Birthday cupcake
Casey D.

Super cute little shop! The worker was very friendly and helpful when picking out treats for my birthday girl. Our pups LOVED the treats!

Wendy Q.

They always have the best and most creative products, it is a MUST when in NOLA. This time I got a couple of toys and a flower for my Polly's collar, which looked so cute!

Dara M.

Cute dog and cat boutique. The selection for cats is quite small by comparison of products for dogs. Cute shop, locally run and located in the French Quarter. There are New Orleans dog and cat toys, as well as apparel for the pet owner.

Valie K.

I love, Love, LOVE this store! Staff super friendly and so many options for both toys, merch and treats for pups and kitties. I had to leave before I bought the whole store!

Poboy tug and squeaker toy

I LOVE this STORE!!!! Cutest and most original souvenirs for your pup and I'll spend endlessly on them! The PO-boy tug toy was a true hit and I also got to dress them up in some fun Mardi Gras attire, (see pics)

Dogs with their Jester collars

My Goldendoodles & I were visiting New Orleans for our birthday month. We needed some treats, dry hair shampoo & party accessories. The staff was amazing, helpful and patient. My dogs were very excited and wanted to sniff and try everything. We found cute jester collars, gourmet treats & the dry shampoo. My bank declined my debit card because I was traveling. The man that helped me was patient and kind as he waited for me to call my bank and resolve the issue. The dogs enjoyed drinking out of their cool huge tire water bowl when we left. My one doodle Cody rested his hot feet on the water and now one blinked! This is a must see store in the French Quarter for pet lovers!

From the street

Awesome cute little doggie boutique for the fancy puppy. Had some cute t shirts and koozies for pup parents too. We got a funny weiner dog koozy. Had a bunch of NOLA themed dog collars, harnesses and bandanas. Lots of fancy dog treats too.

Variety of dog biscuits & treats
Nina O.

Such a cute little barkery! I've been to both of their locations & I think I prefer the one inside the Riverwalk shopping center. But that's only because the area is not as crowded. I wanted to buy ALL THE THINGS for my puppy back home but alas, I could not. So many NoLa themed toys to choose from but a bit expensive. The staff were very friendly & made some great recommendations as far as which treats my dog would like after I told them that he didn't like treats that are too hard.

Cafe du Monde dog toy
Jennifer D.

Cute little pet store in the French Quarter! They had the cutest NOLA dog toys so I couldn't resist getting one for my dog as a souvenir. I ended up choosing the Beignet Man. They also had a toy that looked like the Cafe du Monde beignet mix boxes, Po' boys, and more. I would definitely recommend going here if you're looking for a special gift for your dog.

My wife and I decided go to this cat and dog supplies store in Outlet at Riverwalk we have be to the original one in the French quarter. They really nice items for cats and dogs including a dog bakery for dogs including donuts for dogs.

Super cute shop!! I was in New Orleans for a work trip and popped over to this part of town to check out the shops. I have two very demanding Shih Tzus that are very much done with all my traveling this year. I had to have some goodies for them in my bag or I was going to be in the doghouse. I grabbed a crawfish toy because duh, New Orleans. I also bought some of the cute squeaky toys like "Sour Scratch Paws" and "Barker's Mark". My dogs are besties with a Frenchie so I bought her an Elf-themed sweater. They have adorable party hats, like the fancy ones on Etsy, funny stickers, home decor, t-shirts, and a cute little bakery case. They had more than the standard cookies too! If I'm back in NOLA, I'll definitely be back!!

See all

Nice but mostly just dog clothes. I don't put clothes on my dog, only a few treats. A store mostly for people, not animals

Are you looking for a hedgehog? This is how you get a hedgehog…read more.. Okay, I wasn't going in for a hedgehog. I was trying to get a new betta fish because I have a tank and it was going to waste. I walked in, and was immediately greeted and asked if I needed any help. Even though I knew I didn't, I told them why I was there and directed towards all of the beautiful options of bettas that they had in. However, I was so taken back by all of the tanks that I really just wanted to explore the store. Rows and rows of all kinds of aquatic life! Fish, crustaceans, plants, eels, and I don't know what all was there, but it was a lot. While the place isn't huge, I could've easily spent an hour just looking at every tank and enjoying all of the wildlife. Then they had some tortoises, hedgehogs, mice, spiders, probably snake? Seriously, I was just impressed by all of the selection. But, that's not why I was there. I needed the betta and a new heater and was very easily accommodated. Great store, a little pricey, but you'll probably find what you need without much of an issue.

This business owner does not stand behind what he sells. I purchased a fish that died within a…read morecouple of hours, and instead of taking responsibility, he blamed everything and everyone else. With no credit and no replacement of a fish. I also tried to trade in another fish I bought from him just two days earlier because it was attacking my other fish. His response was that the fish was "supposed" to act that way. What kill my other fish? He refused to offer store credit on the $20 fish and said he needed to "see if it survived." He then told me to come back in four days for possibly a $7 credit. This is unacceptable service. The lack of accountability, poor customer care, and unprofessional behavior are reasons why I cannot recommend buying from this store. We will no longer support this business.

Great place to go when you want to spoil your pet. I love to go there on my dog's birthday (or…read moregotcha day, or any other "special" occasion) to buy one of their peanut butter pup-cakes. They're quite pricey, but our dogs only get this one go-round with us. Might as well enjoy it! They have a selection of toys, collars, and other treats, as well as a grooming section, and baths in the back. I walked in the other day with my pup to get her nails done there (for the first time). Call ahead, as the groomer isn't there full-time, but once I had figured out she was there, I walked right in and it took about five minutes (they were long and needed a clip, then grind). Other than cost factors, and a limited selection (small shop, limited space), I think it's a great stop to treat your dog without having to go to a bigger, more corporate store.

I've been a long-time customer, but this experience ended the relationship…read more On my last grooming visit, my dog's tail was cut unevenly and inconsistently. When I asked the groomer to fix it, she acknowledged she didn't know how. At checkout, after reviewing the issue, I was given a 50% discount, which I appreciated as an acknowledgment of the poor work. However, the bigger issue came next. I scheduled another grooming appointment three days in advance, received confirmation, and made arrangements to get my dog there. When she arrived, the groomer refused service -- with no advance notice, no call, and no apology. I had to call the store myself to find out what happened. I was told the groomer is a private contractor and could refuse jobs at will, and that nothing could be done except "leaving a note for the manager." Regardless of internal arrangements, customers schedule through the store, receive confirmations from the store, and reasonably expect professionalism from the business they patronize. Denying service only after a customer arrives -- without notice -- is unacceptable. Grooming quality here has been inconsistent, but customer service and accountability have been consistently lacking. After years of loyalty and multiple chances, I won't be returning.
