“I love this store I go in for one thing and find myself there at least 30-45 minutes. I finally bought myself a gift last night and my cat wants to fight with it. Take a look at my photo.”
“So glad we found The Wizard of Pawz! Our dog gets nervous going to the groomer, but they create a safe and comfortable environment, with a few other dog friends. Beyond that, his ‘haircuts’ always look amazing! Very consistent.”
“So grateful to find D’Tails since moving into Boston!! Couldn’t ask for a nicer group of people to drop my dog off too. They are excellent at what they do, take pride in their work and make it so easy and convenient for me. Highly recommend D’Tails!!”
“EDIT: this review was from back when it was still Fish and Bone
Staff are always incredibly helpful with great recommendations-- I have a very picky cat and he's absolutely loved all of the toys and treats I've purchased here. I have also ordered online and had a very good experience. Definitely my favorite place to get pet supplies and I've recommended it to all my friends!”
“Fun place to Visit! Missy the owner is a terrific person. They sell more than animal supplies, this is a must see. They have all sorts of local goods available for sale from food to stationary to candles. Make sure you leave plenty of time during your visit to chat with Missy!!!”

“We just came in to wash our senior pup and this place was incredible. The staff was really kind and let us do our thing. They had plenty of towels, soap and brushes. They were very attentive and kind. Thanks again!”
“Cozy neighborhood shop with healthy food options and a nice variety of fun treats for dogs and cats. Run by local pet parents who truly get it. Small but thoughtfully curated selection. Perfect for East Boston residents who don’t want to trek across the city for quality pet supplies. Super friendly and always willing to help with recommendations.”
“Castor's monthly grooming is done at Pampered Puppies and this time by Agatha, who did a fantastic job!! Thanks Agatha, and thanks to the rest of the always very friendly staff members!”
“The staff here loves my moose so much! I have a yorkipoo puppy and when we pull up to the facility he gets so excited! Great prices, and moose leaves with all of his zoomies out! (see below) I love this place!”
“Jeana was very helpful and knowledgeable about cats and cat grooming. The whole experience was easy and great for both me and my cat, Suki. I highly recommend Jeana; she was great!”

“My dog loves polkadog. Staff is very friendly + helpful. Miranda always gives us a warm welcome and lets us know they're able to help us order anything they may not have in stock. They have a great selection of treats- we love buying the bulk size of the cod skins!”
“I shop here all the time for my pet supplies. Yes, for some items it's probably a few dollars more than getting things from Amazon or Chewy, but it's supporting a local business and everyone who works there is knowledgeable and friendly, something you won't get just scrolling online. The staff will always help carry heavy items out to your car. And since they have frequent sales and a rewards program the price on many items may actually be cheaper than the online alternatives.”
“I feel so lucky to have found JMBrady for my training gear! I've been ordering from them for a couple years and I'm always pleased with the product and service I receive. Communication is quick and clear, and shipping is always great. Highly recommend!!”
“Pooped Pooch saved the day. Open on a Sunday afternoon, plenty of parking, the gentleman at the counter was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I left with a healthier and more nutritious bag of kibble than our regular brand, and our 70lb girl Sophie loves it. Even with a few extra treats added on, my total came out to just around $30. Thank you!”
“Our mini poodle Zuko loves Magdalena. She has a good eye, is familiar with breed standard cuts, and is a great advisor as we consider new styles and at-home maintenance in between sessions. People (including show folks!) always ask where he gets groomed! Regardless of season, Zuko always comes out clean, soft, and fluffy - and I appreciate the quality of the products that Pawsh carries. Between the products and Magdalena’s drying skills, Zuko’s grooms hold shape and look good for weeks. We keep coming in monthly because of her artistry.
Pawsh as a store is fantastic too. Lots of good treats, chews, and accessories. Super friendly staff and lovely owners. I swear Zuko loves the attention from the people more than he loves the treats!”
“Ordered a cake for our gender reveal and it was 100% worth it. Order process was quick and easy, the cake looked awesome (and was the correct color), and our dog greatly appreciated it. Would definitely recommend!”

“Will automatically brighten you and your dog's day. The friendliest staff who warmly welcomes you and your dog into the store with a smile and a treat. Your dog will thank you!”
“I’ve brought my dog Sherlock in a few times for a bath and nail trim. Last time we got a call “do you like the grinch toes or should I trim those?” (referring to our dog’s fur on his feet). We kept the “grinch” toes and both Sherlock and we were happy about it!Also they have a great supply of dog treats (and catnip toys that I supply to my in-law’s cat out in Bolton).”
“Close to home , under stocked in the fish section when it comes to supplies and critical medicines . A bit pricy but what isn’t nowadays? A decent markdown here and there. Not bad.”
“Best bird store in my opinion, they have VERY knowledgeable staff and are willing to answer any questions you may have about birds and or reptiles. The prices are really good especially for the java wood perches. I came in worried I would be criticized for asking questions and left happy I asked because they answered and surpassed my expectations!”

“Love this place!! My dog has been going to No Bones for over 3yrs and just loves it. Some reviews are disappointing because I've had nothing but a great experience with them. My LabX goes home tired every day, the staff is awesome walking them at least 4x a day and it shows. Some would say it's small but I've been to a few other daycare in the area and not much of a difference, plus you're able to see them in the open not hidden!! They definitely go above & beyond making beds for them every day making them happy and content!”
“Tara and Debbie are fantastic! Would highly recommend taking your dogs here - they are extremely thorough, kind, communicative, and have a wonderful attention to detail. They follow special requests to a T and deeply care about their clients! My dogs came home looking amazing and not stressed out at all. 10/10!”
“Great place to get all dog things. I was able to pick up some pill pockets, treats and bones for my dog on multiple occasions. They are so nice to the dogs and almost always gives them an extra treat”
“Associates were super helpful when I came in looking for cat-friendly treats to celebrate my girl's birthday! They went through every item at the self-scoop station and figured out which were dog-only and which were cat-and-dog. I was able to get a great assortment for really cheap, and I'll definitely be back to grab some treats for the pup.”
“I love a small biz and can’t recommend these enough. i have four dogs that LOVE to chew — we go through bully sticks and antler sheds like the average person goes through toilet paper. Pretty sure they’d chew the earth in half if I let them.
I have very low expectations for any chews labeled “long lasting”, but i saw the summit chews at the sowa vintage market today and figured it was worth a shot .
We’ve been home for almost an hour and they’ve barely made a dent.
…..i just ordered fourteen of them”
“I love using their dog self-wash station. They give you all the supplies (soap, conditioner, towels) you need. Their unlimited wash memberships are a great price so I signed up and bring my dog here monthly. It is easy to schedule your appointments online.”
“It was Chai’s 2nd groomer the first place did a lousy job..I was very impressed with her haircut as she is a tea cup yorkie , and she needed to look as cute as she is .The staff was phenomenal kudos to you.Andrea D”

“Right before my daughter's wedding she insisted I get my gross lab/Newf cross cleaned up.
Groomer stayed very late as he needed to be shaved down [nice ruff around face] looked fabulous! Inexpensive and no other places would accept him due to his size [and he wasn't That Big]
Without them I would have been Toast!
Oh and Come Here for the coolest Halloween displays! Hooves and....
BUY LOCAL!!!!”
“My dog is picky and she loves their treats. Fantastic selection and a friendly staff. As someone with a reactive dog, I also appreciate that despite the store being on the smaller size, the layout allowed for a barrier when other dogs came in.”
“Amazing store! It is clean, has a great variety of treats. What I loved best was the customer service. Emily made me feel right at home and that my dog’s taste buds were in good hands. I got some chicken strips. I like that they give your dog samples so you know for sure your pet likes what you are getting. Which is great because by good boy 🐕is such a picky eater! Also the store was busy with other customers and I watched as Emily balanced it all well helping everyone. Thanks for the help Emily! We will be back again soon.”
