Company Description

We are a fast growing, upscale, upbeat, healthy and earth friendly pet products and services store. As our company grows, we are always looking to add new members to our team.

We look for team members to grow with our company and are looking for individuals to stay with us long term. In that sense, our recruiting efforts are stringent to find the unique individual.

We realize our success is based on our team members. Without the individual personalities and quirks that shine in and out of the Healthy Spot atmosphere, Healthy Spot would not exist. As such, we love to promote from within and spend time and resources to foster each team member's growth. We are proud to see team members grow from entry level to manager positions and see them gain skills and confidence both professionally and personally!

Our Los Angeles stores make customers feel welcomed and at ease, and we are now expanding into our first Orange County store in Costa Mesa! We are committed to unleashing each family's passion for their dogs by offering the finest products and services, quality information and highest care while breeding social awareness of humane compassion and canine education for the community -- all for your dog's mind, body, and bowl.
