Mikayla Morris of Dogtopia's Canine Behavior Expert Council explains how pups learn their owner's "normal" well enough to notice when something is off.

Dogs may not understand that you’re ill, but their powerful senses can pick up changes in your smell, body language, voice and routine. Experts explain what your dog could be noticing - and why their reaction doesn’t necessarily mean they know you’re sick

It’s about that time!📆⏰😉 Give it up for our next Dog of the Week - Poppy!👏👏 Poppy is a 6️⃣ month old Chihuahua Mix puppy! She’s as happy and excited as they come!🤩 When Poppy is here to play, the pups know it is time to rise and shine!🌅 Playtime should be her middle name, and Poppy knows how to make a BFFF out of all the other puppies!👯‍♀️ If they’ve got any energy to play, you know Poppy is there to get those wiggles out💃 But when the puppies have hit that Dogtopia Daze😴, Poppy loves a nice nap and cuddle in a cozy spot in the playroom too!🧘‍♀️

Outside of daycare, Poppy loves to chase the city animals🐿️🐦‍⬛ 🐕💨, and is convinced she could climb a tree to get to them💪. Her favorite place is the park🌳, where she loves racing around with other dogs🐾, playing fetch🎾 and wriggling around in the grass🤗. Poppy also enjoys loving on (or “tormenting”says pet parent Hadley😅) her two kitty brothers.🐈‍⬛🐶🐈‍⬛

Hadley chose her name “on a whim but it’s very fitting, when she’s playing chase she loves to hop (pop) completely over the other pups,” she adds, and it earned Poppy the nickname “Pops!”🍿 But if she were a famous character, Hadley says she’s be Donkey from Shrek🫏! “She will simply not leave your side or let you go on any kind of adventure without her! And she’s extra eager to befriend every person and dog,” says Hadley, which we find absolutely accurate!😍 But these pups won’t ever ask her to leave their swamp!🙂‍↔️

Our wiggly little lady is growing up quick📈, but we know she’ll have that happy puppy personality forever!🤗 We’re excited to keep watching her learn the ways of being a top dog canine citizen🌟, and of course, be the best furry friend every playful pup needs!🧡💙

It’s Sunday and you know what that means!📆⏰😉 Give it up for our next Dog of the Week - Willow!👏👏 Willow is a 1️⃣ year old Golden Retriever Mix!☀️ A classic Golden puppy⭐️, Willow knows how to catch the spotlight🔦 and be the life of the party💃! As soon as she steps into the lobby, we hear those iconic, excited “Woo-woo’s”🎶 asking us to bring her back to play posthaste!👏 Once she’s in the playroom, all the pups know it’s party time😎 and their BFFF has arrived🥳 - especially her favorite bestie, Cleo!👯‍♀️

Outside of daycare, Willow loves swimming in rivers🏊‍♀️, chasing bunnies🐇 🐕💨, conspiring with cows🐮🧐 (see photo for proof), and morning cuddles🤗! Hilariously, Willow’s name came about when pet parent Monique’s friend, who convinced her to get a dog, joked that Monique “would name her dog Fern or Willow or something...”👀 “She was right,” adds Monique🤣. If she were a famous character, Monique says Willow has the soul of Boo from Monsters Inc.🐙💜“because she thinks she’s bffs with anyone and everybody,” she adds🥰. Willow’s happiness can light up any room she’s in!🤩

Our silly, happy girl has quickly zoomed her way into being a Dogtopia Family staple😍! Thanks for bringing that golden energy everyone loves and needed!🧡🧡

Drumroll please!🥁🥁🥁 Give it up for our next Dog of the Week - Kevin!👏👏 Kevin is a 1️⃣ year old Papillon Mix pup!🦋 His long legs, lovely fur and adorable ears are enough to make your heart melt already😍, then he turns around and hits you with that iconic underbite smile!🤩 Kevin has held a special place in everyone’s hearts, human and pups, since we met him💞. Not only is he an absolute cutie pie😘, Kevin is also one of our most popular BFFF’s and can make friends and play with pretty much everyone in the little dog room🥳! He can always be seen in room playing as a tumbling black and brown blur🌪️, usually with his BFFF, Kiara👯

Outside of daycare, Kevin enjoys birdwatching🦜, cuddling with mom🤗, and throwing his toys all over the house🧸 🐕💨. “He has a raccoon toy that we call Jimothy,” pet parent Sheena adds, which is pretty awesome!🦝 As far as his name goes, Kevin was almost named Stix because of his long legs!🥢 “I decided to go with Kevin based on vibes and his handsome face,” says Sheena. I mean look at that smile!😁 How could anyone disagree?🤷‍♀️ But if he were a famous character, Sheena says he’d Kronk from Emperors New Groove🕺 because “he’s the best sidekick a girl could ask for (even when he makes mistakes,) and he’s very much a himbo who loves a strong woman.”😂💯 Absolutely perfect answer!👏👏

Kevin is the coolest little dude, and he could never throw us off our groove!💃 We’re excited to keep seeing him continue to grow, and keep teaching all the new pups what daycare is all about!🥹 Thanks for being such a fun part of our Dogtopia Family, Kevin!💙💙
