Bogie’s Discount Pet Supply

Dropped by with a friend who needed to pick up some poopy bags. It’s a mom and pop shop and though the items we were looking at didn’t have price tags on them, the staff was happy to go look them up for us (many times!). It is pricier than other places, but on our way out, the cashier gave us a (what I would consider) deluxe sized pet breath spray which was awesome!

Why can’t I give this place an infinite amount of stars!!!
I have been coming to Bogies since 2003, when they were located at now what is part of Dale Hardware (or in that general building area). I am so bummed they sized down, but I am way happier and so THANKFUL that they at least did not close!!! I do miss their little store bunny that was always around with the «i love my nose pet» sign at the old location, however they now have a very sweet blind cat in the back at the new location!
I miss more mom and pop owned pet shops like these being around. Aman, the president is so sweet and helpful, and goes way beyond anything any of the bigger chain stores would do for their customers (most stores in general). She specifically remembered me after a few months and still gave me a call to let me know an Oxbow EcoStraw Litter is finally back on the shelf and in reproduction after its factory had been in a fire and shut down for over a year. While it was not available, she was trying to hunt down any dead stock for me. Seriously, which company ever does this? I felt like an extremely VIC (very important customer) when that call came and knowing she was hunting for a discontinued product!
Also a huge perk and extreme convenience, I can come in order whatever I need and my entire order comes in with their next shipping. No coming back checking whether shelves have been stocked, as I always have to do with other bigger chain stores in the area (you the ones i’m talking about ;]). They give me a courtesy call to let me know the items are in, and if I am on vacation, they have no issue holding it for me til i’m back (even if its a whole month which has happened!). Also, they DON’T require payment before hand to order or hold your items, you pay at time of pick up. They are also willing to price match, bring in a photo or a store price copy from the competing store and they’ll match it.
Can the service and products get any better? Its like a 7-​Star Pet store (if we were Dubai!)! =]
Thank you Bogies!

Had my first negative experience there on Thursday of this past week. After piling up a good healthy bill Christina walked me over to their little back room food area to select a bag of pure vita for my dog, only to have the owner of the place bellow «CHRISTINA WHERE ARE YOU?! CHRISTINA GET UP HERE AND TEACH HER HOW TO USE THIS THING!» when the owner had seen Christina walk me over. Christina replied that she was helping and customer and the store owner persisted that she should be up front training the new employee.
I will definitely be visiting the small pet store and the feed store in Union City from now on, how rude and ridiculous. A paying customer dropping a decent amount of money should be more important than an employee staying glued to the register. What happened to the ethics of this store? The customer service is fine, but apparently that doesn’t matter to the owner.

Lots of pluses: parking is NEVER an issue, very friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful young staff, great selection of grain-​free, organic, free-​range dog and cat food, they’ll give you a bag full of samples if you’re having a hard time finding the right kind of food for your pet, they’re honest about the products they sell, they don’t push certain brands or «advertise», lots of discount items, they have groomers in the back for advise, and lastly, the best prices I’ve seen and I’ve been to a handful of pet supply stores. This place is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I have an elderly pet with diabetes. I was able to get his glucose levels regulated without insulin shots by changing his diet. However, this meant buying him wet food with no corn (this ingredient should be banned from being included in pet food considering how many animals are allergic or get problems from eating corn), rice, potatoes in the ingredients. Mainstream pet stores have a very small selection when it comes to this criteria. My pet also has a tendency to get tired of eating the same thing repeatedly.
Luckily there is Bogie’s. They have an assortment of grooming items, wet canned food, toys, bagged dried food, beds, and scratching posts. They have Evoo, Innova, Tiki Cat (with its own rack), and Wild Calling to name a few. I had pleasant conversations with a male employee as he was ringing up the items from my cart. I told him about my pet having diabetes and he gave me two cans for the cat to try out from a brand made specific for diabetic cats for free. This small business is a local treasure. I am happy to support their business and encourage everyone to do the same.

Came here for the first time as I typically go to a different pet supply store for my dog food needs. However, It was late and I needed dog food asap in the west bay. I stumbled upon Bogie’s and decided to call in to make sure they sold «Orijen» Large breed puppy food (the first place I called). While on the phone, the person who picked up was very helpful. Due to her kindness, I decided that my search was complete and this was the store to try (I get lazy and the little things impress me). They confirmed they had the brand available and that was that.
Pros:
— Great place with great selection
— bathroom inside!
— they have a little bit of everything
— front end staff helpful
Cons:
— parking can be a challenge
Tip:
— Call in to make sure they have what you need. They’ll definitely help you out!

Love this place! Took my English Bulldog here for a bath and from the minute we walked the ladies were absolutely wonderful with my Bubby. I felt totally comfortable with them and felt safe leaving Bubby with them. They were gentle with him and did a great job on him for a very reasonable price. Will definitely take him back.
Also have to add that the place was very relaxing. Some of the dogs were out and just laying around and others were in kennels, but there wasn’t any barking. All the dogs were happy. The groomers were happy. No one was running around or yelling. Just loved it!

I’ve been to Bogie’s about seven or eight times now. I feel comfortably giving this business a positive review and here’s why:
–front end staff is polite and helpful
–grooming staff are *EXCELLENT* at what they do, even if they’re is a bit gruff and introverted. Being an animal lover and advocate for animal rights, this goes to show me how much they care about your pet and their welfare, rather than coddling the pet owner.
–Grooming appointments are generally booked out about a week in advance, because they are that good.
–Product selection is good, but can vary depending on what your needs and expectations are, just like anything else in this world, right?
Bottom line: Give them your business. I took a chance with them after moving from San Diego last year and I’m glad I did. I trust them implicitly with my dog, Millie.

I’ve tried two other dog groomers near me. They were pretty good but not great. I show them a couple pictures of how I’d like my dog Shadow to look. The first groomer did an excellent job the first time but a mediocre job the second time. I decided to try a second place. They did a fairly good job but not as good as the first place the first time. Neither place checks vaccine records.
Frankly, I was worried about taking my dog to Bogie’s because I was afraid that a groomer that was associated with a pet store wouldn’t be as good as an independent groomer. I also thought it might be more expensive. However, my fears were not founded. It turns out that Bogie’s was actually a little less expensive than the other two places. They also require that you bring your dogs vaccine records. To me this not only reduces the chance that my dog will pick up a disease but it shows that Bogie’s is concerned about the pet’s health.
Bogie’s has more than one groomer. The person who groomed my dog today was Max. In my opinion, he did a better job than the other places I’ve tried. The coat is very even and rich looking. Max was also very pleasant and informative.
I don’t give a lot of 5 star ratings but I think Bogie’s Bath House is easily worth it. I’ll be taking my dog back next time he needs grooming.

At first glance this place is similar to a lot of Mom and Pop type pet stores that I like. They carry the foods that most of the bigger corporate stores don’t and some cool different types of treats, BUT… I had to order for my dog as most shops like these don’t carry her diet regularly, this isn’t what bothered me though.
What bothered me that the food was found on the shelf with their regular stock when it was supposed to be set aside for me. I had been called only 3 – 4 days prior to notify me the food had arrived so I don’t see why it was on the shelf. The other shop I go to that would order her food kept it on hold for me when I had the flu and I didn’t even call to tell them it would be a few extra days, they just held it and were glad to see me a week after they called. On top of the hold issue the food was horribly overpriced, $ 10 more than the other Mom and Pop I go to AND $ 10 more than even PetSmart.
I’ll make the extra drive to go to Sam’s Downtown Pet and Feed next time.

Came here today for my dog Simba to get a haircut! The people working here are so sweet and i really appreicate the 10% discount. I love that the lady at the front asked me if i wanted his face shaved so he would look likea poodle and i said no because i took him to another place before and i asked for them to trim it and they completely shaved it off :/​:(but im glad she asked me what i wanted for his face before i let him get groomed! Now Simba looks fabulous! Thanks Bogies! :)

Very knowledgeable staff and well stocked store. Lots of organic and healthy pet foods here and the groomers do a real good job.

My dogs eat better than I do. No grain, tasty salmon, bougie stuff. Bogies carries the brand they love-​Taste of the Wild. I find their prices are very reasonable. I get quality dog food for about what I’d pay for mediocre food at the bigger pet store chains. The cashier, Robert, is so friendly and sometimes insists on carrying the dog food to my car! :) I used to get a tad annoyed because of the store’s cat that is often jumping on the counters, etc. I’m not a cat person (except for Hello Kitty and Grumpy Cat). Then, Robert told me the story of the cat. The cat was abandoned when his owner moved. Bogies «adopted» him. How sweet is that?

Just picked up Thunder from his 1^st grooming. He looks great! He was his normal bouncing self and didn’t look stressed at all. So awesome!
All the people at Bogie’s are super nice and helpful. They showed me the right way to brush out the hair on Thunder’s legs and even helped him try on sweaters to make sure it fit correctly.
Would definitely recommend them and I’m coming back for sure!

good range and variety of pet food. I always buy Taste of the Wild here for my dog. staff is always friendly and would go out of their way to help you. I’ve been going here ever since I bought my dog. No complaints here!

My family has been going to Bogie’s for ages to buy our cat food, but I never had much personal experience with the store until recently, when I got my own dog. The store itself is quite small, so don’t go expecting the same kind of selection you would get at Petsmart or Petco because you will be sorely disappointed. Bogie’s seems to specialize in food, and if you are looking for a high quality grain-​free dog food that you can’t find at the bigger pet stores, you can definitely get what you need here! From Orijen, to Merrick, to Taste of the Wild, to Nature’s Balance… all of the dog food brands they carry are high quality, none of that junk you can find in half the aisles at Petsmart.
My dog is extreeeemely picky with his food, and will sometimes let it sit for an entire day before eating like 2 pieces, so I came into the store with the intent of finding a dog food that was healthy but still tasty. I flagged down a sales associate to get some advice, and she listened to me very carefully before recommending Nature’s Balance. She told me that it was one of their tastiest brands of dog food, and among the highest in quality. I also asked her a bunch of questions about the different brands, flavors, sizes, etc, and she very patiently answered each one. She was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional.
All in all, I would recommend Bogie’s to the pet owner who is searching for high quality food/​treats for their pet. Their selection is minimal, but refined, so it’s almost like they’ve done the research for you.

I used to go to their old location when I was younger and now they’ve moved here. I liked how it was easier to get into the lot before, since Fremont Blvd is much easier (they used to be on Thornton). But that’s not a big deal, they’re still awesome!
I came here to pick up some dog food for my new dog and soon after I walked in, the lady asked me what I needed and genuinely seemed to care. She was SO helpful and showed me what kind of food was best for my dog and told me if my dog didn’t like it, free return/​exchange! The bag of food also happened to be on sale that weekend and she gave me $ 3 off at the counter, which surprised me since I didn’t even know it was on sale. That’s the great thing about local shops. They’re way more understanding than chain shops and the people who work here are more passionate about this field of work. I’m so glad I came here and I definitely plan to be back!
Didn’t spend enough time in here to know enough about the place, but perhaps I will bump this rating up when I come here for a full analysis next time! :)

This store is awesome! The staff here are super nice and dog friendly (when I go in with my golden retriever). Robert particularly is very helpful to my husband and I, helping us pick out the right harness size for our dog, showing us the new treats (real bones with marrow for dogs) they got for dogs etc. Super nice guy! They also carry the brand of dog food we feed our dog (which is not available at all pet stores). The brand is California Natural and it was recommended by the breeder that we got out doggy from, so we’ve been sticking with it ever since. Little did I know, it’s not available everywhere. Bogie’s however, does carry them and a wide variety of other brands for dog foods as well. Great store and I’ll be sure to come back to get my pet care needs!

Very happy with how my dog turned out. They did a GREAT JOB! I had him groomed at Petco before and I wasn’t happy with the result. They did not know how to groom a Pomeranian. I decided to let his hair grow out then look for another groomer. Saw a photo of another Pomeranian they’ve groomed before so I decided to try this place.
They did everything I wanted, filed his nails, took care of his hair, trimmed the hair near his anus and paws. The cut they gave him looks soooo good! Posted some pics, you be the judge.
Five stars for this place! Great service, friendly staff, and skilled groomers! I’m never taking my fur-​baby anywhere else! :)

Just moved to Fremont and so we are looking for a groomer for our baby, Grizz. I am very happy with the grooming results as well as the price. Nails are trimmed, sanitary groomed, and he is very soft and smells really good.
Look for his just-​groomed pic I posted to see it yourself.
