Pet Valu #5446

Parking is tough, but once you’re in the staff is helpful and they have dog washing stations.

It was my first time here & I loved the store! It was pretty big compared to where I am from (silver spring, md) I was assisted right away & found what I needed. The location is fantastic made me feel welcomed along with my pooch & we’ll be coming back here again

PET VALU 225 Allwood Rd Clifton, NJ
Just when I thought I had found the best pet store to wash our black lab, I find Pet Valu located within the neat strip mall near Tick Tock Diner, adjacent to Rt.3 and Allwood Rd, Clifton.
While at the dog park this date, began talking to another dog parent and learned about Pet Valu; right here in my own home town! Went home, got my dog wash equipment (I use my own dog shampoo) and went directly to Pet Valu. The store is somewhat new and kept neat and clean.
I was amazed at the dog wash stations; they are constructed with integrated steps for getting your dog into the basin area. All of the surfaces are finished in beautiful ceramic tile; nothing less than you would find in a custom home. Shampoo and towels are neatly stacked next to the tubs.
Hot and cold water supply lines are adjustable. There are two tethers to choose from. An air dryer hose and switch are conveniently located on one wall of the tub. Safety mats are also in place. This is an open dog bath, not an enclosed room, making for an enjoyable bathing session. Steps are built right into the side of the tub providing for safe entry for your dog. (I saw three tubs against the one wall.)
Both store representatives, David and Samantha, were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They signed me up for their Pet Points Plus program as well as providing me with a Frequent Washer Card; buy 6 washes, get the next one FREE!
I must say that I was more than impressed with this store. The location to my home, the selection of products, both David and Samantha, AND, last but not least, the great dog bath features. I am now a fan of Pet Valu and need not travel to Midland Park again!

My go to place to get anything and everything for my dog. Her Blue Wilderness dry & wetfood, bones, all natural chicken & parsley dried sausage links which are my dogs absolute favorite treat in the world, jackets, harnesses, etc. They also have a self wash shower system there that I’m dying to try. Its huge & looks super nice. The staff is not only knowledgeable but incredibly friendly! Stop going elsewhere & start going here.

This store is the best place to shop for your pet’s needs. they carry some of the best premium and regular brands. they have products that are top quality. Prices are very competitive and you continually get $ 10.00 off if you use their points card. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. the store is well designed and very clean. I always leave with all my questions answered. the Manager Daniel is very helpful and cares about your pets heath and happiness. I recommend the Primal foods especially their frozen Raw Goat Milk. My 1.5 year old Jack Russell has thrived on it.
This place makes Petco seem like a dirty smelly dumpy walmart.
I recommend that you try Petvalu!

With a competing chain pet store a few doors down, this place better be good to stand a chance. Well, they are.
Good, knowledgable, and helpful staff seem to care about what they do. The store itself is fully stocked, organized, and clean. Most prices are competitive, if not slightly higher when it comes to the higher end foods.
While the competition is larger and provides some occasional discounts, I’d give Pet Valu and it’s relaxed, personalized service a shot if I were you.

Well this place is handy. You can come and bring your dog in for a self service wash. They have a few tubs here– super nice and clean. They supply the shampoo and towels for you to use. They even have dryers to dry your beloved pooch off after his/​her wash. It’s $ 10 for the first half hour and that’s all we needed as we have a small short haired dog. I think this is quite the deal. My bathroom used to always become some sort of slip and slide war zone when bathing my dog in the tub at home.
This is also a really nice store. I do have to remove one star because they did not have the bearded dragon food that we needed and didn’t have much selection in that section.
The staff is super friendly and it looks like they sponsor adoption events on the weekends which is always wonderful.
There is a petco literally 100 feet away from this store. Go to Pet Valu instead. It’s so much nicer.

My first impression was, oh no, I’m walking into a boutique. But it’s actually a lot like a large chain store, just pared down. They could use a lot more meerchandise for the small animal crowd (but I’m betting that’s not their main clientele). Their helpfulness with dog food is a boon to their business.
I am a bit leery about the openness about the self-​service dog clean area, so I’ll pass on that.
Parking is horrible, but it’s traffic driven by other big name places (Trader Joe’s, Ulta).

I took my dog here for the self-​serve dog wash. It’s much cleaner than petco and this particular service is cheaper ($ 10) but the wash area is not closed off. This is potentially dangerous. Also the parking lot is a sh*t show.

This store is the BEST as far as pricing goes and if you need something before you get there, they will pull the items and have it ready for you at the register. That is customer service at its best! Mora is a sweetheart and always polite and happy with the customers. I love buying my pet supplies at Pet Valu in Clifton.

My initial thought was that this store would be much more expensive than petco, where we normally go, but at least for the wet variety cat food, which is what I was buying, there was not a huge price difference from petco (this is true at least for the natural brands, which are more expensive even at petco, not sure if they stock value brands much here). The store is very clean and laid out wonderfully and it has a much more relaxing feel than petco. It is also sooooo much less crowded! Staff is very helpful and they have a great selection of toys and pet houses. We will def. be coming back!

Love this pet store! The staff always greets me when I enter and are always asking if I need help. It has a great variety of toys and treats for my dog. I love buying the tailbangers, homemade cookies, for my dog. He absolutely loves them! Not much of a variety when it came to holiday pet stuff, but other than that I enjoy coming here.

I was a regular visitor to this store until my experience today with some dirty looking hippy kid working the register.
As I was out and about, I stopped in to get my pup a bag of greenies. I had my Amex out to pay when the kid asks me if I had another credit card to pay the amount. I was perplexed by this request since I usually pay for my items with this card, so I asked why he wanted another credit card and he responded that Amex takes too much money for transactions.
Dude, if you or the owner doesn’t want to have customers pay with Amex, THEN DON’T ACCEPT IT! It’s pretty freaking simple.
That’s the last time I’ll walk into that store.

Although I left empty handed due to indecisiveness, the staff was extremely friendly and they have a great selection of items. It’s a bit more pricey than some of it’s competitors, but I’m a sucker for good customer service and I will definitely be back when my puppy is out of chews.

Great selection, wonderful and knowledgable staff! The most convenient and exciting amenity is the self wash tubs for dogs — you can’t beat the price and it is immaculately clean. From now on it is our go to pet store. Bye bye, local petco store!
