Co-owners Andrew Kim and Mark Boonnark at Healthy Spot Costa Mesa

The question Healthy Spot has been asking the last few months is Where can you Spot us next? This Saturday marks the unveiling of their first location in Orange County, with the opening of their Costa Mesa store.

In the heart of Costa Mesa, their 2,700 square foot location- at 1880 Newport Boulevard- boasts a beautifully designed retail space as well as a full-service grooming salon and spa as well as a small dog daycare area. Along with an array of services, Healthy Spot offers premium organic and natural foods, supplies and eco-friendly toys for dogs and cats.

The inception of Healthy Spot was sparked by a massive pet recall in 2007, which really highlighted the absence of a retail partner in the market for consumers that were solely focused on the well being of four-legged family members. They began with the nutrition and then expanded to other products and services seeking to establish a new bar in the pet industry. A mainstay in the Los Angeles community, where their other three stores are located, Healthy Spot is the lifestyle brand for the modern pet parent.

Co-owners, Andrew Kim and Mark Boonnark, founded Healthy Spot on a steadfast belief that dogs and cats are entitled to healthy and safe products and uncompromising care that extends far beyond the HealthySpot stores. Healthy Spot is dedicated to fostering social awareness of better canine care practices and humane animal treatment through their constant commitment to philanthropic and community involvement. Healthy Spot hosts an array of events, from dog rescue adoptions every Sunday to dog trainings to monthly Yappy Hours for their customers and four-legged friends.

We are very excited to be opening up in Orange County and to be part of the Costa Mesa community, states Kim. We believe we have a real opportunity to make a difference and inspire healthy pet lifestyles. We look forward to seeing what we can do together with the community.

As there is a strong demand from pet parents who want the best for their furry friends, Healthy Spot has continued plans for expansion including a location later this year in the Long Beach community.

Healthy Spot will be celebrating this milestone with a Grand Opening Pawty this Saturday, January 25th from 12pm-4pm. There will be gift bags for the first one hundred dogs, food catered by Mothers Market, photo booth fun as well as lots of vendors with food and product samples. I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue will be hosting an adoption event as well as raffle to raise money for their organization.
