The new Dogtopia location is owned by local entrepreneurial couple, Jeremiah and Amanda Webb. After spending ten years developing and operating two early childhood education facilities in Knoxville, the Webbs decided to make a career change into the pet industry. With an existing day-care background, paired with the couple wanting to pursue a business they could enjoy with their teenage sons, this family is excited to introduce their first Dogtopia center to the community and offer a valuable and quality service. The owners have also signed on to open a total of three Dogtopia locations in Knoxville, including the Bearden-Knoxville center and one tentatively destined in the Farragut area.

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

Providing personalized care for Knoxville 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.

“We understand the dogs in our care are more than just pets – they’re members of the family,” said Amanda. “Our employees are meticulously trained to take every measure possible to guarantee their comfort, safety and meet all of their needs.”

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.

All Dogtopia locations proudly feature support for the Dogtopia Foundation with the noble 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.
