    Oh Timmie, we reunite! I used to take my dog here when she was a pup. We then moved across the country and back, and have returned to Timmie Doggie Outfitters. I've always had such a great experience here and the owner is super friendly. I bought an adorable striped sweater that has lasted for years, leather collars and other goods, and have always been happy with the quality and cute compliments from strangers.

    The only downside is when my dog gets freaked out being carried downstairs for her nail trim, but she quickly forgets her fear when she comes back upstairs looking sharp (no pun intended) and is treated to a mustache-shaped cookie.

    It's not often that I am looking for a birthday present for a pug, but, you know, it happens. A quick Yelp search for "gift" and "dog" led me to Timmie Doggie Outfitters just across from Trinity Bellwoods Park. It's a colourful spot, absolutely littered (eh?) with dog-related goodies. I had come to the right place.

    Though I am not a dog owner myself, I have to say the selection was impressive. There were items for dogs and cats alike. Doghousewares, pet couture, beauty supplies and house-made treats. I scooped out a selection of moustache-shaped beef treats topped with yogurt and carob. I can't believe I know this.

    Anyway, seems like a great spot for a fancy gift for your beloved pet. I think the prices here are a bit out of line for every day shopping, but you can certainly find something for that special somedoggy in your life.

    Obligatory Title Pun: Give your DOG more than a BONE.

    Menu Readability: The owners are actually former designers. This explains a lot.

    Need to mention: Happy fourth birthday, George.

    What this place teaches me about myself: Woof.

    Worst dog grooming experience of my life!  I've had dogs for over 15 years  so this is quite a title to be earned.  I have two dogs, a puppy and an older guy. After she didn't finish the old dog's nails (I even expressed unhappiness when picking the dogs up but she didn't fix it... but did offer a $5 discount) I ended up having to take my puppy to the vet because she cut him and it got infected (which is the first time I've ever had to take my dog to the vet because of a grooming experience). Needless to say, after getting their nails fixed elsewhere and the vet vet bill cleared, it was by far the most expensive grooming I've ever experienced! Don't go there.

    Timmie Doggie Outfitters for sure is an great stores to buy some doggie outfits for your beloved ones!

    The selections here are great as I have not yet seen another other pet supplies stores have such huge selections in clothings!

    Of course they are not cheap but at least they are quality items.

    BTW, they also carries gourmet cookies just like Bark and Fitz..

    If you have friends that loves their dog so much... Timmie Doggie Outfitters will be an awesome place to get gifts from! (hint hint hint!)

    This is THE place to go for spending a ridiculous amount of money to outfit your dog.  Coach collars, designer duds and gourmet grub can all be had here, for a price!
    I do come here because they have an excellent selection of quality foods, and are one of the only places in the neighbourhood to purchase Acana food.  I did also buy a rather expensive coat here for my tiny, frozen friend this winter, and we received great service and help sizing up my pup.  Yes, it was pricey, but it was well worth keeping my little buddy warm and dry.

    Wonderful Doggie Clothing and Grooming location at Bellwoods Park and Queen Street.  Superb Selection of Doggie care items.
    The staff was delightful, pleasant and suggestive of alternative clothing choices for our new Toy Yorkie,  Lexi the Wonderdog. Apart from future value coupons the Owners also had a handful of treats to tempt the canine customers.  Wonderful Sunday afternoon Living in Toronto.

    Thank you

    Sure, there are dog clothes here, but there's also a ton of other things for your pampered pooch. They carry top quality, premium (e.g. grain-free) food, and have a great selection of leashes, collars, harnesses, treats, and toys. I have short-haired French Bulldogs that don't require fancy grooming, so I can't speak for their grooming services, but they have a nice stock of shampoos and conditioners to keep your pet smelling fresh n' clean if you bathe your dogs at home.

    Prices are a little high -- a large bag of my dogs' preferred kibble, Acana Pacifica, is about $10 more than I've typically paid for it, but I'm happy to pay the extra in order to support an independent pet shop.

    Wow.  Mike S. has a very different take on Timmie's than I do.

    Timmie's offers top of the line food, gear and treats for both dogs AND cats.  If you are someone that doesn't want to feed rendered cats and dogs to your cat or dog, then I highly recommend this shop.  He carries foods that are human grade and also supports special diets.  I actually didn't know there was a no grain dry cat food on the market.  He carries Wellness and a variety of other wonderful foods.  The owner is present and wonderfully warm and wants to bring things in that his clientele are looking for.  Brilliant.  I won't go anywhere else for food and treats on the East End.

    I just picked up a cute bat outfit here for my pug for Halloween.  Lots of cute costumes but all small sizes.  My small pug wouldn't fit into most of them.  I encouraged the owner to think 'big' for next year!

    Most excellent little boutique for keeping your bestie in the latest fashions. Besides that, they have all of the practical items you'll need, including a solution called Eye Envy for removing doggie tear stains from around the eyes. I've purchased several of these products, and this has been the best by far. Also the priciest, but I can't complain as it will get used rather than tossed like all of the others.

    I also picked up some doggie boots to keep the salt off the paws and had my eye on a nice sweater. Unfortunately, my pooch (an avowed nudist, apparently) acted like this comfy little sweater was some kind of gnarly, burlap straightjacket. I was so happy that he sat still for the boot fitting that I chose not to press my luck any further. Now when he's cold, I make sure to remind him that somewhere, some other dog is positively snuggly in the sweater that should have been his. :)

    Timmies on Queen EAST in Leslieville

    It's a great place to have your dog groomed and pampered.  They do a really good job at a reasonable price, and are always very courteous and friendly.  They have a huge array of products and a lot of them are even eco-friendly and locally sourced.  

    I have 2 small dogs, and as much as I am not a fan of dressing them up like Barbie Dolls, I recognize the need for warmth for their little bodies, and Timmie's has a great selection of outerwear for your pooch.

    I've only been to this store once, but for anyone with a large or extra large short hair dog, this is one of the few places we've found in the city that have coats that are functional (nice and plain too) and really big enough for them, as well as boots to protect from salt etc in the winter.

    this store is a place where you can purchase items to both pamper your animals and yourself and provide them with healthier food for a longer and stronger life.

    there are many clothes you can buy for your pet, and though i think that there is no purpose for animal clothes; it is quite silly and a waste of money, there surely isnt anything harmful involved in them whatsoever - animals have no ego to be bruised and they couldnt care less either way. boots or booties as you might prefer to call them DO  have a purpose.  one company called PAWZ, which they carry, provide simple boots made of natural rubber thats are disposable, reusable and biodegradable.  these things are great to protect dogs paws against all the crap that lines our lawns and streets like pesticides, salt and so on.  we dont lick our feet to clean ourselves but animals do, so they ingest it - smart, conscious and logical.

    the food they sell is top of the line; its like anything else, if you care about the food you put in yourself, in a child if you have one, youll do the same for your pet.  its probably the smarter thing to do anyhow - less chance of disease, means less chance of vet bills.  i buy wellness for my cats and they have a higher quality of wellness food for the cats thats without grain, a little more expensive, but supposedly the cats will need to eat less of it.  its definitely worth a try (though my cats are piggies in disguise).

    i also spotted a cat litter box that ive seen before, selling for about 50 bucks, thats a large dome where there is long staircase that leads up the pooping area.  this is good in theory because the space is large enough for potentially finicky cats (and which one is not?) and the staircase is studded with bumps to help eliminate all the litter from their paws and keep it inside the dome and not on your floor.

    of course there are other toys, snacks and gourmet "cookies" that though theyre probably filled with high quality ingredients, im sure your cat or dog couldnt care less how pretty it is.  if youd like to have your pets food dishes be more than utilitarian in style then you can choose from simple classier designs to hold bowls or maybe a pillow/bed for your pet (god knows i should have gotten my cats used to something like that from the start and i wouldnt have to get hair off of everything!).

    theyre stock is vast, intelligent, colourful and surely over-the-top on some accounts but overall beneficial.

    Love the selection there - The have great sweaters and coats for big dogs.  Good selection of unique toys such as 'sushi' squeak toy, baked treats, and other fun items to pamper your dog with.  They carry quality products and the staff is very friendly, helpful and ready with treats!
