After walking away from a horrible experience at a doggie daycare nearby on Santee St. that was owned by 2 lame money-hungry selfish punks, I was relieved and thankful to know that GO DOG LA was still in business after covid. I thought they were closed! In the 2 or 3 times I've seen and talked with the owner Beth - who is a lovely jewel might I add - I felt like I was finally home. Oh and Fizzgig my dog too hehe.
I have a 3yo 15lb dachshund who is a standard sable colored shorthair breed and she killed on her assessment day. Normally her assessments will take at least 20min (we've been to many daycares in DTLA) but at Go Dog, it literally took all but 5 minutes! That's how easy it was for her which tells me that the pack of dogs there are all very chill dogs!
OBLIGATORY PROMOTION NOTE: CUSTOMERS GET 1 FREE DAY OF DAYCARE IF YOUR PET PASSES THE ASSESSMENT TEST
So today, Fizzy (short for Fizzgig) is at her 1st official day of daycare having a grand time with Beth, the workers, and the other friendly cutie dogs. Beth does a fantastic job of communicating to you with her mobile phone since their landline phone is not textable. She texts pics and vids of your furry little loved one throughout the day when she has time and man are they cute and make your day smile. If you need her ASAP, you can text or call her. That's what her mobile phone is for. There aren't any 24/7 cameras for us to watch through but I honestly don't think that's necessary because I've seen the facilities and the "no camera" thing is outweighed by the multitude of positive points of the facilities.
ANOTHER PROMOTION NOTE: NEW CUSTOMERS GET 10% OFF 1x DAYCARE PACKAGE!!!
Speaking of facilities, THERE IS AN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR AREA AND THE WHOLE SPACE IS MASSIVE! This is incredibly important to me because I strongly believe house-training rules must be followed and that dogs should NOT use the bathroom on the inside of the facilities. The outdoor area with grass encourages them to go about their business and reconditions the house-training. I also believe Go Dog is the biggest doggie daycare in all of DTLA (don't quote me on that). The water bowls are always filled with cold water which is great because my spoiled dog only drinks the coldest of waters. And what else... I think that about pretty much covers it!
BETH THE OWNER IS EFFING RAD! THE FACILITIES ARE RAD! THE PRICES ARE RAD! EVERYTHING IS RAD @ GO DOG LA!
COME CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF! DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TO 5 DAYCARES IN DTLA WITHIN 3 YEARS AND THIS 1 TRULY...
Read moreBest doggie daycare in town ! This place is doggie Disneyland . So much to do and so many friends to play with ! My puppy is super happy to return , he goes crazy from the moment I park the car in front of the building.
He goes often for daycare but has also spent a few days in boarding and they take excellent care . I love that they are cage free and all the dogs sleep together and supervised at night , I would hate knowing he’s alone in a cage somewhere .
The best part is the outdoor space . They have kiddie pools for the dogs to splash around in and all kinds of little houses and castles and slides and bridges . Like a playground for kids .
The staff are amazing . They actually love the dogs and monitor them closely , when you ask how your pet did that day they won’t just say “ great “ , they’ll tell you all about his day and who he was playing with , and what funny thing he did and wether he ate or not or what bad habits to watch out for because they really are monitoring them ! They’re not on their phones in a...
Read moreGo Dog LA is, without hesitation, the BEST daycare in LA. We moved to DTLA in 2016 with a dog who has severe separation anxiety that could not be left at home for a prolonged amount of time. We tried multiple daycare in LA, but we were never 100% satisfied. When we finally found Go Dog LA, we never looked anywhere else and stuck with Beth and her team until we moved out of LA.
To this day, we make sure we schedule daycare days with Go Dog LA whenever we're back in the city and Gatsby always come back happy and tired. I love how anytime we pick up Gatsby, we get a little report on how his day went and whatever shenanigans he got himself into. Gatsby is full of mischief and it's always fun to hear how his day went. I also love this because you know that they're genuinely spending time with your dog, playing with them, and actually keeping an eye on them.
Go Dog LA set a high bar on what we expect from a daycare, and we have yet to find one as amazing as Go Dog LA where...
