Before everything else. Go with these folks. During the…read morepandemic they went out of their way to extend their delivery out to me. They normally deliver to my job in Berkeley and they are willing to come out to Hercules. Just a amazing service and group of folks. Found them in SF during pride a couple of years ago. At that point I was going through a rough time, but I still needed to buy something for my pup and I am so glad I did. He loved their food and about 2 and a half years later, I'm ordering their food every couple of weeks. Even through a couple of moves they've worked with me. Charlie is fantastic and Blackwall is always excited to see him. Their treats and food are top knotch. Especially the chicken hearts. I just gave my little son here a ox tail yesterday, and he was so happy to have it. Your fingers still stink but your dog will be estatic.

These guys are awesome. I met them at one of their pop ups in front of Mudpuppy's in the Castro and…read morebought a bunch of things. From all natural kibble, to bully sticks, CBD treats, toys and a hilarious product called Liver Alone* which she now cannot live without, they've got it all. After running out of the goods I scored at the pop up (and the free samples they generously threw in), I ordered online and selected a date for free local delivery. They contacted me the very next day asking if they could deliver my food an entire week early! Sure enough, they arrived when they said they would. Great communication and let's face it, free local delivery to your door is pretty rad. *Liver Alone is like doggie salt and pepper, it's intended as a topper for kibble to make boring food more exciting. It's basically flakes of dried liver that comes in a small shaker. For the record, my dog now requires condiments on her food. My pet's wants are SO sf.

They even have a patio space in the back that you can rent out for doggy birthday parties! We came in the morning and they were still putting out fresh baked treats into the display! There were so many delicious options it was hard to choose. The gentleman behind the counter explained how they were sorted and what our pup might like based on density and crunchiness. He was very patient and helpful. We were very satisfied with our purchases and our dog loved the frosting on her treats! We can't wait to come back to Le Marcel and spoil her again soon!

I can't personally speak to the taste of the treats from Le Marcel, but my dog loved his cake! I…read moreordered a birthday cake for him, and when I went to pick it up, I was really impressed by the entire store. Le Marcel had a display case filled with homemade treats that looked absolutely delicious, along with just about every kind of pet treat you could imagine. They also have a great selection of pet supplies -- collars, leashes, toys, and more. There's even a patio where you can relax while your pet enjoys a treat! The cake I ordered came exactly as described and was customized for Max's birthday. 10 out of 10 -- I would definitely order from here again!

Our visit to Dogue was honestly one of our favorite memories with Brando. I will forever be grateful for the experience. I can only assume the food was outstanding based on the enthusiasm Brando had wolfing it down. The presentation of each course was exceptional. The owner came out to talk to us for a while, and I was so impressed with his attention and obvious passion for dogs. Wonderful place. 5 wholehearted stars.

A couple of other dogs were there including another bday so it was cute to see other dogs; wish there were more! Overall a cute place and I love their multiple course menu that I'll have to make reservations for Jax

We are always pleased with Jax's grooming, and they consistently check in/consult with us regarding our style preferences. Jax is usually anxious in similar environments but he appears comfortable at Bernie's during pick up and drop off. Overall happy to have found a reliable groomer in the city.

I'm very disappointed with this experience. When I picked up my dog, I specifically asked if…read moreeverything went okay during the grooming, and I was told that it did. Later I discovered my dog had a cut that was still bleeding. It was obvious that styptic powder had been applied, so the groomer clearly knew an injury had occurred. What's even more concerning is that the bleeding had not fully stopped. Accidents can happen during grooming, but failing to inform a pet owner--especially when directly asked--is unacceptable. Transparency and basic concern for the animal's well-being should be the minimum expectation. Because of the lack of honesty and communication, I will not be returning.

But they have one or two so I go in there when I can to support them. Today I went in and there was a woman with two large dogs, getting one of them measured for a sweater. They were blocking the aisle right in front of the cash register and so I waited a few minutes and debated whether to just leave a few cans of cat food there. The cashier saw me and said oh would you like to check out and I said sure, but the dogs and the woman didn't move. These dogs were really rambunctious and I didn't want them jumping on me as I was recovering from eye surgery, as they could see because I was wearing a pair of dark glasses and an N 95 mask. She finally asked "oh would you like them to move" and I said yes please. When I got to the counter, she said "you know this is a pet store pets are allowed." At that point, another woman with two dogs came in who were also rambunctious and I just gave up and left.

I really appreciate what the owner Rikke has done with the store since she took it over years ago-it is beautiful and she really cares about supporting other small companies/brands.

Sometimes they will have adoptable kittens so that is always a way to brighten your day-who doesn't love kittens and adopting animals?! Yay for Cole valley pets!
