Review from Kassi L.

My dog absolutely loves this shop, whenever we go, he is left roaming around the store, and is greeted by really friendly staff and their really friendly dogs. I think my dog thinks its a "doggy daycare". I love the selection of raw dog food, and they also have a great selection of toys that I have not seen anywhere else. I usually purchase toys from here because I know that they are safely made, and they do not sell anything that is "crappy". Its a really fun store!

A-OK over all. That's really all I can say.
Helen and her staff are genuine animal lovers, which is so nice to see. My correspondence with the team was always clear and informative. The people working for Helen seem to actually enjoy their jobs and aren't just doing it for a paycheck.
As far as the daycare services go: I informed the staff that the dog I would be dropping off was a puppy. FULL of boundless energy and extremely playful. They assured me it wouldn't be an issue, as they have a few "time out rooms" if the dogs need to be separated. I was also told that they only keep the dogs in these rooms for 15-20mins MAX to let them calm down and relax, so I was ok with the concept.
However, when I went to collect pup after his 4th or 5th visit to Wagababa at around 6pm, I found that he was in one of the time out rooms - even though most of the other dogs had been picked up by their owners for the day already. When they went to get him, he was SLEEPING and had to wake up. It was pretty obvious to me that he had been in there for more than 15-20 minutes. To boot, he was active all evening once he was brought home. Not impressed!
I asked how long he had been in there and one of the staff replied "for the afternoon..." and kind of trailed off, obviously he could tell I wasn't impressed. When I asked why, they said the dog was too hyper and too playful. I asked if he was being aggressive or harming the other pets, which I was told he wasn't. "He just wanted to play too much" was the response I got. So not impressed.
- 2 stars!
Yes, as I told you, HE IS A PUPPY. All he wants to do is play! If it was going to be a problem, I would have appreciated a heads up the first or second time he was dropped off and would have made alternate arrangements! (But I guess that would mean lost cash flow for them!)
If I the end goal was to have the dog sleep all day, he would have been left at home. I didn't pay $30 to have him locked in a room alone. Not super pleased about this, as I'm not sure how many of the other times he was banished to the time out room for long periods and have not utilized this service again since. -

Tiny place, but full of friendliness. You are usually greeted by a few dogs at the front door. I love the fact that it's a doggy daycare and the dogs are free to run freely around the store. Somehow, they manage to maximize the usage of the retail space and there is an interesting selection of items. Some a bit pricey. Chinatown has turned into quite a trendy area to hang out.

Nice friendly knowledgeable staff here if you have a four legged pet..... A smaller locally owned store that has a complete line of most required and desired products to keep our family members happy. They carry a fairly large selection of frozen meats. Haven't been here enough to rate them any more.

Great shot for anything for your 4 legged family member. Very good service, very knowledgeable and pleasant. Always a few dogs around if you need a canine fix. Thank you for being part of Crosstown/Chinatown.

This place is the best pet shop I've ever been to - not only do they have high quality products and fantastic service, but they are like a family once you have been there a few times. Definitely worth a trip!

Great new pet store near Tinseltown. They are very welcoming and eager to get what our furry friends love. Love going for a visit or to pick up my pooches favorite treats
