Kirby's Corner

I hope everyone is adjusting well to the new school year. I'm just happy my school (Dioji) is year round!

Now that fall is just around the corner you need to mark your calendar for our annual howl-oween costume contest – October 30th! Start working on those creative costumes so you can win great prizes.

What's New

Over the years we have made a lot of fun upgrades to the play yard in Goleta and we are gearing up for another fantastic change!

This coming weekend we will begin some modifications to our fencing. We designed a few things differently at our Santa Barbara location and it's working so well we will be doing the same in Goleta. We will now have 3 play yards in addition to the pool so we will have more room to run and play and there will be large swing gates so that we can open up the whole place to let everyone explore or section off for play space with just their favorite buddies.

Upgrades will only take a couple of days over the weekend and we will be open as usual during this time!

Product of the Month

Nutrisca Grain Free Kibble

This fabulous food we just brought into the store is already a hit! This Grain Free AND Potato free kibble is made in the USA. Rather than potatoes this food uses chickpeas which are high in fiber, have great digestibility and leave your dog feeling full longer while giving them balanced energy throughout the day.

This food is great for dogs with allergies and pickier eaters!

3 Recipes available: Lamb, Chicken or Salmon all with chickpeas. Pick up a 1lb trial bag for only $3.49 on your next visit!

Claim to fame
When we rest, we rest up on the play structures as you can see in the photo. That way we can keep an eye on what's going on.

How often do you spend time at Dioji?
We come once a week to see all of our pals and take a dip in the pool.

Do you have any best friends at Dioji?
Oliver: I really like other doodles like Otis and Ziggy Marley but I also play with labs Maia and Reiley. Lillie: I enjoy some of the smaller pups like Marley, Charlie, Abbey and Kashmir.
