Local Entrepreneur Opens Leading Dog Daycare in Dallas-Inwood, TX

DALLAS-INWOOD, Texas. (August 31, 2026) – Dogtopia, the nation’s leading dog wellness franchise, opened a new location in Dallas-Inwood on August 31. Located at 13520 Inwood Rd, Dogtopia of Dallas-Inwood will provide award-winning dog daycare, boarding and spa services to dog parents in the community. As a welcome gift, Dallas-Inwood dog parents can enjoy their first week free with enrollment.

About the Owner

New owner, Jennifer Byrdsong, a Dallas-Inwood local and former Regional Vice President at Compass Group, spent years overseeing hospitality food service for higher education institutions before retiring to spend more time with her family and her dogs. Missing her pups during the workday and searching for a way to bring them along, she discovered Dogtopia. Inspired by the concept and its mission, she decided to become a franchise owner herself. Byrdsong was sold on the idea after seeing firsthand how much joy and peace of mind Dogtopia gives pet parents, and she wanted to be the one the community trusts to keep their dogs safe, active, and loved while they're at work.

“I've always loved the idea of building something that has a strong foundation yet still gives me room to make it my own. Dogtopia let me combine that structure with my passion for connecting with the people around me,” said Byrdsong. “This isn't just a business, it's my way of giving back to the community I've called home for years and creating a place where dogs and their families feel like they truly belong”.

The Dogtopia Difference

Providing personalized care for Dallas-Inwood pups in a fun, enriching, and safe environment, Dogtopia sets the industry standard among dog daycares with its focus on three key benefits: socialization, exercise, and education. Dogtopia allows dogs to enjoy plenty of exercise, play with like-minded dogs, and learn important social skills, all under the supervision of professionally trained Canine Coaches. In keeping safety at the forefront, each of the indoor and climate-controlled playrooms includes dogs of similar size and play style and is built with compressed rubber flooring to reduce the impact on dogs’ paws and joints.

Dogtopia also runs the Dogtopia Foundation, a nonprofit with the mission to enable dogs to positively change our world. The Foundation funds programs focused on three worthy causes: service dogs for veterans, therapy dogs for students, and employment initiatives for adults with autism. One hundred percent of funds raised are donated to the cause. To learn more, visit www.dogtopiafoundation.org.
