She does a fantastic job grooming our Lagotto Romagnolo (and previously our Portuguese Water Dog). Get lots of compliments out walking with our freshly groomed dog. There is an outside run for toileting and crates to relax in. Always friendly. I have recommended her to friends who in turn have had fantastic experiences and are return customers.

my dog had his dewclaws ripped out after buying and wearing Ruffwear shoes on a walk…read more I brought this information to the store the following day, that he was selling a flawed product that harms animals. He told me he can't afford to lose $75 to return them. They were in the same condition as i bought them! Says he can only return dog shoes if they were worn indoors. Like dog shoes were made to be worn inside the house..... And no mention of that on the receipt.

Our dog was almost dead…read more We took our dog to "Especially For Pets" on 16th Ave for grooming and she was almost dead after we had taken her home and discovered her condition. The store denied any wrongdoing. Half of her body was bruised up. She could not move for days and she had difficulities breathing. In addition, she barely had a hair cut despite $80+ service charge. The hair was still long and uneven. It was obvious that our dog probably fell from the table and the technican stopped cutting her hair. However, the store denied any wrongdoing or they did not even apologize. We are dog owners of 13+ years and never encounter something so horrible!!! Will NEVER take her to this place again. We will never trust their technicans. Careless behaviour, incompetence and worse of all, they did not apologize or admit wrongdoing.

Always phenomenal service here. The team are very welcoming and treat my old girl with such care…read more She's so excited after every groom, I'm sure she knows how good she looks. Thanks for the great work and great service, little Sugar loves her hair cut you give her. Highly recommended

Mucky Pups has some very talented groomers with impressive credentials, so it's a shame that the…read morepeople who work there are so unpleasant. Veronica is consistently sour and scowling when talking to people. She and other members of staff contribute to a very unwelcoming and judgmental environment, and you get the impression that interacting with clients is a burden for them and they'd rather be doing anything else than talking to you. It is never a good feeling to walk into this establishment, which is too bad because the grooms are actually quite well done. If this business was run by more tolerable people it would get five stars easy.

I had the pleasure to spend time with Ola and her mom at the Barking Lot store yesterday. This…read morelocation located right across from its grooming service is a really great place to get high quality pet supplies. The place has high ceilings, lots of light, great colour and has a delightful animal mural gracing its upper walls. Suzanne the owner was extremely friendly and personable and Ola her Pug was not camera shy in modeling some of the stores fashionista apparel, in my photos you will see Ola sporting a tartan cap, she posed for several minutes for me then continued to attack my face and camera lens with her tongue. The store carries the cutest pet jackets and sweaters, beds, bowls and dishes; they even carry hats and ties!!! Really they have a couple of rows to totally pimp up your little best friend with fashion bling and best of all it is quite affordable. There are so many reasons to come here, first of all the wonderful colourful and chewable toys that you see when you come in. The natural and organic pet food. There is even a raw food line that is frozen so that you can take home and it is fresh. They even have a special line of pet food that has been processed in the "Slow Bake" manner. So much of the selection looks good enough to eat, plus I found the store so well organised and so nice to look at. Suzanne prides herself in only choosing the best products for your little critters and it reflects in her store. The Barking Lot Pet Store offers a lot to bark about.

First, I was told he'll be put in a structure program for free then the week after he is being too much and I should enroll him in their training program for $73 a day. The manager I spoke to said if I brought my pup for daycare they'll just keep him in a private kennel the whole day. I think the daycare should have a right to remove disruptive dogs but it's not fair the way they are giving me the choice either expensive training enrollment or get the private kennel. I paid for the daycare package, I should be able to get a refund at least on the remaining unused days. There has been no response to my email request for a refund, that ruined my experience. The daycare itself isn't bad, great hours and camera access, the staff was nice as well. Update: still never received any emails/calls from the manager Jeff that everyone keep directing me to reach but I was able to get a refund by going in person. Lots of respect to the owner Linda reaching out to understand what went wrong and try to fix things.

Next time we go on holidays we won't hesitate to have our dog stay there for a longer visit.

They carry all kinds of pet products, and everyone is fairly knowledgeable on what will work best for yours. Love also, that despite being a locally owned business, their prices are on par or cheaper with their big box competitors. Not to mention all the furry friends I make when I come here! Hello dogs! It's nice to meet you. :D Got a dog that hides under the bed and bares his (or her) teeth when the clippers come out? Bring him to Sheena, she's a total boss.

Alistair is a pig, and I love him! My first visit to this…read morestore was on a special day...it was Alistairs birthday. He was upfront in the store with a wee party hat on..( have to say though I dont like when people dress up animals, but this didnt seem like too big a deal for Alistair) and they were giving away crave cupcakes. There were streamers, Alistair was snuffling away and cheerfully receiving pats from his admirers. So THAT was my introduction to this little place. LIke most mom and pop pet food stores you will find that the prices are higher than at somewhere like Petsmart etc. It is understandable as they dont have the volume of sales. The products they do have though are excellent, wonderful products for your beloved pets. It is clear that the owners of this store love animals and want nothing but the best for thier customers pets. I will admit that I tend to go to Petsmart, but do like to pop in here to pick up a few special treats for my kitties and see Alistair. It is so cool to have a pig in my neighborhood and to go to a piggy birthday party is something that I have for the memory books.. Long live Alistair, mom and pop businesses and all those who love animals. oink oink.. ( that was Alistair)

Besides being an independently owned pet store, the more appealing attraction PN has is its…read moreresident pig Allister. Allister's pen greets you at the door and according to his father, the owner; Allister has a Facebook page of 400 friends. More FB friends than I, Allister. The store is a very modest, simple establishment and it is run by a very likeable fellow, he took the time to bring Alli from the back of the store to meet me and they both showed me his trick of sitting down for a treat. Alli tried to sit again for another treat but his papa was all to savvy. One treat is enough, now don't be a pig about it. PN carries mostly supplies for dogs and cats and the prices there seem quite reasonable, it seems to be a large store and equipped with toys, food as well as a nice section of sleeping accessories for your furry friends. So yes this yelper likes PN and especially her new friend, I just hope he doesn't reject me on FB.
