A Dog's Life: Los Angeles Edition
While some people think pets are the ultimate accessory, they're actually the ultimate responsibility. Caring for a pup is sort of like having a baby: you have to feed it, play with it, take it for walks, get it vaccinated, clean up its pooh... So to help you better care for your pooch, here are some parks, stores, bakeries, and groomers that will have your dog slobbering with joy.
There aren’t any babies to be found at this boutique but there are many adorable puppies! There are also accessories and whatnot, but who really cares about those when there are puppies to be played with! WARNING: These pooches are expensive and you will get attached, so don’t say we didn’t warn you when you spend 2k on a Teacup Yorkie.

Runyon Canyon
2000 North Fuller Ave Los Angeles , CA 90046
Dogs aren’t meant to be holed up in tiny Hollywood apartments they’re meant to run free! But if you’re a ways off from getting that 4 acre estate, Runyon is the next best thing for your pooch. They can run around like maniacs at this off-leash dog park, where there’s tons of dirt trails for your dog to sniff.
We’re sure this little guy has a pair of eyes somewhere under there…
If you can stand leaving your pup alone (and you can’t stand that he leaves “presents” in your shoes while you’re gone) then get him to this day care facility. Your pup will get all cleaned up at this doggie spa where he can indulge in aromatherapy grooming, “Pawicures,” and teeth cleaning. The pup can also take a class in manners. How posh.

Sparky's Pet Salon
9221 W Olympic Blvd Los Angeles , CA 90035
Nobody likes a smelly, messy dog, so every once in a while you gotta take your dog to the groomer where he/she can get all pretty. Sparky’s is a fancy joint (which you can probably deduce from it’s “salon” title), so if you like to treat your Maltese like she’s a princess (dogs who stay more than 4 hours are treated to “bottled water”) then get thee to Sparky’s.
If you and your dog are tree huggers (your dog probably likes to do something else to trees, but we won’t talk about that now), then Eco-Pet is an excellent resource for pet essentials that are also environmentally friendly.
