Testimonials
“I absolutely love this place! I come here to buy dog food and treats for my pups all the time. I've also had my Yorkie groomed here and it went very smoothly. My pup was super calm and comfortable when I picked him up, more than when I dropped him off. Highly recommend this place!”
Maicy L.
“We love this store, you will too. This is the kind of locally owned store that makes it fun to shop again. Stores like this just don't exist anymore. You can stop in because you are in the neighborhood and say hi. Pick up a free treat for the dog. They will shout out your name. Remember your last purchase. Give you a great recommendation on a new product or idea...or help you solve the problem you might be having with your pet...and you actually believe them.”
A Rating
