Laurel Canyon Dog Park
This A-List park, nestled in a scenic West Hollywood canyon, is the perfect spot for your pooch to cut loose. Made famous in a recent episode of HBO's Entourage, one can expect lots of doggie play and great people watching too.
The energy level here is HIGH and at certain times of day the sheer number of dogs can be downright overwhelming to the uninitiated. The pooches chase balls, wrestle with each other and will surely get enough exercise to tire them out for the rest of the day.
Check out all the fun for yourself by clicking on the clip below:

100% Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags
One of our goals at The Zen Pooch is to utilize products that not only benefit our pooches, but also help sustain the Earth.
We are proud to let you know that we exclusively use Certified 100% Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags from BioBag.
These are the ONLY poop bags that meet California law for biodegradable AND compostable products. You can even place them in the Green bins with other yard waste.
The following is some info from their website:
Our goal is to help divert all naturally biodegradable waste from entering our landfills. This includes food waste, yard waste, paper waste and pet waste. If any of these items are placed in an anaerobic (air-locked) landfill, their natural ability to biodegrade can be severely diminished.
The best solution for disposal of pet waste has always been to separate it from the bag or paper and flush it down the toilet. Using BioBags extends your options. The waste and the bag can be thrown in your backyard compost, where both items can decompose naturally; the waste and bag can be buried, where micro-organisms will quickly eat both; the waste and bag can be set at curbside with other yard waste where communities collect biodegradable waste for composting. Please check with your community for disposal options.
This is what biodegradable waste separation is all about. We thank you for being concerned, responsible pet owners.

FDA Pet Food Recall - May Cause Kidney Failure
Clients & Friends -
I was watching the news the other evening when they reported on a nation-wide pet food recall. I then went to the NBC website where I found the following article. At the end of it there is a link to the FDA press release with more specific information.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the recall and I will do my best to help.
Scott
Company Recalls 60 Million Cans Of Pet Food
About 10 Animals Have Died
A major manufacturer of dog and cat food is recalling 60 million containers of wet food.Menu Foods said it has received reports of dogs and cats suffering kidney failure after eating the food. About 10 animals died.
Menu Foods supplies store brands to Wal-Mart, Safeway, Kroger, PetSmart and other retailers. The recall covers its "cuts and gravy-style" food sold between early December and March. The food comes in cans and small foil pouches. It consists of chunks of meat in gravy.
The company said it is not sure what happened and product testing hasn't revealed a link that would explain the illnesses and deaths.
NBC affiliate KNBC obtained the following list of wet foods being taken off shelves due to the recall:

Let the People Speak
“One difference between Scott and other walkers is that he makes time upfront to take detailed notes on the dog’s behaviors and habits. Therefore, he is highly aware of any issues that could possibly arise. I always feel my dogs are safe, my home is safe, and that my girls are happy after having been with him. Scott is one of the most professional, trustworthy and dependable people I know. I believe any pet owner who is obsessed about their animals as I am, will be quite pleased with The Zen Pooch.”
- Jami R., Client & Rescue Volunteer
“The Zen Pooch does a fabulous job looking after our two basset hounds when we travel. Scott has proven to be reliable and trustworthy. I especially appreciate his frequent updates and photo texts. Little touches – like a thank you note complete with our own dog’s picture – are indicative of the warm, personal treatment we’ve gotten from The Zen Pooch.”
- Greg L., Client
“I have known Scott for 5 years, both personally and professionally. Scott is a very caring individual and I have witnessed his passion for animals first hand. The unique services offered by The Zen Pooch are a perfect fit for my clientele. I look forward to proudly recommending Scott and his company.”
- Jackie K, Beverly Hills Real Estate Agent
