About Sam's Green Paw

Sam's Green Paw is a full-service doggie pet hotel, day camp, and grooming business with a legacy of experience and knowledge spanning over three decades. In 2010, Sam's Green Paw, formerly Sam's Play It To The Bone, rebranded itself and expanded to more accurately reflect its new vision:

To provide leadership in delivering high-quality pet care for our community, in a way that's good for Earth and healthy for pets.

Everything we do is inspired by our dedication to pets and the environment. Our services are divided into three categories that offer sustainable ways to look after your pet, Play, Groom, Stay.

Play- after socializing in a safe, cage-free environment, your dog will definitely leave here feeling great.

Groom - with personalized grooming, completed as instructed, and done in a timely manner.

Stay- while you are away, leave your dog socializing in our cage-free boarding environment.

Sam's Story

Sam was born into a traditional Italian family in a small town in Northern California. Strong family relationships and a “small town” mindset were values instilled in him as a youngster. After graduating from Fresno State, Sam ventured into a tiny, “hole‑in‑the‑wall” pet shop to buy treats for his pups.

He overheard the gentlemen behind the counter talking about selling their shop and moving to Palm Springs. Without a beat, Sam walked up to the owners and said, “I’ll buy it!” It didn't take long for Sam to realize that caring for pets with an old‑fashioned, small‑town mindset brought to the big city was that “something” that was missing in his life.

For more than 35 years, Sam's passion for pets, strong relationships with his customers, and “family unity” among his staff have been the cornerstone of his success. He takes his responsibility very seriously and loves every pet as if they were his own. Because he has such a wonderful connection with animals, customers feel comfortable leaving their beloved family members with him. As word of mouth spread, Sam developed a loyal following in the Studio City community and has spread to other communities surrounding the Hollywood Hills.

As the business moves forward into the new millennium, Sam believes future success will rely on us being better guardians of our natural resources. For this reason, he is determined for Sam's Green Paw to make its mark on this beautiful planet of ours, one paw print at a time!
