Maybe it was just the day or...I dunno. I stopped by Baltimore Pet Shop to pick up some last minute…read morethings for my fur baby's birthday (yeah I'm that dog parent and so what lol). When I walked in I was greeted by no one and I'm pretty sure staff saw me because the store is small as all get out. It's a personal thing. I digress. They had a lot of options for all kinds of pet babies and it was almost like a little corner store for all of your pet needs. I did pick up a few things for my little one but I could stand for some more affordable items and more variety. Will I go back? Not go out of my way to get there but if I needed anything I'd check them out again.

extremely kind and helpful staff with an added bonus of two little cat friends who help you shop :)read more

They also have an entire side for doggy classes / obstacles. It's great to pop in here when I'm shopping in Valley Square and pick up some extra treats for my baby. They also have a reward program - make sure to sign up! Always clean and staff is always nice. Fair prices.

These socials are well supervised by an attentive and engaged staff, and all dog owners are present and active throughout. I love this place. I've received helpful insight and information from the staff, and without question it is the highlight of my dog's week. He naps hard after the puppy social. The retail portion of their business is great. There's a dynamic selection of treats and gear for your dog, much of which you won't find at generic pet stores. Also, the quality of their retail products is top notch. Check them out. For true dog lovers, Cool Dog Gear is the spot. Also, the owners (and their staff) could not be kinder or more welcoming - increasingly rare traits in the current retail environment.

Contrary to the other review, I have not had a very positive experience with the owner. I am…read morelooking for a particular product and would prefer to support local businesses rather than Amazon. There are 3 stores which carry this, of which 2 provide a bulk discount. As an older person on a fixed income, anything helps. Not only does this owner not discount, but her attitude towards small purchase but repeat customers is lacking. I hope she survives but my business will go to Fairmount Pets. Bulk discount and customer niceties.

The local business is always a breath of fresh air. In an age where big-box stores and online…read moredelivery dominate, finding a truly local gem is rare -- but that's exactly what this pet store is. The moment you walk in, you're greeted not just with a smile, but with genuine warmth and interest. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to understand my needs and offering thoughtful advice that comes from years of experience, not just a sales pitch. She was great about connecting with us because we have a black lab. What makes this place so special is the personal connection. The shopkeeper knows remembers preferences, and I feel would go that extra mile to recommend products that are actually right for you. It's the kind of place where you feel like a valued part of the community, not just another transaction. In a world of impersonal clicks and corporate chains, this store is a reminder of how meaningful it is to have a neighborhood business that cares. A true treasure for pet lovers!
