The Pet Bar

This place was great. Local independent shop, stocked with a huge variety of top line and healthiest foods and pet needs. I was very happy I had such a big selection when I walked in, a lot of options here that I can’t find at petsmart, whole foods, and some of the other stores you may turn to.
The staff is very helpful and friendly. I was buying for my first adopted cat and asked a ton of questions, they were all answered for me with in-​depth knowledge on food, accessories, and other needs. The owner recognized me the second time coming and I even gave him an update of how my cat liked the toy I bought.
They also do free deliveries in the area by phone, which is super helpful if you have an restock emergency or if you’re too busy to go pick up in person. And for food they also offer a 10% discount when you buy a set of 24 cans, they can be mixed from different brands and flavors.
I enjoy coming here to support the local independent businesses in this neighborhood, and encourage you to as well if you’re in the area.

Pet Bar is great — small shop with lots of stuff packed in. Especially if you’re looking for natural treats theres lots of bully sticks, pig ears, shin bones, all the disgusting things dogs love. The woman who works there is always nice and the cat is sweet even when my smaller than the cat dog tries to growl at him/​her.

I love the Pet Bar! They have been in NYC for a long time and they always carry the best products. I also love that they have free delivery. The guys are super nice

I’m very happy to have this place in my area. Yes, its a small store, but unlike the giant commercial pet stores like Petco and Petsmart, The Pet Bar stocks Orijen dry cat food. This food is the best for my kitteh so I will continue to shop there. Also, their staff have always been nice.

When the Petsmart opened on Broadway, I was sure the Pet Bar was doomed. Fortunately, other people also appreciate friendly, personal service from a local store. Free delivery, too. Call them up, and they’ll bring kitty litter to your door.

The best. Very nice people, very reliable and they deliver to me all the way up in Harlem

Pricey compared to my shop in Hoboken (few bucks more per item I noticed), but the staff are very friendly, but not overbearing and have great suggestions! Solid.

Pet Bar is a wonderful neighborhood pet store. Once I attempted to call them several times but my cell phone reception was terrible and couldn’t get through. The young lady who works there actually texted me to see if I needed anything and I was able to place my order via text. I couldn’t ask for a better service. I will always shop there over Petco.

This is my go to local pet store. Yes, it’s small. Yes, sometimes they don’t have exactly what I need. BUT, they have amazing customer service, they deliver, they’re a small local business (you have to support that!), and they have the cutest resident cat that sometimes is sleeping on the computer keyboard by the cash register. Unfortunately my 90 lb. dog likes to try to chase the cat, but the cat is one cool customer and doesn’t seem to care. If you live in Soho, I highly recommend you go here! I think they only carry dog and cat supplies, but I’m not 100% sure. For the size of the store, they do have a broad variety of brands and items for cats and dogs.

It’s scary being a new puppy-​mom. So when I came in here to buy my pup’s first harness and new food, I was, as one can imagine, overwhelmed and nervous. There are so many brands, so many diets, so many things people say their dogs (especially puppies) should avoid…
All that being said, these guys are great! They’re really knowledgeable, and answered all my questions for high quality grain-​free puppy chow, as well as durable yet edible chews for a vigorous chewer such as my pup. Leaving the store, I felt relief– like I had made great choices for my pet based on their advice.
And the cherry on top: their prices are super reasonable. If the food costs within a dollar of the price at Petco or Petsmart (as I found that day) why not patronize your local petstore?! I will definitely be returning!

Sure I’m walking distance to both PetSmart and Petco… but (for me) we need many more great small shops like The Pet Bar. It’s a rare shopping experience in these days when you’re short a few bucks and the owner says, «Just pay me when you’re back next time.» It’s also an almost romantic of-​times-​past experience to overhear a phone-​in delivery order for PET FOOD/​SUPPLIES!
My Jack Russells love the «premium» treats behind the cashier (not like the cardboard cookies they snub at Petco)…and are happily befuddled by the wandering dog-​friendly resident cat – great for inter-​species relations (though misleading because they now assume they can safely walk up to any strange cat for an innocent say-​hi sniff).

Great place! They have everything you might need for your furry best friend! Picked up some essentials… dog t-​shirt and breathe spray/​dog mints. The staff is very friendly.
Definitely stop by and pick up something special for your pet!

They probably have «inside» knowledge on animals here… all the right products and very helpful staff.
Pets are funny… remember thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.

After looking for a pet place by my area, i decided to come here for the first time today.
I recently got a puppy and being a newbie to anything animal/​pet related i popped in here.
Yes the place is small but i didnt mind it. I walked in and there was a large array of items. For someone who knows nothing about dog supplies i was a bit overwhelmed.
A gentlemen came over and asked if i needed any assistance. Im assuming he was the owner (?) he was very understanding and helped me out a lot. As i tried to explain to him my new pet and my non understanding of the different leashes, to which chew toy is better and which cute sweater i should pick up, his patience to explain everything thoroughly made me feel at ease.
I walked out with a cute sweater and some toys for my dog (all for 30 bucks!) The guy even said if the sweater was to big or too small he would gladly exchange it for another size! *bonus points*
i will go back on Tuesday when they are bringing in more Christmas costumes (yes i know, i just got a pet and im dressing him up lol).
great local place. definitely recommended.

Good products, fair prices especially for NYC, great service and highly recommended.

Good products, fair prices, great service and a really cool resident cat.
Highly recommended.

I just moved from LA to NYC with my 7lb Maltese, Oliver and was worried I wouldn’t be able to find to find the specialty food he loves. I Unilocaled The Pet Bar and figured I’d give it a try. It is a cute little store with a great selection of healthy and natural food, treats, and toys. The prices are great (actually cheaper than I paid in LA) and the service is amazing. They carry Honest Kitchen dog food, a great all natural brand, that is usually hard to find.
Mike was super cool and when I told him I just moved to the neighborhood he gave me a «welcome gift» for my little guy, a bag of mini tennis balls! He also sent me off with a bunch of free food samples and treats.
Super nice guy, great service, and affordable prices. What else could you want! I highly recommend the Pet Bar oh and they DELIVER :)!

I’ve been going to this store for 7 years. I used to live a block away, so it was super convenient, but then I moved away (by NYC standards … maybe it is about a half-​mile), and I was sad it wasn’t convenient for me to shop there. I was so happy when I found out they have free delivery! Now I’ll stop by if it’s on my way, and if it’s not I’ll just call and they have my stuff here within an hour. The staff is always very helpful, and somehow they have a great selection of food, etc. (including organic) in their tiny shop. If you don’t see what you need, ask them — they have ordered stuff for me in the past, and I think they have some stock in the basement (extra large bags of food, for example) that they don’t have room for on the shelf.

These guys are the best. They are very helpful, very warm and they have great advice. I pull up and park next to the hydrant and they have my order of dust free litter, preservative free cat food, squeaky cat toys and other what-​not eady to throw in the trunk. I think they are wonderful!!!

Cute little pet store that happens to be between work and the 1 train if I decide I don’t want to transfer from the R at Times Square. It’s a tiny place but they have a ton of stuff packed in there. They carry the semi fancy food I feed my cat (Nutro) that I can’t find just anywhere.
The first time I grabbed a big bag of dry food the guy at the cashier excitedly told me that they offer free delivery in Manhattan.
me — «really? even all the way up to 193^rd st.?!»
him — «oh…uh…well maybe if you buy like $ 100 worth of stuff.»
one day I will really stock up and see if he’ll really do it!
not too bad of an offer really!
