Celebrated our puppies 12 month bday and stopped by Happy Dog Barkery and was happy to see a large array of pet birthday items and "Happy Birthday" themed treats! We got his birthday hat from the barkery, but they had a good range of birthday bows, hats, bandanas. We saw they had some good sized cakes that they offered decorating happy birthday day of, but they also had smaller cupcakes (pictured with our pup) and some birthday themed cookie treats! He loved it! Will def be coming back! read more

We order a cake every year for each of our two labradors from this bakery since they do it the best for dogs in this area. They have various cakes with different ingredients to choose from, along with sizing and how you'd like to customize the look / messaging. The end product always comes out perfect and our pups immediately know what's in the box the moment we step through the door. Highly recommended for those who like to celebrate with their pets, they won't be disappointed! Best, Charlie read more

Happy Dog Barkery - birthday pup! 3 - Pet Stores Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

This place is such a special place to bring your four-legged best friend. They have a huge cabinet of homemade cookies, cakes and other delectable treats for dogs. Every time we bring our dog in, he is absolutely thrilled and enjoys being spoiled with a sample of their liver cake. Their homemade bakery items are the true magic of this place - my dog has never had something that he only tolerates. He goes crazy for their treats and we love visiting Happy Dog Barkery for special occasions and every day moments to spoil our pup. read more

Great pet store! All the employees are very friendly. They always greet you, ask if you need help or a basket, and offer recommendations. To me the customer service sets them apart! I come for the wide range of bones they offer at fair prices. They also have a bakery in store to get your dog a pup cake or cute cookies. Having a dog party or making a doggie goodie bag? Come here for some dog treats! They are currently offering cute boxes they will make and send for you to a loving dog in your life. I asked for help on dog food recommendations because I can't get my dog to lose weight. They provided me with great suggestions and samples to bring home and try. Their email club is great too because you'll get a welcome coupon for $5 off your next order (with a reasonable expiration date haha.) I also love the dog customers visiting the store. The owners often are so social and were offering to let my 3 year old pet their dog. It was such a nice environment for the community to interact with each other. Downtown downers grove seems very dog friendly given the amount of dogs I saw every where while I was out and I'm here for it! read more

Today was my Beast's 6th birthday. We went in on a whim and oh my were we in for quite an experience. The staff is incredible, so friendly and welcoming. They treated Beast to a few snacks and pets. They have a Variety of treats, snacks and toys. So far the best Dog store/bakery I've been to in the Midwest. We chose a squirrel cake, it was peanut butter. Not only was it adorable but apparently tastes amazing as my herd devoured it and wanted more. Thank you Happy Dog Barkery for making Beast's day. So go get your pupcakes from them, and load up on those homemade treats. You will be glad you did. read more

Last year I ordered a dog birthday cake and picked up (driving from Chicago to Downers Grove round trip). This cake was fresh, moist and perfect. This year I decided to order another birthday cake, this time via delivery. We placed an order 12 days before requiring the cake for my pups birthday party at daycare; this order also included a birthday hat and toys. Btw..I also PAID for delivery. Did the order arrive on time? Nope! My pup had no cake and no gifts at his own party. Happy Dog Bakery utilized USPS for shipping (blank stare). Question for Yelp readers-- Has USPS delivered anything on time since 2009? If you're going to offer delivery services at least use UPS or FedEx. P.S the cake looks stale after sitting in a box for a week, very crumbly. I hope my dogs don't get sick! Ugh read more

I've reviewed this place in the past, but, they continue to amaze me with their cakes I had to leave another. I like requesting custom birthday cakes for family, friends and myself. So why wouldn't I do the same for my four legged kids? The staff at HDB are always so helpful and friendly when I email them with design questions and the result is always mind blowing! My dogs enjoy the cake so much! They also have a variety of cookies and stews available! Not to mention a great selection of healthy dog food/treats and accessories. They also have items for the kitties. Maybe I'll order a cake for my newly rescued kitties and see how that turns out too! If you haven't yet, check them out! read more

Bottom Line.... IF YOU HAVE A DOG... BRING THEM HERE! I fell in love with this place on my first visit. There were friendly dogs everywhere and I love the vibe between customers , staff, and pets! Staff are friendly and have a lot of knowledge about dogs and their products. They are affordable when compared to petco and petsmart . I was able to buy two dog toys, treats, and dog food for $45. They even gave me some dog samples from their bakery! My dog loves her new toys and treats; This is now my go to spot and I can't wait to bring my dog with me next time. I wish I would of gotten pictures but I will next time. I highly recommend people to visit Happy Dog Bakery with your fur baby! read more

I LOVE Happy Dog Barkery. It's my go-to spot for my pups pupcakes for their birthdays 2x a year. It started with my first pup Bell and when we adopted my second pup Luna... it snowballed from there . They each get a cake for each others birthday. It's the perfect little indulgence and they thoroughly enjoy it every time. Plus, I enjoy going in and splurging on a couple toys and extra treats while their cakes get wrapped up. read more

I got a cake for my furry nephews 1st bday. He's a picky eater and he loved his cake. I got the liver flavor cuz he doesn't like peanut butter. I also got cupcakes for his puppy friends and they loved those. I drove 26 miles to go here. It's 100% worth it! If you love your dog go here it's wonderful. read more

If I was a dog my tail would not have stopped wagging in this place. SO MANY CHOICES!!! It's located downtown Downers Grove and was really easy to find. The store was very clean and everything was really neatly organized. They had a variety of things here from toys, treats, bones, collars, home-baked goodies and so much more. Their cakes looked like professional cakes you would buy at a normal bakery for people... AMAZING. The store associate was so kind and provided a bunch of suggestions after learning about her breed. She also gave me a few of their special homemade baked goods for Lucky to try. I ended up getting our fur baby a 12in chicken rawhide for about 9$ and she wanted to eat the whole thing in one night. She LOVED the extra treats and you could tell they were 100% homemade. Can't wait to bring her with next time and explore the store with me! They also have fun events that are dog friendly and seem to be very active in the community. Way to go! read more

Dog mom dreams come true! I've been following HDB on Instagram for a while now, and was finally able to make it into the store last week. The store was bigger than I expected, with so much more than I thought would be there! They have toys, bones, treats, meds, supplies, and more. They even had some handicap dog needs such as belly belts. (Impressive!) Of course the cutest part is the homemade bakery treats - everything from birthday cakes to cupcakes to doggie brownies to specialty cookies that say "Go Sox" and more! (My dogs are huge Sox fans so they really appreciated that!) The staff was extremely helpful! I asked one of the employees for a recommendation on a long lasting chew treat/ bone. She asked what kind of dogs I had and if I had any dietary preferences, and when I let her know I had two labs and I don't give them rawhide, she suggested the "no-hide bones." My dogs LOVED them! Although this store is a bit pricey, there is no reason you should not make this an occasional stop to spoil those pups that oh so ever deserve it! Thanks HDB for existing! read more

My dog's favorite store. The staff are always incredibly friendly and have plenty of treat samples to give away. Great selection of fresh or frozen stews, fresh baked treats and personalizable cakes. They also have toys, bandanas, birthday accessories, and more. Best part is being able to bring your dog and letting them pick out their favorite treats. Pro Tip- if you want to order a customized cake, I would recommend doing it a day or two in advance for even more customization options. They don't always have every shape or flavor available the day of so if you want to pick a specific flavor or shape I recommend ordering in advance. read more

I found Happy Dog Barkery on yelp after searching for a dog bakery and I'm so happy we found them! Our rescue pup/baby was coming up on her 1st birthday and we wanted to celebrate. We ordered the cutest cake from them and made the nearly 40 minute trip to pick it up today. The people working in the store were SO nice! They offered Lucy samples of some of their fresh baked treats, and she loved their bacon cheese muffins so we bought some of those. The cake was adorable and smelled SO good! As weird as it sounds, I was so tempted to try a piece and loved that it was made with all normal ingredients that I would use in my own food! Lucy loved the cake and devoured what we gave her. I wish they were located closer to us, but anytime I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by for a treat for our girl. Thank you SO MUCH, Happy Dog Barkery! read more

Purchased several items today, and guess if you don't take with you or watch what they ring up, and check your bag upon leaving you could not get all that you selected. Process needs to be improved, or train staff to follow up with better customer service. Why put on back counter then wait on some other customer. No continuity. Very disappointed as I am too far away to return to collect forgotten items. Used to love this place. read more

Well, recently figured out that Wednesday has GERD and is on a restricted diet before we bought the cake. Not to mention, she eats to survive, not survives to eat. We let her eat the cake. She had 3/4's the cake in one sitting.... it was her bday! She was crying by the refrigerator the rest of the next day for the rest of it. It didn't upset her stomach what-so ever. Honestly, I didn't think she was going to like it bc she is so picky. I bought it for pictures. She loooooved it. They're reasonably priced too. I could have never made a cake she liked this much. Next year I will put in an order for a specialized design. She also eats the peanut butter sandwich's and the dehydrated cake. We have her on a no meat diet bc we though she had an allergy to meats which may have just been her anal glands ... which were removed. read more

What an amazing and caring business. It was my fur baby's first birthday and they truly made it so special. My mother and sister wanted to get our dog a present for his 1st birthday. Since we are huge fans of the dog barkery, they called and asked the team to create us a goodie bag. They usually only do deliveries on Friday or have pick ups but made us an exception. Due to the COVID-19 we are not leaving our house and practicing social distancing due to me being at a higher risk of complications. They made a special surprise delivery of the birthday bag to our house that my mom and sister purchased so he would receive it on his actual birthday! They are always so loving and willing to make each dog feel special. What a wonderful business and thank you for making this day extra special for our little guy. read more

Updating my review to add an extra star because it's seriously so well deserved. We recently welcomed a senior fospice beagle (malignant melanoma) into our home; she made it just over two months before we decided to make it official and adopt her. Welcome to the family, old girl! A few weeks earlier, she (Brandy) received a cancer care package from the Live Like Roo Foundation (google it if you don't already know all about that amazing organization!) and we were subsequently inspired to make a "bucket list" for Brandy. One of the items on her bucket list involves celebrating her birthday; we adopted her on 3.13.18 so we decided that would be her "official" birthday. So what did we need to solidify said celebration? A cake, of course! Enter Happy Dog Barkery. We ordered her giant cupcake online (& a few shamrock cookies for this weekend) and the process was seamless. Picked up the evening before just prior to closing and the cupcake was both enormous and tooooo cute. Best of all, Brandy *loved* it! I mean, she's a beagle and they eat *everything*, but she was PUMPED. Suffice to say, I'm incredibly pleased with the experience overall. And I will most CERTAINLY be back! Thanks for making a special occasion so very, well, special, HDB! PS - if you want to see more pictures of Brandy with her cake (some of which include her just absolutely obliterating it in a stupor of almost delirious happiness), check out her IG (@brandy.the.beagle) :) read more

This shop was so cute and had so much to offer, I'll now be making the trip from the city to DG. I ordered a small cake for my dog for her birthday and a few cookies. My dog absolutely LOVED the cake (and the frosting, we had to literally pull her apart from the cake otherwise she would've eaten all of the cream cheese frosting). She also loved the cake itself. I love how much detail was put into the 2-layer cake. Thank you Happy Dog Bakery!!! read more

I have been going to Happy Dog for baked goods for my dogs since they opened the shop years ago. Yesterday my dog started loosing a section of his fur and being a Saturday I could not get him to the vet til Monday. I called Happy Dog to see if they had anything that would help, even though I'm sure they were super crowded Patricia took time on the phone with me telling me what I should immediately do and that she would talk to Beth (owner) to see if her other idea would work for my dogs condition. When I got there she took even more time helping me understand what to do. The whole Happy Dog Family are friendly, kind and extremely knowledgeable. This is a top notch business with an amazing staff and great homemade treats for your fur babies! read more
