“Pug and Hound Apothecary is far more than a place to shop. It is a carefully curated resource where high quality products and trusted knowledge go hand in hand.
Krysta has built something truly special. She combines the heart and dedication of a small business owner with the clinical insight of an experienced vet tech who works alongside exceptionally skilled local veterinary professionals. That combination is rare. She continually educates herself and thoroughly researches every product she carries. I never have to second guess what I am buying. If it is in her store, I know it meets a very high standard.
Her team helped me successfully transition my picky cat off kibble, which was no small feat. And when it comes to my soon to be 13 year old German Shepherd, I am incredibly selective. Krysta has been a knowledgeable and trusted resource as he ages, always willing to thoughtfully discuss options and offer well researched recommendations when I have questions or concerns.
The expertise, care, and intentional product selection here truly set this business apart. You can feel the difference the moment you walk in.”
“This was my first visit with my puppy, Knuckles, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience! My friend Ashley recommended this dog grooming spa, and I’m so glad she did.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such a warm welcome by Lindsey (I believe that was her name). The salon was spotless, and as another pup was leaving, it was obvious they had been well cared for and were happy.
Since this was Knuckles’ very first grooming appointment, I was a little nervous, but the entire team was incredibly patient, gentle, and kind with him. When I picked him up, he looked adorable wearing a cute bandana, smelled amazing, and his coat was so soft and fluffy. As a corgi owner, I know their coats require special care, and they did a fantastic job!
It’s clear the staff genuinely loves what they do and treats every pet like family. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a caring, professional groomer. We’ll definitely be back—Knuckles has found his new favorite spa!”
“Excellent experience everytime I visit Pet Supplies Plus North Aurora. I have enjoyed going there since they open. I ues the baths a lot for my bullys, The wash areas are always clean. I buy my bullys food & treats from Pet supply as well. ALL the employees and managers are always there to help and my bullys love visiting and always trying to catch a treat.”
“Nice store with a good selection of a healthy food even for cats. It's really hard to find smth for cats. Usually there's a whole variety for diff, but just a couple of good brands for cats. Here I can find smth nice all the time
Thank you”
“We found this great place to bathe our Beagle. We’re 80 so trying to bathe him at home is hard and dangerous. Here he walked up the ramp and into the bath. Great friendly staff and super convenient to use! Would highly recommend it”
“We’ve used Ruffner’s periodically over the years and recommended them to others. I don’t trust Zeke to just anybody!
Zeke always comes home happy. I really appreciate that they know how he is doing when we call without checking. They seem to be “dog people” and that’s a good thing.”

“I cannot say enough great things about Kelsey! Finding safe food for my dog with severe food allergies has been an incredibly stressful process since her options are so limited. Kelsey completely turned that experience around for me.
She spent a significant amount of time walking through every single selection possible, carefully checking labels, and providing the absolute best one-on-one customer service I have ever received for my baby. Her patience and deep knowledge were impressive, but what I appreciated most was the genuine compassion she showed for my situation.
Kelsey went above and beyond to give me peace of mind. Coming from a General Manager myself, I know firsthand just how incredibly difficult it is to find good, hardworking employees like her. She is a valuable asset to your business and absolutely deserves recognition. If you need someone who truly cares and will take the time to help you, ask for Kelsey!”
“First off, the food is great. Obviously since you're here, and I do think it helped my beagle mutt mix live to a ripe old age of 17.
Secondly, the staff has been fantastic in dealing with my changing standing delivery orders. Very accommodating. Always pleasant, overall a wonderful experience.”

“Moved to the area a month ago. Have been getting supplies and stuff from Reef Plus for the past month. It’s an awesome store with an awesome selection and everything is well cared for. A+ at Reef Plus check them out!”
“Becky is my dog's groomer. She is very professional.patient and is very in detail in how she grooms. She explains everything clearly what your dog needs, what she could and should do. Without any pressure whatsoever.”
“Cleaned out my dryer vent and found baby house sparrows. Sue gladly took the babies without any hesitation when they were parent-free. Saved 3 lives and possibly one more (egg).”

“This store is beautiful! Well stocked and always clean. The manager, Taylor, is always helpful and goes out of her way to help find the right products for my pup. My Vin loves going to Two Bostons ❤”
“We have been getting our chicen feed from here. Great products paired with wonderful advice and the most amazing customer service ever. I always leave happy and with a smile on my face and my heart from being treated like a beloved family member or close friend on each encounter.”
“I had such a great experience with Mushyface Cookie Co. at the Logan Square Farmer’s Market. The team was incredibly kind, welcoming, and thoughtful, not just toward my pup (who is a very large Great Dane), but toward me as well!
They helped me find a treat for my dog & were very gracious and understanding about my discomfort handling it myself (vegan probs), even giving it directly to him so I didn’t have to. Small gesture, but it really meant a lot. My dog was absolutely thrilled with their selection, and they showed him so much love and attention while chatting with me about their own dogs too.
You can genuinely tell this business is run by hardworking, caring people who truly love what they do. I really enjoyed spending time at their tent and would absolutely encourage others to support them at the market!”
“Went here for the 1st time today since my usual pet store is being remodeled. The lady running the store was very nice and knowledgeable. The prices were cheaper than my other store as well. Very clean and organized!”

“We had the most lovely experiencing buying our teddy bear poodle from here. She’s the sweetest addition to our family. The process was easy, they explained everything, and the package is so worth it!”
“Terri has been the best with all my (4) dogs for years & my son & daughter-in-law's (5) dogs. Not only does she pamper the dogs, but if there is a medical issue with a pup, she loves them and cares for them GENTLY, possibly separates them form the others so they are not played with as much. Her idea of "no-cage" is the BEST. Dogs love socializing with the other dogs. Please don't ever stop what you are doing.”
“Super friendly people, cool animals. Had a spicy kitten when we visited and it was noted on the crate. Just kinda funny. Rabbits roaming the store, that was cute. Some exotics, turtles, bearded dragons. Beef cheek non rawhide chews, dogs loving it right now. Got the blueberry one. Friendly staff as well. Nice place to visit.”
“Wonderful place. My daughter and I go at least once a month. All the vendors are very pleasant, and happy to share knowledge even if you don't make a purchase from them. We love going to see what just may happen to be there.”
“We ordered baby chicks and couldn’t be happier. It was a much better experience than Farm and Fleet or Tractor Supply. The shop itself is very cute and I plan to go back for future gardening needs.”
“Absolutely wonderful cake and wonderful shop! They even had a birthday sign at the counter when I picked up his cake 🩵 Our pup loved every bite! They even worked with us around his food allergies. I would absolutely recommend It's So Fluffy Pet Bakery for anyone looking for a cake for your furry friend!”
“We adopted our greyhound from Midwest Greyhound Adoption in August 2024. They are a wonderful organization and care so much about the greyhounds, even once they have found their forever homes. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering adopting a greyhound or looking to learn more about the breed!”
“I needed help with my dog she is very strong a girl with dark hair and a young guy helped me to the max they went out of their way to help me they need a big raise in pay!!!!”
“If I could give 10 Stars I would.
Not only was the receiver looking for me first thing in the morning by coming outside to the tractor to meet me but they had me empty within about 20 minutes of bumping the dock.
Very wonderful when people are diligent in their work and value your time!
I hope continued success for this business and the team of workers.”

“Luna did a fantastic job on my dog Bunker today. Shes taken great care of him in the past so I requested her today and Bunker looks the best I've ever seen him. Will be only requesting her from now on”
“Truck drivers: Pretty easy place to get into, you just need to make a right on Woodward drive and another right on cardinal drive, you’ll see the dock ramp shortly on your right hand side along with the entrance. Plenty of space to pull forward too. Fair amount of vehicles coming in and out of the entrance you’ll be using. Staff are great and quick to unload, despite being short staffed.
You may be wondering who I am, but my name doesn’t matter, my voice does. These are not instructions, this is a confirmation of a truth you may already know. What you choose to do with it, is up to you.”
“I went in to get my dogs nails trimmed and was met with a smile and warm greeting from an employee, Dean. The trimming was quick and they really showed my scared dog good care. It was the most pleasant experience I’ve had when it comes to some of these pet places!”
