Your dog is a guest of honor at Alcala.

Alcala Pet Care strives to give your dog the most comfortable, enjoyable, and playful vacation while you are away. Alcala's unique design offers your dogs more personal attention, interaction with other dogs, and larger areas to run and play.

Dogs and their owners come from all over Southern California for our attention to detail, impeccable cleanliness, world-class grooming, and the most experienced staff in San Diego.

Your dog will enjoy warm meals at Alcala. We prepare a special recipe of chicken, rice, and kibble for our guests.

Your dogs will enjoy three separate areas:

• Individual large runs
• Heated or air-conditioned sleeping rooms
• Large, outdoor play yard

Our unique care gives your dog much more attention than the standard in/out or single room kennel. Please enjoy our photo gallery before you leave.We have included many photographs of our kennel and its guests.

Alcala Pet Care charges by the calendar day

Alcala's boarding prices a different than most places. Jim Lockwood started this in the late 1970's because he felt it was more important to send dogs home clean than to worry about a check in/out time schedule. On the day you pick up your pet we will give them a bath. We charge for the bath instead of a day's boarding. Typically, the bath is only $5 more than a daily boarding. If you refuse the bath, we will charge for that last day's boarding charge.

This also means there is NO check-out or check-in time. We ask that you pick up your dogs after 12, but the price is the same regardless of the time you visit Alcala during our normal business hours. We realize this can be confusing at first. Please ask us for an estimate before you drop off your pets if you are concerned.

There is an additional charge for dogs with long hair or matted coats.

Baths include: Nail Trimming, Shampoo, Conditioner, full brush out, and ears cleaned if necessary. We use natural, detergent-free Tropiclean Shampoos and Conditioners.

TLC, Special Care, and Play Time

Dogs love to run and play in our secure 1/2 acre Play Pals Park. There's enough room for even groups of greyhounds to stretch their legs. Our TLC playtime sessions give your dog the extra personal attention and playtime that make a vacation one to remember.

Group play is available for the social dogs and individual walks can be reserved for those that prefer to see the area.

Little Buddy Playground

While the big dogs love to stretch their legs in our large park, some of our smaller guests prefer a more intimate surrounding. Alcala has just added a new park, the Little Buddy Playground. This new yard is perfect for the toys and older dogs that prefer hands-on, individual attention. Ask for it today.

TLC (Play Time)

Playtime in our large park is $5.00 each session or $7 for 2X daily. TLC for two dogs (same family) is $7.00 or $9 for 2X daily. Play time lasts for around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the dogs, and is always supervised.

TLC (Special Care)

Additional charges of $4.00 a day are applicable for medications, special feeding, geriatric dogs, and puppies.
