I adore this store! It is the best place to buy high quality dog food in all of Charlottesville!…read more They have a wonderful selection of raw food and high quality kibble (K9 Naturals, Primal, Blue Ridge Beef, Stella and Chewy's, Orijin, etc), super cute and extremely durable dog toys that last weeks to months, and just extremely pleasant customer service. Oh, and very "fresh from the farm" treats too, if you know what I mean, like chicken legs ;) I come in every few weeks to replenish our stock, and the gentleman that owns the store is always able to comment on the pros and cons of each product he offers -- and I really appreciate the honest perspective! I feel everything in the store has been carefully chosen and curated, and in addition, the prices are awesome. I get 11lbs of raw food for $50 dollars. If you go to Petco or anywhere else in Cville, prices are about double that. So check out Crate and Marrow... I think you'll love it too!

Perhaps Yelp should remove Pet Grooming as a Service, or add a notice that this Business is not taking on new grooming clients. Since the Owner stated in her response that they do not support or have anything to do with Yelp, maybe a better idea is to remove this business from the search results for Pet Grooming.

TL;DR: HIRE HER. She's AMAZING…read more Our little beagle was rescued from a puppy mill that was raising him sell to a lab. The mill was shut down due to animal abuse. Since our pup had spent his entire life living in a kennel (and didn't know about grass, cars, walks, toys, peanut butter--anything!), we had our work cut out for us. And we're first-time dog owners, to boot. Tricia was recommended to us after I posted on a community Reddit page. She promised to be our one-stop shop for dog help, and she's more than lived up to her promise. Not only did she help us potty-train our one-year-old pup and teach him basic commands, but she's helped us with everything from figuring out doggy daycare, grooming, pet supplies, etc. We see her once a week at our house or at a public place and also answers tons of questions from us via text/email in between sessions. Not only is Tricia great with our pup (he ADORES her), but she's great with us, too. She's super professional and prompt, and is helping us gain confidence as new dog owners. I'd highly recommend her to anyone (and have already recommended her to several friends!).

They put a ton of time and effort into making sure each dog maxes out on fun while staying safe and happy. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog here and the hours of operation make it convenient to do so. I will say that the prices are significantly higher than what I'm used to paying for the same quality of care, though I can't blame them too much from a business perspective (not a lot of competition in C'ville). If they lowered the cost per day by even $5 I'd definitely consider switching to twice a week!
