Healthy Spot

Manager called me a few days ago apologizing about incident and offered to exchange the color of my bag (I did). I appreciate the follow up, although it came a little late. I will buy from this store again, but with caution and make sure I ask about final sales on big purchases.

This place is wonderful! So much to choose from and they seem to have all my pets needs. Their grooming service is also really great and well priced. They even have a vet that comes and a doggie day care. A one stop shop for all your pets needs

I have driven by many times and always wanted to go in, this evening I finally had the chance to do so and it was quite a wonderful experience. My 8 month old Staffordshire Puppy and I went in to browse and got a great deal on some treats as well as a gift for checking in, thanks for the doggy bags– I just ran out lol. Evie and I will be back!

Friendly staff, especially the grooming department. I take my dog there regularly for a cut and a bath. Just have to be specific on the services you want, to avoid over paying – small things can add up fast.
I really like this place-​overall it’s a good experience.

My dogs LOVE this place for grooming! And that is a shocker to me… they’ve hated grooming in the past! They look, smell and feel (no itchies) great every time they leave! It’s a bit pricey, but the grooming team is loving and my dogs literally run behind the counter here versus running away! They make me want to see what’s so pampering back there!

Thank you, Healthy Spot! Brought my brand new rescue Darwin here at 7 pm last night. I little frantic-I’ve never had a puppy before. Joe started with a treat for my dog, then walked me through the store explaining what I needed and why, how to take care of my dog, which brands he recommended, and why. He was so knowledgable and friendly-​I will definitely be going back for day care and other services. Shout out to Misty who was kind and helpful too!

I have used Healthy Spot Grooming two times now (same Weho location). Each visit, the staff has been helpful in determining which services best suit my pooch. The de-​shedding add-​on is fantastic and I’ve experienced great results following treatment.
My nine-​year-​old toy fox terrier, Baxter, is quite simply NOT a fan of bath time. Even at a small 10 pounds, he’s a fighter and is why I leave it to the professionals. On our visit today, Jackalyne was Baxter’s groomer and handled his high energy anxiety extremely well and professionally. When I picked Baxter up following his spa appointment today, the whole staff (including Jackalyne) was understanding and even suggested: 1) appropriate grooming times when the spa is less busy, and 2) a calming add-​on, which I plan to take into consideration on our next visit! Baxter will definitely be back again soon assuming he isn’t black listed after today’s visit.

Brought my pup here today to pick up some Orijen dog food and he had an appointment for a non anesthetic teeth cleaning from K9 Grillz. All the employees were really nice and helpful. After his teeth cleaning I asked about a nail trim and they were able to do that for us right away with no appointment. They also offer discounts on merchandise and grooming if you have a KCRW Fringe Benefits card. I usually go to the Santa Monica location because it’s closer to my house, but both stores are great! :)

Do not take your dog here if they are not comfortable with grooming.
I brought my dog in and they were unable to finish his haircut because he was too scared.
They still charged me full price for a job that they could not finish.

This review is for the grooming section. They are amazing! My little rescue was going to be Yoda for Halloween and they used vegetable dye to die her hair and matched it exactly to Yoda! She was a rockstar for Halloween! The staff is also so loving they love my dogs and know them by first name. I will post a picture of my little Yoda and Ewok. We were a Star Wars family for Halloween!

Great spot.
I take my pup here for grooming. The staff is very friendly and great with my little one. They always do a fabulous job.
They also have a ton of doggie products from healthy snacks to a variety of accessories. A perfect go to spot for all of a doggies needs.
I will definitely be back!

My review is specifically for the grooming services.
I foster dogs, and Inhyea is magic with cutting dogs hair, not to mention so kind to your animals. It took me several bad grooming experiences to finally get a recommendation to come here, and I have never looked back. Inhyea is very knowledgeable with breed standard hair cuts which I found to be impossible to find locally. My brussels griffon has come home from other groomers looking like a french mime and a silverlake mustached hipster. No joke. She always leaves Inhyea looking great and feeling awesome about herself.

Don’t assume the groomer knows exactly what you mean. Bring photos and a few notes to leave with your dog for the groomer.

This place is adorable! It’s clean, the employees are friendly and the healthy treats and cookies are adorable.

WOW GREAT STAFF!
They are so nice and super helpful. Unbiased opinion on what’s really best for your pet! Is that awesome or what?!
I found my 10 month old Labrador this leash that pulls him back when he yanks on me, and every since, he doesn’t tug when I take him on walks/​runs.
Love this place! I just wish it was closer to home.
Open in Pasadena please!

This is a review for their daycare service — I’ve never used their grooming and their store does have a wide selection of food and treats that looks fantastic.
I switched jobs recently so I was looking for a new daycare for my 6lb little dog (1 year old) and after reading all the reviews and seeing that they were cage free, I decided to visit this location and get my dog evaluated. My dog has been going to daycare since he was about 6 mos old so I’ve seen quite a few — and that has made me picky with what I’m looking for in a facility that I leave my dog at for 8 hours a day.
All the employees there were really friendly and prompt and good at communication. But, as a daycare facility, there’s definitely better in the area.
First off, the employee explained to me that part of the temperament test (along with the standard interaction with other dogs and humans) is putting your dog in a small kennel. I was a bit surprised, since I had been to many facilities and they had never required this, and asked why. The employee explained that if dogs get «too excited,» they’re placed in the kennel to calm down.
Now, if you have an older, calm dog that just wants to rest all day, this is the facility for you. But, if you have a younger dog that you take to daycare so he can get out his energy, the last thing you want to hear is that he is put in a kennel for getting «too excited.» And, I get it. The daycare area is really small (REALLY SMALL) so one excited dog would be disruptive. But, still, it’s disappointing that they deal with it by placing the dog in a cage — rather than calming the dog down through more caring techniques.
The other thing that disturbed me was when the employee told me that another part of the temperament test was making sure the employees were comfortable picking/​touching up the dog — and that the only time that would be happening is when they lifted the dog over the gate and into the play area. Now, I get that daycare employees can’t interact one-​on-​one with the dogs all the time but to tell me that the only time that they would be interacting with my dog is when they’re putting him in bothered me. Maybe I just have very high standards from other daycare facilities — but that is not what I was used to hearing.
I ended up cancelling the evaluation. At that point, the employee tried to tell me she could talk to her manager and that they had a list of dogs that wouldn’t be put in kennels ever and they could maybe put my dog on it — but at that point, I had already decided that this place wasn’t the right fit.

I misposted this on the wrong location. I just want to give credit where it is due!
«Only walked in here to wait for my Über and of course I bought something for my dog cause I can’t help myself. But that’s not why I’m writing this review. I’m writing to say that Alejandro is amazing at his job. He was very helpful and informative regarding dog foods. It was nice to get some insight on other brands and what they can offer. He suggested Primal and I have to say I may just switch. I’m excited to give it a try. I will be back as I can’t help buying toys for my dog to destroy. Thanks again, Alejandro!»
To give an update, I walked into the store today. Staff was friendly as can be and bought another toy.

Had so much fun at the LA Pride mixer at Healthy Spot last night. What a great group of people (and pups)! The staff is very friendly and very hands on, they know every dog and owner so well it seems as if they’re one big happy family. One Hope Wines provided wine for the event and some snacks from Trader Joes.

Had a Gilt City deal for $ 75 worth of grooming services… loved the way my little baby looked when I picked her up. She was adorable. But, she always is to me…
On the other hand, they don’t make their menu of services clear. I’m not sure I want a «stress reducing treatment» more than I want an anal gland expressing (and if you have a dog, you know what I mean). And there was a bit of a language barrier when I spoke to the groomer so I couldn’t be clear what I was getting.
Very tiny little parking lot in the back. In general, expect you won’t be able to park in the lot.
I liked the way my little princess looked when I picked her up, but honestly, I feel like I get a more complete grooming at PetCo in WeHo and absent another daily deal from Healthy Spot, this won’t be my «go to» grooming salon.

This is above and beyond the nicest pet supply and grooming space I’ve been to throughout the lives of all the pets I’ve owned in my life. Wow, that does sound quite the grandiose statement, but if you knew me you’d know that in my effort to save money (buying a home in LA really socks it to your wallet) it wouldn’t be weird for me to go to a hole in the wall restaurant or taco truck rather than a 5 star restaurant, and much like my food choices, it wouldn’t be odd for me to go to a budget pet supply place, like maybe something in a barn called cheap ass stuff for your dog or something along those lines.
So, I was typically buying my dog’s food and supplies at Petsmart. I did buy him the Blue Buffalo brand, which is at least not puppy chow or some other cardboard dog food. I was never happy with the Petsmart groomers, but I was ok with having my Maltese’s head look like a white speckled owl after grooming him, than paying more for an 8lb dog’s haircut than for my own hair.
After a unusually jarring grooming experience at Petsmart, I vowed never to return. I honestly picked up my dog and he looked so ridiculous I couldn’t even look at him. I smuggled him out in his doggy carrier and ran to the nearest CVS, bought scissors and re-​shaped his head into a less creepy shape. His head was cut to look about 10 times bigger than his head, but around his eyes was basically shaved so he looked crazy. I couldn’t bear the 10 minute ride back to by house or let him endure stares from the neighborhood dogs who would surely mock him.
I only came in for a nail trim for Dexter to check the place out first. It’s so clean, and there are so many employees, which is so nice. Most places you have to look around and beg for assistance. Not at the Healthy Spot. I didn’t make an appointment and they took him right away even though they had a bunch of dogs getting dropped off and in the process of being groomed.
I started to browse the store while I waited and was immediately approached by a sales lady, Misty, who couldn’t have been nicer, prettier, more knowledgeable, and helpful. She assisted me in getting an all-​natural flea and tick repellant for when we travel to the backwoods of Georgia next month and a solution to help with Maltese propensity towards tear stains.
Within 10 minutes max, one of the groomer’s brought my dog out all ready to go and Misty checked me out. In total I was there 15 minutes, with no appointment and with no clue what I was there to buy. In comparison, when I used to get a full groom, bath, haircut, and nail trim at Petsmart, I would drop him off and he wouldn’t be ready for 4 – 5 hours, which I NEVER understood. So they are obviously just mass booking dogs and throwing them in a cage for a few hours while they freak out and the groomer takes their sweet ass time.
The prices are not bad at all, the nails are $ 8 to trim or $ 12 to grind and the all natural flea and tick repellant was $ 25 (as compared to toxic Frontline, etc. which is way more) and the tear stain supply was only $ 15 as opposed to the $ 40 brand I ordered previously online.
I was initially nervous that the prices would be crazy but in comparison to Petsmart and Petco the prices were very good especially since you are getting a higher quality product. The Petco Unleashed near my house on Sunset is out of control over priced and the little dog store at the Farmer’s Market is ridiculously over priced, so I found Healthy Spot to be a deal. I will definitely be back for a full groom (maybe they can do my hair too) and to try out some new dog foods when he runs out.
My lesson, just because a place looks fancy i.e. not in a dilapidated building or a mass marketed chain mart, doesn’t mean it’s unaffordable. Also, I’ve included a photo of the owl that my dog resembled after the last grooming at Petsmart– NEVER AGAIN, you’ve seen the ‘Fourth Kind’, right!!! Insert chills here.
PLUS, Misty informed me you can donate the remaining change on your order to their charity of the month. She said 100% goes to the charity and that they typically raise $ 5,000 to donate to each charity. SO good of them.
P. S. There are about 3 parking spots in the back but I drove around the block a few times and they remained full, maybe they are employee spots, but there are several meters out front and on the side streets.
