Quick Pitch

Circle Canine Colorado, LLC is the exclusive Area Franchise Developer for the Colorado region for the franchisor Dogtopia. Colorado has the largest per capita number of dog owners in the country, with strong consumer demand for dog care services. Dogtopia is a premier provider of pet care services for dogs, including exceptional dog day care, boarding and spa services. Dogtopia is becoming the national leader projecting over 400 store locations in the U.S. and Canada by 2018.

Live. Love. Play.

Dogtopia was founded in 2002 by CEO Amy Nichols, an avid dog lover and well-respected entrepreneur. Her aim in founding Dogtopia has always been to provide dogs and their families with an exceptional dog daycare and boarding experience by creating a home away from home for their beloved pets, modeled after "Best in Class" child day care providers.

Dogtopia’s “Live. Love. Play.” philosophy serves as the foundation for the brand’s core identity. Upholding values such as honesty, integrity, giving back to the community, and being passionate and enthusiastic about caring for dogs have propelled Dogtopia to build a strong, loyal, ever growing customer base.

Traction & Accomplishments

Currently there are 32 Dogtopia franchises and three company-owned locations operating in 11 states: Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Colorado, Nebraska, Indiana and California.


As of May 2013 there were over 80 additional stores in varying stages of development in California, Eastern and Western Canada, Arizona, Dallas and Colorado through the Area Developer Franchisor model.


In the summer of 2012, Dogtopia announced a strategic partnership with Thomas Franchise Solutions (TFS), a holding company combining substantial private equity investment capital, best practices, franchise strategic management and franchise sales execution expertise. TFS identifies best in class franchise brand concepts under great leadership, poised for exceptional additional growth through Franchise Area Development. TFS was created by Peter H. Thomas, past Chairman and Founder of Century 21 Real Estate Canada, Ltd. (currently over 850 offices nationally, with sales volume in excess of $5 billion).

The TFS partnership and investment enables Dogtopia to strengthen its brand by investing in a new system-wide point-of-sale system (POS), an online university to enhance training, increased national marketing efforts to drive brand awareness and franchise sales, and additional home office senior executive team members to enable superior support and franchise development implementation and enhanced operational performance.
