The shop is always well stocked and they have seasonal items as well as a consistent supply of high quality treats, toys, accessories, and more. Of course there's a water bowl up front and they often offer our dog a treat while he's in store. We love the variety of toys and treats they offer. Our dog likes toys that have a ball inside the stuffed animal and they can be hard to find, but we've gotten some very cute ones here that have lasted a long time. We also love that they have some cute wearables for people too! We have been building a collection of sweatshirts and t-shirts that they offer and always love when a new design pops up.

Small business done right…read more Attentive, personal, unique, and dog lovers boutique with great prices. I ordered my dogs birthday cake 2 weeks in advance because better safe than sorry. I specified in my notes that my dog was turning 13. So I wait for the day the cake is due to picked up. Arrived to a very cute, corner shop. Walking in, the store is cozy and covered all my bougie dog needs without having to look too hard. The lady at the counter, turns out was the owner and baker for Leash & Collar. She was kind, friendly, and you could tell she loves her store, what she does, and doggies of all breeds! She made the perfect cake, added a few extra cookies she made just for my dog, and threw in a candle/sign for the top. I turn around and see a super cute hat for myself as well. Simply put, they have earned customers for life. No matter the dog, I will always come back to make each birthday memorable and support a local gem in Sacramento

An Absolute Must-Visit for Sacramento Dog Owners!…read more If you want your furry best friend to live a long, healthy, and happy life, you need to head over to Ben's Barketplace in Midtown (1515 19th St #100). The managers, Decelle and Brie, are absolutely amazing. They don't just sell pet food; they truly educate you on the benefits of what you're feeding your pets. To give you an idea of how much they care: a few years ago, a friend's dog was suffering from severe knee issues. I connected her with Decelle, who recommended a specific holistic diet. Fast forward to today, and that dog is completely free of those knee problems! That kind of expertise is priceless. They walked me through some of the incredible raw and freeze-dried options they carry, and the nutritional benefits are mind-blowing: OC Raw Dog Food & Green Juju Lamb Recipe (Frozen Raw): These are packed with premium, unprocessed proteins, natural enzymes, and organic produce. They are incredible for improving digestion, supporting joint health, and boosting overall immune function. Vital Essentials Salmon Bites: Loaded with natural Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for reducing inflammation, supporting joint mobility, and giving your pet healthy skin and a shiny coat. Snook's Sweet Potato Dog Chews: A fantastic, natural alternative to rawhide. They are low-fat, highly digestible, and packed with fiber and vitamins to support gut health. Northwest Naturals Beef Heart (Freeze-Dried): A nutrient-dense powerhouse. Beef heart is naturally rich in CoQ10, iron, and B vitamins--perfect for boosting cardiovascular health and energy levels. OC Raw Freeze-Dried Venison Pieces: A super lean, "novel" protein. This is an absolute lifesaver for dogs with common food allergies or sensitive stomachs who still need high-quality muscle support. Beyond the top-tier nutrition, the store is perfectly set up for pet parents. They have an awesome dog wash right on site, and--a huge rare bonus for Midtown--they have plenty of dedicated parking! Whether you're dealing with a specific health issue or just want to optimize your pet's diet, go see Decelle and Brie. Your dog will thank you!

I have a doodle puppy and she's pretty picky and the owner approached me and asked what I was in for and gave me a lot of informative knowledge on my dogs diet and even gave her some freeze dried minnows to try when I said I wasn't sure what she liked. Bri was super informative and showed me multiple products that my puppy could like, she was also super knowledgeable and took the time to fully acknowledge everyone walking in while maintaining conversation with me. It's a woman owned franchised location They offer self service dog washes, and only sell clean ingredient products, she addressed many of the customers by name and overall made me feel super welcome as a first time Customer. She hooked me up with some goodies for my puppy Ruby and even gave me a coupon for a free dog wash which I greatly appreciated!

He still knows the commands. We are to set up his Good Citizen course soon--can't wait. We got a good deal for both courses. As far as the store goes, they would get a 2 from a 3 since I have ordered for pick up and they have either given me a wrong item or substituted without informing me. The last time I ordered the ice cream and also some doggy cleaning wipes. When I picked up my order the staff took out my order from the freezer which made sense for ice cream. But the cleaning wipes were frozen and once I thawed it out: there was no using the product since the wipes have dried up more. Lastly, If this was up to pet smart grooming --I would've rated a one star since Vanessa who was young and now seems she's a manager refused to groom My dog claiming he was under medication which he wasn't. I was suggested to use petsmart hemp style treats so that he remains calm which is marketed for said reasons. She stated that's consider sedation and that they have to cancel my appt after waiting over a month. As a healthcare worker and married to a nurse--sedation is different than what Vanessa was stating. Also why would Petsmart sell a product that is specifically meant for calming your pet for grooming--but yet; pets are denied service. In no way shape or form was my dog "sedated". In fact, he was calmer than usual and playful. I find it her service could have been better. But that is why I groom him elsewhere.

As a long-time customer, I left this store feeling extremely disappointed. I've spent hundreds of…read moredollars at this location over the years and have always enjoyed shopping here. During my visit, I stepped onto the ladder that was available in the fish department so I could get a better look at the fish in the upper tanks before deciding which ones to purchase. Almost immediately, the manager, Nadine, told me to get off the ladder. I explained that I couldn't properly see the fish from the floor and only needed a few seconds to look at them more closely. She repeatedly insisted that I get off and told me to stand back and view the fish from farther away instead. What made the interaction even more frustrating was that the moment I stepped off the ladder, Nadine immediately moved it away from the area. The ladder is almost always kept in that exact spot whenever I visit the store, so it felt like it was moved solely to prevent me from using it. I am unaware of any posted policy stating that customers are not allowed to use the ladder that is provided in the store. If such a policy exists, it should be clearly communicated. The interaction left me feeling embarrassed, singled out, and unwelcome. Because of this experience, I left without making a purchase. As someone who has been a loyal customer and spent a significant amount of money at this location, this was incredibly disappointing. At this point, I no longer wish to remain a customer of this company.

She has so many treats of all sizes and shapes. The store has everything dog related from clothing to toys to little dog themed trinkets. Cons: Parking can be hit or miss so I try to go during odd hours.

I use Hemp Bedding for the inside of my duck coop and usually order it online. They offer a lot of products for a wide range of animals from horses to even hamsters. A lot of the items were responsible priced, but the Hemp Bedding was actually more pricy than other places. Overall, the store felt kind of sad and there was one employee just sitting on their phone which I understand as it was very slow and I was the only person in there. One of the other employees did ask if I needed help and looked up pricing for me. He was very friendly. I might come in again if I am looking for something specific, but not sure I would make a special trip to this location.

Once again, Tony saved the day! No one can cut my dogs nails, but we come in here and he just sits…read morestill and lets Tony cut his nails. Whatever black magic that is, I can only recommend coming here to groom your dog. Of course, since we were here. We also gave Max a bath with some oatmeal shampoo for his dry skin. You really can't beat the great tubs and having all the soaps towels, etc., that you need available. We never use the dryer because by the time I'm done Max is already so traumatized and he dries pretty fast once we walk around the block a little bit. The pricing is also very reasonable. The bath and nail trim was only $28 for Max, who is about 78 pounds. I'm just giving you the weight because I know a lot of places charge by weight and that will give you an idea for your own doggie. Parking is a bit trickier now that they've put in the new bike pass, but we usually find the parking space around the corner pretty easily. Thank you Tony!

There's never a wait so when we come for a nail trim we're in and out in 5 minutes. My dog doesn't like people touching her paws, but Tony is so calm and gentle she relents and lets him do his work. I also appreciate the bathing situation. I could give her a bath in the tub at home but it hurts my back and I end up with water and fur everywhere and a wet dog who wants to get on the couch immediately. They give you everything you need to bathe your dog and towels and a blow dryer to get them dry before you leave the shop. I also think the prices are GREAT and very fair. I'm so glad we have Splash Hound in our neighborhood!!

This was my second visit to Sactown Vet, and I couldn't be happier with the care my dogs have…read morereceived. My first visit was with my Boston Terrier, Chloe, and today I brought my Pug Sookie. The entire staff and veterinarians are incredibly kind, welcoming, and clear with their communication. The exam rooms have such a calm, relaxing atmosphere, and they take a low-stress approach to handling pets. During Chloe's first visit, they gave her treats while administering her vaccine, and she barely noticed the shot! She's usually very stressed at the vet, so seeing her stay so relaxed meant a lot to me. Both of my dogs have been much calmer at Sactown Vet. I also appreciated the thoughtful welcome gifts, including stickers, a magnet, and a folder with information about the clinic and our veterinarian. It's those little touches that make you feel truly welcomed. I highly recommend Sactown Vet to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and fear-free veterinary team.

Avoid SacTown Vet!…read more They refused to vaccinate my dog after only a few minutes and still charged the full $91 visit fee despite providing no real care. I clearly explained my dog has some sensitivity from past veterinary trauma. During the exam, they touched her from behind without warning, she gave a brief warning response (no bite), and they immediately stopped and refused to continue. The only options offered were: * come back for another paid visit with anti-anxiety meds they never told me about beforehand, or * take my dog to the back alone for sedation/anesthesia to complete vaccines. I don't understand how separating an already anxious dog from their owner, restraining them, and sedating them is considered more "fear free" than a calm, controlled vaccine with the owner present. For context, my dog regularly goes to groomers and is handled all over her body without issue. This feels specific to the vet environment, not general aggression. I later went to another highly rated clinic and they handled her immediately and professionally. She was given treats, a muzzle was only used briefly as a precaution at the end, and she received all vaccines and testing in one visit within minutes--for a better price. This clinic felt rigid, poorly communicated, and more focused on protocol and repeat visits than actually working with the animal in front of them. I would not recommend them.

I had a very disappointing experience with Waggers. When I first called to make my appointment, I…read morespecifically explained that I have a 3-month-old puppy who has not yet received his rabies vaccine. I was told that this would not be a problem because they do not require puppies to have a rabies shot for grooming. When someone called later to confirm my appointment, I asked again to make sure. I clearly stated that this was my puppy's first grooming appointment and that he still had not received his rabies vaccine. Once again, I was assured that it was not an issue. However, when I arrived for the appointment, I was turned away because my puppy didn't have a rabies vaccination. This was incredibly frustrating because I had already made special arrangements at work, took my lunch break later than usual, and coordinated with my daughter to pick up the puppy after his appointment. If this is your policy, that's completely understandable--but I should have been told that from the beginning, especially after asking twice. Instead, I wasted my time, rearranged my day, and left feeling very disappointed. Better communication and consistency with customers would have prevented this entire situation.
