I adore this store! It is the best place to buy high quality dog food in all of Charlottesville! They have a wonderful selection of raw food and high quality kibble (K9 Naturals, Primal, Blue Ridge Beef, Stella and Chewy's, Orijin, etc), super cute and extremely durable dog toys that last weeks to months, and just extremely pleasant customer service. Oh, and very "fresh from the farm" treats too, if you know what I mean, like chicken legs ;) I come in every few weeks to replenish our stock, and the gentleman that owns the store is always able to comment on the pros and cons of each product he offers -- and I really appreciate the honest perspective! I feel everything in the store has been carefully chosen and curated, and in addition, the prices are awesome. I get 11lbs of raw food for $50 dollars. If you go to Petco or anywhere else in Cville, prices are about double that. So check out Crate and Marrow... I think you'll love it too! read more

So disappointed in the groomer, I told her keep the length on his head and ears, and this is what I got! She told me she didn't think he looked good with long fur on his head, so she cut it, and not even a straight cut. She also shaved so close she made him bleed! read more

We ran into the Crate and Marrow table by happenstance at a Pro Re Nata winter market, and they were sweet enough to let our pup sniff all the goodies until he picked out the perfect bone for him! The No Hide bones they sell are made of only the most high quality ingredients, and they actually LAST! A great find. They even sent Tiger home with a little baggie of dried chicken strips on the house! We look forward to visiting the shop in person sometime soon. read more

Can only think of good things to say about Crate and Marrow! They have an awesome selection of high quality treats, chews, and toys - at a very reasonable price. The owner, Daniel, is very personable and makes excellent recommendations. Would highly recommend a stop-in to spoil any deserving pup! read more

Daniel, and Crate and Marrow, is a much needed pet store in Charlottesville. My rescue pittie, Ladybug is a very picky eater and Daniel worked with us to find a food that she likes. Also, the marrow bones are the greatest treat ever! Ladybug loves them! Daniel is a true animal lover and is so kind and compassionate towards not only animals but humans as well. It's our favorite place! read more

Nothing but good things to say about Crate & Marrow! I love that they carry such high quality food, bones, and treats for my puppy. But not only that they go above and beyond offering local delivery. I ordered some bully sticks for my dog yesterday morning and they were on my doorstep about 24 hours later (and on top of that after it was snowy and icy yesterday!) their customer service is just fabulous and I love supporting a great local business read more

This is the first place I go for anything dog related. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable and their products are high-quality and fairly priced. They have a good assortment of natural treats and bones, and are great at making recommendations. I recently stopped in with a question about what type of harness/collar would keep my puppy from pulling on our walks. Daniel suggested that I bring her into the store so he could fit her for an Easy Walk harness. When I brought her in the next day, he made sure to find the perfect size and then showed me the difference it made, showing me how to walk her outside of the store. The change was incredible! Crate & Marrow's service and quality has made it my go-to. Definitely stop here before you consider going to a chain pet store! read more

I went here to find better quality dog food. The employees are very nice and knowledgeable. I went back to get additional food and they were out of the size I wanted. They were getting it the next day and volunteered to bring it to me. This is fantasize customer service and I am now a customer for life. read more

What a delightful find! We are crazy performance dog people who spend an ungodly amount of time researching what goes into our dog's bowl and ways to use food for enrichment. We are extremely picky and loved this shop! However, even if you are a more laidback pet parent, we'd still highly recommend stopping by :). It's the best selection in Virginia we've found by far for dog treats, foods and supplements. The man who helped us was very knowledgeable and eager to answer our questions and provided great suggestions. We'll be back! read more

First: Full disclosure, this place is owned by the same interests who own All Things Pawssible, in case you have feelings (positive or negative) about that organization. I stopped in Crate and Marrow on a weekday afternoon and it was about what I expected. They specialize in high-quality foods (grain free, limited ingredient, and the like). There is a very limited selection of toys and collars - this place is very much a food and treat boutique. Their aesthetics are good. Very urban industrial feel with rustic wood touches. That being said, I don't buy my dog's food based on a store owner's decor. It is obvious they have a very scant inventory right now. I'm guessing they can't invest in 10-20 50lb bags until the know the business will be successful. This leads to a lot of small bags and one or two larger bags of each brand artfully arranged to fill the sales floor. No crates, no marrow bones (!), no food toys. Those were the big holes I noticed. They do carry my favorite brand of bait bags for training. Bottom line? I still prefer Natural Pet Essentials, although it's out of my way. This place has better hours but just doesn't have the inventory that makes NPE great. It's not a bad try and I'm always glad for another seller of wholesome food, but I wasn't wowed. read more

Went here today for the second time and met the owner. This place is absolutely amazing! I am always looking for all natural/holistic pet shops. I have two German shepherds that are fed a raw diet and only get single or limited ingredient treats. This place has a ton of options for chews and treats with great prices (especially compared to other all natural pet stores) the owner was really nice, helpful, and friendly. Will definitely be returning for raw feeding supplies, treats, chews and bulk orders read more

Great selection of healthy goodness for my dogs. Spike and Lucky both LOVE the marrow bones.

We love Crate & Marrow. You cannot beat the customer service, product quality, additional goodies they'll throw in sometimes, and surprisingly the prices! We cannot recommend it highly enough. Keep up the great work! read more

Daniel works SO hard to order food for our cat, Mimi - he and Nicole are always there for me and do everything they possibly can to quickly find what I want - they are the BEST! Annie, Mack and Mimi Rowe =^o^= read more

Knowledgable and friendly family-run business. They really go out of their way to make customers (and their pets) feel welcome. And it's nice that so many other businesses at Stonefield are dog-friendly, so you can take your pup on your errands! I happened to find the shop shortly after Daniel opened it, and I don't think I've bought food anywhere else since then. Whether you're wondering what to feed a puppy, or how to soothe the sensitive tummy of an elder dog, they have great advice and they're exceptionally kind. Highly recommended. read more

I came here a few months ago to look for a gift for my sister's dog. The person at the counter was so nice and helped point out some things he thought were popular among others since I wasn't sure what to get. They had all kinds of inventory, from giant shrink-wrapped bones to a huge variety of natural/grain-less treats/food, a cool selection of leather/synthetic/Charlottesville-patterned leashes and leads for dogs and cats, as well as a variety of toys and other miscellaneous items. I bought a few things and when I came to the counter, the shop person offered to throw in a bag of all-natural food (one of those single/double meal types) for free with my purchase. So sad that I'm so far away from the store - I would go back again to get more gifts if I could. read more

Great store and great selection of products. We are traveling through And needed food for our Pomeranian. Daniel, the owner, was excellent and help me decide on the best products. Will be ordering from him online also read more
