About

Downtown Dogs operates two locations in San Jose and Palo Alto, offering dog daycare, boarding, and enrichment services since 1998. The facility requires new boarding clients to attend daycare first to ensure temperament compatibility and comfort. Services include structured play, agility, nosework, and spa treatments like bathing and nail trims.
