I also feed my pups specialty food, so I cannot get it at petco or petsmart so I jsut really have no need to go there.

There are SOOO many cute little boutiqe dog stores now a days.... I can't resist!

I wish there were more people like you by my area. My boutique is struggling! I see you are in LA. Have you been to that one on La Cienega? I saw it, but haven't gone in. Also the rescue pet shop on Melrose. I went in and wanted to support, but they were expensive!

HendrixandLucy · 12-10-2009, 11:35 PM

Ahhh the one on La Cienega is AMAZING! I just went for the first time last week. Their prices were not crazy. They have very very nice things!

And I am assuming you are talking about Orange Bone on Melrose? THat one is really cute, but pretty pricey.

My favorite is actually in Studio City and it is called Maxwell Dog. It is on Ventura Blvd just west of Laurel Canyon.... Its great and the owner is a sweetheart!

Where is your shop???

I'll have to check out that one on La Cienega next time I'm in LA. I love independent boutiques, but yes sometimes they are pricey.

Yes I was talking about Orange Bone. It's a cool idea, having a pet shop with rescue dogs, but I wondered how they could afford the high overhead there on Melrose. Their shirts and stuff are so expensive. The tshirt i just kind of liked was $45.

I never go past Hollywood really, so never in the "valley" side, I guess it's called. So far for me, I'm in Anaheim. My shop is in Anaheim Hills, almost the border betwn Yorba Linda and Corona. People around her have money, but no one is spending.

HendrixandLucy · 12-11-2009, 06:44 PM

Well next time we are down there.... probably when we go to Disneyland maybe we will come in!!!
Orange bone is a great concept..... but I think it sucks that they charge so much to adopt rescue dogs. Its woderful that they are getting them adopted, but we went in there when we were shopping for our new baby and they are still realllllly expenseive to adopt, when you can go to the shelter and adopt for $30.00
Maxwell dog is really really great-- if you ever venture into the valley you NEED to check it out. It's just on Ventura, so its not like deep in the valley haha.

What is your boutique called?

capt_noonie · 12-11-2009, 08:04 PM

Imperial Gifts, it's a women's boutique, purses, glasses, some clothes, nothing fancy. Business stinks.

HendrixandLucy · 12-11-2009, 08:28 PM

I'm sorry- it's such a hard time!
I hope things pick up for you!

I like Petco the one in my area is cleaner and I feed Bailey Halo and they do not have that at my petsmart i took her to see santa at petco and half the money went to the dog shelter which made it fun you can feel good about. I also love to shop online so many choices!

nana911 · 12-13-2009, 03:22 PM

Petsmart has adoption days for the local shelters, Petco does not. Also, several times we've gone shopping for items and priced at both and Petco is usually priced way higher on the same items as Petsmart, sooo we go to Petsmart.

hillies · 12-13-2009, 05:50 PM

Petco has better sales usually, but I prefer Pet Supermarket to both Petco and Petsmart. Pet Supermarket's prices are sometimes HALF of what Petco/Petsmart are charging, so I always go there first. I get my EVO from Lukes (they advertise on here..but in reality, it's down the street from me), so I don't have much reason to go to the big stores unless it's for a sale or a picture with Santa

There are other online stores that have lower prices for ordering.

Here are a few:

Revivalanimal.com
JBPets.com
Petedge.com
drsfosterandsmith.com
entirelypets.com

As far as food, if you only have one yorkie, your best bet is a store such as Petsmart.

Great post!! Thanks for the links!! I like petco but I think petsmart has somewhat of better prices.

We have a locally owned feed and pet supply store that I use. They have a great selection of the high end dog food and natural treats. I too like to support our local businesses.

Texanna · 12-14-2009, 02:05 PM

I usually go to Petco because it's closer and it's fairly new and clean. Petsmart is in a strip mall in the part of town where all the bad drivers live. There aren't any dog boutiques around here (I think the cowboys would laugh it out of business)
