State-of-the-Art Dog Daycare Opens in Woodlands West

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Dogtopia, the nation’s leading dog daycare, boarding and spa facility, recently opened its newest location in The Woodlands. Situated at 6622 Durango Creek Drive in Magnolia, Dogtopia of The Woodlands West is offering contact-free, curbside drop-off and pick-up services. A grand opening celebration is slated for Saturday, December 18, from 10 am to 2 pm.

The new location is owned by local father-daughter duo John and Chelsea Ledbetter. From a young age, Chelsea always gravitated toward dogs and animals in general, and frequently stated how she longed to start her own company to provide dog daycare services in her community. In 2018, Chelsea graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Animal Science. John discovered Dogtopia when researching new business opportunities, and knew the daycare service was the perfect match to align his business venture with his daughter’s passion and educational background. Their existing location, Dogtopia of The Woodlands North, has been voted the best dog daycare in The Woodlands for two consecutive years by Woodlands Online.

“We’re thrilled to be able to expand Dogtopia’s presence in The Woodlands and better serve the community,” said Chelsea. “As dog owners and community members ourselves, we take great pride in our connection with our neighbors and aim to provide unmatched service and dedication for all of our local pups and their families.”

Providing personalized care for Montgomery County pups in a fun, safe and comfortable environment, Dogtopia sets the industry standard among dog daycares with its three key benefits: education, exercise and socialization. As pet adoption soared during the pandemic, it is crucial for pet parents to give dogs the proper socialization to prevent separation anxiety that may have developed in lockdown. Dogtopia is the perfect place for pups to gain those important social skills and play with new furry friends.

Dogtopia’s environment allows dogs to feel comfortable, enjoy plenty of playtime and exercise, and the various playrooms offer fun for dogs of similar size and temperament. Each playroom has compressed rubber flooring to ease joints, prevent slipping and promote safer play. Dogtopia gives each dog an opportunity to stay active throughout the day in an environment that is safe and clean, which can give local families a peace of mind.

To ensure the safety of all pups, pet parents and employees, Dogtopia of The Woodlands West is taking extra safety precautions alongside their rigorous cleaning protocol. In addition to their curbside drop-off and pick-up services, Dogtopia maintains a custom cleaning program that utilizes pet-safe products that clean, disinfect and offer the highest level of safety available. The playrooms are sanitized twice daily when the pups are resting, and routine detail cleaning is performed throughout the day. Each playroom has a powerful HVAC system, with in-duct UV lighting that funnels air out of the building to ensure clean, fresh air, and eliminates bad bacteria.

Alongside providing quality care in a healthy, safe and fun daycare center for local pups, Dogtopia also launched the Dogtopia Foundation with the noble cause to enhance the joy of dog parenthood and enable dogs to positively change our world. The Foundation funds programs focused around three worthy causes: Services Dogs for Veterans, Youth Literacy Programs and Employment Initiatives for Adults with Autism. One hundred percent of funds raised are donated directly to supported organizations. To learn more, visit www.dogtopiafoundation.org.
