Muttley & Meowski

I’m totally confused by the name change though it is very cute. I only stopped taking my dogs there because they moved and the new location in West Los Angeles just takes small dogs.
I have been very happy with Londoloza for a couple of years now.
My dogs Rusty and Dani are both rescues and Pat and Ronn are so caring and wonderful as are the staff that I haven’t relocated the dogs. I just have them at home with me as I recently retired.
Londo/​Muttley/​Meowski are great for daycare, boarding, rescue placement, grooming and when my dogs have needed meds they are happy to give to them.
I can’t say enough good things about them and if they are able to take medium to big dogs in the future I would be thrilled to start taking the dogs to them again.

Despite the large facility, the folks at Londoloza Dog Den/​Muttley & Meowski are able to successfully cater to your pet’s needs. Stella’s a 2-​year old toy fox terrier that I rescued 6 months ago. She’s super sweet, very timid and slow to warm-​up to most dogs and people. Ronn, eased Stella through her angst and now Stella’s a happy camper. The staff is amazing, extremely patient and highly attentive. I’m so glad that I’ve found my «go to» doggy daycare destination.

So confused when did the name change happen? Dropped off my little maltipoo for a trim and bath. Picked him up with a bunch of cuts from the razor but didn’t mind too much since he usually gets them at other places too. I would appreciate if they would just inform me «hey he moves he got cut» instead of not even letting me know. Overall his cut was even and looked good. What will make me second guess bringing him back is the fleas he picked up here. So Gross!

Yet again! Happy Herd, spread the word! Trifecta: DIRTY, hyper, skin condition. We have been running all summer~ allergies, fresh fleas, and crazy dirty hyper pups. An overnight to run wild, thorough grooming & flea treat for all, and EXPERT care for our collective sensitive skin allergies, worsened by high desert fleas (super gross).
They Loved! Hanging w/​Ronn & the gang while I steam cleaned & reset the house for Fall, and all came home happy, comfortable, worn out, no cooties & beautiful. Even my Sr w/​severe flea allergy. Doesn’t get better that the L, Ronn and the amazing crew. (We now have to spell «Camp», the code for going to Londoloza, because everyone goes APE.
Thank You for all the love & getting the summer fun off all.
Happy Herd! SBJ & Derby have their backpack ready for Day Camp. Wasabi might even join em. Mug: Called Dibs on Lobby Greeter. (Syl is healing up ear cheese first.)
Huge Xs & Os~ Try them, your furkids will fall in Love.
(The most personalized stress free deep clean/​groom~ Paws down!)
For the review below that sucks: Get Your Dog On Flea Prevention! You seriously brought em anywhere this season w/​o flea treatment?!! That’s Flea Allergy & irritation!!!
That $ 59 for prevention is looking good right about now. Poor kid, suck vet. «Comfortis» year round!

Very bad experience here, I left my dog here for one week and upon picking him up noticed he was chewing at a spot on his fur non-​stop. When we got home I looked closer and found that he had a 4 inch red bald spot (picture included) that was being caused by some kind of rash or bacteria. I rushed him to the vet and he had to undergo major medication and have the spot shaved and to be placed in a cone for five days. (Picture included) The doctors say the kennel should have noticed this. They said this was caused most likely by unsanitary conditions. Honestly, that does not surprise me because while all dog kennels smell bad, this place is so over-​the-​top that you can barely breathe in the lobby. The included pictures were taken the same day I picked him up.

I just had the pleasure of meeting Ronn and touring this facility. What a great place and a great attitude. They devote a substantial effort to helping rescue agencies, which is admirable — giving back to the pet community is important. I salute you for your efforts!

Wow! I don’t even know where to begin. Absolutely amazing experience with Londoloza Dog Den. The owner Ronn, could not have been more kind, helpful, or generous with helping our brand new rescue dog Lola feel comfortable, and get used to her new environment. It’s clear that every dog or cat here is treated with as much love as if they were family, and that there is a genuine love and respect for animals. It’s not just a business here. I also really appreciate the fact that they get to know dogs and ask some really good questions before accepting a new pet. It gave me added piece of mind that they knew the personaiities of these dogs and who would be best suited to play with whichever group. Their prices are very reasonable, considering the super high level of care each animal receives. (And thank God, because I was not expecting to need an extra 10 – 12 days of doggy daycare with my new dog). I feel like I could go on and on, but the bottom line is this. If you re blessed enough to have Londolozo doggy den even remotely close to you, and you have a pet you love that needs daycare or boarding, just do it. It is quite possibly the best daycare on the planet, and your own mother probably couldn’t take better care of your pets. My only wish is that they had another location because we are moving 45 mintes away in a month. However we will be sure to use them still any time possible, and definitely any time we go out of town. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Best daycare ever… Did I mention I love this place? :)

How grateful we are for the Londoloza Boarding facility, and how lucky we are to have owners, Patricia and Ronn, along with their staff, care for our formally feral kitty, Zelda, over the past 3 years. Found in our Alabama front yard almost 4 years ago, Zelda was separated from her «cat family» at such a tiny age and size, so she immediately joined our «human family’s» caravan of relocations from the Deep South to Southern California, with a semester of college dorm living in between!
The three of us were just stubborn enough to see Zelda thru every relocation, learning along the way that daily medication was one of the answers to help her overcome her feral tendencies and to find safety indoors within smaller confined spaces. So as our family of three became four, Zelda found herself adjusting to condo life in LA, too! However, our need for intermittent boarding services would surely complicate Zelda’s progress by introducing another evolving environment, but Londoloza proved to be our «saving grace!»
From the beginning, Pat was always encouraging, welcoming, and willing to turn Zelda into a winner, and like our family, she was just stubborn enough to accommodate Zelda’s less than calm demeanor! Her husband, Ronn, stepped in and followed up consistently with his «cat whispering know how» to patiently transition Zelda’s «Royal Highness» attitude into one of trust for the ever-​evolving cats in her Londoloza boarding environment… she eventually learned how to Meow from hearing and imitating the other cats at Londaloza!
The Londoloza staff has always been so responsive and very caring whenever we need their help, even offering to go the «extra mile» when one of our return flights was unexpectedly delayed. They have also been reliable in providing services and in administering daily medication to Zelda. As a result, Zelda is a frequent and often extended-​stay client. What used to be the dreaded «fight to the finish,» Zelda now transitions into her cat carrier effortlessly and takes her medicine with ease thanks to the attention she has received from the Londoloza «duo» and their support team. In the end, Zelda consistently returns from her «home away from home,» Londoloza, all calm and clean!
Bless y’all!

The best!!! Do everything to accommodate the animals and the clients. Boarding, grooming, you can’t do much better anywhere. I Highly recommend.

I am so lucky to find this amazing home away from home for doggies and cats. I first found myself inside the word of Londoloza. I have referred my friends who ocassionally need to board their dogs dogs and my dog loves it there. — i find the staff warm and friendly and everyone very co-​operative and helpful. And most important the owners Ron and Patricia really do love the animals in their care. And everyone has a lot of fun there.

I’ve been sending my dog here for the last two years. I have nothing negative to say. This is a business run by a family that really cares for and loves dogs. My dog always gets excited as we walk in and is always tired when we leave. What more could I ask for???

Ron was nice and able to make a grooming appointment on short notice. He was accommodating to my dogs grooming needs. Reasonable pricing to.

My husband and I were originally sent to Londoloza by a rescue who was boarding some of its dogs there. The owners of the place were so friendly to us and showed us around, introducing us to dogs that were available for adoption and showing us their facilities. The owners’ love for animals was immediately apparent and we appreciated their desire to help rescues place dogs with the right homes. This is an amazing display of the owners’ passion for animals, since once the rescues are placed, Londoloza no longer get money for boarding. Anyway, we eventually fell in love with one rescue pup who we ended up adopting and of course, he still comes to Londoloza for day care. We can’t recommend Londoloza enough for day care and boarding and we are forever indebted to them for introducing us to our angel.

Life Saver!!! Each time I’m in a bind when going on vacation, I can always count on Londoloza to take my special needs dog. He’s not very social with other dogs but somehow they have socialized him with dogs there. He seriously gets depressed for days after leaving this place.
You can’t beat the rates compared to other dog boarding services. I would recommend this only to my best friend just to keep it a secret.

Thank goodness for Londoloza! I’ve been bringing my dog Penny there for daycare for the last week or so. I rescued Penny several months ago and while she is very sweet and friendly, she has separation anxiety. At the moment, it isn’t an option for me to leave her at home when I go to work. Since she prefers to be around people, she’ll jump out of pens/​over fences while at daycare. Londoloza has been so great at working with her and trying to give her as much play time with the other dogs as possible before she jumps out of the pen. I can tell they get to know each dogs personality and make sure they put them in the right environment.
Penny loves Ron and SO HAPPY when I pick her up in the evening. He always tells me about how she behaved throughout the day which is really nice. Ron is fantastic, but also every staff member I’ve interacted with has been so nice. I will definitely continue to take Penny for daycare.

This place is amazing! I just picked up my bulldog from being boarded for a week. She had an amazing time and is now sad because she is home haha.
The staff is absolutely amazing as well. The manager and all of the staff is friendly, courteous, and professional. Their prices are great as well! Londaloza is clean, safe, and well built to handle anything your pet might need. They even have a huge cat wheel in the cat room.
I used to use The Pet Resort in the valley. Never again. I will only come here from now on for doggy day care and boarding.
Give them a try. I guarantee you will be happy with Londaloza… I am!

This is part 2 of my review. For part 1, read the prior review. This is my rebuttal of the owner’s letter to me:
1. You stated that we left a 3^rd dose in case we couldn’t get there by 5:30. We knew we weren’t going to be there by 5:30 pm to get her but still said «don’t worry about giving the 3^rd dose– we’ll take care of it.»
2. You also mention that you rely on us to describe potential warning signs. We did describe potential warning signs to your husband, stating that she may cough or wheeze but if it gets persistent, then there’s a problem.
3. If you check Samantha’s records, you may notice that she has stayed overnight with you before, in May of 2013. She stayed with you for 3 nights. I understand that this was awhile ago, but she has stayed with you before.
4. You also later state that Samantha, seldom, if ever boards overnight. She is actually quite familiar with boarding overnight. She’s stayed at other kennels before and had dog sitters stay with her for more than 2 weeks. I’ve had Samantha for nearly 11 years and she has never had a problem being away from us or with boarding at a facility or staying at someone else’s house. She has never, ever been reported as being stressed or upset.
5. I should also state for the record that Samantha is, at the most, 15 years old (she’s a rescue so it’s hard to know for sure. Our vet believes she is between 14 – 15). I remember having a conversation with you one night when picking up Samantha from daycare about your 17 year old dog and mentioning to you that she was only 15.
6. During the 3 days Samantha stayed at Londoloza for daycare, I was told each time when I picked her up that she had a great time, that she played all day. This is different from the description you gave me in you email that she «slept a lot, walked up and down to stretch her legs, and would curl up for another nap.»
7. I was there with my husband when he spoke to you on the phone that night. We were still in the waiting room, waiting to find out how she was doing. We were both scared and didn’t know what to say at that point. There was no mention of an oxygen tank or anything like that at that point because we were still waiting to find out her status.
8. When we came back to Londoloza later that night to pick up Sam’s bed, we informed your husband that she was in an oxygen tank and that her heart went in to failure. We told him we wouldn’t know if she was going to pull through until the next day. Perhaps he did not mention it to you and that is why you continued to believe it was just «a stress episode.»
9. You mentioned that Samantha has «had similar life threatening episodes before,» but I can assure you that nothing like this has ever, ever happened. The worst that she’s ever had is a persistent cough and that was right before they diagnosed her. I can back this up with all of her medical records, showing that nothing of this magnitude has ever occurred before. I can actually also show that a month prior to staying at your business, that she was completely stable and doing well while on medication and it is on record that not receiving her medications is a very likely possibility for this episode.
Now for my two biggest questions:
1. If you keep all of the medications in a special med box, then how did her pill box end up at the bottom of a bag, marked for another dog, filled with another dog’s toys and bowls. I’m sure you can understand how this would lead us to speculate that another dog received Samantha’s pills.
2. If you had a child in your daycare and you noticed that the child was having severely labored breathing and was unresponsive to her name, you would immediately call 911 and the child’s parents, even if you knew that they were on their way. You certainly wouldn’t wait until the parents arrived, letting the condition worsen. My phone shows that I called Londoloza and left a voicemail at 8:01pm, letting them know we were on the way. If she was discovered to have this condition shortly thereafter, and we arrived around 8:30pm, that’s at least half an hour that she spent in pain, her lungs filling up with fluid and her heart failing. Regardless of whether she received her medications or not, it’s possible that getting her to a doctor earlier would’ve prevented her from getting as ill as she did. Perhaps this is beyond the «scope» of your night shift worker’s duties? The bottom line is that you should have, at the very least, called us immediately to let us know that she was unable to breathe properly. For this, we hold you responsible.
As I mentioned, We won’t be pursuing legal action because I don’t have time in my life to deal with it but please be aware that if you leave your pet here and something goes wrong (especially after-​hours), your pet will not be in the best of hands.

I never leave Unilocal reviews because I hate what Unilocal has become (a bunch of people who think they are real critics) but I have to give credit where due
I left my dog Cooper here for 4 nights and I couldn’t be happier. The staff was so nice, especially Ruben he was awesome even showed me around which made me feel more comfortable about leaving my dog, which I was nervous because he is like my baby and I don’t just trust anyone with him.
When I picked Cooper up he came running out happy as can be!
I will definitely use this place again!
Thanks guys!!!

Londo is a wonderful place and Pat and Ron are THE BEST. I had my 2 dogs here on an extended stay. They loved it. The staff are helpful, friendly and courteous. Love the big dog play area and the fact that the small dogs have their own run. Thank you Pat and bless you

Londoloza is a wonderful place of fun for my dog. He went from being a drooling nervous mess when he got in my car, to excited and happy because he knows he is going to Dog Camp. I travel quite a bit for my work, and normally walk my dog twice a day for at least a couple of miles on the beach to work him out. Londoloza lets him play with dogs all day, and beds him down safely at night.
I have boarded my 2 yr old cocker spaniel at least 10 times over the past three years at Londoloza, for 2 days to up to 10 days, and he absolutely love it. Everyone at Londoloza loves animals and it shows. The owners are incredibly kind and go out of their way to help make my travel convenient. They let me ring the bell at 7:30 on a Sunday morning to drop off my dog with nary a complaint. They create a wonderful safe environment for my dog and I get him back tired and happy and smelling good from his bath every time. I recommend this place for everyone.
