Dogtopia’s 7th Annual Charity Dog Wash

Dogtopia’s Annual Charity Dog Wash will take place this Sunday,  July 17th.
Donations and proceeds will benefit local working and service dog organizations.    

In years past there have been presentations by Alexandria Police working dogs, exhibits and products by PetSage, a local holistic pet store, giveaways and more. 


A suggested donation would be at least the amount of a bath for your size dog. 

A little history behind this charity event from Dogtopia’s website: 
The first dog wash fundraiser was held in July of 2005 at the Dogtopia location in Vienna, VA with the goal of generating support The campaign's success led to the founding of a charitable arm, K-9 Support, Inc., to support working and service dogs of all kinds. Dogtopias nationwide have taken part in the effort, raising over $60,000 in donations for everything from infrared beacons for local police K-9s to deferring the costs of training service dogs.




The Alexandria Dogtopia is located at 1321 Colvin Street, off Duke Street.  (behind the CVS pharmacy, across the street from the Giant).
