We are not pet owners (yet!), but have been fostering cats over the last few months and Polkadog has been an easy stop for us each time we're in Newbury St to come in and grab some new toys and treats for the cats. Never super crowded, so it's easy to spend your time perusing and finding exactly what you need.

Every time we walk down Newbury, we have to stop by and grab something for our pup. You would think that with all the luxury stores and restaurants nearby that we would spend money there. But no, pretty much all our money goes here for a dog. They have friendly staff and a wide selection of toys. Highly recommend!

Got amazing dog shoes here! Also great help making sure I found the right fit for my dog.read more

Love this spot! I visit here everytime I'm in Boston. All the treats are made fresh, what I really…read morelike about them is that your dogs can try the treats on the spot. This way you don't have to guess whether your dog would like something it or not! I have also bought their lobster and crab toy and they are still in good condition and very good quality!

Not cheap, but I think that they have an excellent selection of higher end dog foods and treats…read more Lots of them are available in big jars with clearly marked prices, so you don't have to buy the whole dozen of them only to find out that maybe your Fido doesn't like that flavor. Fat chance. I got two chews and brought them home for the girls. Big fans of these, they were distracted long enough for me to get through the door and unpack before they were sniffing at my pockets for more. I will be back to Polkadog for sure.

I had been looking for a trustworthy and good groomer for my little anxious Shih Tzu for months. I…read morewanted a place with a groomer that I could trust, in an environment that's not too overwhelming for my already anxious dog. I was so happy with the job that Melissa did. Really fantastic. I dropped him off first thing in the morning and he was ready within an hour which was perfect. I tried Dog Bulter in the past but after 4 hours they called me to say that my dog is being aggressive. That was news to me, but it turned out that they had 25 other dogs roaming around at the same time. That explained the behavior. They were nice but not suitable for my dog. So I'm happy that I can take my dog to D'tails where the grooming is done more on a one on one basis. I found it a little too pricy but my dog seemd to had a better experience so I'm ok with that.
