Doodles—like Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Bernedoodles, and Aussiedoodles—are some of the most popular dogs in Brevard County, and for good reason. Known for their intelligence, friendly personalities, and affectionate nature, Doodles make wonderful family companions. However, they also come with specific exercise, grooming, and wellness needs that require the right daycare environment.

At Dogtopia of Viera, we understand what makes Doodles unique—and why our indoor, open-play dog daycare is an excellent fit for them.

Understanding the Doodle Personality

Doodles are typically:

• Highly intelligent and quick learners

• Extremely social and people-oriented

• Energetic, playful, and sometimes goofy

• Emotionally sensitive and eager to please

Because of their intelligence and sociability, Doodles thrive in environments where they can interact freely with other dogs while being supervised by highly trained professionals. Without proper outlets, they can become bored, anxious, or develop unwanted behaviors at home.

Dogtopia of Viera provides structured, supervised open play that allows Doodles to socialize naturally while staying mentally engaged throughout the day.

Exercise & Wellness Needs for Doodles

Most Doodles have moderate to high exercise requirements, especially younger dogs. Daily walks are often not enough to burn off their energy or meet their social needs.

At Dogtopia of Viera:

• Dogs enjoy all-day indoor open play, not rotating kennel time

• Play is supervised by Canine Coaches trained in open play behaviors

• Playgroups are based on size, temperament, and play style

• Rest breaks are built in to prevent overstimulation

Our indoor, climate-controlled playrooms provide a safe, weather-proof environment—ideal for Florida’s heat and storms. This makes Dogtopia the only true open-play dog daycare concept, where dogs always get 8-10 hours of play time.

Regular daycare helps Doodles:

• Maintain a healthy weight

• Improve social skills

• Reduce anxiety and destructive behaviors

• Come home relaxed and fulfilled

Common Health Considerations in Doodles

While generally healthy, Doodles can be prone to:

• Joint concerns (hips and elbows)

• Ear infections due to floppy ears

• Skin sensitivities

• Overstimulation without proper rest

Playroom floors made from compressed rubber reduce the impact on dogs’ feet, joints, and hips. Our team closely monitors each dog’s activity level and behavior, ensuring Doodles get the right balance of play and rest. Because our playrooms are indoors and supervised, dogs are protected from extreme heat and overexertion.

We also offer wellness add-ons such as:

• Nail trims

• Ear cleaning

• Teeth brushing

• Full Grooming

These services support long-term health and help prevent common Doodle-related issues.

Grooming Needs: Why Routine Matters for Doodles

Doodles require consistent grooming to keep their coats healthy and mat-free. Their curly or wavy coats can trap dirt, moisture, and debris—especially after active play.

At Dogtopia of Viera, we work closely with pet parents to support grooming wellness by:

• Keeping playrooms clean and sanitized

• Offering grooming-related add-on services

• Notifying pet parents if we notice coat, skin, or ear concerns

Routine daycare combined with regular grooming helps keep Doodles comfortable, clean, and healthy.

Why Dogtopia of Viera Is Different

Unlike traditional facilities, Dogtopia of Viera offers:

• The only true indoor, open-play daycare experience

• Constant supervision by trained staff

• Climate-controlled playrooms

• A focus on safety, structure, and enrichment

As a locally owned, family-operated business, we take pride in knowing each dog individually and creating a daycare experience that feels like a second home.
