My Dear is one of the bigger pet shops in the area. They offer dog grooming services along with a…read moregood variety of pet foods and treats. Located in the Ferry Street area of Jordon, its not too difficult to find. I would suggest getting off at Austin Station from the West Rail line instead of taking the MTR to Jordon. Few things I've noticed about this place is that here are pets here in crates all the time. The store pets don't seem to get any time outside of their crates, which makes me a bit upset. Dogs, Cats, Birds, they're all just trapped in their little crates watching the day pass. They offer a good range of dried and wet treats for your furry friends. I go with the Western goods that they carry such as Greenies and Zeal products. The prices are fair and they generally have a good stock of them at all times. I do commend the fact that they carry a good selection of dried dog food. Instead of heading to chaotic Mong Kok, pet street, This is a good alternative. From what I remember, they carry all the big names. If there is a product you are interested in that they do not carry, sometimes they will offer to order it for you. That is a good service, but its not always that they would do that for you. I give this place only three stars and not four because when my dog came for his normal grooming appointment one time, the experience wasn't good. They usually have very gentle staff handling the pets, but this time around, the lady taking care of my pup was a new. I kept an eye on her while she was grooming him, and while rinsing the shampoo off him, some shampoo got in his eye. I was worried but was told that the shampoo is very gentle and it there was no need to worry. Two days later, I notice discharge coming from his eye and brought him to the vet. Turns out, the shampoo made a small tear in his cornea and had given him an eye infection. I was gutted. I only hope they will train their staff more throughly to properly groom dogs.

If you are serious about your pet grooming, this place is for you. Grooming tools line up nice and…read moreneat! Like a display of fine china. This shop makes me think that some think that human hair salons should have their tools in a nice display as well. All of the razors, combs, and brushes that they sell and use on dogs are behind a glass display like fine china! There are also porcelain pet figurines in the window and around the edge of the store. They, of course, do grooming in this shop and the prices are nicely displayed on a large board in English and Chinese. They have different prices for the different breeds of dogs. I was curious on pricing for my poodle, but I didn't see poodle anywhere. The prices were actually under miniature poodle for my pet, and were displayed neatly on the board according to the services provided. The teddy bear cut and style included ear cleaning, nails, clip, bathing and styling for $780 HKD. The summer clip was $750. I'm not completely sold on the whole poodle styling especially considering that my other dog is a mutt, that doesn't even need his hair clipped. However, if you are into having your four legged best friend look tip top, this is a good fit for you. The tools are available as well if you want to do the grooming yourself.

A lot of the pet groomers in my neighborhood double as pet stores: they sell cats and dogs that…read morespend the majority of their time cooped up in small cages. Supporting those businesses by purchasing grooming services conflicts with my personal beliefs - I won't get into these details here - so I began my search for a standalone pet salon. One of my friends in Happy Valley told me that her dog has been going to Hot Tails Salon for some time now, and is quite happy with their services. So I called them this past Saturday and they were able to squeeze in my Shar Pei Sasha just two hours later! Perfect timing. I wasn't prepared for all the cuteness that is Hot Tails Salon! I'd describe it as an adorable boutique - I love the black and white tile and the shelves are well-organized and loaded with all kinds of natural goodies for our furry friends. The grooming area is separated from the retail area for safety, but you're able to easily peer in. Nothing to hide here! After they're finished, they take photos of your dog and email them to you. Since it's almost Halloween, they staged a themed Halloween area replete with faux pumpkins, spider webs, and other kitschy paraphernalia. The two staffers I met were SO sweet with Sasha... petting him, playing with him, and just making us both feel so welcome. Their prices are on par with what the pet store groomers charge, so moving forward Sasha will only be getting his baths and nail trims at Hot Tails. Thanks for making feel Sasha feel so comfortable - and for making him smell so good!

Cat Cafes have become such a thing in HK, especially in Kowloon. However, Cat Store (阿貓地攤) is one…read moreof the few on HK island and one a place where one can really get connected with their feline friends and eat a little something at the same time. Decorated with cat themed everything, the place is like someone's apartment where just everything has a cat charm to it. There is a view of Causeway Bay in the background and the sofa and random chair assignments are good enough to seat about 15-20 tops before it starts getting really stuffy. Let's face it, everyone is here for our furry friends, the cats. There are quite a few here, probably something like 8-9 of them randomly roaming around and catching cat naps in random spots around the room. They vary in color and breed and there are strict rules about how to interact with them. Even though it's strictly forbidden to pick them up, I've seen customers carry them around like babies. Some of them are super affectionate and will sleep on your table or on your lap. No complaints here While there is no entrance fee like some other places, they make up their profit by charging mucho for less than stellar food. Much of it is western derived; a collection of pastas, desserts, and milk shakes that make dining here a mediocre experience. But as always, the cats take the cake and petting for purrs become the focus almost always. While they do take in walk-ins, be prepared to make a reservation. Do so by calling in or give it a shot on their Facebook page. Cantonese is preferred of course, but I haven't seen any tourists coming in here just yet. Good news for cash deficient peeps; they accept credit cards here.
