Dogs aren’t meant to be alone all day. In fact, long hours without interaction can lead to separation anxiety, boredom-based mischief, and even depression. 😔

At Dogtopia, we believe in meeting your pup’s physical and emotional needs with:
✔️ Safe, supervised play
✔️ Socializing with like-minded pups
✔️ Mental stimulation and exercise
✔️ Love and belly rubs galore

Don’t just leave them home; give them a place where they can become an even greater version of themselves. 🐶🧡

When you love your “happy place” so much… why wait for a ride? On July 22, Sampson, an energetic pup, slipped out of his fenced yard and engineered his own 1.5‑mile journey straight to his favorite hangout: Dogtopia of Springfield! That’s right, he made the journey all on his own to his home away from home!

"Relieved and not at all surprised" is how his parents described their reaction to the news.

Sampson the dog surprised his owners by escaping from his fenced backyard to travel over a mile, across busy roads, to visit his friends at his favorite doggy daycare

At Dogtopia of Pickering, we know every dog is unique, which is why we don't believe in one-size-fits-all playgroups. 🐶

Each pup at our daycare starts with a Meet & Greet, where we learn about their personality, energy level, and play style.

From there, we place them in a playroom that's just right based on their size and temperament. That way, they're surrounded by like-minded friends as they play, exercise, and learn. 🐕🫶
