Celebrate all that is awesome about dogs on National Dog Day!

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

In honor of the special day we’re seeking a pup to crown as King or Queen of Dogtopia for a day!

Entry is simple!  Submit to us in writing at alex@dogdaycare.com why your dog is super duper special and worthy of the grand title with the subject line of “Queen/King for a Day”.

Please include a picture if possible, as well as their location of attendance. All submissions are due by tomorrow, August 26th at Noon.  We will then crown the winner in celebration of National Dog Day!

His Majesty or Her Highness ( as the case may be) will then be spoiled with a Dogtopia day of pampering this Friday, August 27th- including fun with friends in daycare, a trip to the salon for a bath and pawdicure, and a sniffing spree in our boutique.

In addition to the crowning of our Dogtopia King or Queen, we would like to show our appreciation for this furry, four-legged, fun-loving, loyal species with complimentary tasty treats and one lucky pup will take home a free-5 day pass.

Join us tomorrow for all the fun!

Dog of the Week

Gypsy Summa is a cute little Pug Pug who loves to come in bright and early to greet us with a tail wag in the mornings. We have seen her grow from a tiny Pugglet to a beautiful young lady, who is now going to spread her love all the way to our Dogtopia® of Manassas location. We wish you the best of luck, Gyps!

Knowing which foods are OK to give your dog and which foods to absolutely STAY AWAY from are presented in the Web MD slide Foods That Dogs Should Never Eat. Check it out and give us your insight!
