Dog House Studio City is a great neighborhood dog shop without snobby attitude. Low key, friendly, and affordable.
They sell food, treats, leashes, harnesses, and other pet supplies in a small area in the front of their shop (enter the shop from the rear parking lot, not from Moorpark). They have a roomy doggie day care area and a grooming salon.
I took my pug today for a two-hour evaluation for day care. The owners ensure that all dog owners supply vaccination records and have you complete a detailed set of forms about your dog. Justine at the front desk was extremely nice. Ryan, looking after the doggies in day care, listened to me and made sure that my pug didn't overheat (he gets worked up when exercising and needs to cool down a little). Ryan reported that my pug, Roscoe, played with a corgi named Winston and a Frenchie named Blanche. He seemed to have no separation anxiety, and he appeared very happy when I picked him up -- he even pulled towards to playroom door, so I got the sense he could've hung out longer than two hours.
The cost is reasonable: $14 for the first two hours, then $9 for each additional hour, capping at $34, which then allows you a full day. Very good rates!
Dog House is clean, well air conditioned, roomy, and with trustworthy people watching over the dogs at all times. It's a great place for your dog to have some socializing and play.
I haven't tried their grooming, so I can't speak to it, but I'll be bringing Roscoe back for regular playtime!
