Dog Boarding

Are you leaving town? Do not worry, your pet is safe and sound. Our boarding services give your pets a safe and comfortable place to stay, with daily exercise and one-on-one care. Our cats get to relax in their own cozy condos while their dog neighbors are playing with other dogs or with a person.

Bathing

We have a full-time pet bather on staff who can do all of your dog or cat's bathing needs, like bathing, plucking, brushing, cleaning ears, and getting rid of hair. We can give your pet anything it needs, from a simple bath to a full spa day of treatments. You can just walk in for a grooming appointment, but it's better if you make one ahead of time. If you book dog boarding, cat boarding, or dog daycare, you can also add grooming services for your dog or cat. We suggest getting your pet bathed on the last day of pet boarding to make sure they are clean when they get home.

Training

Our professional trainers can help you whether your dog needs basic obedience training or more complex changes to the way it behaves. We have a number of training programs that can be changed to fit your dog's needs. We work with Man-K9 for our dog training services, which was founded by Manuel Villanueva, who is also Fon Jon Pet Care’s owner. Man-K9 is one of the most sought after K9 trainers in and outside of the United States.

Pet Care Tips for La Jolla Residents

Climate Considerations:

The mild Mediterranean climate in La Jolla makes it a good place for pets, but there are still some important things to think about:

Heat Precautions:

Temperatures can rise a lot during the warmer months, especially in the summer. Make sure your pets always have fresh water and a place to rest. If you don’t want your dog to get too hot or get paw pad burns from walking on hot pavement, don’t walk your dog between 10 AM and 4 PM.

Water:

Make sure your pets drink plenty of water. When you go on trips, bring a portable water bowl and fresh water. Excessive panting, dry gums, and feeling tired are all signs of dehydration.

Winter Care:

La Jolla has mild winters, but the evenings can get cool. Make sure your pets have a warm, cozy place to sleep, and for walks, think about getting short-haired breeds a sweater.

Local Pet-Friendly Spots:

La Jolla is a pet lover’s dream, with lots of places that allow pets.

La Jolla Shores Beach:

This popular beach allows dogs before 9 AM and after 6 PM (4 PM in the winter). A run along the shore in the morning or evening is a great idea.

Kate Sessions Park:

Known for its panoramic views, this park offers plenty of open space for dogs to play. We love this place for a picnic with your pet.

The Original Dog Beach:

This off-leash dog beach is just a short drive away in Ocean Beach. It’s a great place to let your dog run around and play in the waves.

La Jolla Cove:

Dogs aren’t allowed on the beach itself, but they are welcome in the parks nearby, which have lovely walking paths with views of the ocean.

Events and activities for pets in the area:

Doggie Meetups:

Join local dog meetups and social events in La Jolla. You can meet other pet owners and socialize your pet at these events.

Pet-Friendly Dining:

Many restaurants in La Jolla have patios where pets are welcome. You can eat with your dog at places like Cody’s La Jolla or The Patio on Lamont Street.

Health and Wellness:

Veterinary Care:

Make sure you have a reliable vet in your area for both routine visits and emergencies. The La Jolla Veterinary Hospital is a great place to take your pet.

Nutrition for Pets:

Make sure your pets eat a balanced diet. Pet stores in the area, like Muttropolis in La Jolla, sell high-quality food and treats for pets.

Exercise:

Giving your pet regular exercise is very important for their health. La Jolla has a lot of parks and walking trails that you can use to keep your pet active.
