“Great first impression! The store is tidy and aesthetically pleasing; the fish appear healthy; their tanks are clean and contain appropriate shelters, etc.; and they have a nifty set-up for their frags.Dre, the manager, was friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled. I was particularly gratified to see how patient and careful he was when catching the firefish we decided to get.The store’s loyalty program is pretty decent, plus they carry a variety of LRS food blends that our fish enjoy. We’ll definitely stop by when we’re in the area again.”
“Sandy paws did an amazing job grooming my dog Luna! She can sometimes be anxious and sheds ALOT but they did an awesome job of communication and recommending a few things in regards to de shedding treatment, etc. Would highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Great pet store with an awesome selection of products. Love that they carry Small Batch freeze dried and gently cooked, Small Batch bone broths, Raised Right, OKO cat litter, Ziwipeak, and Open farm bone broths. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. I love the rewards program and the discounts, they really make a difference. Highly recommend for any pet owner!”
“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'm a regular at Jabberwock and they're fantastic. There's never been a question they haven't been able to answer, and it's so much fun getting to talk about reptiles or arachnids with the staff. They special-ordered an amblypygid for me and made sure to reach out when it arrived, which felt so special. Small stores like Jabberwock are a rarity in a time of big box stores, and it's such a joy to come in.”
“Fish and Bone isn't just a pet shop; it's a haven for pets and their devoted owners. With knowledgeable and personable staff who greet every furry visitor with treats and affection, it's no wonder why pups like mine drag their owners straight to its doors. Add in their fantastic loyalty program, and you've got a winning combination that keeps pets and their humans coming back for more. If you haven't experienced the magic of Fish and Bone yet, you're missing out on a Newbury Street gem.”
“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.”

“I have a Jack Russell Chihuahua mix and haven't brought him for a professional bath since our last groomer unfortunately went out of business. He's a rescue and can be fickle around new people. The lovely folks at Linda's told me he did great (I really hope so!) But I will say while he was happy to see me, he did seem very relaxed. The price was very reasonable for a bath, ear cleaning, nail trim, etc and even a bandana! $$ is tight these days but we will be back soon!”

“Polkadog Bakery in Boston has exceptional offerings for anyones pup! A delightful array of handcrafted treats are arranged once you walk in, where they prioritize high-quality, natural ingredients. The bakery creates a welcoming atmosphere for both pets and their owners, making it a must stop for canine indulgence in Boston. Im not from Boston but I will be ordering non stop from this bakery for my pup!”

“I am a new dog owner and took my dog here for our first DIY grooming experience which was spectacular. The Labrador that i adopted hadn't been groomed in a while and needed a good amount of work. The staff took time to walk me through each step and made sure I didn't miss a spot. The amenities are updated and clean. The retail store has a good variety of every product you can think. Reasonable prices too. We will be back again soon!”
“Always super friendly service from the employees that work here, and our dog loves to visit the shop too! Lots of great treat and food options for dogs and cats.”
“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).”

“I have been bringing my beagle Frankie to Riverdog for a little over a year now. From his very first day, he has loved it! I never have to worry because I know that he is always being well taken care of. Everyone has always been super friendly. Whether he is being welcomed in by Alexia or Kathleen or being brought out to me in the afternoon by Marissa, I can tell Frankie is always happy there! They treat him like he is their own! I also love how they post pictures regularly their Instagram! Highly recommend!”
“An excellent source of high quality, carefully vetted pet supplies. Mark has thoughtfully worked with us to find healthy diets for our dog and cats through a range of medical challenges.”
“Best groomers in Boston! The team at Pawsh does a wonderful job and treat your pets like family. Tucker’s tail is always wagging, coming and going from Pawsh. A extra thank you to Jordan, for always going the extra mile and taking such great care of Tucker.”

“I recently got a puppy and was looking for a store close by that offered healthy food/treats for my pup. They are a one stop shop for me always. I get my pup's dog food here, treats, toys, bandanas, bathing stuff, etc. Lauren the owner is amazing and always so helpful! She always takes the time to help me find what I am looking for and recommend anything she thinks would be beneficial for my pup. She is very knowledgeable and truly cares about your animals care. Carrie and Kayla who work there as well are fantastic and always willing to help me find what I need. The best dog store around! Thankful for this hardworking business and these ladies who run it.”
“5 stars for Polkadog!! It's been about a year since visiting Polkadog, after being frequent customers and moving away. We came back this past weekend to purchase a bulk order of treats to give as party favors and boy do we miss it. The variety of hand made treats and options on how to buy (a buffet of treats to build your own bag, 12oz bags of training treats, 5lb bulk bags, etc...) makes Polkadog one of a kind. The best place to spoil your pup!”
“I love my local Petco store. It's a smaller store, but has a good variety of items. What makes this store great is its staff. Everyone I've encountered has been friendly, professional, and extremely helpful if I have questions on a product, or they offer very good advice. Plus they work in tandem with a local pet food pantry, which I think is fantastic.”

“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!”
“This was our first time trying Dog Eat Cake as our local “barkery” closed. It did not disappoint! We drove an hour to pick up Max’s cake and it was totally worth it. The design was fun and unique (not your typical bone shape with minimal details). The cake was airy and moist. Max and his brother Leo loved it. It’s the best dog cake we have ever gotten! Dog Eat Cake will be our go to for both our pups!”
“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.”
“Small store, super nice staff. A little on the expensive side, but my puppy is worth it. It doesn't matter how good the cookies look, leave the for the dogs.”

“My dog gets very anxious getting his nails trimmed- so much so that other places have just given up.When I brought him here, though, they were able to calm him down and do his nails, no problem. Very pleased with their service.”
“My pups loved the treats here! The girl who works there is nice, I did remember reading reviews saying she isn't friendly and doesn't say hello. But if you actually talk to her, she is really nice.”
“The owner is very knowledgeable about his fish and takes excellent care of them. Has a great variety of freshwater and semi-tropicals, especially bettas. I'm super pleased with the corydoras and shrimp I got here.I'm sceptical of some of the other animals for sale (birds, rabbits) but I do not know what is adequate for them so I can't say if their quality is on par with the fish.”
“The staff is very amiable and serviceable. Attentive and nice. They take good care of all dogs. My dog Penny comes home happy and energized every time she goes to doggy daycare.”

“Wonderful staff- my dog dragged me in the door on her second day. She was sooo excited to go and to see the staff every day. When I tick was found an email went out immediately and all dogs searched. Staff was very responsive to her needs regarding anxiety and a sore back leg. The staff love their dogs and my dog loves it rhere!”
“Brought my 80lb labradoodle in to be groomed. Gina did an amazing job!!! This dog is not easy and usually needs to be knocked out for grooming. So glad we found cloud 9 best groomer we've been to!”
“I have been to a few PetSmarts the past few weeks and they all impressed me. Clean, well organized and full of friendly staff. I had the pleasure of talking to a few well educated employees who helped me decide what I would be adding to my fish tank. Great experience overall, if your in need of pet supplies I recommend any PetSmart location.”
