Dogtopia's 8th Annual K-9 Support Charity Dog Wash

Dogtopia's 8th Annual K-9 Support Charity Dog Wash is here, and we need your help!  Since the start of our dog washes, Dogtopias coast to coast have raised over $80,000 as we take part in the cause. These donations have allowed for the procurement of everything from infrared beacons for police canines, specialized equipment for search and rescue dogs, and assisting in deferring the costs of training service animals. 

This Monday through Saturday, July 16th-21st, it's easy to do your part. Just add some pampering to your dog's day of play! While your dog is here, sign them up for a bath or nail trim at Dogtopia of White Flint, and 100% of the spa proceeds will benefit K-9 Support!  Don't play at Dogtopia?  Not a problem.  Call the front desk and set up an appointment for a bath, and the suggested $15 donation goes directly to help working dogs both in the USA and serving overseas.  Don't have a dog, but want to join the cause?  Great!  Checks can be made payable to K-9 Support, and mailed to Dogtopia of White Flint.

The founding of Dogtopia's charitable arm, K-9 Support, Inc., was sparked after a hugely successful dog wash fundraiser was in July 2005 at the first Dogtopia location in Tysons Corner, Virginia. Today, K-9 Support continues to support military, working, and service dogs of all kinds.
