Great place to go for some unique dog treats as well as smaller name brand dog foods. They have a nice selection of plush toys for dogs, bedding, and other grooming, cleaning products for your furry little friend. I've come here for Blueberry back when I had my first sweet little dog, and now I come here for my Muffin. Whenever I go to Hyde Park for a cupcake at Sprinkles, I just HAVE to stop here for Muffin (because she will tug me here on her own) and buy her a tasty treat from the treat display case. They have tasty-looking seasonal goodies that Muffin loves. My latest purchase was two pumpkin cookies, four cookie-dough doggie bites topped with a mini milkbone. Muffin certainly has it made for a place to go get some gourmet goodies with her mommy! read more

A little pricey and not a place I'll regularly come back to for that reason alone, but they have a decent variety of pet toys, treats, and accessories to spoil your pooch with. This location is easy to walk to if you're already checking out Hyde Park; head behind BarTaco and discover a bunch more shops just off the main road including this one! When I stopped in just before Thanksgiving, they had started to put out a few Christmas items but also still had year round toys. They also had a treat bar with various types of gnawers like duck feet, turkey necks, and more. I wish there was more info provided about the gnawers, like where they came from and their benefits (i.e. helps with tartar build up, freshens breathe, helps with teething pups, helps with shiny coat, etc.) and also that they had more of a selection of grooming items like shampoos, brushes, and nail trimmers. Furthermore, the staff NEEDS to be more engaging with their customers/potential customers. When I was in the store with my friend, there was two other people also browsing and four employees behind the register. Not ONE came up to me or the other shoppers the entire time I was in there; instead they kept chitchatting amongst themselves. I ended up getting the toy in the picture along with two jingle collars and a stuffed toy, but if there had been any guidance from the employees about the gnawers, I probably would've picked up some of those too. Additionally, pricing wasn't super clear on the toys. Not every all the toys in the bin or display had a price sticker, so you either took a chance and brought it to the register or had to dig for a hot second to find the price sticker. read more

What a great store! We were so excited to find this fun dog shop! There's such fun and unique items, very presentable and pleasing to look at and browse through. Wide variety to look at and purchase-food, collars, toys (avocado and other food shaped toys y'all!) We sure can't wait to take our pups shopping at downtown dogs and meet the friendly peeps that work there! read more

I can't go to Hyde Park Village without visiting Downtown Dogs. This is one store that continues to thrive when others have closed up shop. It has been in Hyde Park for as long as I've lived in the Tampa Bay area. It's a boutique specializing in all things furry. Well, mostly more about doggies than anything else. It caters to a special doggie. A spoiled rotten doggie. Why have dogs if you can't spoil them is what I say. This store has everything you could want or need. Special training accessories, leashes, collars, specialty food (organic or special diets), treats galore, beds, bedding, outfits, bandanas, and toys. You name it they've got it. They are located directly behind the Wine Exchange. They have a a huge clientele. It's in a perfect location where most of the shops or restaurants are pet friendly. Customer service is always great. Just let them know what you're looking for and they will give suggestions. My visit today was to find the perfect gift for a picky little boy. I knew that he's in love with chicken and requires smaller bites. I settled for the all natural chicken burger with veggies dog treat by Paws Butcher Shop. He's a chicken boy like my doggie so I knew he'd love it. I also got their artisan treats with real turkey, banana, and peanut butter. I figured he may like them as well. Well he most definitely liked the chicken burger, but not the other treats as much. Well, I know he will eventually when the other treat is gone. That's usually how it is with doggies. They snag the best opportunity first and then go back to what is leftover. Anyway, this is the place to go for that furry family member that gives you love every minute of the day. It's that place where you always walk out with something special that fits your doggies personality. Highly recommended. read more

Downtown Dogs is a cute dog boutique that is located at Hyde Park Village, specifically behind Wine Exchange. I came here with my husband, our little girl dog and our friend (whom brought 2 of her dogs) this afternoon, around 2 pm. We were greeted by the manager or owner's friendly golden retriever and also asked by the the manager or owner if we needed help finding anything. This place definitely has lots of very cute things for dogs that include collars, dog beds, carriers, bows, bandanas, harnesses, leashes, treats (including hearts, gizzards, turkey necks, etc) and so forth. Although this place looks rather posh, the prices are comparable to that of Petsmart and Petco. Since Tampa's traditional Gasparilla Pirate Festival is quickly approaching at the end of the month (coincidentally the same day as the Lunar New Year too), there is a whole table of very cute pirate attire and toys. If only we were in town for this festival, I would make sure our little girl is decked out in appropriate getup (although my husband has tried to ban me from buying my little girl more clothes, I still do anyway, lol). If I was a local, I could see myself frequenting this store. read more

Fantastic shop for all your pupper needs. They have a fun selection of toys including themed toys for every holiday. They also offer a solid selection of dog food and treats in addition to specialty treats like doggie cannolis and cupcakes. And of course they welcome your fur baby to join you in store. Staff is very friendly and will help you find something your pup will love. read more

I came across this business while shopping at Hyde Park yesterday. From what I could gather from looking in the window, there were some interesting things for dogs inside and I was going to see if I could find some thing to bring home to my three pups. But...as I proceeded to walk inside the store and go towards the bakery in rear ....the two girls sitting there never bothered to greet me or inquire as to whether or not I needed assistance with anything. One of them just walked into the back door and left the room... while the other sat there looking stupid. As my husband approached me with some items for me to look at I told him about that brief encounter with the two workers and that I wasn't interested in purchasing anything. My belief is that if you want a person's business i.e. hard earned money to support your business the least that you could do is be cordial... I really don't think that some of these people realize what makes a business go round because without customers like myself you wouldn't have a business to sit there looking DOWN your nose at girls! read more

I stopped by Downtown Dogs to see what all the excitement is about and loved it. I inherited a Goldendoodle from a friend and the dog is straight up naughty. Over the last four years we tried training and almost every product sold to tame her mischievousness and yet we still have two major flaws...Pulling on the leash and sleeping on the couch when we leave. While shopping at Downtown dogs I noticed what looked like a bungee cord leash. It is called a Wacky Walker and it is very sturdy. I asked the sales clerk for his opinion and he gave me the complete run down on the product. It cost $43.40 and I am very pleased to say that it works exceptionally well. As soon as I returned home and took her for a walk I noticed that when she pulled the leash pulled her back towards me. This cut out her shenanigans and I had a pleasant walk. In addition to my purchase they also sell, beds, shampoos, CBD, collars, treats and much more. read more

Cute store and good variety.. however I visited the store with my French bulldog puppy and neither of the girls working even looked in the direction of him. Neither interacted with him or offered any assistance to us. read more

A very chic dog boutique in Hyde Park Village. They carry high end dog apparel and the finest dog food and snacks available. I saw a small kitty section, but they specialize in doggy couture and foods including a fresh bakery section that lookd good enough for human consumption. I especially love their dog beds and bowls. The beds and bowls are stylish enough to match your home decor. My favorite is the rustic wood with stainless steel bowls. They look perfect with stainless steel kitchen appliances and hardwoods. It's beautiful. Not your typical dog bowl. :) read more

This store is so much fun! It's well organized and they have a lot of fresh treats and gourmet goodies for your furry friends. They have a lot of Christmas sweaters and presents right now for the holidays! The staff was very helpful and will actually shop around with you which was super cool and more personal than a larger pet store feel. read more

I was traipsing around Tampa and decided to pass by Hyde Park and a boy these shops were not here previously hahaha. I'm glad to see Hyde Park growing and prospering. I came across this door and decided to check it out to get a little something for my fur baby girl. I love their natural treats and I thought it was so cute that they had a berry cheesecake flavor treat which is something new. I know I like sweets and if my girl is a foodie just like I am which I think she is because she always wants to eat what I'm eating hahaha, she'd appreciate a little sweet treat too. She liked it when I gave it to her at home. In addition I got a piece of salmon skin for her to munch on after her dinner tonight. Of course you can bring your dog in here to try some of these treats as well. They have leashes and collars as well as a variety of chew toys. I think it is a very cute, local dog store in the Hyde Park area. The staff were also very friendly so pop on in. read more

They have such a huge selection of healthy dog food, snacks, bones, and chews as well as the cutest collars, leashes, harnesses, and any other accessory you can think of! The staff is always welcoming and friendly! They even recognized that I stopped in without my little Marla B and was asking about her. Even one time marla's tummy didn't agree with a cookie I bought from there and I called to let them know in case more people were having the same issue and they reimbursed me for the cookie (which I did not ask for nor expect them to.) lol his place goes above and beyond and now you can even order online! read more

Been a while since I have initially reviewed Downtown Dogs. We have been in a bunch of times. Everyone at Downtown Dogs is always welcoming to us and our dog Mocha Coconut. They always make sure he is comfy with treats and water. Downtown dogs carries a great assortment of treats, dog bakery items, food, accessories, clothes, beds, and strollers. Everything you can imagine needed to pamper your pet is here, so you don't need to go anywhere else. Premium pet food prices are fair and comparable to other places. Today, we purchased his food called Fromm. Our purchase and our service was perfect as can be. This is a nice local pet store with all needed for a perfectly spoiled pet. They also have pet adoptions here and sponsor other pet events. All is perfect perfect here for your dog. read more

I LOVE this place and have been a dedicated customer for the past three years since I got my yellow lab. They have the best bone options and giant bully's, all at an affordable price. I get a birthday cake for my baby every year from their selection. The staff is so friendly and helpful, they've done a few special orders for me. Don't waste time anywhere else. read more

Really unique pet supply store, with very helpful staff. The man who we spoke with is genuinely the reason why we bought some treats here. We were stopping by around the holidays, and really just window shopping. The salesman who greeted us was very knowledgeable, and eventually guided us to pick out a couple of *disgusting dried fish treats for my dogs as a holiday present. We got freeze dried salmon skins and freeze dried minnows. They have many unique products, and cool apparel. Definitely take the time to swing by here if you are in the area and have some furry friends, or need a gift for someone who does. *disgusting to me, but my dogs LOVED them. read more

Love this store.It's a little pricier but it's a doggie boutique. My dog's favorite toys are from this store. They carry brands that I don't see everywhere. They recognize my dog! I just bought a rainbow stuffed with thee small, unicorn toys. She is obsessed with this toy. The staff is always friendly and helpful! read more

Haute-couture for dogs? Yup. I really loved the selection here. The staff was attentive and helpful, and the myriad options are great to peruse. It makes for really fun shopping. They have some of the highest end pet-related supplies that I've seen anywhere to include custom upholstered pet beds in very nice fabrics not seen at your local Petco. If they ever tape a Real Housewives of Tampa, I'm quite sure this is where those bitches will get their outfits. The store's bigger than your usual animal boutique, too, and it helps that they have a little terrier who runs around enjoying things and helping to sell the products. I wanted to give 4 stars because I've been giving too many 5 stars out lately, but I really have nothing bad to say about this place, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone who needs to pamper their pup in style. Dog collars, tshirts, cookies, chew toys, luxury bedding, and carriers only begin to include the many things sold here. read more

I remember visiting this store last year after getting off a cruise ship. We stopped by on the way to the airport to fly back home to NC. This was the cutest dog store I've ever been to. They also had these amazing peace sign dog toys that I purchased to bring home. My dogs LOVED this thing and couldn't destroy it no matter how often they played with it. Unfortunately, one of the dogs had an accident that caused the toy to be ruined recently. After much research and backtracking, I finally found this store's website & contact email. Hoping beyond anything this was the right place, I emailed Rene asking if they had any more of these toys. Turns out I was right-- Rene responded literally that night saying they've been trying to get these restocked forever and would keep me informed when they get more. Well, she just emailed me today saying they would get a shipment on Saturday of these toys, asked me which colors I wanted, and told me she'd send an invoice and have them shipped. Probably the BEST customer service I've ever experienced. I don't write reviews often, but this needed to be shared. I took a shot in the dark and am thrilled to know that my dogs will get these in their stockings this year :) Go check them out & grab a peace sign! read more

We happened upon Downtown Dogs while attending the Taste of South Tampa this afternoon. The shop is located in a small corner of Hyde Park Village and specializes in unique fare for dogs and cats. The selection is great, and the prices are no more or only slightly more than the local Petsmart. Honestly, the unique selection makes up for the $1-$2 increase on prices, and we like supporting local businesses. We found some neat things for our dog we hadn't seen before such as a cool ring made out vegetable leather, and a set of fibrous\ toys meant to act as a floss while your dog destroys it. We also got him a fairly large antler toy for him to chew on for months. The girls working inside were friendly and knowledgeable. I liked the selection of gourmet treats made to look like "people" desserts--very cute and clever, though we didn't buy any this time. They had a great selection of specialty foods and treats as well. We love to spoil our corgi, so I know we'll be back soon. This place is great for any dog owner looking for something unique for their fur-baby! read more

This store has so much potential. Quiet workers and for the prices you kinda expect a little more from your workers. I also don't want my dogs preppy puppy mini cupcakes out in the open where everyone is checking out I found that weird. Cause those cookies do go stale and my dog won't eat them if they do. Half the store is dog food which most ppl can buy on Amazon. Store is set up the same every time I go in.... It's a small space but this business can be so much more than it is. Hard to support a "just okay" pet business. read more

What a super cute little store for pups! It's totally a specialty store though so don't expect Petco prices here. Nope. No way. Downtown Dogs has a huge variety of leashes, treats and toys for your four-legged friend. I love all the cool leash designs and collars at the store. If my dog was fully grown I would probably invest in a nice leash or collar, but that's a way off. Although a lot of their items are expensive, some things are pretty fairly priced. Their bully sticks are a little bit cheaper than the ones at Pet Supermarket and they have a bunch of different types. My dog LOVES bully sticks so I would definitely buy from here since I'm not too far away. Downtown Dogs also has a whole pet bakery which is full of realistic looking dog treats. They even have treats that look like donuts! No word on whether they're going to make cronut looking dog treats so my dog and I can be cronut twins (hats off to Piquant, which is like three doors down) but I would definitely try them out. This place also hosts dog adoptions sometimes and does pooch-centered events! A great shop to take your fuzzy pal to so you can spoil them. read more

What a horrible store. Dirty and unorganized. What is worse is how you are treated. The people there are judgy. I thought wow, here is a pet store I can go to while on vacation. I grabbed multiple things. My purchase was going to be way over $100.00. I asked one person a question....rude answer. I went to pay for stuff, dirty looks and more judgy looks. I put my purchase down and left. I wouldn't go back if you paid me. read more

Very cute little dog store! 4 Stars because it was a little pricey for me, but I guess that comes with the area. I took lots of pics of the dog toys because they were absolutely adorable! Good quality and healthy dog treats among other dog paraphernalia. read more

The girlfriend always came here in her college years to accessorize her Yorkie. So obviously, we had to do the same thing for the new Morkie. Great location right in the center of Hyde Park Village. The store was clean and the staff is super friendly. Rene, the owner, even offered to custom make and ship some of the items we liked but didn't have in stock. The store dog, Mikey, a Dalmatian, was extremely well behaved and made sure to greet the visitors(very sweet boy). They were stocked with all kinds of toys, treats, collars, food, and just about everything you can think of relating to dogs. I'd recommend anyone looking to spoil their pups to go here. read more

I have been here a few times and every time I come in, the ladies there are pretty snotty (especially from who seems to be the management). I feel like they don't help people if you look Seminole Heights versus their normal South Tampa clientele. I guess you have to be a pure-bred purse dog owner in order for them to be nice to you. They carry quality products, but the customer service kinda bites...thus not worth check-ins or more stars. read more

Do you love your pet? No, I mean do you really, really love your pet? This upscale doggie shop has everything you need to let your furry family member know how much you care. From toys & treats, to the best food money can buy, Downtown Dogs has everything you need for your dog. My pup really loved the treats made with natural ingredients. It is apparent that the owner really cares for animals. The location is in a nice spot to walk your dog around. This is the most dog friendly area I have ever been to. I like the area, I like the shop, and I like the people. read more

I claim not to be a pet owner that dresses her dog up, spends exorbitant amounts of money on him or personifies him continuously but all pet owners must succumb to this urge some days. This store is for those days! I just loved wandering around here and although the products were a little on the expensive side, most were handmade or all natural and definitely meant for the cherished pup. This store has a huge selection of collars, harnesses and leashes and an even larger selection of treats. It has some clothes which were a little over the edge but also has practical, high quality things, which I appreciated! The pleasure of this store is really in the details and I think my mother and I spent almost a half hour browsing. Of course we were in the company of two adorable pups that have the reign of the store! I was looking for small gifts for my dog and my dog- sitters dogs. I ended up picking a handmade surfboard collar for Koa ($15) and homemade treats for Sancho and Copper. The treats are baked fresh daily and come in the cutest designs! The "frosting" has a base of Greek yogurt so hopefully they are not too unhealthy! I have to admit that I went a little overboard; I mean, how the heck am I going to get these back to HI?! they were $4 which is a little steep but at the same time, they were made with love.... Yep, I'm going a bit overboard again! read more

Not sure, but the first review sounds like somebody affiliated with the business trying to get some web promo. Been there multiple times, it's simply okay. The dog treats are average, our dog doesn't go crazy for them like you might expect. I bought a harness there, which didn't fit. Tried to return it, and they refused to give me a refund... would only issue store credit. I wish they would disclose that before you make a purchase. My wife also just dropped over $150 on a dog bed. They told us it would take a week or so to come in (ordered on December 21st or so). We just picked up the bed today (January 12th). You do that math... seems like something happened with the order. Will likely take my business elsewhere in the future. read more

Stopped by today before checking out Restoration Hardware. I've been in the store a couple of times before. I had my chihuahua with me today and was quickly offered a treat for him. The store isn't that big so they only carry select items. There were leashes, collars, pet beds, some dog treats and a few types of pet kibble. The employees were very nice and friendly. read more

I have shopped here multiple times (out of convenience because of location) but never will again. Staff is extremely rude and stuck up. Every time I have been in, I have never been greeted. And every time I left I had a bad taste in my mouth from interactions with the staff. They bring their dogs to work and have them off leash, which would be fine if they were calm, but they try to play with customers dogs (who are leashed) which creates chaos. The store carries great dog toys and accessories, super cute and high quality- it's a shame they don't train their employees in basic customer service. read more

Terrible staff. Stuck up. Over priced. Manager doesn't care about customer feed back. The many of times I've been in, I've never been greeted once. And when asked for help the girls kept talking about how much they drank the night before quite loudly. Lousy business for Hyde Park! read more
