| - The owners Maureen and Llewellyn named the store after their dog and while I don't see them as often in the store these days, the young people they've hired to mind the store are friendly, helpful and competent. (I think they started out as co-op students from Oakwood CI and now they are taller than me... sigh, kids).
Boubah's is great for everything you need for your pets. You will find specialty brands of dry and canned pet food, treats, toys, collars and leashes (including our favourite, locally owned Angel brand), backpacks, and I'm sure there is more but I only have cats and dogs so don't shop for stuff you would need for other animals. When the K-dog started turning up his nose at the expensive food purchased at the vets, Llewellyn suggested Fromm which comes in different single-protein-source flavours and when you open the package it actually smells like food. Still expensive but both dogs have done extremely well on this food and they still like it after three years. (Fellow dog owners will know that good output = good input).
They also offer dog grooming, which you need to call ahead to book. There are often kittens for adoption in the big cage by the door. They are brought in by neighbourhood cat owners who find their cat in the family way. Adoption requirements are consent from everyone in the house, and purchase of a bag of food and collar for the kitty.
It's very helpful that they are open 7 days a week and until 8 p.m. most nights.
