He was friendly and answered all of my questions. I emailed to make my reservation and sent over my pup's vaccination records. Pick up and drop off was a breeze. I appreciated how there is a lot of outdoor space for the dogs to play and run around. And the dogs are brought indoors to sleep. Armando was very accommodating with my dog's food as he has a sensitive tummy. My dog enjoyed his stay very much. It's very close to LAX and the rates are extremely reasonable. We'll be back! Thank you Glen and Armando!

I walk by this place often, and almost every time I hear dogs crying or whining inside. It's really…read moreconcerning and heartbreaking to hear. I don't know what is happening behind the scenes, so I can't make any claims, but I hope the owners take better care of the animals and that the appropriate authorities ensure their well-being. If you're an animal lover, I encourage you to pay attention and make your own observations.

We all know accidents happen and dogs are like children in that they get hurt by simply playing…read morewith one another. The question is, if something were to happen to your beloved dog - or in my case, fur-child - would you trust that Howie's aka Tony Morales would do the right thing? Long story short, we moved from NYC to LA (during the height of the pandemic). While I was diligent to do my research I found Howie's enrollment/temperament test to be similar to other daycares we've been to, so I knew my pup would pass with flying colors. Upon arriving to the facility, sure, the facility where the dogs actually stay can use an update/freshness, but still, I wanted to give them a chance as small business owners. You know when they say listen to your gut? I should have! I waited upfront until the end of the "test" and then Tony called me back to check him out. I was surprised that my dog was not running around playing actually, none of the dogs were. They were all crowding around a corner and when I looked over the fence, my pup was up against the fence looking at me like "get me out of here". But still I was like, well we just got off a plane (literally) and it's an all new environment. Next day, Tony picks up my pup from the hotel in a shabby van with old rusted crates, again, another flag. Later that day, I called to check in on my pup and Tony reassured me he was doing great and was being given a few timeouts to rest which I was relieved to hear. At the end of the day, which was at closing, I went to pick up my pup and make a reservation for the next two days. When my pup came out from back he was excited to see me but we all notice a large glob of shiny slobber on his head...so we thought. Tony even apologized for not cleaning him up and I was like, it's ok, they are dogs, they get dirty. I go to pet him on the head and my pup winces and doges my hand...weird. Once I get him back to the hotel, we both eat and settle down on the sofa to relax. While I start to wipe him down that's when I notice it. The glob of slobber was actually a glob of blood. He had a large gash on this head where the hairs were embedded into the wound. I quickly ran to CVS to get a first aid kit and clean up the wound. I also called and texted Tony to alert him. Tony texted and called the next day to apologized and he assured me that this rarely happens but that he would take responsibility and directed me to the closes vet in the area. I asked him how did no one see that my dog had been injured?? Aren't you watching the dogs at all times?? He said, you can watch dogs all day and they still get hurt....but no they don't watch them the entire time...WHAT? This is where I made the mistake not to check/ask how they supervise the dogs in their care. What comes next is texts and phone calls over the course of the last few months...this happened in November 2020 and it's now April 2021 and still Tony has been dodging my emails/phone calls and NOT taking responsibility...as he said he would or as he put it "he wasn't going to f**k me over". The first excuse was that his daughter had been beaten up and was in the hospital. He said that his problem was way more important than my problem so I would have to wait. Ok fine. I extended my sympathy, and I would follow up again. After a few more calls/emails, a few weeks later he said there was a check waiting in his office for 100$ bucks. I reminded him that I sent the vet bill and it was for 201. He said, oh send me the bill again and I'll mail you the check. More weeks go by and no check. I call him again. I email again, and text him again. Nothing. In March, I sent the final email saying please pay the vet bill or I would follow up with legal action. He finally returns my email and says that the vet bill doesn't look right and that he would call the vet and have the vet provide the right bill...uhm sorry what? I called the vet and they assured me that they would not and could not share private medical/personal information like that. Did I mention I literally forwarded the email from the Vet's office with the bill.... So here we are months later, and nothing. I know it's cliché to say it's not about the money, and it's not. It was about Tony doing the right thing. So I say again, if something were to happen to your dog would you trust that Tony would do the right thing? Would you take a chance that your family pet/ a member of your family, would be safe here? Or do you get what I got? An injured pet that now winces anytime you pet his head....so what did really happen to my pup? Was he hit? Is the facility even safe? So caution...

The old reviews here are ridiculous. Howie's is a fantastic doggy daycare. After my doggo "failed"…read morethe temperament tests at two other daycares because she "kept trying to play with dogs who didn't want to play", we went to Howie's. Having much more reasonable standards, they admitted her. I was a bit nervous about her first day and half-expecting her to get kicked out for being troublesome..but no! My dog fit in perfectly at Howie's and made friends right away. Just by being around the other dogs, she is able to learn how to socialize better--and this is what my dog always needed! Previously, she kept getting kicked out of daycares but truthfully she just needed more daycare experience to mature. Thanks to Howie's, she was given that experience and is now growing into a polite and friendly angel. Please give Howie's a shot. Especially if you've tried other daycares in the South Bay and didn't care for how they take themselves a little too seriously. I hope one day they set up a couple cameras with streams for us to watch the doggos play!

Julia at the front desk is so patient, kind, and friendly. She loves animals, and you can tell! When I called her on Saturday, 05/16/26, I had already called some grooomer in the santa mon ica area, and they were all booked for the day and didn't offer walk-ins. Luckily, Julia found a lot of time alot for my pup for 1:30. She was able to open a profile for me while I was on the phone with her, and the check-in was smooth and easy. My pup Toto was ready in about 1.5 hours and looked and smelled wonderful. He had a wash, nail clipping, teeth cleaning, and ear cleaning. Parking: Free parking in this little strip mall, and meter parking nearby. Pro Tip: There is a nail salon just 2 doors down, where you can get your nails done while waiting for your pup!

We asked for a puppy cut, and I was apprehensive at first, however, everyone delivered. Biscuit came out a different dog! I genuinely couldn't believe how unbelievably cute her new look came out!

First time around I sent my dog and my sister-in-laws dog with a friend. He did us the favor of dropping them off and picking them up. He paid cash upon pick up and it was recorded on camera (thank God) because the lady up front was harassing us the following week for payment THAT WAS ALREADY MADE. We had to have the owner review the cameras. Of course, he can see clearly see where the cash was handed to the receptionist so he had us come back for a complimentary bath. This is why we had a false sense of trust in them again and booked a third shower. Now this is where our second bad encounter comes in. It was a warm day and the lady at the front desk kept our Frenchie in the hot back area to the point that our dog had a heat stroke she didn't survive. This b**ch is out here killing animals out of ambition. She literally confessed to seeing warning signs of our dog's distress, but continued with the service to not return the money we paid up front! Oh and IT DOESNT END THERE! She must be so unorganized that now she's harassing for payment that was made AGAIN. Wtf is wrong with these people? I paid, my dog died, and they're still harassing us!!! Do not trust them with your pets! I will be writing this same message to PETA. This business is not run ethically and I'm sure it's not run legally.
