| - Products: Petagogy is a family owned pet store (for dogs and cats) that sells products you may not find at the chain pet stores and that you definitely won't find at the grocery store. Their inventory includes all-natural foods, unique treats and bones, all types of durable and interesting toys, grooming tools and products, calming products, and more (they even have vegetarian pet foods!). They have food bags in all sizes to meet your needs based on the size of your pet and your budget. We always find new bones for our dog and different treats that are not available at other stores.
Price: Petagogy is not a bargain basement pet store, but they aren't offering bottom-shelf products. Their food is top-notch with a focus on quality and pet health. If you want something cheap, go to Giant Eagle. But if you want food that will make your pet healthy and happy, Petagogy is the place to go.
Staff: The store is operated by two couples, and everyone who has ever been behind the counter has been extremely friendly and eager to help. On our first visit, the staff recommended a dog food based on our individual pet and we have never strayed from their recommendation. If out of stock, the staff will order exactly what you want/need, and they will even deliver it to your house for free!
Location: Right on Ellsworth Ave., you can't miss Petagogy. Parking may be tricky, but that end of Ellsworth is typically less busy and it is easier to find a spot.
Extras: Petagogy is heavily involved in the local community and organizes and promotes pet events and other events. The owners clearly want more than just your business and show a genuine interest in having a presence in the community. They offer events like pet photos with Santa and consultations with dog trainers regularly and have an event calendar in the store and online. The rewards/customer loyalty program provides discounts, birthday offers for your pet, and keeps you in the loop for upcoming events. They welcome your dog/cat into the store and have a bowl full of fresh water (with some slobber) to quench your pet's thirst.
(+): many unique high-quality products to choose from, awesome staff, and a small business mindset with intentions of being part of the community
(-): the price may not be the lowest, but you get what you pay for at Petagogy
Would I go back again? Routinely.
