Round Rock, Texas Sep 9, 2026 (Issuewire.com) Hip Hounds (hiphounds.com), a dog daycare and boarding facility located at 1912 Picadilly Drive in Round Rock, Texas, today announced that it has been named the 2026 Best Dog Daycare in Round Rock by Top Business Awards US (topbusinessawards.us.com), a national register of award winning local businesses.
Top Business Awards US identifies one winner per business category in each city it covers. Its selection process draws candidates from local business licensing records and, where applicable, state or municipal animal facility licensing and inspection records. Each candidate is checked for an active license and current liability insurance, and public review history is read for recurring themes such as injury or escape incidents, staff to dog supervision ratios, cleanliness, and emergency communication, alongside a 36 month review of complaint records held by local animal control, state licensing bodies, and the Better Business Bureau.
Hip Hounds is owned and has been operated by Michael Mayer as a single independent location since June 2006. Hip Hounds combines a climate controlled indoor building with outdoor yards, pools, and playground equipment. Hip Hounds runs continuous group supervision rather than rotating crate schedules, and Hip Hounds confines crating to a scheduled midday rest period. Hip Hounds publishes live webcams of its play areas, allowing owners to verify conditions directly. Hip Hounds requires every new dog to complete a free evaluation day before joining group play, functioning as a temperament screen and a check on group composition.
Selection Criteria for the Best Dog Daycare Award
* Active licensing and current liability insurance
* Staff to dog supervision ratios
* Cleanliness and facility conditions
* Injury and escape incident history
* Communication during emergencies
* Complaint records over the preceding 36 months
“Hip Hounds earned this recognition on supervision practice and operational transparency rather than marketing claims,” said a Top Business Awards US spokesperson. “A nineteen year operating record under one owner, combined with live webcam access for pet owners, gave us a clear basis for the selection.”
