Dogtopia Reopens At Navy Yard With Contactless Drop-Off, Pick-Up

WASHINGTON, DC — Dogtopia will be reopening its location at 900 M Street SE on April 19, with contactless drop-off and pick-up services for pets. The Navy Yard business will hold an open house on April 17 as part of the reopening process after closing its doors last spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The dog daycare business uses pet-safe cleaning products. Its playrooms are sanitized twice daily when dogs are resting and routine detail cleaning is performed throughout the day.

Each playroom is equipped with an enhanced HVAC unit, including in-duct UV lighting and microbial reduction systems that eliminate bad bacteria and viruses while funneling air out of the building ensuring clean for dogs, employees and pet owners.

Dog owners will be able to drop off and pick up their dogs without getting out of their cars.

“The health and safety of our pups, their parents and our staff are most important, which is why we are following very specific cleaning and sanitary protocol in our facility,” Dogtopia of Navy Yard Manager Katarina Graham said in a statement.

At Dogtopia, dogs participate in playtime and exercise and are separated by similar size and temperament. Each playroom has compressed rubber flooring to ease joints, prevent slipping and promote safer play.

Dogtopia’s fees are all-inclusive. Meals are prepared according to each pet owner’s direction. Dogtopia uses live webcam technology in each playroom that allows registered pet owners the ability to check on their dogs from anywhere using the Dogtopia App or website.
