The dog daycare center Dogtopia is coming soon to Blackhawk Plaza in Danville, where G.R. Doodlebug and Read Booksellers used to be.
From their website:
While our centers offer dog daycare, boarding and spa services (with some offering grooming and training), our core service is daycare for your dog. Daycare is a purposeful choice made for the love of your dog – a selfless decision to ensure they are happy, healthy and equipped to become a well-rounded pup. Even our boarding services offer your pup an open-play environment to get them the socialization, exercise and education they deserve.

The last few years have not been as rewarding with losing seasons the last three years so it’s not surprising they closed last week. Thanks to all who emailed me about this.
