Editorial Review for Bow Wow Meow – by Joanna Currier

In Short
From high-end collars, clothing, carriers and fashionable doggie bling to organic baked goods, made-to-order beds, cat scratchers and litter products, this shop carries everything a pampered pet could want or need. Bins filled with pumpkin-carob and bacon-soy biscuits lure hungry sniffers, while comprehensive books, gifts and helpful accessories satisfy human customers. Toys range from affordable favorites to clever versions made from organic or recycled materials. Grooming and training are available on site.

I have taken two cats here three times. The first time was a year ago, to get my ultra-long-hair rasta cat's inevitable dreadlocks shorn off. The Lion cut of Judah. It was OK, but the staff was sort of spacey, like, no focus, attention span, or linear thinking. The second time was for a regular grooming of a domestic shorthair, and he came home with fleas! Aaaaargh. So after a year I took Catty Dread back for the annual shearing, and this time was the last. The front office staff was rude. The back office (which I was, to my surprise, allowed to see) was like the cast of "Who Wants to be a Dog Groomer?" In spite of my delivering the cat promptly at 9:00 AM, they didn't give him back until 6:00 PM, and the lion cut was like what a kid does to Barbie with her first scissors.

not very gentle / too many pets at once / not the cleanest place I went once for grooming and never went back... BUT they have a good selection on "stuff" from raw food to collers and t-shirts, books and snacks for your dog

Pros: Not great grooming

Cons: Good Stuff for pet
