CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OF PET CARE SERVICE
Fon Jon Pet Care has been servicing San Diego pets for over 70 years! We are proud to have been the first kennel in San Diego, and the only indoor/outdoor kennel in San Diego.
Original owner Fon Johnson opened the kennel on September 28, 1950.
Premier Dog Daycare Services In San Diego
Fon Jon Pet Care stands as the pioneering force behind Doggy Day Care in the vibrant city of San Diego. Over a quarter of a century ago, our owner, Manuel Villanueva, embarked on a mission to redefine canine care within the kennel industry. He introduced a revolutionary concept known as ‘DOG GROUP PLAY.’ From the outset, Manuel meticulously assessed and temperament-tested each dog to ensure they possessed the requisite disposition for participation in our unique group play sessions, a concept christened ‘FREE ROAM BOARDING.’ Our clientele warmly embraced this idea, delighting in the prospect of their beloved pets reveling in a day of camaraderie with fellow canines.
This exceptional concept eventually expanded to include clients who sought to offer their dogs an engaging ‘dog park play day’ during their work hours, marking Fon Jon as the pioneer in delivering this service in San Diego in the year 2000. With 23 years of unwavering commitment to Dog Daycare, we have emerged as leaders in providing an unparalleled fusion of enjoyable, interactive daycare and an in-depth understanding of canine behavior and psychology, outshining the competition. Our expertise extends to comprehending the key ingredients for a happy and healthy canine life, and we are wholeheartedly dedicated to infusing your dog’s life with excitement and joy.
OUR OUTDOOR
PARK SETTINGS:
PARK SETTINGS:
At Fon Jon, we are exceedingly fortunate to offer your canine companion a spacious, outdoor play area for exercise and recreation. In stark contrast, our competitors confine dogs to indoor, stuffy facilities resembling warehouses. Our location near Mission Bay ensures that your dog can bask in the splendid San Diego sunshine, while our yard provides ample shade for those who seek a cooler respite. We firmly believe that our San Diego guests deserve nothing less than the chance to relish our remarkable climate.
TEMPERAMENT EVALUATION:
Participation in our group playtime necessitates a successful temperament evaluation. Additionally, all dogs must be spayed or neutered to qualify for this activity. Once a dog has passed the temperament test, they will be grouped according to their size. After a seamless check-in process facilitated by our daycare specialists, your dog will embark on a day filled with fun and exercise in our play yard.
Does Your Dog Prefer Human Companionship?
Should your dog exhibit a preference for human interaction over playing with other dogs, fret not. Our Individual Daycare program is the perfect solution, offering a day replete with human companionship, petting, engaging activities, and games. Your beloved pet will revel in the company of an enthusiastic human activity companion throughout the day. Gone are the days of leaving your dog home alone merely due to their aversion to other dogs; entrust us to ensure that your dog experiences daily doses of fun and excitement, not just on weekends. Please consult our front office for more details about this exceptional program.
DAYCARE PROTOCOL:
1
In our unwavering commitment to safety, we require all new dogs to undergo a temperament evaluation before joining our group play. In the event of a failed evaluation, rest assured that our one-on-one play specialists will engage your dog in a day filled with enjoyable activities in our private play yard.
2
You are welcome to bring your dog’s breakfast or lunch; kindly package the meal in a disposable plastic bag, providing only the precise amount required for that meal.
3
Our daycare clients may check in at the designated area located to the right of our front entrance, with clear signage to guide you.
4
At the check-in gate, you will find a clipboard for registering your dog.
5
For your convenience, we have installed a microphone by the gate, allowing you to summon a daycare attendant to assist you.
6
We recommend that you please take your personal leash with you unless someone else will be picking up your dog.
7
If you arrive before 8 am, please note that the front office will be closed, but our dedicated staff will have been diligently at work since 6 am.
8
For any inquiries pertaining to your daycare account, we kindly ask that you contact us after 8 am, and our courteous staff will be more than happy to assist you.
9
Prior arrangements must be made through our front office before your dog’s first day at daycare.
At Fon Jon Pet Care, we take pride in providing the highest standard of care for your furry family members, delivering not just a service, but an exceptional experience. We look forward to serving you and your beloved pets
