Kennel Club LAX

Kennel Club LAX is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 5325 W 102nd St in Los Angeles, caring for dogs and cats. The property covers 12,000 sq. ft. indoors, with another 12,000 sq. ft. of outdoor play yards. Guests move between climate-controlled rooms and open air through the day, and staff are on site around the clock.

What they offer

Stays range from a single day of daycare to longer lodging, and grooming is available alongside either one.

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats, including private suites
• Daycare with indoor play space and outdoor yards
• Grooming, including a therapeutic bathing system
• Medication administration and special diet handling
• Pickup and drop-off service

What makes the lodging different

Rooms come in more than one style. Fourteen themed cottages are decorated after Paris, Italy, Las Vegas and Texas, and each one has a private flat screen TV. Dogs who do better with company can book Group VIP lodging, which includes 24-hour human and dog companionship rather than a room alone.

Cats board in a separate area with calming music, so they are not listening to the dog runs all day. That side of the facility has a kitty playground and luxury window condos.

Rates, hours, and booking

The facility is open 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM seven days a week, including weekends. Published nightly rates run from $38 to $98, depending on the animal and the type of accommodation. Booking is handled by phone at (310) 338-9166, and the same number covers questions about pickup and drop-off.

Vaccinations are required for every guest, so owners should have current records on hand before a first stay. Owners whose dogs need daily pills, insulin, or a specific diet can arrange that as part of the stay. The kennel also lists itself under traditional boarding, luxury boarding, daycare, and cat boarding, which is a fair summary of what a Los Angeles owner can book there.
