Dogtopia of White Flint, MD Blog

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

AWWW! Isn’t he just the cutest thing you have ever seen!? This is Darwin, a 4 year old Bernese Mountain Dog who has been visiting us since he was just 2 years old =) Darwin is such a sweet heart and all the ladies fall head over paws for him! Darwin is such a great listener and loves showing off how well he can listen to his mommy when our staff say hello to him! Darwin always puts a smile on our face whenever he comes in. We really hope we continue to see him for a long, long time!

Violet the Golden Retriever loves making sure that everyone knows that she is there and ready for some loving attention!  Not only does she want the room attendants to give her lots of love and scratches, but she is on constantly on watch to make sure there is no one outside who is missing out on the Violet experience.  Some dogs just cannot get enough!

Dog of the Week

This angelic baby girl is Callie the Cavachon. Callie joined the Dogtopia ® family in January, and she also joined the Shatsky family, becoming Jaxson’s little sister! Jaxson has been coming to Dogtopia ® for a while now so we were super excited when he brought along another Cavachon with him! These two are one of the cutest pair of Cavachons that come in for daycare.

Obviously we all know that sharing human food with our dogs is probably not the best for them. Though most of us dog owners, including me, are guilty of sharing the occasional bite or two with our best friend. 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!
