For more than four years, Tobi has been a part of Dogtopia of Purcellville's family. So when he suddenly struggled to move at daycare, our team knew right away that something wasn’t right. We called his family, reviewed our footage, and made sure he got immediate care.

When Tobi's family let us know he suffered a spinal stroke, Dogtopia of Purcellville called daily to check on him, sent a thoughtful care package, and organized a fundraiser to offset the medical bills. After five weeks of hard work, hydrotherapy, and a whole lot of love, Tobi is walking, trotting a little, and just came back to daycare with his tail wagging.

We don't just watch your dog; we get to know their quirks, energy, and routines. We notice when something is off, and we partner with every customer to help their pup live a long, healthy, happy life.

Tobi, we're so proud of you! Tom, Tori and the whole Dogtopia of Purcellville team, thank you for embodying Dogtopia's values.

What kind of variety does dog daycare offer that dog parks or walks don’t? 🤔🐶

Dog parks mainly offer open play, while walks are often limited to the same route and routine. At Dogtopia, pups can enjoy agility-style exercises, brain games, follow-the-leader, bubble chasing, craft days, themed photoshoots, tasty treats, playroom dance parties, and more. 🧡

This mix of physical activity, mental stimulation, enrichment, and variety helps make every day more engaging for your pup.

Not every dog is a fan of costumes, and that’s okay! 🎃🐶 Your pup can still join the Halloween fun without being dressed from head to tail. Keep things comfortable and low-stress with ideas made for dogs who would prefer a simple costume.

Mikayla Morris of Dogtopia's Canine Behavior Expert Council explains how pups learn their owner's "normal" well enough to notice when something is off.

Dogs may not understand that you’re ill, but their powerful senses can pick up changes in your smell, body language, voice and routine. Experts explain what your dog could be noticing - and why their reaction doesn’t necessarily mean they know you’re sick
