Dog & cat grooming,training, dog daycare, boarding, retail store. Best of Pasadena winner and reader Joel Tatum, owner of My Pet Garden, is a former L.A.
Zoo zookeeper who worked closely with rhinoceroses. You may not own a rhino, but Joel also loves the smaller critters — including cats, dogs and birds — and the core philosophy of his store is built around nutrition. Tatum insists that he won't carry a product if his staff can't look you in the eye and tell you it's good for your pet, and he also prides himself on his passionate, knowledgeable and
approachable staff. Indeed, they actually remember your dog's name — it's like Cheers for pets. And pets are happy to come back, in part because the store also specializes in ultra-gentle grooming and will stop a session if the animal looks like it's freaking out. All the groomers participate in a program called Every Dog Has Its Day, which is pro bono grooming of animals in shelters around the city, thus increasing their chances of adoption. Now that's something to bark about!
WE ARE OPEN ✨ We are offering discounts to those in need, & we are stocked with supplies for your fur babies.
🔹 We hope everyone is safe & supported during this time.
🔹 Wear a mask & stay indoors.
WE LOVE YOU 🩵

The store phones are down. Please call or text 1 (626) 319-1238
Figured those with boarding dogs probably want an update
❣️We are NOT under evacuation at this time. We don’t think we will be, but we are prepared with crates and leads incase.
Two team members are staying the night to provide comfort for you, your pets, and us lol.
We have air purifiers and fans going to help with any smoke
In case we have to evacuate, we will update where we end up. The plan is to come to the Tatom house but there are too many variables and little fires starting to be sure. Hopefully it does not come to that! Rest assured I am obsessively checking the maps.
If you’ve had to evacuate and don’t have a place for your pets, call us and bring them in.
If you do have your pets safely, please make sure you have ID on them. Literally write it in sharpie on their collar or put some tape around it like an ID tag. The wind is scary, they may run out of fear.
Apologies for any typos, it’s been a day! Just got the little one down and time to try and sleep. Stay safe, we love y’all.
Xx

Repost from @birdsnestbaby since it’s also my account ;) rigatoni thought this was enough grooming, but we thought the mpg salon would clean him up better!

Six Times! That’s the number of times My Pet Garden has been voted the ‘Best Pet Shop’ in Pasadena by Pasadena Weekly readers! #BestPetShop #Pasadena #PasadenaWeekly
We are so thankful for such amazing customers in Pasadena & from all throughout Los Angeles. My Pet Garden opened in July of 2007 and was built around the idea that if any of us can’t look you in the eye and tell you it will be great for your pet, we won’t sell it.
Our wide selection of Holistic, grain free, organic, or raw foods will provide the optimal diet for your dog’s specific needs. Whether they are finicky eaters, older or have a food allergy - we know how to find the optimal diet for your best friends every need.
My Pet Garden was founded on the idea of offering only the finest selection of foods.
As a Zoo Keeper and Vet Tech Owner, Co-Founder Joel Tatum discovered the quickest and surest way to elevate both the quality and longevity of an animal is through providing the very best in nutrition.
Our Ultra Gentle Pet Grooming is designed to provide your pet with a great groom at great comfort.
Our services can take longer as we will never rush the groom, or put harsh heat on your pet.
Doggy daycare is one of the best ways to socialize your pooch.
MPG Doggy Daycare For Small & Medium Dogs is just plain hysterical fun. MPG DDC is staffed with folks that actually play with your dogs. You will not find them standing around a yellow bucket & mop, or on their cell phones - they are too busy having fun with the pooches.
Your furry companion will get several walks a day, too!
Today My Pet Garden has reached local recognition as the best Pet Shop, Pet Grooming and Doggy Daycare around because of the AMAZING MPG staff.
No where on the planet will you find a more caring and knowledgeable group.
