Give Your Dog a Bone

Why does this guy own a retail store? He is mean and rude. My 3 yr old son was hiding under this store’s illegal sandwich sign that is out on the public sidewalk. The owner came outside and started berating me about my parenting skills. He didn’t just make one comment… he kept coming at me. This guy needs to work on how he deals with the public. I am now telling everyone I know, especially those with dogs, to not shop at this store. By the way, I live in Petaluma and know many people with dogs.

Yes, this store is small, but size isn’t everything! The owner is super friendly and very knowledgeable about everything that he sells. He will spend the time to get to know you and your dog and figure out what toy/​food/​clothing item will work best for the both of you. I’ve bought assorted treats and a sweater for my 80# ridgeback here that makes her look BA.
Also, you gotta respect a guy that has an Akita.

Great local pet store! The service and advise I get from the owner is definately worth the extra couple dollars I might spend there compared to Petco, if any.

Desperate to find my dog something to chew on, I thought I’d stop in this shop on a recent trip downtown. I’m assuming the gentleman in the store was the owner, as he really seemed to know his stuff. He asked a bunch of questions about our dog, then made a recommendation for a particular chew toy, and how to use some that we already had.
So helpful! We’ll be back the next time we’re shopping in downtown.

Came here with Meghan L. one day while bday shopping downtown for friends. Meghan just HAD to buy her dog child, Wyatt, some new items to chew through in 5 seconds. And within the 10 minutes we were here something happened to me. I did something I’ve never done before. I took the plunge.
I bought my boyfriend’s cats toys AND treats. I know… I’m officially in it now.
The guy who owns the shop definitely knows what he’s talking about and after I stated a bunch of facts that I hear my man say about his cats, he helped me pick out the perfect gifts. The cats are in LOVE with Peking Duck and like to lick the gravy off their plate from their wet food. So what better treat to buy than ‘Duck with Gravy’ packets!!! It’s all natural too! Only the best for these kitties!
If the cats like it, I’ll be back for more! Otherwise I’ll have to come back for an «I’m sorry, here try this instead» present. Either way, I’m using this store to make these cats like me dammit.
Also, as a side note, I’m getting a chinchilla within the next year and this store only caters to dogs and cats. But I have a feeling if you like something and want a place to buy it regularly the owner here will provide.

Give Your Dog a Bone is somewhere in between a pint-​sized Petco and an upscale specialty shop for dogs and cats like the Three Dog Bakery franchises.
They’ve got a small assortment of dog and cat accessories, toys, treats, beds and some novelty items, like «licker licenses» for dogs and front door mats that warn visitors that a Labrador’s on guard. The owner said he was bringing in more dog and cat high-​end foods soon.
The prices are comparable with other specialty pet shops and even Amazon.
