Dogtopia continues growing, racking up honors in 2026

Dogtopia, a pioneer of the dog daycare industry, Friday released a mid-year update on its business, growth, and recognition the brand has received thus far in 2026. Across the board, the numbers and accolades illustrate that Dogtopia is succeeding in its mission of improving canine physical and mental wellbeing while providing pet parents with peace of mind.

Earlier this year, Entrepreneur Magazine named Dogtopia the number one pet services franchise for the seventh consecutive time in their annual Franchisee 500. The company was also ranked number 4,695 in Inc.’s annual list of the 5,000 fastest-growing companies in America. The brand’s wellness tracking platform, DASH by Dogtopia, was recently named Health-Focused Product of the Year at the Pet Innovation Awards.

“Being recognized for innovation and growth in the same year reflects what our franchise partners and team members deliver every day: care that’s transparent, wellness-driven and backed by real data,” said Neil Gill, President and CEO of Dogtopia. “These honors don’t change our commitment; they confirm we’re committed to the dogs’ wellness and longevity in the right way.”

Business metrics illustrate that Dogtopia is very popular and well-trusted by its customers. The brand has a 98% customer retention rate, which speaks to both healthy, stable demand and a high degree of satisfaction. Dogtopia also achieved a Net Promoter Score of 90 for the first half of this year, reinforcing that its customer base is made up primarily of loyal evangelists who are helping the brand grow through personal referrals and word of mouth.

Dogtopia credits its continued growth and momentum to a focus on transparency and providing pet parents with maximum visibility into their dog’s health, wellness, and behavioral needs. The award-winning DASH activity monitor and app create a portal that pet parents can use to understand how many calories their pets burn, how much rest they get, and more to ensure dogs are meeting their fitness and activity goals. Canine coaches at Dogtopia can also use that data to set new goals, organize play groups, and keep owners informed on their dog’s wellness.

“Every day at Dogtopia is built around helping dogs and their parents live long, happy, healthy lives. If every dog could live two extra years through playing and getting exercise at daycare, who wouldn’t want that?” said Gill.
