Los Angeles has arguably the biggest unofficial pet fan club in the country and somehow also manages to be the busiest one too! When our fur babies can’t join us on vacation, they have to go somewhere right? We put together this quick list of L.A.’s top doggy hotels.
D Pet Hotels
Address: 1041 North Highland Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90028
Phone: (323) 464-7387
Website: www.dpethotels.com
D Pet Hotels is the ultimate lounge experience with a top-shelf atmosphere and gorgeous modern inspired decor. With five locations spread across Texas, Arizona and Los Angeles they offer a luxury-car pickup service for your pet, which sets them apart in the game by way of convenience. Each suite is equipped with a sleek flat-screen TV and designed with a different spatial schematic so you can choose the one best for your buddy’s needs. The property has not just one but three indoor dog parks for running far and wide. Then, they can relax at the spa center with a bath, massage, ‘pawdicures’ and aromatherapy. The D Pet Hotels are the place to be and L.A. has two at that!
Paradise Ranch Resort
Address: 10268 La Tuna Canyon Road, Sun Valley, CA 91352
Phone: (818) 768-8708
Website: www.paradiseranch.net
Paradise Ranch Resort is one of the most versatile facilities in the country, much less the city. As the first licensed cage-free boarding space for doggies in the entire country, dogs live in their own bedrooms but have all the freedom to roam around the entire property. With a highly attentive staff day and night, they are surrounded by other pup friends constantly. The doggos spend their time during the day running around on the grass, in the pool, the fountains and bridges of the resort. Naptime is welcomed inside the air-conditioned rooms or outside bathing in the sun. Their amenities include training, grooming, private massages, swim and boogie boarding lessons - if they’re into that sort of thing! However, if daycare is all you need, that is on the menu as well. Check out their website for their public webcams of the facility!
The Barkley Pet Hotel & Day Spa
Address: 31166 Via Colinas Westlake Village, CA 91362
Phone: (818) 889-2275
Website: www.westlakepet.com
Even though the Barkley might sound as though it’s exclusive to dogs, it welcomes cats as well; some of their locations also host birds and other exotic animals. The goal of the Barkley Hotel is to mimic the home environment and their team is super hands-on 24/7. Taking into consideration separation anxiety for both you and your buddy, they have a complimentary day trial available before commiting to an extended stay. The accommodations include condos ranging in a variety of sizes, turndown treats, spa time, grooming appointments, bedtime stories, daytime limo rides, playtime with friends and so much more. Like Paradise Ranch, they have webcams for your viewing leisure at any time.
The Wags Club
Address: 11860 Mississippi Ave Los Angeles, CA 90025
Phone: (310)473-3333
Website: thewagsclub.com
The Wags Club is a west side joint that is all about lounging and playing; both with daycare and overnight options. The property offers indoor/outdoor dog park, pool, cabands, grooming room, spa, media and music during lounge time for the optimum level of love for these precious buddies. One of their coolest services is the Pet Concierge situation to help with medical needs, birthday parties, off-site field trips and travel arrangements. The packages can be tailored to your needs and they are an awesome space!
Fitdog Sports Club
Address: 1712 21st Street Santa Monica, CA 90404
Phone: (310)828-3647
Website: fitdogsportsclub.com
Another spot on the west side of the city is Fitdog Sports Club to keep your pets active, healthy and on a daily routine with structure. Each pup has their own private sleeping quarters with 24/7 hands-on love for guests sleeping over. The daycare menu is chock-full of walks, napping, three meals plus snack time (if needed) as well as spa packages, and training sessions. One of the most unique offerings are the hikes and beach days for a little extra cost. A really popular program is the Fitdog Runners Club where you can join completely free of charge to meet the team and play with the other doggos.
