7 reviews for South Park Doggie Daycare Spa and Supplies
This is the GREATEST place you could ever leave your furry child. Gary, Amanda, Lauraand their entire staff are awesome. Gary the owner had no problem answering ALL billion and two of my questions and putting my mind at ease. The next day I met with Laura the trainer and dog behaviorist who gave me al l the expert knowledge I needed to understand and teach my puppy.
I was a little apprehensive about leaving my extremely shy 9 month old puppy alone with all of the different variety of dogs they had running around, but they all got along just fine. It was like leaving my furry baby with family. Not to mention the facility was super clean, the prices are fantastic, and all of the dogs seem to be happy. It was a totally different experience from all of the other places I had been to.
Dogs were literally running into the kennel on their own with their tails wagging and tongues hanging out. You have to see it to believe it. These people truly have a gift. My puppy will definitely be back for many more wonderful days at South Park Doggie Day Care!
Since I recently moved to LA I needed a new day care facility for my dog Jax. His former day care in Boston was top notch and it was hard for both of us to leave behind. In a bit of a panic, I remembered that I had seen South Park Doggie signs and flyers all over downtown, after looking them up on Yelp and reading some of the great reviews I decided to give them a try.
I called them to inform that Jax was up to date on vaccinations and wanted to check out their day care. The owner was very responsive and quickly set up a time to meet and do a temperament test. They gave him a thorough test to make sure he 'plays well with others', and now he's part of their gang on a daily basis.
Since I live in downtown, I stopped by a couple times this week to check on Jax and see how he was doing. Each time I saw the staff extremely engaged with the dogs, constantly playing with them, tossing a ball around. They even take the dogs on occasional walks around the block too.
Jax has never been happier or more tired at night, he drags me to South Park every morning. I'm very glad to have found such a great facility again with a caring, fully engaged staff.
South Park Doggie Day Care is a home away from home for my dog, Winston. He literally drags me there every morning and is a happy and sleepy pup when he comes home. I bring him at least 4 days a week and also use them for boarding on my business trips.
I trust Gary and his staff at South Park with all my heart. The love they show my dog makes me confident that when I am working a long day I am not depriving him of the excercise and attention he needs. Since I really dont have anyone else to watch my Winston, I don't know what I would do without them and their services.
Since the very first day they have offered me the best. They by far have the best prices on day care packages which include a free bath and even discounts on boaridng. Given the tough economy they trully make things easier for all of us.
If you are considering daycare or boarding, look no further.
I was refereed by one of my friends to South Park Doggie Day Care, my friend had told me that they had an awesome groomer who had done an amazing groom on their 50lb Doodle Marley.
I took my Maltese Maya who was extremely matted and needed a groomer who could work with her matted hair. I picked her up couple hours later and was taken away on how great she looked. It looked like the groomer had spent a great deal of time making sure he had blow-dried the hair completely before giving her final cut. She looked exactly how I wanted her to look, the groomers name is Ken and he is excellent to say the least.
Price was very reasonable and the staff was really friendly. While I was waiting to pick up Maya one of the staff girls gave me a tour of their facility, the kennel area was clean and orderless, the store section and the waiting room are very accommodating with a nice couch to relax and read a few magazines.
I will definitely bring Maya back for her next groom, and now I am even considering even leaving her there for the upcoming holiday weekend while I travel.
I have not used the services here at South Park Doggie Daycare so I can't rate them on service. Last week, i decided to stop by and check out the facility and inquire more about their services and daycare.
When walking in, it really is a big facility, very spacious and clean. There were a good number of dogs in the kennel that day, so it seems to provide a lot of dog socialization and stimulation.
It has been mentioned that the facility will install a webcam for owners to check in with their dogs and see what they are up to. Which i think is an excellent feature, and help potential clients (like myself) see how the daycare operates on any given day.
The owners seem very responsive and try their best for client satisfaction, which is always a plus.
I work and live downtown and have seen signs for this place. We were getting the apartment fumigated and I thought Charlie would prefer to not be part of the process. I had a less than favorable experience with the grooming/daycare place by my house ... and might have used it for daycare purposes alone, only they contacted me after the review so I feel way too awkward to ever go back there. So I trekked out a little bit and am glad I did.
These guys are young, maybe not the most professional-looking guys but they seem to genuinely like the dogs around them, know the regulars by name, etc. When one of the morning regulars came in with her owner, one of the guys called the dog by name and the dog came running over, happy as a clam. To me, this is a good sign. And despite their age, I was impressed by how well, upon my return, Charlie was responding to their direction (so obviously they have some command and understanding the dogs that stay there). He was so pooped afterward. He slept all night from all the socializing.
So anyway: recap ... they're fairly priced, very kind and easy to sign up for (I just brought Charlie morning of with his vet shots and filled out some contact information). I will definitely come back here if I need anymore dog sitting. Plus, they're just starting out and are certainly the underdogs in the neighborhood, so it feels good to support them.

ok. first off i have never been compelled to write a negative review before my experience with this facility. i would probably brush it off if it wasn't about my dog. our pets are our children, i know you guys feel the same.
i understand that they are new and still figuring their business out but my experience was a bad one.
so i was referred to this place by another day car because i didn't have my dogs shots up to date and since there were new they would probably let it slide.
they did.
they charged me $55 for the weekend.
i clearly wrote his simple feeding instructions on the food bag before handing it over and then left feeling a little unsettled.
there was no outside area and i didn't have time to be shown around so the feeling was normal i guess.
when i came to pick him up on sunday afternoon, Gary was not there.
there were only 3 or 4 dogs in the enclosed area and 1 larger dog locked in the smallest compartment that was leaping up at me as i looked threw the window.
when he ran to me i noticed that his collar was about 5 notches tighter than comfortable. when i asked about it the groomer said that they had just washed him. he smelled great but you could barely get a finger between his neck and the collar.
also, when i asked for his food back she handed me a zip lock bag labeled "Princeton" with no instructions on it. maybe less than 1/2 a cup of kibble and his bowl inside.
i had dropped him off with a brand new 5 pound bag.
when i told her that she looked threw the cabinet and went to call Gary a few times.
he didn't answer.
she said he would be in at 6 and promised he would bring it to my house later that night.
i called a few time and he didn't answer.
when we finally spoke he agreed to bring some by monday morning after i told him that there was barely enough to get threw the night.
he showed up at 8:45pm monday night and handed me a bag of the wrong kind. correct brand, but still not the kind i use.
i wasn't pleased and told him so.
he apologized and handed me half a receipt.
it was silly how much energy went into the whole missing dog food thing. one of the girls could have just apologized and given me some money out of the register to cover it .
so bottom line: bring you dog here if you don't care about there not being any outside area or attention.
or go somewhere else.
there are plenty of excellent day cares in the area.
