Bark and Meow

Tarrytown/​Sleepy Hollow is appealing to so many because it has a small town feel and yet is so close to NYC. Laura, at Bark and Meow exemplifies this appeal by treating each of her customers as if they were old friends. She is a true service professional who listens to her customers wants and needs and addresses them, often going out of her way to provide exemplary service.
Once I went in to get food for our two Golden Retrievers. We had asked that she stock a special brand and she went to several different suppliers to find it. Well, she kept it in stock just for us but a customer came in one day who bought the bag. Of course she ordered a replacement to be delivered the next day but as luck would have it, we were out and I stopped by that same day. She apologized and explained that the food would be in the next day… Then she surprised me by suggesting that she would drop it off at my house once it came in so I wouldn’t have to make a second trip!
I was amazed and impressed at her dedication to treating her customers right!

Laura truly cares about the consumer and animals best interest. Laura helped me find a solution for my dogs pulling over a spand of three months. This trait of passion is hard to come across in the business world. On top of it all her prices are very reasonable based on the quality of products she strategically chooses.

Love the store. I have a cat and found lots of things for her. Laura is very friendly and works with you in meeting your needs.

The service here is absolutely amazing. I was on a day trip to Stone Barn for my birthday and share it with my sister’s dog. I decided to pop in here to buy some treats for him before I took the train back home. Laura asked who the treats were for and I told her it was for a doggie birthday. She wrapped it in the cutest doggie tissue paper and tied ribbons on the bag. If I lived closer, I would definitely come here to support her shop! Thanks Laura for making my (and London’s) day! :)

I had the pleasure of entering this cute little store Bark and Meow and meeting Laura (owner). She was one of the most helpful and kind people I have gotten the pleasure to know. She immediately greeted us and talked to us about puppy health and nutrition and recommended an organic brand. This was great considering my bf and I live an organic lifestyle and want that for our puppy too.
She was informative and I never felt pressured towards any merchandise. She also gave us sample treats and dog food.
The store has pretty much anything you could want. There is an assortment of treats, food, toys, clothes and random doggy/​cat knick-​knacks. If you are coming here expecting to find processed big brand dog food, then you probably won’t find it. But there is no short supply of toys so this store is for just about anyone.
I brought in my puppy of 3 months, no bigger than a foot long, and she felt right at home. Laura and her employee greeted her with much enthusiasm. Her dogs were friendly as well. Neither of them tried to attack my tiny puppy as previously stated. I would feel fully comfortable bringing my puppy in.
Once I am in need of any dog items I am sure to come back and be a frequent customer. Going into her store was such a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone.

Adore this store. The owner, Laura, (who has a Shiba Inu, just like me) is a doll, and will spend as much time as necessary helping her customers (and schmoozing with her more verbose clientele). She has moderate prices on most items, good prices on Stella and Chewy’s (which can vary a lot from store to store) and a wonderful selection of high quality, eco– and pet-​friendly toys. Go say hi to Sachi, her Shiba, and her adorable other dog (whose name I forget but he’s a beautiful black Jindo).

Really love this store and have for years. I live locally and have been going here since Laura (the sweetest woman in the world) opened the store a few years ago. I have a little Corgi named Redford who also loves to come in and pick a toy off the rack for himself. She does have two other dogs in there who I have never had a problem with, and niether has Redford.
The store carries a lot of high end dog food with is nice because the brands can be hard to find and are really good for your pet. My sister comes here for Orijen’s (brand of dog food).
The other cool thing is the other really nice merchandise she carries. I got an awesome life vest for my dog here (he is not a very good swimmer with his tiny legs) and he and I love this life vest. Very high quality and holds up now 2 summers and going strong!

Manhattan-​style class with Westchester friendliness. Laura (the owner) knows her organic pet foods and is always ready to research special needs whether it is just the right harness or the perfect food based on your vet’s recommendations. If your dog trainer suggested xyz toy, she will get it for you if it isn’t already amongst her beautifully displayed stock.
