Stellar place. This place is everything online shopping is missing. Feels so good to shop local & have real people help you. Matt is very friendly & went out of his way to really help me find something very specific for my dogs. It would have been really easy for Matt to have sent me on my way with a "no, out of stock". Instead he was truly helpful. I keep coming here & will continue to do so. Fair pricing. Helpful. Knowledgeable. Caring. Understanding. Patient. My pup monsters say thank you & love it when I come visit your store. Thank you! read more

This is the best pet store I've ever been to! The owner is very friendly and they always have a huge selection of healthy treats and bones! My dog loves going in with me for our weekly treats! Prices are way better than the other places I've tried in the area read more

This spot isn't that big inside but well organized. I came in and was greeted and helped by the worker behind the counter who was very helpful and insightful of items I was looking for. Come to find out he was the owner. This place carries products that when you got to those petsmarts, natural pawz, your looking for those items you just cant find there, but it seems that Great Outdogs has them. They've got great selection of squeaky toys, LED collars, and balls at night. Floating vests for dogs, and functional leashes that don't tangle or twist. I enjoy coming here with my canine to shop around and Matt also has a beautiful boxer he keeps behind the curtained wall. read more

I'll never go to another pet store again! My experience was leaps and bounds beyond anywhere I've ever shopped for my pets. The shop boxer was the SWEETEST and most chilled out good boy I've ever been greeted by! The customer service reminded me of those good ole conversational days we all used to live in. I left there with solutions to my dog's issues (which had been difficult to remedy successfully), newfound & appreciated knowledge and a better feeling altogether. Thank you! read more

Kind of overpriced pet shop. A lot of the items they sold were regular items you could find online or at a larger retail chain, just a huge price tag. I'm all for local businesses and shopping small, but don't sell regular items for way more expensive, sell something different and unique! And if you sell the regular stuff, don't jack up the price just because you're a mom and pop. They did have a great selection of chewy sticks and most of seemed like it was from America which is important when buying chewy sticks for your pups! They had a great selection that might seem gross to us, but delicious to dogs! Trachea anyone?? I would go here for their chewy and treat selection, especially if you want healthier options for treating your dog, but don't go here for materials i.e. leashes, collars, bowls, etc. just a bit too pricey, and you can find the same or similar for much cheaper elsewhere. read more

Great store for our furry friends. I found quality food at a great price. I was welcomed by a dog in the front door and he was the sweetest. You'll find a great selection of food, treats and toys here! read more

Great Outdogs - Pet Stores Near Me - Austin, Texas

A loose in tact boxer was free roaming the store and got protective of my fiancé with our own dog...the boxer showed his teeth and our dog started barking. The team member behind the counter did not even acknowledge the situation and did not even greet us when we were there. He was talking to a lady at the counter but could not politely stop the conversation to just simply greet us. Very unprofessional. We were looking to buy a nice lead but the situation left us to walk away empty handed. It was our first and we are willing to try again in a couple of months. Hopefully the situation will be better. Great selection of items though and very clean and organized. read more

Great location with its own parking. Cute two year old boxer dog greeter. Owner dude is pleasant and helpful. Variety of everything dog item is abundant! Worth checking out and supporting a local business. read more

A one stop shop for all dogs supplies No more dog goodies from Amazon. Endless choices for your dogs. Full disclosure. It's a tight squeeze trying to maneuver around the inside. Don't let that stop you though. It's worth your time. read more

Great Outdogs - Fresh harness and leash for his 4th birthday & they gave us a birthday treat! Our favorite pet store - Pet Stores Near Me - Austin, Texas

I give Great Outdogs my highest recommendation!! My dog and I have been shopping here since 2020 and I do believe it is the best pet store in Austin. Supporting local small businesses like this helps in so many ways. The variety of products far exceeds other pet stores. Prices are fair and never a wait at checkout. If you're a dog lover and you haven't been there yet, you're missing out. read more

Been there 3 separate occasions. Owner never seems to want to be there. Less than welcoming. Never once given a greeting. Less than helpful. Shame. read more

Great friendly place that always has what I'm looking for. The owner is super knowledgeable and helps with any questions.

We stopped in here to find unique toys for our 5month old doodle and we found them! The owner is verg nice and helpful. I understand the price is higher than big chain stores/online but you pick where your money goes, its your buying power. I alwayd price check and if its too much then I will go somewhere else. However, I would gladly pay more to a local shop! There's so many things unique things in there! read more

Love this place! For dog owners downtown, who might actually have to drive to one of those big stores with "Pet" in the name; or happen to find themselves downtown or in the 04, in need of a dog collar made from a recycled bicycle tube or some sweet potato treats from Healthy Hound, you need look no further. How smart is this? I stumbled upon them during a town lake walk with my two furkids in tow. It's a mobile dog store and you can find it right smack next to the off-leash dog park at Auditorium Shores. They cater to people who have dogs with an outdoor lifestyle "outdogs" - and have smartly brought the convenience of buying those right to where those dog owners are playing with their dogs. They have life sized dog stuffed animals placed around the outside wearing various harnesses, life jackets and collars to greet you. As you walk closer, there are racks of toys and accessories for your dogs. They frame the way into the back of the truck which is a moving truck ramp cleverly decorated with big yellow paw prints and the words "come inside" peppered along the way. There is a "wipe your paws" mat at the base. Once inside, there are more and more dog accessories, gadgets, dog treats, and items to keep your dog healthy, oh my! The guy working there was cool, friendly, and attentive to my dogs. This particular day, I had the minimal $5 and a drivers license on me, as I was walking and not expecting to shop. You can definitely bet I will be back with wallet (or at least a credit card in hand) to do a little spoiling of my kiddos. Leroy & Ivy give it their paw of approval too! read more

We love Austin's first mobile pet store! I don't know how Matt does it but he carries pretty much every pet accessory or toy you could possibly be looking for inside a freakin mobile truck! Wish I had of taken more inside picks but the walls and ceiling are filled with leashes and collars and toys and treats and bowls and backpacks.... All very focused on the outdoors - get it OutDogs:) Today he was scheduled to be at Auditorium Shores at 8 AM and we were there waiting for him and Dot was proud to be his first customer of the day or in the way while he set up:) see pics... I was specifically looking for a hiking backpack for my 80Lb 7 year old puppy who is a bottomless pit of energy. I got the idea that weighting her down on hikes or daily walks would give her a job and tire her out faster. Matt had exactly what I was looking for a doggie back pack/halter with removable packs for rest stops or dips in the creek/lake. He also sells Swamp Cooler Cooling Vests for these long hot summer days. If you do not want to chase him around town like I have you can also shop online. read more

The owner was very polite and helpful in recommending a new dog food. He also provided advice on how to address avoiding the upset stomach that may occur during the transition. Thank you. read more

First impression is always important and this place failed. Two signs on their front door immediately set a tone. One about the public restrooms and how one shouldn't even ask and two about how the place isn't kid friendly (ask the previous family and kids why this is in place) Word of advice. This doesn't bode well for the future so I'd consider changing these signs as soon as you can read more

Great big selection to choose from. A bit pricey for lost items. Feel feel to being the puppers with you while you shop.

This place is simply amazing I want to thank you for your amazing help in every way. You see I have the small Chihuahua she such a joy to me her name is GORGEOUS about a year ago she was struggling with her weight I couldn't even get her to eat .I tried dog food after dog food one to two days later she would not eat you recommended a dog food for her and I remember when you said she will not turn it down I was a little apprehensive of course because indeed she would always turn it down I open the bag all excited she's walking around the house here we go again I rip the bag open , and she looks unexcited at me with that little baby face now withglee and her eyes with my surprise when she took one bite I was so happy that cried ... But it wasn't over yet day one came and pass a week came and passed now a year later GORGEUS is healthy happy and is soon as I bring out her bag of dog food her tail starts wagging she's jumping in a big circle she's healthy with a normal Weight gain I think you so much you've changed my dogs life and for that I am grateful... read more

I love this place... such a selection! I went in looking for life vests for my two dogs. I picked out a set according to the size chart on the vests and proceeded to the checkout counter. The lovely person at the desk helped me understand how far off the charts are and was able to navigate me to the proper sizes (without them even being there!). It saved me a trip and the pups were super dapper on the water! Thank you! read more

This store catches your eye as you drive by wowza! It is unique & quirky. There are like dog statues outside & zany bright colors. Our foster dog is headed to Washington :( so I wanted to buy him things to have. We have been looking for a dog travel backpack. The gentleman at the counter gave me one free after asking as I did not see any! He was so kind & sweet. I was very grateful. They have tons of the good grainfree pure dog foods and none of the bad cheap brands. I bought a couple of canned goods, toy, and a water dish that props up. Plus you get to pet the big doggo there who lounges around lol! What's not to love. Austin is a wonderful place for dog lovers and I will be telling everyone about this store! read more

Couldn't say enough nice things about Great OutDogs. My gf and I have enjoyed our monthly trips over the years and we still find it amazing how Matt remembers to follow up with us on any new foods we're trying with our pup. It's always a pleasure and we take a great piece of mind knowing how critical Matt is about the products he sells to his customers. You're not only getting the best customer experience in Austin, but the highest quality toys, food, etc. in town. read more

I go here all the time! Not only because I live super close, but also because I never fail to be impressed by the service and the selection. They're also open a little later than most other pet stores in the area, so it's really helpful for my schedule to be able to go in the evening to get some doggy goods. The service is incredible, too! The guy behind the counter is more than willing to provide recommendations and even demonstrations with his cute little pooch, Duggan. They carry all-natural foods and treats, so I always leave feeling good about what I'm giving to my dog. This is my go-to shop! read more

I love this place for all my fur baby needs. The man who runs the place is always nice and helpful. I have a lot of questions and he always seems happy to help answer my list of questions. Prices are good and they have everything and more so it's a one stop shop. The best part is it's so close to home! Check out the great outdog, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much cool stuff can fit in such a small space. read more

Called phone number on website. It is out of order. Called cell number supposedly to owner, left messages but no call back. We purchase a dog bed and inadvertently left it at the store. We wanted to pick it up, but now just want refund. We have called the cell which states the owners name. Asked him to call, send email anything . No reply. Seems like nice store but bad communication. If anyone know how to reach this store. I am now out of state. read more

I can't recommend this place enough. I've never been one for boutique pet stores and would roll my eyes at such, but this place has totally changed my perspective. Our lab/shepherd has a number of dietary and skin issues and requires a little extra care beyond the grocery store food. Any time something crops up, Matt has a great suggestion....and it usually works! The service is unmatchable....recently we stopped in and the food we normally buy was out of stock....instead of trying to push us to the jumbo size bag or a different brand, Matt loaded us up with free samples to last till the next shipment came in. He is lovely with our dog, always giving treats and striking up conversation with her owners. Definitely the way a small business should be ran. We now go here for all of our dog needs...from food to treats to toys to leashes. read more

Absolutely the best store for all things dog. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and prices are really good. I really like the selection of collars, leashes and treats. We have a lot of stores in San Antonio that sell stuff for pups but this one outshines all of those in San Antonio. Whenever we are in Austin we head here! read more

I really wanted to like this place and gave it three tries over several months. There is a great selection, but when it comes time to purchase it can be difficult to locate the owner/cashier....there's a leak he is repairing, he's restocking, etc. Once there was a bell to ring, but that only roused the curiosity of the adorable dog, not a person. I waited about 5 minutes to make my purchase on the last visit. A step up in customer service would make this my go too, but afraid to go back. read more

This place is right by my job, it is super overpriced but they have a good selection of everything for your pampered pooch. I used to get the frozen goat milk here and my dogs would slurp it up like it was their last meal. I have a dog that has a ball fetish, I think it is a mental disorder...she goes through them with a quickness that I have never seen, this is the only place that sells balls that can hold up to her obsessive chewing and need to have a ball in her mouth 24/7. read more

Customer service here is terrible. Heard the staff member yelling at a parent to watch her kids because he had just had to clean up after others. Even have a sign on the door saying not kid friendly. Just because one experience was bad doesn't mean they all are. I've dealt with plenty of adults way worse. Take your business somewhere that treats customers/families with respect. read more

The cutest dog store! They had just about everything we love for our pup. Natural no hide bones. Natural ear drops for after swimming. Lots of tons and having the food trucks in the parking lot is a huge perk! read more

Amazing. Dog store with so much awesome things for your dog and you. The guy at the front desk was super genuine, and helpful. He also gave my gf and I something to help with our dogs allergies. Would highly recommend this place. read more

Amazing selection and good options - just for dogs. Found lots of good toys and treats for my new puppy and saw a few things to circle back on once he's a bit older. read more

I like the selection of items here where I cannot find anywhere else. My service dog was fitted with boots that make it so much better during the summer for her. Dog toys are cool and good selection. My dogs enjoy the visit to this cute store. read more

This is a really cool store. As such, we bought some things. Sure, a lot of it is probably cheaper on Amazon, but the place sells quality outdoor gear for your dog and should be rewarded for putting up shop to keep things local. read more

I love this place. It's local and the dude at the front desk is always great with suggestions. My derp of a step-dog Jeter can't get enough of his toys and treats. I may end up spending a few more cents than on Amazon but the amazing customer care is worth it. read more
