Filthy dirty environment! I was shocked! Flies and bugs on the bones, other dog treats like the chicken heads and feet. Honestly, I'm surprised dogs don't leave there sick after visiting! Annabelle is always helpful, she is much loved in the dog community... but if she isn't on site, the advice you get is neither well-informed nor helpful. And the girl behind the counter that day was more interested in her cell phone than me. Although they are local to Potomac Yard, I seriously don't mind driving further for a more enjoyable shopping experience.

So my Aspengirl and I have a regular habit of walking down here Friday afternoons and getting her a treat. While their treat assortment is always amazing - and staff are always so loving to my 50/50 girl (half the time she's nice to other dogs in the store, half the time she's not havin' it) - our favorite experience is how they helped fit her recently for a new sweater. Between how kind they were to her as they measured her, showed me how to get her into and out of her sweater, and kept me posted on when the right size would be coming in, it was an all around fantastic experience. And my little girl looks beautiful in her new sweater - and she loves putting it on now! (She hates every other sweater I've gotten her)

The most amazing people you'll ever meet. I believe her name was Annabelle. She is so knowledgeable about CBD for dogs and helped me pick the perfect brand for my 13-year-old Channing. Haley was fantastic and had the CBD ready to go when I arrived. I love this place and the outstanding customer service.

We stopped in here based on a recommendation from our neighbor because our puppy had an upset stomach and was scratching a lot after his walks. The staff here is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about dogs. We bought some goats milk (serves as a probiotic) and some itch relief spray. We made the goats milk into frozen cubes and we give it to our puppy a few times a well he thinks it's a little treat and his tummy hasn't been upset . The itch relief spray has definitely worked wonders for the scratching after his walks. I would recommend this small business to any pet owner and we will be back to shop for our puppy.

The best local dog store! They have so many treats, toys and food and the people who work there are so genuinely excited and happy to help you whenever you come in. It's not unusual to see a four-legged customer in here sniffing around and my dog loves to visit. Pro tip that there are usually treats in the mailbox outside the store for your pup even if the store isn't open yet.

Great selection of toys, treats, food and supplies. They also have a small selection of cat items! Prices are comparable to what I’ve seen on Amazon, so shop local and help a small business. :) The staff is friendly and they provide helpful recommendations that actually work.

Small store with a great location, better selection of dog focused (and some cat) products, and the single best group of staff I've had the pleasure of interacting with at a pet store. We love going here, and every time it seems like we find something new that becomes a favorite for our dogs (and a new kind of food our cats adore). When we have questions the staff have been great and, honestly, will keep going here over the local big box.

Great staff, and a very cute store. They are hands down the best dog store in Alexandria. I always love supporting local businesses, and they are a prime example.

I love the dog store located on Mount Vernon Ave. A year and a half ago I adopted my gentle beast, lucky the golden retriever. I walked in and wanted to make him as comfortable as possible due to him being a pandemic puppy and his previous owner not having time anymore. My teacup yorkie and I welcomed him in, with new toys and all. Last year , I purchased a bear, fluff and tuff brand, and boy did it last. It’s lucky’s favorite toy, but after almost 2 years together , he finally destroyed the squeaker. On 8/22/22 I walked in around 12pm-1pm and a wonderful young lady helped me out. I explained that I needed the same bear … destroyed and all lucky would not allow me to take it away to discard. No luck, however this young lady knew exactly what I was referring too and she showed me the same brand just different animals. I went with elders the elephant from the fluff and tuff collection. When I got home , lucky still bummed out that his bear no longer squeaks, was introduced to the elephant and away he went. I love the dog store , I have always had an amazing experience with them. Even when I was gifted my teacup yorkie and knew absolutely nothing about teacup or toy size dogs (only labradors ) they assisted me with my picky princess’ needs. My beast , well he’s no different from toys to treats to basic needs , they have everything you could possibly need. The best part yet, the nice rep was able to help me find a brand new Mr. Honey Bear on the website , and he is now on the way!

Your dog’s wildest dreams are about to come true. I’ve never seen so many different products made from so many different things--specifically for dogs to chew and enjoy. You kind of have to go see for yourself. Pick something up and watch your dog devour it...you’ll be amazed!
