Dogtopia of New Orleans at a glance

Google reviewers rate Dogtopia of New Orleans 4.7 out of 5 stars, with the owner responding to every review. Customers frequently praise the staff’s kindness, communication, and the physical exercise dogs receive during daycare and boarding.

However, several low-star reviews consistently criticize the facility for strong urine odors in the reception area and concerns regarding hygiene and transparency about camera usage.

They’ve been quick to respond to all requests and treat animals with the kindness and love you would expect. As a small side story; I ran out of coolant one day and I hiked back to the facility to ask for help. One of the kind employees gave me her bottle of coolant free of charge. Great employees in a loving dog atmosphere!

I spoke to Brandon over the phone and he was so helpful and willing to make sure I was squared away for my Meet & Greet. He was a delight and it makes me feel comfortable my dogs will be with such kind people!

My beagle puppy loves Dogtopia! He has SO much energy that we just can't give him enough mental stimulation to be not destructive around the house. He is a heavy chewer and digger. When we bring him for daycare, he plays hard all day, then comes home relaxed and ready to chill with us.

My dog is a cruelty rescue. She’s super anxious and while I think the world of her, she’s not very social. The staff here are incredible and truly love dogs. The routine really helps my anxious animal. I used to never go out of town because I worried about my doggie, but I honestly feel safe boarding her here, and that’s huge.

We've been bringing our pup 🐶 to Dogtpia since he was small and each time has been great! We know that he'll get exercise and playtime with other dogs in a fun and safe environment. We love that we can see our pup while he's there also!

Dogtopia is the best! Penelope has gone there since she was a puppy and 4 years later still loves it. They give her the individual love she needs and she has a blast with the other dogs and enrichment activities. Couldn’t imagine sending her anywhere else
