History

Established in 1989.

One day while walking down the street, Sam stopped in a tiny «hole» in the wall” pet shop to buy treats for his pups. He overheard the gentlemen behind the counter talking about selling their shop and moving to Palm Springs. Without a beat, Sam walked up to the owners and said, «I’ll buy it!”*

More than 20 years later, our legacy of experience and knowledge in pet care makes us the longest running facility in the San Fernando Valley.

In 2010, Sam’s Green Paw, formerly Sam’s Play it to the Bone, rebranded itself and expanded to more accurately reflect its new vision: To provide leadership in delivering high-​quality pet care for our community, in a way that’s healthy for pets and good for Earth.

As the business moves forward into the new millennium, Sam believes future success will rely on us being better guardians of our natural resources. For this reason, he is determined for Sam’s Green Paw to make its mark on this beautiful planet of ours, one paw print at a time

Meet the Business Owner

Sam M.

Business Owner

Sam was born into a traditional Italian family in a small town in Northern California. Strong family relationships and a «small town» mindset were values instilled in him as a youngster.

After graduating from Fresno State, Sam ventured to Los Angeles to try his hand as an advisor in a prosperous financial firm. Although he was successful at his job, he felt like something was missing. It didn’t take long for Sam to realize that caring for pets with an old fashioned, small town mindset brought to the big city was that «something» that was missing in his life

For more than 20 years, Sam’s passion for pets, strong relationships with his customers, and «family unity» among his staff have been the cornerstone of his success. He takes his responsibility very seriously, and loves every pet as if they were his own. Because he has such a wonderful connection with animals, customers feel comfortable leaving their beloved family members with him.
