Gradie

Miss Gradie O’Leary is an adorable beagle who has been coming to daycare for years and has become a part of the Dogtopia ® family. Her happy-go-lucky attitude and playful ways make her a staff favorite. Gradie also has a sister named Piper who sometimes likes to stay for daycare with her. Whether her sister is here or not, Gradie always has a good time playing around with all her friends in the Toybox during the morning and napping her afternoons away on the futon.

A couple of ways to be proactive and promote a green lifestyle for you and your dog!

1)    Poop Patrol; make sure that you clean up after your dog with biodegradable /compostable bags.

2)      Buy in Bulk, all that extra packaging that your dog’s food and treats come in can be cut down.

3)       Buy eco-friendly dog supplies /toys, there are a ton out there!

4)      Recycle gently used items such as collars, leashes, toys, etc. to a local shelter

5)       Make sure that your dog’s food/water bowl  if plastic is BPA Free

6)      Protect your pup’s health and the environment by using eco-friendly cleaners and chemical free lawn care.

Dogs of the Week

Beau and Belle Nosal are two adorable weimaraners who are inseparable. These crazy kids love to come in every week and go in the Gym when they’re feeling crazy and Lounge when they get lazy; either way you will never find Beau without his best lady Belle

Sassy

Sassy is a beautiful black lab mix who loves wiggling her way around the Gym. She likes to play tag with all her firends and never misses a chance for some lovin’ from our staff.

Her championship comes with a 5-Day Pass for daycare and a goodie bag of toys and treats – not to mention bragging rights for the entire year!

Congrats Arlene!
