Dogtopia of North Raleigh, NC Blog

Just a reminder that our small dog meetup is today (Saturday) from 2:00 - 4:00 pm.  The large dog meetup is tomorrow (Sunday) from 2:00 - 4:00 pm.  There are not cost for these meetups.  Come by and make new friends (not just dogs but people too).

Hope to see you soon!

Please join us on Sunday, July 19th, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm for our annual Charity Dog Wash. We hope to wash at least 50 dogs and raise hundreds of dollars which will be donated to the US Police Canine Association Region 2 and will benefit the Raleigh Police Department K9 unit, as well as other local K9 units.  The money raised will be used to fund training, equipment and the care of retired K9s in the area.

Bring your dog to enjoy a brush-out, shampoo and towel dry. A $10 donation is suggested per wash and you get to go home with a clean dog!  We will have a raffle table full of nice surprises.  The Raleigh K9 Unit will be on hand to do demonstrations as well.  We will have other vendors participating in this event.  We don’t want to spill all the beans just yet!

If anyone has any old towels that they would be willing to donate for this event, we would deeply appreciate it.  We are hoping to go through a lot of them.

Today, Ms. Phoebe came for daycare and she had a blast.  She kept Mr. Odie on his toes all day.  I think we might have something going on here.

We are very happy to report that we have now placed foster dog #10.  Since we have opened in October, we have found ten dogs homes.  Mona and her new Mom are very happy and what a perfect match.  We still have Hammie and Sheba that are ready for adoption.  Take a look at the pictures below and let us know if you would like to give them a forever home!

Below are pictures of Bennett and Dasher.  They have become very good friends and just can’t stop playing each time they get together.  It’s great fun to watch.  Couldn’t resist the picture.

Please stop by for a tour and let us show you why it is so much fun!

Now that summer is here, wouldn’t it be nice to take your dog for a walk without him pulling, lunging and jumping? Then this clinic is for you!

Kim Bishop from Pack Leader Central will be here at Dogtopia to show you how to use dog whispering to get your dog to follow you as you walk.

Date: Tuesday, May 19^th

Well it’s that time of year.  We filled the pools and started to enjoy the hot weather.  Well at least the dogs are.

If you are an owner of a dog and you also have a small child please take this as a warning. Don’t leave your dog with the child unattended under any circumstances.

Only a little moment was enough for the following to happen. See the photo:

Daisy is a regular puppy here at Dogtopia.  She recently boarded with us and had such a great time.  Here is a picture of Daisy after a day of Dogtopia.  She needed some extra nap time.

Today was our first Easter Egg Hunt and we had a blast! Once the dogs realized there were treats inside the eggs, they all tried to find as many as they could. Doozer was the quickest to figure out how to open the egg (popping it open with his mouth) and Levi and Theo quickly caught on. Burgy decided that dropping the egg on the ground was the easiest way to get the treat. All the dogs managed to get a couple treats…even if they had a little help from us humans!

Chewy was the first to find an egg
