First Dogtopia in Nevada Re-Opens To Las Vegas Pups

Dogtopia, the nation’s leading dog daycare, boarding and spa facility, opened a new location in South Summerlin on Jan. 27, and due to COVID-19 had to close their doors in March. They re-opened on May 4 and offer contact-free drop-off and pick-up services. Situated at 6415 South Fort Apache Rd., Suite 130, this location is the first Dogtopia in the State of Nevada.

Alongside their rigorous cleaning protocols, Dogtopia is taking additional safety measures based on recommendations from the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association), AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association), and the CDC.

The new location is owned by local entrepreneurs Glenda and Hiram Toro, who relocated to Las Vegas six years ago. Glenda holds a Master in Organizational Psychology and is a seasoned human resource professional. Hiram, now a college business professor, is a former logistics and international business executive. The first Dogtopia in Las Vegas will be entirely family-operated. Joining the management team is their son, Daniel, who after years of retail and banking management will assume General Manager responsibilities overseeing operations of the new location.

The 6400-square-foot facility managed by an expertly trained staff will have the capacity to provide quality personalized care to over 100 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. To foster complete transparency, pet parents are walked through a detailed facility tour while their furry children are evaluated for Dogtopia’s open-play environment. Dogtopia employs webcam technology in each playroom that allows pet parents to check on their pups from anywhere.

“We are thrilled to bring Dogtopia to Las Vegas and provide much-needed care for dogs in the area,” said Glenda. “Our mission is to create the most exciting day ever for pups, while giving their parents peace of mind while they’re away. Instead of being left alone at home or in an isolated kennel environment, Dogtopia provides an opportunity for our furry children to meet new friends, get exercise, enjoy playtime and have quality human interaction while at daycare.”

Community pups will enjoy an open layout where each playroom offers fun for dogs of similar size and temperament. Each playroom also has compressed rubber flooring to ease joints, prevent slipping and promote safer play, as well as a powerful HVAC system, with in-duct UV lighting, that not only funnels air out of the building to ensure clean, fresh air, but also eliminates bad bacteria. Every area is cleaned routinely and solely with dog-safe products.

In addition to providing quality care in a healthy, safe and fun environment for local pups, Dogtopia launched the Dogtopia Foundation with the noble cause to 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.
