As I walked up to the front door I noticed that weekly/monthly specials were posted. After walking in I was immediately greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable employee who helped me find exactly what I was looking for -- I said rawhides when what I really meant was Bully Sticks. :) I spent around $45 on a nice assortment of dog treats (they have a very large variety including a multitude of small training type treats), a bully stick ring, and Tibetan dog chew. Who knew?! I believe the front half of the store is dedicated to dog items, middle of the store for cats, and then at the very back of the store in kind of a separate room is the food. Had I not just bought my dog's food, I would have looked to see if they carry his brand. I did notice they they carry a large selection of FROMM foods, which I've always been a fan of. They had a cute table of gourmet dog treats that you could use to create your own mixed assortment. Might try this next time. If you need a funny greeting card, look no further. They carry the Avanti brand, which is my all-time favorite. They offer some harder to find subject matters like pet-loss, pet-sitting, etc. Prices are more than fair. Everything I bought could be found online, but at more expensive prices. Excellent customer service. Conveniently located in a strip mall with UPS and my favorite Chinese restaurant in IC. Plenty of parking.

I don't generally like to leave bad reviews and go down that road. I just move on, but was so…read moredisappointed and disheartened at my dog's first grooming after moving back to Iowa from The Groom Station in West Branch, Iowa and not hearing back from the owner in response to my disappointment, that I feel the need to do so, for whatever it is worth. Not with $20 let alone $126. Here are pics of her recent groom job yesterday. I asked that they keep her long and that didn't happen and instead even shaved her bald in sections and very uneven everywhere. She didn't even have any mats yet, but that was her excuse. The pics don't even do it justice. Update: The owner did reach out and refunded the visit. She did want me to bring my dog back in for her to see (which I initially took offense to as if she didn't believe the obvious pictures but that is not why according to her).By then it would not look exactly the same since I had to do something to try to even things out while it grew out and I didn't want to cause my dog undue stress since I was not going to have anyone else mess with her at this time.. Luckily, it will grow back and eventually be back to normal but would be hard for me to be okay with same shop even with different groomer at this point.

I would recommend to local residents and visitors who are looking for some premium supplies above the huge chain pet stores. More geared to premium supplies for your dog and a smaller sections for cats, it's a neat store that aims to an unfulfilled niche in Iowa City. They carry a fairly diverse selection of just about any premium supply you could need for your dog. Collars/leads/harnesses as well as dog bowls/feeders are particularly good selections. They also have a display case with sparkly dog collars and rhinestone letters to spell out your dogs name. Nice to see a store here in Iowa that can go head to head with some LA pet boutiques. Additionally they have the usual suspects of toys, jackets, beds, and grooming products. They carry two kinds of premium dog kibble - Wellness and Chicken Soup for the Soul. Treat wise, they also carry wellness and old mother hubbards among others and they have a baked goods section for dogs. I saw a triple peanut butter cookie which resembled a triple tier ritz and peanuts cracker sandwich. Bought two of those as well as a couple of peanut butter bone treats for about $3.50. The woman at the counter (I assume the owner) greeted me right away and made sure I was doing well while shopping. The human products looked nice as well and I imagine this would be a great place to put together a gift basket for humans or dogs. Parking is ample in the mini-mall location and there is a nice coffeehouse next door with free wifi and they have outdoor seating for you and your dog when it's warm. If I was a local, I'd be frequenting this place for my supply needs. Nothing really negative to say. It's probably a 3.5 star place compared to places in LA, but that's unfair. I wish they could stock more premium varieties of kibble and treats since wellness, chicken soup for the soul, old mother hubbards, etc are common for mid range mass appeal pet chain stores, but I think distributor criteria factors a large role in that decision. Prices are run of the mill for a pet boutique where I come from, but I imagine locals may think of it as expensive.
