PetSmart Doggie Day Camp at 1034 North El Camino Real in Encinitas operates inside PetSmart Store #144, combining structured group play with climate-controlled indoor and outdoor activity zones in the New Encinitas retail corridor. The day camp runs alongside PetSmart's in-store PetsHotel, grooming salon, training classes, and Banfield Pet Hospital, creating a single-stop campus that serves North County visitors including guests at nearby lodging like Inn at Moonlight Beach who need short-term daycare during coastal excursions. PetSmart, founded in 1987, operates more than 1,600 retail locations and over 200 in-store PetsHotel facilities nationwide, and the Encinitas store carries the full suite of services including academy-trained Pet Stylist grooming and accredited dog training programs. Dogs attending day camp undergo a temperament screening before their first session and are grouped by size and play style, with staff rotating enrichment activities throughout the day — a structured socialization model that complements the self-guided hiking and trail experiences available at Annie's Canyon Trail in the San Elijo Lagoon reserve. Through its in-store partnership with PetSmart Charities, the Encinitas location has participated in an adoption network that has facilitated the placement of more than seven million pets since the program launched in 1994.
