Questions about Fitdog in Santa Monica
Clear answers before you book daycare, boarding, training, grooming, outings, or taxi.
How do I choose the right Fitdog service for my dog?
Start with what your dog needs most — daytime play, overnight care, grooming, skills, or enrichment outings. Book a daycare assessment for club services, or a training consultation if you’re exploring training, sports, or structured outings. Our Santa Monica team can help you decide.
Does my dog need an assessment before daycare in Santa Monica?
Yes. New daycare dogs complete a tour and assessment so our team can evaluate play style, comfort, and fit before regular attendance.
How do I request boarding?
Review overnight options on our boarding page, then contact Fitdog or request boarding through the Why Fitdog page so we can check availability for your dates.
How do I book a training consultation?
Use Book Training Consult to open Fitdog’s training consultation flow. You’ll discuss goals and which training path fits your dog.
How do I discuss sports and enrichment outings?
Use the Sports & Enrichment Outing consultation button to schedule through the same training-consultation destination Fitdog uses for training consults. The conversation helps the team learn about your dog and recommend the most appropriate outing or enrichment option. Clicking does not by itself book a specific outing date.
Does Fitdog offer pickup and drop-off in Santa Monica?
Yes — Fitdog Taxi supports pickup and drop-off for eligible services. Service area includes Santa Monica and approved surrounding communities. Contact us to confirm your neighborhood.
How do I book grooming?
Visit our grooming page or use Book Grooming to start a request. Share coat type, preferences, and any handling notes so we can schedule appropriately.
What should I share before my dog’s first visit?
Vaccination records, feeding and medication notes, temperament around other dogs, and any training goals. For daycare, the assessment is the main first step.
