Dogtopia of Temecula, CA Blog

Yesterday at Dogtopia was a blast!  We had 7 Pugs in total attending daycare - completely unplanned.  The staff and the owners had a great time watching their Pugs running around on camera; they commented on not being able to figure out which Pug was theirs.  At the end of the day, we are happy to report we returned each Pug to its rightful owners. 

Tuesdays and Thursdays at Dogtopia are really shapping up to be our “small dog” days.  If you have a little one you’d like to socialize and get exercise, come on down for daycare.  You will love bringing home a tired dog.

Please join us on Saturday, July 18th, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm for our annual Charity Dog Wash. We hope to raise hundreds of dollars which will be donated to the Murrieta Police Department’s K9 Unit.

Bring your dog for a brush-out, shampoo and towel dry. A $10 donation is suggested per wash and you get to go home with a clean dog!  The Murrieta K9 Unit will be attending the event and there will be lots of dog friendly vendors as well.

Ah, it’s been a while since our last blog; things have been busy here as we ramp up for summer boarding reservations.  The latest and greatest exciting news is that Dogtopia of Temecula is helping support the City of Temecula with donations of much needed waste bags for its two dog parks, Red Hawk and Margarita.  With many cities experiencing tough economic times, it was our pleasure to help out.  We want nothing more than to see our four legged neighbors continue to have a blast as they play in the city parks.  When you have a chance, go and check out our signage at the park!

Monday’s Yappy Hour was a huge success.  We had a great turnout that resulted in lots of new doggy daycare and boarding customers.  There aren’t many events that you can attend with your four legged family members so it was clear that good times were had by all, especially the pooches since they got to indulge in plenty of doggy treats. 

Thanks to all that attended and a special thanks to Melissa Palomo (pet photographer), Pet Butler, The Laundered Mutt and Training Center, and MESA Mobile Veterinary Clinic.  Let’s do it again real soon!

Humans may have Happy Hour, but our furry friends have Yappy Hour!

Join us Monday, April 27th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm for wine, snacks and of course, lots of treats for doggies!

Professional pet photographer, Melissa Palomo, will join us displaying her prints and offering a free gift to those that book a photo session.

Dog trainer, Cat Zoyiopoulos, CPDT, of The Laundered Mutt and Training Center will be available to answer dog behavior and training questions. Cat will also bring along one of her top groomers.

MESA Mobile Veterinary Clinic, the Inland Empire’s provider of affordable veterinary care in the comfort of your own home.

Pet Butler, Temecula’s pet waste cleanup and removal service. Learn how Pet Butler can lighten your backyard’s load.

This is a FREE and pup friendly event, so bring your dogs along and share this invitation with all your friends!

Dogtopia is the Temecula Valley’s premier dog daycare, boarding and spa facility.  Our facility features an open play environment where your dog is free to play with other dogs of similar size and temperament.  We have three large climate-controlled playrooms with padded flooring, full supervision in each room, live webcams and an 1,800 square foot outside yard with grass and trees.  This is your dog’s home away from home.  Your dog will also receive tons of individual attention from our trained daycare staff.  
 

The benefits of allowing your dog to attend doggie daycare are astounding. For young dogs it teaches them invaluable social skills that will help them learn how to properly meet and interact with a variety of other dogs. It also helps young puppies with their potty training because we keep them on a very routine potty schedule. Very hyper dogs are given a proper outlet for all of that energy. At the end of the day you can simply relax and enjoy their company at home and not have a dog demanding attention and exercise.

Dogs love to run, jump and play, and that’s exactly what we encourage here at Dogtopia.  Dogs spend their day in playgroups, rotating between indoor and outdoor play areas. Playgroups are formed with dogs of similar sizes and temperaments.Dogs arrive as their parents leave for work, school or a long day of errands.  Their furry friends immediately greet them ready for a long day of play. The day is spent playing on the playground equipment, swimming in the kiddy pool, or just lounging around on the sofa. By the time parents arrive to pick-up their dogs from doggie daycare, they find their dog tired and ready for a nice dinner then off to bed. This is a dream come true for the equally tired pet owner.

On Saturday, March 28, 2009 Dogtopia of Temecula held a dog wash fundraiser.  All the proceeds went to the Murrieta Valley High School’s Freshman Class and what a huge success it was!  We had a great turnout along with some very generous people.  We were even told that this was the most successful fundraiser for them yet.  We were proud to be a part of such a wonderful cause and are looking forward to hosting another fundraising dog wash in the near future.

Get your dog ready for Spring with a bubble and scrub for a wonderful cause!  Dogtopia of Temecula will be holding a fundraising dog wash for your four legged pooches.  All donations will benefit Murrieta Valley High School.
