    Tried them out via recommendation for my girl's 2nd birthday! The cake came out so cute and it was large enough for her to share with one of her besties. They devoured it in seconds and left no crumbs!

    I walked into Puppernickel one morning in October as soon as they opened for the day. I had just been told that I had to put my 13 year old pup to sleep and I was gathering all of his favorite things before we took him to the vet, including a delicious pupcake for my fur baby. Puppernickel had wonderful cakes and the owner Krystal happened to have one extra that she was just baking. I was visibly a mess and Krystal was so kind to me. She even gifted me the beautiful pupcake, which my pup enjoyed before he crossed the rainbow bridge. I had been looking for a proper dog bakery for years in the Portland area and I wish I would have discovered Puppernickel sooner! Their goodies were amazing. Hands down the best in the area. The store was beautiful, with all the fun things your pup would need. I loved the vision for a place that would be fun for both humans and dogs. But the best thing about the store was Krystal. She really cares about her customers and has curated everything in the store in the most thoughtful way. Thanks for the kindness, Krystal.

    A small store stocked with things for your pup! Yummy treats (including cbd products), bones and rawhide, sweaters, bandanas, poop bags, etc. Also a selection of grooming tools. The stars of the show are homemade (er, in-house-made) pupcakes! You can order four different sizes and there are a variety of flavors and frostings to choose from. There was fresh pumpkin available when I went in and I imagine you can pre-order to your preference if needed (banana and pb banana were other options on the menu that I can remember). Our girl was also happy about the cookies I brought home for her. Friendly merchant. Free belly rubs too ;) In a part of old town Hillsboro that's gained a lot of neat stores in the past few months. Edit to say: your dog is welcome to come in anytime. Let them pick out what they want XD

    He wouldn't let me near his birthday cookie! :)

    Always a great experience at Puppernickel! The homemade treats are amazing! The shop is beautiful and full of fun, local items for your pets. My 5 year old greyhound loved his birthday cookie! Thank you Krystal!! :)

    The fresh baked cookies are our favorite. We love to see all the new things Puppernickel has in store. I have a growing collection of their handmade bandanas and bows. It's a fun place to spoil your fur babies. :)

    Pepper just looking cute!  Pictures in the store to follow on future visits.

    I visited Puppernickel yesterday with my 15 week old puppy Pepper, and she had so much fun looking around at the toys and treats. I don't have any pictures yet from the store and that's because she was enjoying playing and chewing too much! I loved that the store has a lot of exciting chews in addition to cookies. I got some bully sticks for my teething little girl to enjoy & she ate a buffalo stick in the store. The owner had very cute Easter cookie packs that I bought for Pepper's first Easter coming up & she has a small cat section too (because you can't get treats just for your dog & ignore your cats at home! :) ) I hope that she creates "cat cookies" soon too! :) I would definitely purchase some cat cookies. The owner mentioned that all of her merchandise is made in the USA, which is fantastic, and when possible she buys local too. Most dog toys are made in China. I have nothing against the Chinese people, but the Chinese Government is known for abusing their citizens, having terrible labor practices, and using dangerous materials in their products. Therefore, I'd rather support companies and businesses that have high quality and good labor practices, even if that means paying more - aka vote with your money. We'll be back soon!

    Ordered a cake for my dogs birthday and it was a huge hit. It looked beautiful and was apparently yeasty since my dog and his guests couldn't get enough!

    We always like visiting Puppernickel and picking up some peanut butter applesauce treats! Yummmm!!
    Sarah S.

    Puppernickel is just the GREATEST place! Not just saying that because my dog wants me to say it and he wants to go everyday, if he could. We enjoy coming here because Krystal is so kind, she has a wealth of information about all the products she carries in her store and she makes the BEST peanut butter applesauce treats in town! Yummmm!! My dog is a poodle and he can certainly be a poodle about food/treats. Not these treats, they are his favorite and I can pronounce every single ingredient in them. I know Krystal uses high quality ingredients when she makes them and she carries high quality products in her store.

    As you can see, Krystal, the owner, listens carefully to her customers and never fails to please.

    If my dog had thumbs she'd give Puppernickel two thumbs up . Such a warm and welcoming place, a true labor of love.

    See all

    I had a really great experience on my first visit to this store. As a new puppy owner I've been…read morebuying a lot of stuff at your typical places (Amazon, Chewy and PetSmart) but it's so nice to have a small local shop to visit and support. I stopped by midday on a Saturday and was the only customer in the store. I was greeted immediately upon entering and I was able to spend time perusing the entire store. There is SO much to look at and I discovered that this place carries a lot of my favorite products at comparable prices to the other places that I mentioned. The staff member was friendly and helpful. I'll definitely return. Thank you!

Out of courtesy, I first said: You don't mind if I bring my puppy in, do you? ( the puppy weighs 5 pounds) Her surly response: As long as he's on a leash. (which he was already, if she'd bothered to look). Okay, so I let that pass. I said: friends to told me to come in here because you could help me with my new puppy. She, in the same surly manner said: well, that depends on what you want. Okay. I'm done. I think I may have interupted her texting time or game time. Whatever. The mood was so soured, I thanked her for all her help and left. Won't go back. If this is how women run a business, they're not going to get mine, nor anyone I can "influence" against it. Too bad. I live only one block away. But, don't want to do business with anyone I inconvenience.

I can take a few minutes to write a survey / review. Plus I've been coming to PetSmart for years for my family dogs (s/o Cali & Apollo!) BUT this time is different as my visit was for my recently adopted kittens "I recently got two kittens and as a first time cat owner I did not own any cat supplies. I knew the basics that I would need but I got everything I needed and more from PetSmart! I was impressed with the selection of products and the cleanliness of the store. Friendly staff. I was asked if I needed help finding anything. Since I was getting a lot of supplies (more than I had anticipated), the staff kindly let me leave my full (and heavy) basket at the cash register so I could continue shopping without having to carry my basket all over. It really eased my way and provided a calmer shopping experience. The associate at the register informed me of the PetSmart app and helped me create an account which was easy as 1, 2, 3! She was nice and friendly! I felt nervous purchasing so many items and was worried about what other people might think... but the register lady was very kind and helped to load my shopping cart. I'm not sure if she could tell or sense I was nervous... but she eased my nerves by congratulating me on my kittens and asking about them (which I was more than happy to share!)"

    Ambiance *** Cleanliness *****…read moreService *** I started going here vs the other big box pet store mainly because they always have the pet food variety I want for our dog. I have been frustrated elsewhere trying to get our picky dog the food he will eat and it has been here every time I go in. The store is also very clean, a little cluttered which is pet peave of mine, trying to navigate aisles and customers (and pets). Stores need to stop filling the aisles with product. (Past life I was a grocery manager). Employees in the store tend to ignore you, but the cashiers are polar opposite and make me leave with a smile.

Only to NOT give me any discount on my Vetco visit with Premier. I called to request a receipt, they had me call other depts. Only to find out they put in the WRONG pet owner and email address! That is why I didn't get the certificate or receipt. I decided to cancel Premier due to the HIPAA violations and messiness of it all. They offered to give me a $50 discount on my Vetco visit which they should have done in the first place with premier but didn't . Only to take it away because i didn't change my mind about canceling my premier membership. My time was wasted running around attempting to rectify their incompetencies. Poor business practices.

    Terrible service. I booked online for an appointment for grooming for 9:30am and then they call me…read morethe morning of the appointment to tell me they can't see her until noon because they don't have kennel space! Like what the heck! How do you not account for that when booking appointments. No I can't bring her in at noon, that's why I booked a morning appointment. Then they tell me over the phone that they can't take my dog at all because I gave her anti-anxiety meds. They won't take any dog on anti-anxiety meds. Why isn't that information provided at the time of booking! Now I wasted a dose of the meds in my dog who can't be seen for anal gland expression that she desperately needs. This place is awful. Don't use them!

I was in a lot of pain and might have to have surgery. So I called and canceled my request for the bird and asked for a refund. The owner was so upset that she called me a name ( that I will not repeat). She told me that she had a No Refund policy, that I was not aware of, she had not told me that at any time when we spoke of the bird before. I told her that I didn't think that was appropriate in my case. Then she said that she would refund my money after she found a bird and placed it in another home. That was on December 9th of last year. At the time we spoke she had not found the bird that I had requested and has not responded to my emails or calls or text messages asking for the refund. I have had the BBB and Consumer Protection Agency contact her and she has not responded to them either. It has now been 4 months and I have not received nor heard from her yet. That is very bad business!
