In addition to their commitment to better overall environmental business practices, HEALTHY SPOT owners, Andrew Kim and Mark Boonnark, work diligently to supply their customers with a wide selection of the best in eco-friendly toys, treats, supplies and grooming products as well as the highest level of customer and canine care.
