    Downtown Dogs in Hyde Park Village
    Karen V.

    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.

    Erica and Kendall are the best. We needed to put a gift basket together and they both went above and beyond. Continued to look for us a basket, honestly we will only shop here for our dogs. We have 6 of our own and we will be going no where else! They truly made our day.

    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.

    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.

    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. :)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    I really wish I could enjoy shopping here but the staff bring their pets to work and scream at them all day! It's really hard to listen to!

    I am so happy with how my pup's haircut came out and they could not be sweeter! I asked for him to…read morebe cut short for the summer but to leave a little on his face and ears. They did perfect and let him go play afterwards, Brubba and I are very happy!

    I want to start this off by saying when I first found this place I thought I found the best groomer…read moreever for my 7 year old dog that has been to many, many groomers. But yesterday I had an experience that will never make me go back. The worst experience I have had in any place I've ever been. I am leaving 3 stars though because Essence has been great to us up until yesterday (and i don't want her job to be at jeopardy over a mistake), and new manager Ashley filed my refund immediately and profusely apologized. My advice for the company, if reading this, is to GREATLY improve communication, including drop-off and phone call updates. I've been getting my dog Leo groomed at Beautify the Beast downtown for a few months and yesterday they shaved my dog completely after I told them "just his usual trim and add the spa package." They had Leo for SIX HOURS! I tried calling four different times and ended up driving over there after the third hour and they told me he just got into the bath, then they were gonna cut his hair. They didn't give him any water or take him outside (when we left he was desperately trying to drink dirty puddles) and now he's yelping when I go to hug him, so I think they were handling him rough or something. Added a picture of him shaved horribly and a picture of how he normally looks I am heartbroken on many levels. I lost a relationship with a groomer I really liked, I lost my entire day waiting for him to finish, and my baby boy lost his beautiful coat that is going to shed as it grows, leaving little hairs all over my house.
