I hate to review this place like a normal pet store when they are really just a low-budget dog groomer but if you are going to sell food, toys, and clothes too, you should really do it right.
Oh Smelly Dog. For years I have driven by you and thought "Hmph, I wonder what that place is like" as I head over to my favorite dog wash down the street (Wag N Wash) or to my favorite dog accessory store up Camelback (Oliver & Annie). Since O&A closed and the owner told us he was sending his supplies over to Smelly Dog, we figured we HAD to try it.
We walk in and the place is a disaster. Dog baths just out in the middle of the store with little yippie dogs all tied up near the door. The floor was wet with pools of water which made it very slippery and dangerous. The food selection is slim...like you have two choices. I like that one of them is local but they could stand to carry a few others. Their toy selection is okay but they could stand to carry WestPaw too. They dog-clothing is pretty much limited to small dog stuff which is also too bad.
The one girl who worked there was pretty enthusiastic and helpful but the checkout girl completely pissed me off when she allowed a wash customer to cut in front of me to pay after I had stood there for 5 minutes.
This place has too many shortcomings to replace the wonderful Wag N Wash. I'll be going to Noble Beast for accessories now. Sorry...Smelly Dog is just too chaotic for me.
