I noticed this store as I was walking down the street. It's definitely a good find. Many unique goodies to select for my dogs. I brought my puppy with me, and she was so excited in the store she tripped over and fell. It must be a paradise for her.

Happy healthy boy!

Endless appreciation for Murphy's Paw for getting us through this crazy year. They've kept all of Bowie's food and treats in stock, the store is meeting/exceeding all of the guidelines for Covid safety... and the staff is always friendly, patient and well-informed.

Right outside his favorite spot on Main Street.

When we rescued a dog in January, some thoughtful friends gave us a generous bag of goodies from Murphy's Paw. I knew this store existed, but I never had a reason to go in until now. It's a small pet boutique, perfect for popping in while shopping in downtown Ptown. Some items are a little pricey, but most treats are reasonable. The pricier gear and accessories are high quality and unique in comparison to the selection at your standard pet store chain. We were so pleased that they had great customer service AND water for our thirsty rhinoceros-dog. I also want to add, that the fleece vest we were gifted from here, is so easy to put on, it Velcros around his cement brick staffy bod! It kept him warm all winter, and held up in the washer. He seems to enjoy wearing it, maybe it feels like a swaddle wrap? This is one we'll purchase again for sure. We won't hesitate to stop back in very soon for thoughtful gifts, tasty treats, and needed wardrobe additions. The air fresheners are very effective to battle tough pet orders in the home or car. I got the Holiday scent and it was a warm, spicy, and lovely fragrance. Ps sorry to talk sh%t, BUTT (haha) their green earth friendly dog poop bags, are definitely better than the others we've tried. You don't want cheap or flimsy when dealing with pick up patrol.

Super cute store. I found this cute raincoat and I got a lot of compliments for it! Everyone is super nice at the store and there is a huge selection of things. I wish there were a little more xs options for a pup like me but overall I can't complain!

“It's a big turn out for a little store in downtown Pleasanton, about 50 dogs show up for 3 hours.”

This location seems just okay. The store is clean and the staff seems friendly…read more My biggest complaint about this location is that they do not carry some of the brands and products that my dogs like to eat, which we typically buy from the West Dublin location on Amador. This particular location was along the route for another errand I was running, and now I know I will probably stick to the other location since they carry Jinx brand dog food. This brand has been around since 2020 and I figured that all PetSmart locations would likely have a similar inventory. Sadly, that was false. Again, this location is fine for the bigger names in dog food (such as Iams, Blue, or Nutrish,) but don't expect a lot of variety or newer brands.

I've been going to PetSmart for years to have my two dogs groomed and have never had an experience…read morelike I did yesterday. I had a 10am morning appointment for my dog that was changed to the afternoon because the groomer didn't come in. I rescheduled with the lady on the phone for an afternoon appointment that day. When I arrived, I was told that they couldn't take my dog because I was 17 minutes late for the appointment. I was early for my 4:30pm appointment but it turns out PerSmart changed the appointment to 4:00pm without calling me to let me know. The groomer couldn't do anything and called the manager. The manager, Kim, tried to find out what happened but no one took any responsibility and nothing was done to honor my appointment. All I got was a "I'm very sorry." I'm very sorry, too. I will not be back.

We had the best first grooming experience thanks to Anna ! I was really anxious as it is hard for…read moreme to trust others with our dog . Knowing it was my dog's very first groom , Anna was incredibly patient and showed kindness from the moment we arrived . She took the time to read my dog's comfort level , gave her space when needed , and never pushed any boundaries -- which meant everything to me as a nervous pet parent . My dog was a little anxious , but Anna had a calming presence that kept my dog at ease throughout the whole appointment . She was gentle , caring , and clearly took her time to make sure the experience was positive rather than rushed . You can tell Anna genuinely loves and respects the animals in her care . Anna also mentioned to me she wanted to reinforce positive experience with grooming so our groom took a bit longer (total time of 2.25 hours) We will absolutely be coming back and requesting Anna every time . Highly recommend !

I have been bathing my dog at pet supplies plus and buying pet food here for several years. there…read moreare three bathing stations. Two low ones and one in the middle, which is waist high. When I came in, there was a gentleman with a big dog who checked in before me and I asked the sales clerk if there was room for my dog. She said you could use the middle one. When I arrived, there was another gentleman washing his dog at one of the lower stations so my only choice was the center station. My dog is medium sized so I had no problem with the middle station. Surprise surprise it was not working. The hose had a whole hole in it and sprayed water everywhere. The dryer for the center station did not work. After getting a shower myself, I had to wait to access one of the dryers for my dog. The towels they have available to dry dogs are hardly better than rags, they are thin and not very absorbent. The clerk could've simply said the middle station was broken and that I could wait until one of the other stations was available. When I made a comment to another sales clerk who came along to clean up after the other dogs, he said he was well aware of the broken hose and the dryer, and that it had been that way for some time. If you're going to bathe your dog yourself, the pet food express on Santa Rita has better and cleaner stations.

While the staff and products at this location are still wonderful, I had to revise my review to…read moreshare the fact that the Doggy Daycamp camera has been down for months. This location uses ABC Cam, and only two zones (which are infrequently used) are visible. The room that is visible from the window in the store is not viewable online and hasn't been for a while. This is highly disappointing as I enjoyed being able to see my dogs on the camera while I'm at work. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that my boys were having fun while I was busy making that doggo treat money. Every time I've mentioned it to the staff and inquired about when it might be fixed, I've received shrugs and confusion in return. For all I know, it could be a bureaucratic nightmare to fix. Again, this issue isn't something I'd remove a star for. The staff has always been really nice and there are brands at this location that are not at the other Dublin PetSmart. I definitely trust that the staff is taking good care of my boys while I am at work...but it would be great to be able to see my dogs' cute play time while I'm at work.

Made a last-minute booking after my groomer canceled the day before, and I'm so glad I did. Scotty…read morewas awesome and gave my dog the perfect summer cut. He even told me my dog was a cool guy, but I know my pup to be a bit crazy. Scotty for sure has the magic touch! My looks adorable, and the whole experience was great. Will definitely be booking with Scotty again!
