Top Paw Resort

This is the only place I’ll leave my pup for boarding! They know him by name when he walks in the door (we’ve only been there a handful of times), and my pup is always so excited as soon as we drive up, he loves Top Paw! We’ve used the drop-​in playcare and overnight boarding for up to a week there a couple of times. Each time our little boy leaves worn out and happy! The facility is very clean inside and out – you might expect the smell of dogs when you walk in, but you don’t here! The place is spotless. The outdoor play areas are clean, have secure private fencing, have lots of shade and water available, and are covered in artificial turf, which I like since I know my (white) dog won’t be dirty when I pick him up. The webcams are great, I can take a peek at what’s going on anytime during the day, and of course I can call anytime and they’ll give me an update on what he’s been up to. Any messes in the play yard are promptly scooped up by an employee – I’ve witnessed this on the webcam on multiple occasions – and the dogs are supervised at all times. All the dogs I’ve seen there are friendly and fun, as are the people! My dog gets fantastic care and treatment here and we know he has a safe and fun place to stay while we’re out of town. It’s a little pricey but I’ll gladly pay extra for the excellent care my furbaby gets there.

These guys are so friendly — they literally KNOW EVERY SINGLE DOGS NAME and treat them as if they were their own. They always give me a report on what my dog did that day, and they let you watch them on webcam. The facility is very clean, they are very sensitive to the weather conditions in determining whether dogs stay in or out, and most importantly, my dog gets SUPER excited whenever she sees we’re taking her to Top Paw.
We love the staff and they love the dogs. 5 STARS!!!

These people love my Pom as if he was theirs. Oscar is always happy to arrive and almost looks sad to leave. We can relax and know he is being well cared for when we travel. THANK YOU to all the staff! We would never leave Oscar anywhere but with you.

We can’t say enough good things about this place. Our dog is very shy and she is always so happy to come here when we are going to be away! We love the owners and the fact that we can watch her on the webcams!

I am finally getting around to writing a review after finding this wonderful home away from home for our two Goldens Charlie & Louie months ago ! We struggled with puppy chewing, anxiety and the unknown for our 1 year old Louie daily until my brother told me about doggie daycare for his German Shepards he did in Seattle. I thought to myself wow that sounds like a great idea to try. So I proceeded to do all the investigating as any pet owner would to find a clean professional safe place for my beloved dogs to go to without having the fear of being attacked infested with fleas or any other ailment that you worry about when you leave your pets at a boarding facility. So I went and checked the place out I took a quick tour the place is absolutely spotless inside and out. The synthetic grass in the play area is awesome as we also have that in our backyard. my dogs come home clean not muddy and no ticks that you certainly can get from outside tree grass type areas from other places. This place is amazing I highly recommend you checking it out if you’re looking for a doggy day care or a boarding area for your dogs. My two goldens are always excited to go they know exactly where they’re going when I just get their leads out to get them in our truck. They come home absolutely exhausted from a hard day of play which really puts a big smile on my face. Thank you Top Paw you are absolutely top-​notch

do you love your dog more than all the humans in your life? do you have an investment account set up for the sole purpose of buying her a bionic hip in 10 years? are you a responsible, ethical pet owner who has a vaccinated, spayed/​neutered dog? if so, you should trust the crew at top paw resort to take of your pet.
my baby bear has been a loyal top paw attendee for over a year. i originally began taking her to playcare for the sole purpose of socializing her as a puppy, which was very successful. she is the friendliest, most passive chow chow at any dog park– betraying the reputation of her breed by happily rolling over and letting other dogs indiscriminately drag their balls all over her face. when i downsized temporarily to a studio apartment that made storage spaces look like sprawling mansions, i began taking her to daycare almost daily so that she could stretch her legs and frolick all day. this was not a particularly cheap endeavor, but it’s cool because i also stopped eating around that time so the money i would’ve normally funneled into wingstop was put to better use– keeping my dog happy and healthy. now that i’m settled into a proper house with another dog who keeps her social and active, she primarily goes to top paw for boarding.
my chow chow is not a smart dog. it pains me to admit this. she bangs into door frames when turning her head too quickly, trips over her own paws, becomes deeply agitated by squirrels or plastic bags or anything suspicious, makes weird honking noises instead of whining like a normal dog, and hasn’t really mastered the art of drinking water. but even though she’s unfamiliar with the front door of her house and has no idea where her own tail is, she can tell when we pull into the top paw parking lot. her excitement is palpable– she starts bouncing around happily and scrabbling at me desperately in an effort to launch herself out the car window immediately. she doesn’t even pause to sniff around– just lunges towards the front door with a terrifying eager strength that is going to break my arms one day.
scott and his team know her well and genuinely seem happy to see her even though they’re probably thinking «oh no not her again she’s just gonna sit in the kiddie pool and then smell like dirty dishwater for the rest of the day.» the crew at top paw are clearly avid dog lovers, so consistently kind and enthusiastic that it’s always a pleasure to interact with them. they recognize all of their furry clients immediately so i don’t feel like i’m dropping off big dog #490 328 to an apathetic caretaker.
this would definitely be a 5 star review if there weren’t two small detracting points– first of all, boarding is expensive. it would literally be cheaper to get a motel 6 room for your dog (which i wouldn’t recommend unless your dog is remarkably self-​sufficient and also a drug dealer). the prices have gone up a bit over the past year and top paw began charging for their dog food (an expense you can avoid by bringing your own). i know they provide great care and the safety and happiness of my dog is priceless in theory, but she’s an unemployed lazy moocher who never helps out around the house so it kind of sucks to fork over several hundred dollars for her lodging while i’m bargain hunting for the cheapest hotel room for myself.
my second quibble is minor, but i wish they’d step up their grooming game. top paw bills itself as a doggy spa as well, but they haven’t mastered the art of brushing out a chow chow and a few times i’ve had to ask them to blast her with the dryer a bit longer. this is probably unique to dogs with high-​maintainence coats, but it would still be nice to see her look puffy and clean after her baths instead of wondering «did they bathe her or is she soggy from sitting around in the kiddie pool?»
but really, first and foremost, top paw is a daycare and boarding facility– and it speaks volumes that this is the only place i will ever board my baby until i have to start borrowing from my 401k to afford it.

If your Dog is intact… DO NOT, under any circumstances take him to Top Paw Resort.
We had an emergency and had to board our pup… The place we typically take him is closed on Sunday, so we were in search of a new place. When I spoke to the young lady on the phone, she said Our dog would be taken outside to play every hour for 20 minutes & since he wasn’t allowed with the other dogs the staff would play with him & give him extra attention. Upon arriving, we received this huge lecture about our dog being intact & how we were exposing him to all kinds of health risks. Already leaving in a new place, having an emergency… Not a great way to leave.
*There are reasons for leaving a young dog intact, development & breeding.
Because of weather we were delayed returning home & had to leave him an additional night. The young lady that I spoke with said no problem I’ll even make sure that he gets to run in the big yard when the other dogs are put away.
When I called to check on him the next day they made sure to tell me that he was having a terrible time and that if I had only neutered him he would be having a blast with all the other dogs.
When I came to pick my pup up he was so happy to see me and I was so happy to see him. And as I was paying the bill they made sure to tell me what a terrible time he had because he was intact and
What an amazing time he could’ve had with the other dogs if he too had been fixed. So I asked well if every other dog in your facility was fixed why didn’t you just let them play together. This is where it gets good… They say here is where we are going to educate you… Evidently you are unaware that when an intact dog is in a group with other dogs that have been fixed they hone in on him and they will attack him and send him out of their pack…
Really??? Because that doesn’t happen ever at our usual place. He plays and has a blast!
Then he gives me a recommendation of another facility that specializes in dogs that are intact… Because we really aren’t set up to take the best care of them. No kidding!?! How about the recommendation before I leave my pup… How about you don’t take dogs that are intact!!!
Then the young man, Scott, let’s me know that he made a notation that he didn’t have fun & shouldn’t come back unless he has been neutered. No worries, my Dog will NEVER come here again regardless!
And my dog leaves with an injury to his nose that they neglected to inform me about. That just about Tops it off.

We just moved to the Dallas area a couple months ago and used the Nextdoor app to ask neighbors where they take their dogs for daycare and boarding. Numerous people suggested Top Paw and I can understand why! All the employees are so nice and so sweet to both of my dogs even though they are pretty obnoxious when we arrive (because they are so excited to be there!). The facility is so big and clean, and the yard has multiple shaded areas for hot days. Whenever we pick the dogs up from daycare they are so happy and worn out! Before we needed to board our dogs, we were given an extensive tour of the suite areas that our dogs would be staying in. The morning we were heading out of town, one of my dogs wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t eat her breakfast. I felt so bad to be boarding her in a new place when she wasn’t feeling good that I was almost in tears when dropping her off. The employee was so reassuring that they would monitor her and make sure she ate her dinner that I felt better about leaving her. We called later that evening to ask how she was doing and the employee on the phone was so sweet and gave specific details about her playing and eating her dinner that I knew he actually did know about my dog specifically and wasn’t just trying to get me off the phone. I would recommend Top Paw over and over again! My dogs and I love it!

I could not be more impressed with Top Paw Resort. They were so sweet to our dogs (who were first timers) and answered all of questions with unending patience. They encouraged me to call as often as I’d like (which I did) and always had a detailed report. They never had to look my dogs up but knew exactly who they were and gave personal anecdotes about them each time I called (once a day). Even though they are a 30 minute drive there is no where else I would recommend. Oh and my dogs were exhausted and sad to leave when we picked them.

After extensive research about doggy day care and accidently running into the Top Paw, I decided to bring my little pup for a play day. He is young and full of energy and I wanted him to play rather than be stuck at home. Of course, as you can imagine, my pup is my little «kid». I took him early in the morning and picked up after work. He played well and despite being in the yard with big dogs, he behaved! I watched him on the web camera and called the resort to check on him. When I got to pick him up, he was worn out. Wow, I had my evening to myself that day after 2 months of non-​stop play times after coming back from work. My little one was so tired, it took him 2 days to rest! I am a happy mama and will bring him back again for playdates.
One thing I would mention though — I wish the cameras were better quality to spot him as it was hard sometimes and cameras froze.
The crew is excellent though. Scott was very attentive during touring the facility and he and Rachel both with other guys and girls were absolutely great! I felt like my pup was well taken care of and treated well.
My friends are coming now to bring their dogs! :)
Forgot to mention — the place is very clean and with that many dogs being there, there is no strong smell at all, which was a huge plus as I didn’t want my pooch come home stinking. I walked in some stinky places before…
Hope your pooch enjoys the play date.

After boarding my dog here a week ago, I can safely say this is a great place. My dog is still young (6 months), and unfortunately I have to board her from time to time as I travel for work. I boarded her about a month ago at a boarder in the DFW area that had good reviews, but after picking her up, she was sick and lethargic for 3 days after I picked her up. I don’t know if it was something at the boarder that caused her to be sick, but I decided to try Top Paw this time around.
After picking her up after a 5 day stay, she was in good health and excited to come home. The staff at Top Paw are great, and I fully intend on using Top Paw again in the future. If only they had a location closer to Plano/​Frisco!

My pup was boarded here for a little over two weeks and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I loved being able to see her play with the other dogs on the webcam. The Top Paw team also made special arrangements for me to get my dog after a long and delayed international flight. This certainly made me tear up, as I missed my pup after being away for so long! I definitely will be bringing my dog back!

I have boarded my dog here once when I was out of town for 11 days and another time for 3 days, and I will be dropping her off her today for a 4 day stay… I am overly protective of my dog, as most dog owners are… and really don’t trust just ANYONE to take care of her to my liking. EXCEPT Top Paw when I’m out of town… I love that she gets her own little suite and that the staff caters to her loner ways (she’s getting old and isn’t that crazy about play time with other dogs… so the staff makes time to go play with her and pet her by herself when they have the time… I LOVE THAT special touch)
I had planned to let a friend watch her this time BUT the comfort I have when she is at top paw is what makes being able to go on vacation for a few days without worry worth it.
The staff is friendly and they carry out the instructions that you ask for them too for your dog… I have NEVER had a problem with her condition or temperment when picking her up…
It’s the only place that I trust as of right now…
I’ve worked at a dog boarding facility and this place is AWESOME compared to what is out there (or the places I’ve seen).
They allow me to call in and get check up info on her… They are just a GREAT staff and remove a huge stress of having to find the right care for my dog when I’m out of town… I“m ever grateful and so is my little Maggie!

Top Paw is simply the best. I give them 10 stars !
You won’t find a better staff or place for your dog for boarding or play care. Our dog goes almost every day and loves it.
We were lucky to have found such a great place for our pup.

in the beginning, we did have a pretty bad experience after leaving our baby here for 2 weeks.
unfortunately, we were going out of country for 2 weeks, and we couldn’t find anyone to watch our pup for 2 weeks.
we picked her up after 2 wks, and we were not happy with our pup’s condition.
however, 2 wks off out of our care, and leaving her in hands of others with other dogs, i do understand that they can’t do everything for each and every dog.
the owner contacted me personally, and showed that they really cared for each dog.
they do try their best, and they do pretty good at what they do.
I was very surprised and impressed with the staffs’ effort to help me out, they were very personable.
i would give another try at this resort.
i work in a healthcare industry serving others, and service does make a lot of difference in the outcome.
and their staffs did went beyond to help me out.

CLEAN!!! Friendly and professional staff. I am extremely impressed and happy with top paw resort. The resort was very clean and did not have that «dog» smell that other dog resorts have. I knew right away that my beagle roxi would enjoy the doggie day care here. They have very large yard for both small and big dogs. I first did the tour thinking this would be a monthly thing but after 1 doggie day camp I will be buying the bulk package! Very happy!

Another GREAT stay! As I write this my two babies Tory and Buddy are snuggled up with me and happy to be home, but I can tell they had a blast again boarding at Top Paw the last 5 days. We recently moved to Dallas and I gave one of the closer places a try and they did not like it! So now we drive all the way to Carrollton… happily. Thank you!!!

Top Paw’s staff and facility is the best.
I have tried many places over the years, but I was looking for a place to take especially good care of my dog given that he was a rescue with special social needs.
I can honestly say that the time and attention that they have given him over the last 9 months have made a very positive impact on him. He loves to go to day care as well as board over night. And, he is always happy and healthy when I return to pick him up from his stay.
I feel very lucky that we have found a place that cares for him as much as I do.

Love the people at Top Paw. They were so sweet to my foster baby when he first went. He is a nervous nellie and feared I was leaving him there for good, but was so happy to see me return. I also requested bath and pawdicure, so he was in tip top shape. They really seem to care about the dogs and work hard for them. I love that they are so flexible with EVERYTHING.

I was in great need of a boarder for my dog over the Christmas holiday. Based on Unilocal reviews and it being close to my home I took my medium sized dog to Top Paw Resort. I was greeted by a very friendly staff member who check my pup in and took specific note of my dog’s eating habits and special requests.
Over the holiday I watched my dog from their dog cameras and saw her playing as well as running all her beagle energy out. Even when it snowed, I saw a team member walking with the dogs through the snowy yard and encouraged them to play.
I had ordered upon my pick up the spa package (bath, brush and nail trim) and when I picked her up, she was smelling so fresh and her fur so soft. She was tired for two full days after her stay.
I am only ranking this four stars because this was my dog’s first time here, but fingers crossed in the future when I take her here, I’m just as pleased. :)
