Healthy Spot, the eco-friendly and fun dog care facility in Santa Monica, truly lives up to its name. This one-of a kind “spot” is not just a grooming facility, but rather an all-out playful and luxurious experience for your canine companion. Owners Andrew Kim and Mark Boonark believe that pets are an extension of the family and have created a space that is welcoming and comfortable for your furriest family member.
“Spa treatments,” “doggie daycare” and “puppy preschool” are some of the services you can choose from. All of the products used in the “spa treatments” are safe for the environment and your dog. Plus, they serve 100% natural food with vegetarian and vegan options!
The demeanors of the Healthy Spot staff matched the surrounding bright and cheery décor as they ushered me and my own canine companion into the expansive studio. Max, my adorable and furry best friend, was attacked by a coyote three years ago. Although fully recovered, he can be tentative and skittish from time to time. The staff handled Max with the utmost care and dignity and at the end of his treatment that included a clean cut for summer, Max was smiling…yes, smiling!
Another reason I love Healthy Spot is because they have partnered with the non-profit fundraising organization, A Walk for the Underdog. The organization is dedicated to raising funds for over 30 animal shelters and rescue shelters in Los Angeles as well as bringing awareness to animal welfare.
Healthy Spot is located at 1110 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica, 90401. Phone: (310) 458 - 2004. Web: www.healthyspotla.com
