Dogtopia of Decatur - Decatur, Georgia

We started bringing Ollie to Dogtopia Decatur as soon as he was old enough to go! Over the last 4 months of going to daycare, we have seen such a tremendous change in Ollie’s behavior in the best way possible. The coaches have been so welcoming and friendly to him and now Ollie likes daycare even more than he like being home! My husband and I both work full time, so Dogtopia has made getting a puppy possible and so much easier. We are so grateful! Would 100% recommend.

Wonderful place for daycare and boarding! Beignet is rescue who still has severe separation anxiety / abandonment fear. He rarely hesitates to leave me for "school" and tail wags infinity miles-per-hour waiting at the drop-off door. Love that he has regular dog friends (and human fans) he happily plays with on camera. Through Beignet's behavior and demeanor, can tell he is beyond well taken care of / comfortable and happier / better rehabilitation progress from Dogtopia.
Doctor with long hours and call, thus do membership for everyday and boarding when needed (facility's hours are flexible & great; open Saturdays too). Very grateful to have place can trust & respect, so I can be at peace.
Only issues ever had were from communication breakdown (own experience and observed others'). But the staff are great and made-up for it each time with explanations / follow-through, including credits. The issue might be from an over-reliance on texting. Would still recommended Dogtopia 100% without hesitation.

Dogtopia of Decatur has been a godsend to the healthcare workers who start their days in the early morning. We have been bringing our dog there since she was a puppy and she absolutely loves it! The staff is incredible, always happy to see your fur baby, and they give your pup all the love you can’t while you’re away. They have been most understanding and flexible when your pickup/drop-off times unexpectedly change — and so easy to notify them with a simple text! They are also quick to respond, too! All around a fantastic place; we are so very grateful for them! [Peep our sweet Claire as she was a featured dog of the week! ☺️]

I genuinely love this place. We recently moved to the area from Virginia and tried a couple doggie daycares before landing on Dogtopia of Decatur. My dog Mushu feels very comfortable with the staff here and often runs right in behind the front desk to greet everybody. I like that they have the webcams so I can check in during the day to see what he’s doing. They take great care of him. I am very happy with their service!

Dogtopia has been a great place for us to drop off our dog when needed for an afternoon or for a few days for boarding. It has been very easy to book online or the staff has been very helpful and friendly when I've called to book or check to make sure vet records are up to date. Can't speak for our dog but he always comes home very happy and tired!

Dogtopia Decatur is amazing! We have two dogs that we take there on a regular basis and they are always so excited to go. The staff is extremely friendly and communicative and you can tell they are all big dog lovers. We love being able to keep an eye on our dogs via the webcams so we can see them play and have peace of mind that they are doing great while we are away. Highly recommend!

Moose is an active and social Golden Retriever who loves Dogtopia of Decatur! Every morning, Moose is greeted by smiles from the friendly staff and he can't wait to go inside the playroom. The playrooms are continuously monitored in person by staff and by video. I love being able to check the Dog cameras and catch Moose playing or being loved on by one of the trainers. He comes home well-exercised and content.

I enjoy the flexibility of being able to drop Moose off nearly any time and any day. The weekly activities and treats are a great addition and give me a feeling that the staff are constantly working to keep the dogs entertained and engaged in fun.

I am so grateful to have found Dogtopia of Decatur. I know that my dog is well-loved, well-taken care of, and well-exercised while I am at work.

I have been taking my greyhound to Dogtopia of Decatur for about 1 year (maybe 2) now and he loves it there. It is hard to find a doggy daycare for this love bug due to how fragile he is (little information about greyhounds, Yes they run fast, yes they have energy and get bored and need some interaction. Only thing that makes it so hard to give a greyhound the interaction that they need is that they are fragile. They have thin skin and unfortunately this thin skin can make playing with other dogs difficult because they can get hurt a little easier). I am mentioning this because I am aware of the risk I am taking to give him the fun, love and interaction he needs through him attending daycare at dogtopia.
A few months ago, my dog did get hurt at dogtopia and I could not be happier with the response I got from Gabrielle, The Assistant Manager. She even called me after hours (they close at 8 and she called me after 8 to discuss how to manage the situation at hand). I had a pretty steep vet bill from this injury he endured. She helped put me at ease, looked through all footage of the day the injury took place (which there was no unusual footage, so we were both trying to understand what happened--he is a dog playing with other dogs, sometimes things happen) and explained that a refund for the vet bill will take time due to dogtopia's support team needing to access the situation and let's face it, take the time they need to figure out what to do.
Gabrielle did exactly what she needed to do to keep things on track and to push through to her support team to help with some of the costs and it worked. I received a refund, my gentle giant healed and all is well. I am very thankful for that because I know that she truly cares about my dogs wellbeing. The entire staff shows this care for all the dogs as well.
This response to my dog's needs is the very reason I take him to Dogtopia. I know that he is loved and that the staff is paying attention to him. When I bring him in, they greet him with love and when I pick him up, they give me feedback about the day and always give him the extra cuddles he wants before he leaves (he will take extra attention anytime).
I am writing this review because I want others to be aware of how wonderful Dogtopia of Decatur truly is. I highly recommend.

Big bonus: the daycare is indoors. That means my thin skinned greyhound will not over heat or get sunburn (Yes, a dog can get sunburn) or be freezing during the cold months.
