Fido & Company

Yaaaass! My lil cupcake LOVES coming to Fido & Company. Lisa Ann, the groomer, makes her shine like Beyoncé. Hannah and the entire staff are loving and professional! This place is terrific.

Fido & Company took great care of my 10 yr old pug as a walk in and on last minute notice! They were very friendly, informative and took extra care of her. If you have a pug this is the place to go in particular! The owner has her own 10 yr old pug and is an pug advocate that does lots for the pug rescue community around San Diego. Highly recommended! A+

The lobby reception area is lovely, and caters to the taste of human owners. When I first stopped by, I was not allowed to see the boarding area. The second time, I brought my dog for a two-​hour «assessment» to board. Staff were thorough and kind. However, the boarding area was, to me, horrifying. The dogs are all together — big ones in one pen, small in an adjoining one. They eat in the pen, sleep in the pen, play in the pen, pee in the pen, and poop in the pen. They do not go outside or see the sun or get fresh air. Federal guidelines for research animals call for much more humane treatment and conditions than this. Regardless of how nice, or how well meaning the staff are I would never recommend this place.

We are long overdue for an updated review. Can’t believe that we have been clients for almost 4 years! Teddy and Tucker go for day care every other week, get professional grooming every other month and Lisa and her team babysit them (Toonses too!) when we travel. We have gotten to know Lisa personally over the last 4 years and are so happy to have her in our life.

This place is great! I bring Hank Williams here once a week to socialize and he loves it! They are very attentive, personable and caring. They just gave me a custom bottle of wine with my dog’s picture on it and label that read «Hank’s Reserve»! So thoughtful.
They also provide grooming services. They are very reliable, clean and well operated. I recommend this place highly!

I’ve had great experiences with this place. It’s the first experience I’ve ever had with grooming and boarding where my dog doesn’t plant his feet and try to avoid it at all costs. If he’s happy, I’m happy, and the staff truly love animals. Plus, there’s a dog store right across the street — super convenient, and parking is easy.

We like bringing our little Monkey here to Lisa Ann. The staff is courteous and very accommodating with our schedules.

I can’t say enough about Fido’s Canine Country Club. They have helped rear from puppy hood my two rescue dogs. I have had nothing less than 10 stars in all areas of services. My dogs have been adored, genuinely loved and cared meticulously. I think every owner feels that their dog is the favorite– and I think it is true! The owners and all staff are cheerful, warm, genuine and love what they do. I would like my dog to go to work and send me to childcare there! I mean it!
Ps. My office is next to a doggie day care but I go to Fido’s …
Actuallly TEN Stars!!!

The only place we like to take our fur baby. They do a perfect job. Only place we can trust!!!

I have been a member and loyal customer of Fido and Co for 7 years. My two yorkies, Coco and Louis have been going to Fido for grooming, daycare and boarding services. It’s really difficult finding a place where you are comfortable leaving your furry babies and I am so glad that I can count on Fido. The owners and the entire team, treat us like a part of their family. Thank you Fido and Co for always taking such great care of my Coco and Lou!

My dog Shelby loves Fido. We have been going for four months now and she is so relaxed when she comes home. She’s just a puppy so the exercise and play time is perfect for her.
I used to take my other two dogs, Ashley and Hunter there while they were still alive. I can tell you this, Karla and Lisa the owners are angles. They helped me as Ashley and Hunter faced their last days. They are devoted, caring and lovely women.
Fido is my go to place for my dogs… try them out for yourself.

The entire staff here «ROCKS» they go above and beyond to make sure Bamboo is taken care of. Lisa Ann has been taking care of Bamboo when he was 6 months old and to this day she never ever disappoints me. When we are at street fairs or a mall people always stop us and can’t say enough good things about his looks. We always brag about Fido and send as many dog there as possible. We live in Vista and have no problem making the drive it’s worth it. We are so thrilled with Karla and her staff of the love for dogs… You can’t ask for a better business ever… Thank you to all of you at Fido. We will see you soon…

Yes my four legged children have been coming to Fido and Company since they opened. Lisa Ann understands that my mini schnauzer Missy gets stressed every time she has her hair done. Lisa Ann has worked with her and treats her like she is her own.
My other little one Mikey is also a handful. Lisa Ann knows that both go everywhere together and she lets them have a bath together.
Thank you Fido and Company for treating us like family.

I had a last minute trip come up and HAD to board my dog. He had been boarded one other time in his life at a different place and I did not get a good feeling about leaving him there once I dropped him off; I suddenly pictured him in a crate with short walks around the tree outside the front door. You can imagine my hesitation when this trip came up. And while I normally take him with; this trip was out of the country and my dog is older now.
I called Fido & Co. and they were SO nice on the phone. They talked me through the entire process and put my mind at ease. I went in for a quick visit; took a tour and felt that he was going to be in the right place. They assured me that they don’t have a «one size fits all» approach to their care and would do whatever it took to make Wills feel as comfortable as possible during his stay.
When I picked Wills up he was literally smiling, happy, not stressed, and in good spirits. The entire staff is really fantastic and went out of their way to alleviate any stress I had prior about leaving him for such a long period of time. Thank you Fido &Co. for taking such good care of my little guy during what would’ve been an otherwise very stressful time for me.

We have been coming to Fido since they opened first with our pug ANGEL now with Rosie. The staff is the bomb… Karla and Lisa wonderful owners. Lisa Ann we love you being Rosie’s groomer she loves you so much. The entire staff treats us like family they are always so great, friendly, kind and accommadating to our needs and the handling of our dear Rosie. We love yoy guys we have sent all our friends to your business because we trust you with our family. Great great service.

I brought my Yorkie here for a grooming after being referred by friends and was very happy with the experience. Staff was very friendly, I was quoted 2hours for the service but they were done in a little over an hour and my pup looks great. The groomer took time to talk to me about how I wanted him groomed, then she took time again at the end to make sure the job she did was what I was hoping for. Great service — I’ll be back!

I am so so so grateful to Fido & Co. I am a new puppy mom, and as such i’m super neurotic and over protective, and i would have given myself a nervous breakdown countless times if it weren’t for the amazing folks at Fido & co! I bring my little pup to doggy daycare with them once a week, and it is such a relief to know that she is safe, happy and having a blast! When i drop her off she is so wiggly and excited, and when I pick her up she is exhausted and so happy… and anyone with a hyperactive dog will understand what a gift this is!
The folks at Fido have gone above and beyond every single time– answering my pet questions, giving me detailed updates when i call to check on her (did i mention how neurotic i am?), making arrangements for earlier than usual drop offs, and even giving us a report card from the pup’s first day! I would absolutely recommend Fido to any pet parents who are looking for a daycare!
Thank you Fido & co!

We just Love Karla and Lisa and the entire staff at Fido & Co.
And so does every little baby We bring to them.
They r very involved in Helping the rescues with finding their pets in need of homes.
U can certainly trust that your loved ones will get the best possible care and look great when they come home:)

I started researching overnight dog boarding facilities in San Diego. Let me tell you now: they are not all created equal. Many are cage-​free, and for a French bulldog, this is not the healthiest solution because they can overplay and get exhausted if they are staying there for a long time. My dog will not sleep and relax if other dogs are around him. He will just want to play constantly. Most doggy daycare tout «cagre-​free» as a perk, but to me, it is not ideal for my breed, who has breathing problems and other medical issues.
I checked out numerous places. The ones I looked at had rooms that were stacked on top of each other and super small like a kennel. Others only had outdoor play during the day and I wanted Bleu to stay indoors where it was temperature controlled. I called Fido and Company in Hillcrest and spoke with co-​owner Carla, who is also a vet technician. I instantly felt at ease with her. She understand my concerns and accommodated my dog as if he was her own. Bleu got his own private room and I got to bring his bed, toys, and food bowls with him for maximum comfort. He got to play with other doggies his size during the day, and the staff made sure to give him many «breaks» during the day so he would not overplay. They even posted a festive holiday pick on Facebook of him and his doggy friends that I could view while I was away.
The result? Bleu came home after 10 days a little neurotic from being away from his dog mom, but rested and happy and most importantly, healthy! It took him about three days to settle back into his routine at my condo, but we are back to little italy living and loving it. He does have suitcase-​a-​phobia now though. When I went to unpack, he started dry heaving. Apparently the mere sight of my suitcase makes his tummy rumble. I guess that’s what happens when your dog loves you that much.

We absolutely love Fido & co! They take such great are of my pug, Hank, he is always a happy clean pug after! It’s one of the few grooming/​daycare places I’ve taken him where he goes in happily, instead of running the other way!
Their facility is adorable, I feel they are reasonably priced, and offer truly excellent customer service. We’e been coming here for almost 2 years now and will certainly continue!
