Noted Canine Daycare 'Dogtopia' Coming To Round Rock

ROUND ROCK, TEXAS — Dogtopia, the nation’s leading dog daycare, boarding and spa facility, will be opening its doors to pet parents who have the Founders Pass in Round Rock next week, company officials said.

The opening is slated for Monday, Nov. 19 at 1500 South AW Grimes Blvd., Suite 150.

The new location is owned and operated by local entrepreneurs and married couple, Benjamin and Danielle Hauck. A project manager in the High-Tec industry, Danielle will continue to work full-time while helping operate Dogtopia Round Rock, officials said in a press advisory. Benjamin is a former owner of a call center, but wanted to change industries and combine his love for dogs with his career, and chose to open a Dogtopia in Round Rock, officials added.

In celebration of the opening, company officials announced, Dogtopia of Round Rock will be offering an exclusive Founders Pass promotion for the first 50 dogs. For only $99, the Founders Package includes two weeks of unlimited free daycare prior to the Dec. 1 grand opening, a three-day daycare pass that never expires and a chance to win one month of free daycare.

"Offering personalized care for Round Rock 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," company officials wrote in their press advisory. "To foster complete transparency, pet parents are walked through a detailed facility tour while their furry children are evaluated for Dogtopia’s open-play environment. Dogtopia employs webcam technology in each playroom that allows pet parents to check on their pups from anywhere."

Benjamin Hauck expounded on the site's mission: “We are thrilled to bring Dogtopia to the neighborhood and provide much-needed care for dogs in the area,” he said. “Our mission is to create the most exciting day ever for pups, while giving their parents peace of mind while they’re away. Instead of being left alone at home or in an isolated kennel environment, Dogtopia provides an opportunity for our furry children to meet new friends, get exercise, enjoy playtime and have quality human interaction while at daycare.”

The site offers an open layout where each playroom offers fun for dogs of similar size and temperament. Each playroom also has compressed rubber flooring to ease joints, prevent slipping and promote safer play, as well as a powerful HVAC system, with in-duct UV lighting, that not only funnels air out of the building to ensure clean, fresh air, but also eliminates bad bacteria, officials noted. The Haucks added that every area is cleaned routinely and solely with dog-safe products. Dogtopia’s fees are all-inclusive – meals are prepared according to each pet parent’s direction.

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

In addition to providing quality care in a healthy, safe and fun environment for local pups, Dogtopia launched the Dogtopia Foundation focused on 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.
