise, and the opportunity to burn off their pent-up energy.
Our daycare facilities operate much like that of a child's daycare– we provide progress reports, are familiar with each dog by name, focus on their socialization and development, and believe in complete openness and communication with you as their parent. Additionally, we offer wellness plans for your dog, providing a consistent routine of structured socialization, education, and exercise.
Dog Boarding
Whether you need to board your dog for an overnight stay, a weekend, a holiday, or extended care, your dog will enjoy every moment with us. We strive to make their boarding experience like a home away from home.
During your dog's boarding stay, they will have the opportunity to engage in 8-10 hours of supervised daycare activities, which will include brain games specifically designed to enhance their manners and behavior. These play sessions will be balanced with naps and breaks, ensuring that your dog's wellbeing is prioritized.
When it comes to rest time, your dog will have their own space in our home-style crates, providing them with a safe and comfortable area to relax. To help make this time away from home as comfortable as possible, we encourage you to bring any bedding that will remind your pup of home. Additionally, we recommend you bring your pup’s food to maintain their regular diet and avoid any digestion issues, and their food will be served and prepared exactly as you request.
Spa Services
Dogs require proper hygiene to help maintain their overall health and wellbeing, just like we do. Dogs are susceptible to certain infections and unwanted symptoms when their hygiene is not maintained and their health is so important to us. Our trained spa professionals are here to provide the treatments necessary to promote your pup’s longevity, boost their wellness, and help you develop a hygiene routine that is easy for both of you.
Our spa services include baths, brush-outs, ear cleaning, teeth cleaning, and nail trimming, and at select Portland locations, we also offer grooming services. Our dog spa is stocked with hypoallergenic shampoos, conditioners, and products designed specifically to be safe and gentle on a dog’s skin and coat. Our staff have been trained to work with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. We have designed our spa facilities to cater to the comfort level of your pup, and use multiple drying methods for those who get nervous around loud noises.
The Dogtopia Difference
Meet & Greets
While we believe that no breed or dog is inherently bad, not every pup will do well in our off-leash, open-play environment. To make sure all our doggie daycare guests enjoy their time and stay safe, we require a thorough Meet & Greet for each dog before they join us.
We will review their health history, how they react when away from you, their interaction with other dogs, and how they behave in our naptime crates. This helps us ensure they’ll be a great fit for our daycare. You can schedule a Meet & Greet for your pup at one of our five Portland Dogtopia locations by filling out this form.
Safety and Cleanliness
Here at Dogtopia, we place a high priority on safety and cleanliness. Each location follows a strict cleaning program, including sanitizing the playrooms twice daily from top to bottom. When cleaning, we only use pet-safe cleaners.
Safety measures such as rubber flooring, room assignments based on size and temperament, and climate-controlled HVAC systems ensure that dogs are well-protected while enjoying their time at daycare.
Our staff consists of certified Canine Coaches, an Environmental Biologist, and a Veterinarian to ensure the highest level of safety at our daycare locations.
Locations
Our facilities are designed to offer spacious play areas and comfortable resting zones for dogs to enjoy. Some of our Portland locations also offer outdoor space. Each facility has been thoughtfully laid out to ensure a stimulating and safe environment for all dogs, with features that cater to various activity levels and social preferences.
We have five Dogtopia locations across the Portland area ready to serve you. Give your local dog daycare a call or pop in today to book your dog’s day of fun.
