BELONGING CHANGES EVERYTHING

The Dog Social Club.

DEN is a subscription-based daycare built around regular attendance. Dogs come to DEN on a consistent schedule of two or more days each week, giving them the time and repetition to build real friendships, become comfortable with their pack and our team, grow in confidence and settle into a healthy rhythm. Familiar dogs, familiar people and a predictable routine create a more connected social experience—and a stronger sense of belonging. New social-club families begin with a Meet & Greet.

THE DEN DIFFERENCE

Care you can feel.

We believe dogs respond to more than schedules and commands. They respond to presence, touch, energy, environment and the emotional tone around them.

That is why wellness at DEN is not a separate idea. It runs through how we greet a dog, how we guide a group, how we create rest, how we groom, and how we help a dog return to balance.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Well-being. Holistic care. Space to reset.

◯

Well-being

An urban retreat created to support dogs and their people in living with greater health, connection and quality of life.

✧

Holistic

We look at the whole dog and bring together thoughtful care, experienced professionals and natural approaches to balance.

❋

Reset

Movement matters. So does stillness. Our dogs have opportunities for nature, enrichment, cooldowns, rest and individual care.

WHY DEN

More than a place to spend the day.

DEN is a 13,000 sq. ft. dog social club, wellness retreat and mindful dog boutique in Northeast Los Angeles, near Highland Park, built around consistent relationships, structured socialization, movement, nature, rest, learning and individualized care. Daycare starts at $45/day depending on package or membership. A Meet & Greet is required before daycare, boarding and training; grooming can be booked without one.

Social Club

Regular attendance helps dogs build friendships, confidence and routine. DEN combines supervised social time with rest, enrichment and human attention rather than treating daycare as one continuous play session.

Whole-Dog Care

Daycare, overnights, grooming, training, Pack Hikes, enrichment, shuttle and wellness experiences can work together around the needs of the individual dog.

15+ Years of Experience

Founded by Lindsay Velez and Victorious Solomon, our story began with Eastside Hounds’ mobile dog adventures in 2009 and grew into DEN’s welcoming Northeast Los Angeles wellness campus.

A retreat in the city. A community around dogs.
