I have driven past Notorious D.O.G. so many times that my dog could probably have written this…read morereview herself by now -- and the only thing I can say is... what on earth took me so long? From the moment you step inside, it feels like a magical little pet-boutique wonderland. There's stylish dog apparel, an incredible selection of treats, raw food options, supplements, goat's milk, and basically every wholesome, bougie, tail-wag-approved thing your furry family member could ever dream of. (Yes -- I even spotted Keon Coleman treats. And let's be honest: if your dog is a good doggo, they are definitely part of Bills Mafia and absolutely deserve them.) But what truly makes this place exceptional is the customer service -- specifically, Kristy, who is now basically my dog-mom best friend. On my very first visit, she spent so much time talking through my dog's skin issues, gut health, raw feeding, and supplementation. She sent me home with samples, walked me through their rewards program, and even helped me troubleshoot products I was already using at home. On a later visit, Kristy even special-ordered a product just so I could do more "one-stop shopping" with them -- which says everything about the level of care they provide. Even though we ended up going back to our previous food brand, this is absolutely where I go for everything else. I've sent so many people here, and when I drive past without stopping, I still wave and yell, "Hi Kristy!" from my car -- just in case she can hear me. Five stars, without hesitation. If you love your dog even a little bit, you need to be shopping here.

My wonderful, perfect Golden Doodle, Kia, started having grand mall seizures all day, every day…read more Nothing was helping and that would mean her life would be cut short. :( My vet recommended Notorious D.O.G. I had no idea why, but they told me there was a woman there who was VERY knowledgeable. I was filled with fear and sadness... Kia was my baby! I spoke to the woman I was told to, and I explained what was going on. I couldn't help but cry. This was my soul-dog. Out of the 8 dogs I'd had in my life, (all of whom I loved so much), this one had a connection to me, and I to her, that I couldn't explain to this day. This wonderful and kind woman understood about my dog not wanting to eat and she suggested a raw food diet. Then she talked to me about a hemp oil that she believed would help. I bought it all. I gave Kia her first dropper-full of the oil that day, and she only had a couple small seizures that night. But in the days that followed, her seizures stopped!!!! She was running around as usual, eating the raw foods, playing with my other two dogs, and was her old self again. And that was how she stayed for two years, until the store didn't get a shipment of the oil at one point, and the one my vet provided wasn't working. Sadly, Kia passed away October 2019 at the age of 12. I will tell you this though... if it hadn't been for the expertise of that wonderful woman at the store, if she hadn't carefully considered what would be best for my girl, we would not have had her for those two years. I highly recommend the store and most of all, some really kind and caring workers.

I am thrilled to live within a mile of this amazing gem of a store! The owner is wonderful! Just…read moretwo minutes into our conversation, I wanted to be her new BFF. This is a woman who LOVES animals and really knows her stuff! She carries a great variety of products and even offers holistic options. Recently I was in there buying a large bag of Orijen pet food (the only place in the area that sells this brand), and asked her about some CBD oil for my dog. Ruby (that's my dog, not the owner) has had some hip problems and shows reluctance when laying down and getting back up. She (the owner, not Ruby) told me about Buddy, the dog for whom her store is named. Buddy had some joint problems and a lot of pain before he passed away. She showed me the products that seemed to alleviate his pain, one of them being the CBD oil and the other being Super Snouts Joint Power. Let me tell you, Ruby LOVES that Joint Power powder. I sprinkle it on her dog food and she DEVOURS it (as if she really needed any help in that area). So I can imagine the taste must be amazing to dogs! I am on vacation right now and Laura's Critter Care is taking care of Ruby, so I haven't been able to watch for progress, but I'll be anxious to see when I get home in a couple of weeks. You should also know Buddy's offers a frequent shopper program. There's a virtual punch card, so when you've bought ten bags (or is it nine?) you get a bag of food free. The second time I was in there, she was out of the large size of Orijen, but she told me that I'd get credit for that smaller bag on my punch card and still be able to get my free large bag (the size I most frequently purchase). She also offers $5 coupons along the way when you've purchased a certain dollar amount. I love that the owner doesn't just care about her customers, but she really cares about their pets too! I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance, but no matter where you live, if you're in the Amherst area, I highly suggest you check out Buddy's for some primo pet products!

What a great, locally owned pet supply shop!…read more My vet is in the same plaza, which is how I noticed this store would be opening soon. I friended them on Facebook! They asked if anyone had any suggestions for products they'd like to see in the store. I commented on the post that I have been having a tough time finding cow tails (I know, gross). My dogs LOVE cow tails and occasionally I get them one each when I am near Animal Outfitters on Elmwood. Last time I went though, Uncle Omar didn't have any (Animal Outfitters is another great FB page to follow - hehehe!) in stock. Buddy & Friends said they would order some for me. Sure enough, when the tails came in, they commented on Facebook to let me know! Weeeeee! This store is in my neighborhood, much much closer than Elmwood. So, since I was on my way out the door to drive-thru CVS with my pups, we made another quick stop by Buddy's! I brought pups in, they sniffed around, found a couple more treats they wanted, including a 3-foot long pork stick. Haha! We picked up our tails, paid, and peaced out! The prices are amazing here. Way cheaper than other pet supply stores nearby! I love that and appreciate the lower prices. My pups and I will definitely be back. I saw some cute collars I liked for them, and the prices were half of what they are at the other store nearby!! Tomorrow is B&F's grand opening. I hope they have a great turn out. This is a really nice, well curated pet store! So glad it's in the neighborhood.

I stopped here after work to pick up a birthday cake and a couple more bags of treats for Cooper's…read more9th birthday. When I was there in November, I noticed that they had a cake that was quite cute. In addition to the cake, they also had a baking mix, where you could make the cake yourself. Maybe next year I will get that, but I didn't have time to make a cake. Cooper really enjoyed the already made birthday cake. He had a couple pieces on his birthday and then as a treat for a couple days later. When I visited Purely Pets in November, the owner tossed a bunch of samples in my bag. Cooper happened to love one of those samples. When I went in there this time, the owner was out sick and her mom was running the store for her. She unfortunately didn't know what I was talking about, but collected my contact information. A day later, the owner emailed my back with the pictures of the treats. Customer service is amazing at Purely Pets. I will continue to support this business and encourage others to purchase their pet supplies here. They have items for dogs, cats and tiny critters too.

Stopped in for the first time this week and had a great experience! My cats are just a year old and…read morewe're still experimenting with foods and treats, so I wanted to see if Purely Pets would have different options than the big box stores. They did! I was really impressed with the service, which is ultimately why I'll be coming back again soon! I'm a relatively new cat owner so I usually spend a ton of time at the big box pet stores squinting at cans and trying to guess what my cats may like. But I had a completely better experience at Purely Pets because as soon as I walked in, I was greeted right away and asked if I needed help with anything. So I took her up on that and asked for advice on cat treats. I appreciate that she asked what my cats normally enjoy then made suggestions based off that. The way she was describing the different treats, I could tell she was very knowledgeable on all of them. I also got a few cans of wet cat food and was relieved they had them organized by texture (my cats won't eat puréed), and that they had signs beneath each that made reading the ingredients much easier than squinting at tiny cans. When I cashed out, she also gave me a few samples for my cats to try, including "Inaba irresistible Churu". I wasn't sure if my cats would like a treat like this, but they LOVED it! So now I'm definitely coming back to buy some more of these! Overall I would highly recommend stopping in to Purely Pets, especially if you're looking for recommendations on new food or treats.

However, the location on French Rd was very disappointing. I don't know if they were just starting out or closing but they only had plants and fish, nothing else.
