Happy Go Lucky Dog Boutique & Barkery

Bought a custom pattern dog bed tonight and spoke with one of the owners. Very friendly! Dog’s love it.

The owners branded their shop after their own pack of westies, which is why I like to stop in from time to time. I dropped by to pick up a last minute birthday treat for my MacWorthy’s first year and the owner of the shop was very nice in engaging me in conversation about my spoiled fur baby.
I like that there is a pet accessory store in VF, but I wish they carried more specialized items to live up to the «boutique» name, but I’m glad there’s any at all in our mall. If only the carried the cute leather now tie collars and more designer goods I can find on
, I’d be more inclined to buy those items in store if I could oogle them in person.
If they do sell that Niners jersey in their Unilocal photos, I’ll be back soon to see… =P
They’ve also since relocated to Stanford shopping mall as I’ve been told. I am sad to see that they are no longer located next to my home, but at least my office is in Palo Alto, so I can still drop by and visit.

i don’t typically like to give bad reviews to pet places, but this one takes the cake. literally.
first of all, i should’ve been tipped-​off that this bakery would not be at par-​level, since it’s located in a mall. secondly, the place was kinda tiny and there were few selections on doggie cakes available in the window. we wanted to buy our terminally-​ill dog a birthday doggie cake for her early birthday dog party and so we came here. (NOTE TO SELF AFTER-​THE-​FACT: we should’ve ordered ahead of time from another place.) we were told that the already-​made cakes would «be good for 3 months or so» and would not need to be refrigerated. we wanted to make sure we were getting a great cake for our dog and so we asked and asked question after question. the staff seemed knowledgeable but not interested in our questioning. we also purchased doggie cookies for the guest-​of-​honor birthday girl and the other doggie guests. since we wanted it to be as enjoyable as possible for our dying dog, we paid the exuberant price for a doggie cake and treats.
the doggie birthday party took place the next day. we had family and friends over with their dogs for the occasion. we sang happy birthday with the birthday cake in front of our dog and she about devoured the outer ‘frosting’ of the cake which seemed hard as stone. once our dog pierced the inside of the cake, we realized that there was greenish-​whitish mold all over the cake between the ‘frosting’ and the cake matter itself!!! we quickly took the cake away and threw it out. our doggie didn’t quite exactly know what was going on, so we gave her other treats purchased elsewhere and not from that bakery that sold us the rotten cake. DISGUSTING! i’ll never buy from this place again and i highly suggest not wasting your $$$ on buying their ready-​made doggie cakes without cutting into it first to make sure our experience isn’t your own experience; but by then, you’ve ruined the photo-​opp provided the beautifully decorated cake.

There is just something about doggie boutiques that makes them so obnoxiously cute. I’m not the type to dress my dog up in pretentious clothing, but I do like to spoil him with special treats from time to time. I’ve went to Happy Go Lucky a few times to get a few of their organic baked items (
), which my little doggie loves.
I’ve tried to find a sweater for my him for Winter walks (since he shivers from the cold), but they didn’t have many small sizes the time I went. They had every other size, except for small. Sweaters are pretty expensive too, like $ 25+ each. The staff is usually pretty nice and knowledgeable. Not sure how long they are going to last, but check them out sometime.

Small pet boutique in Valley Fair Mail across from Sephora, near Nordsrom. Cute outfits for dogs! They carry so many, at different price points. The one that stood out to me were the Kimonos, adorable! The staff greeted me & my pup with wide smiles and were friendly and genuine. Yes, they are HAPPY, I do wonder how the owner hires only *happy* people, because let’s face it, how many places to you enter where you get GENUINE smiles?
I have to admit, my pup is too cute to not smile at, but hey, I’ll take what I can get.
I do wish they offered more dog carriers, they suggested one to me, as one employee showed me her personal one — I went back a month later as she said they’d be getting some in, but still not in, and no time of when.
A few Susan Lanci items, I was told they won’t purchase more until their current supply is sold. The pup chose a Chix Stick as a treat. It was about 2 feet long and I went back to get another one while in San Jose last week, but they were out. I don’t know where else to get these, no other stores I’ve been to know what I’m talking about when I ask if they carry them. They do have bakery items, though the pup doesn’t eat those. I do think this boutique mostly caters to toy breeds, though I could be wrong.
When I’m in SJ we make sure to visit again.

I love this boutique!
I never visited their South San Jose location (now closed), but to note any differences, I love the staff here!
They had a few staff members who I miss dearly, every time I came to visit, I was always greeted by two very particular staff members. If one was not there, the other definitely was. They were always helpful, kind, knowledgeable and personable. The owner of Happy Go Lucky is the same exact way, every time I run into him, it’s always nice to talk to him.
One thing I do love about the boutique, which I’m unsure if they do anymore, is they rent strollers for you to use around the mall. They also do holiday pictures for your doggy at a low price, which I also love.

This place has the best dog cookies and
even birthday cakes that you can buy in advance for your dog that lasts a long time. Manuel who works there was a great help! Definitely worth the trip.

Loved the photos I had taken there a year ago during xmastime. My dog Champ walked away with a few treats and a new place to go when we’re looking for a few dress up things.
On the higher cost but they have a great photographer (Vernon) who makes it worth the visit!

This little boutique store is really cute!
There is a lot, I mean A LOT of dog clothes mostly for small dogs.
Luckily for me, my two dogs have a ton of clothes so I wasn’t tempted at all to buy any clothing here! Saved me a ton! The stuff in here are expensive! I mean whoo I would be broke if I lived near by. However, when it comes to dog supplies I try to get the best for less.
Anyways, I came in here for the first time a few weeks ago? Maybe a month ago, the staff (was just a woman) was friendly and answered a lot of my questions. Hey, what can I say, I’m a curious person.
Oh, they have a little bakery and I just adore it! When my little pups bdays come I will get a cake here! I believe it’s about 20 $ and it last for months!
Plus it’s really cute! =)
I just wished the product is grain free but hey; I’m not complaining. At least it’s soy/​corn free. It isn’t wheat free since they use wheat to make the cake. I think. but it’s just like humans eating fast food once in awhile. dogs can have their little cake for their special day :)

This dog boutique store is super cute! Lots of baked treats for your pups that are good for them. No soy, wheat, etc. A lot of clothes, mostly for small to medium pups. The store is clean, employees are friendly. Definitely a place to stop by if you want to spoil your pups and dogs.
Minus one star for the prices tho. Cute but expensive. Can easily make you feel broke haha.

What not to love about this dog boutique? Collars, treats, organic options, plenty of sweater & shirts on sales, great service! Right at the heart of Valley Fair Westfield mall, 3 doors down from my FAV jewelry boutique!
I don’t even have a dog anymore, just happy go lucky shopping for others!

Seriously? Maybe because I’m not dressed to the Nines or maybe because I don’t have my dog with me — but customer service here has always been a miss.
Young folks and they try to upsell as much as possible. I love the treats display and was very tempted to purchase a small birthday cake — but the staff really turned me off. They were more interested in talking to other staff instead of helping me. That and I had to wait while they stared off into space? Seriously?
Amex friendly

Love this store so many cute items. Nice decorative treats. It’s really fun to shop for your pets here. Alex was really nice and gave me and my friend great customer service. The only downside is that it’s a little pricey at happy go lucky! But it still doesn’t stop me from shopping there for my dog’s treats and birthday cakes! :)

This store is gonna break my bank. I just happened to walk by this store got sucked in by the cute dog clothes.
I ended up being helped by Alice who was suuuuper helpful. I bought a harness for my puppy which ended up being too small. Luckily, I was able to exchange it for a bigger size with no hassle. The Puppia brand harnesses are really comfy as they don’t tug at the neck. Since the material is soft, your furry friend will be hugged rather than choked by the harness.
They also had these peanut butter flavored treats shaped like stars. They’re really cute and my puppy was really happy to get them to snack on. They will be perfect for her training classes. What better way to reward your pup than with stars!
I will add that some of the items are priced higher than other places which is why I have to leave out the 5^th star. But this store is definitely worth a look.

I love coming here to spoil my sweet puppy. She loves their treats and their cute little clothes. The staff here is really great and helpful. I know that some mentioned that their stuff is kind of pricey, and I guess it can be, but not anymore than any other dog boutique in the area. They use to have a bigger store at the mall but even though the store is smaller now they still have a good selection of items, and I am just happy they are back. I definitely keep spoiling my pup here.

Chewy and I have visited Happy Go Lucky numerous times over the past three years. Chewy loves his trips to the mall. He can usually be seen eating crepes at Crepes Delight, relaxing in his stroller while being pushed through the layers of clothes at Hot Topic or grabbing a quick walk outside of the mall. However, Happy Go Lucky is the one boutique Chewy has to stop, sniff and shop at during each and every visit to the mall. Happy Go Lucky is located in the center of Westfield Valley Fair Shopping Mall in San Jose, CA. The store originally had two locations but in these economic times and the desire to be «boutique» size Happy Go Lucky consolidated both stores into one. This dog boutique carries its own clothing line that is sold around the nation. Chewy and I had the pleasure of seeing a few Happy Go Lucky t-​shirts at Dog Savvy in Denver, CO. In addition to a variety of dog t-​shirts, costumes, formal and sports attire Happy Go Lucky offers a great selection of dog beds, harnesses, leashes, bags and salon items. Chewy’s favorite part of his visit to the boutique is the barkery. Happy Go Lucky bakes their own gourmet dog pastries, cookies and cakes in addition to a wide variety of gourmet dog treats and food.

What do I like about this Boutique and Barkary?
The staff here is friendly and always willing to help – only problem is I am not the kind of girl who likes dressing up my dog… ok maybe a raincoat but that’s it! ha. Certain things here are a bit over priced, such as their dog treats. However I did find something I was looking for today– too bad I ordered some stuff online before I had the chance to look here. but they had one thing I hadn’t bought online yet which was a Sniffany & Co toy. Yes, it’s cute and perfect for my spoiled pooch!

$ 1.99 for a dog cupcake? It is the size of Kara’s smaller cupcakes and are just as expensive! But they are made from a tree root and not real chocolate. I hope my friend’s dog likes it even though it’s a frikkin tree root and no meat. They didn’t have meat flavored cupcakes. =(
They did have hamburger and fries that was meat flavored. But it was $ 7.95 (more than a human combo meal!). Would come back since they have things that you normally can’t find at a pet supermarket. (I don’t even own a dog!).

This place is cute. I was walking around Valley Fair when I came across this place. I was curious of what this place entailed so I went in. They have a bunch of cute little things for your dogs. They have bakery goods, accessories, clothing, and many necessities for your pooch.
The thing that kinda sucks about this place is that most of the stuff inside the store seemed to be for dogs of the female gender. I will NEVER let Bosley (who’s a boy) wear most of the clothing here. Why would he want a jacket that has a skirt connected to it? Or a sweater that says «DEVIL» on the back with rhinestones?!
Some of the stuff here are a little bit on the pricey side. But the staff here is GREAT! They’re so nice and eager to help you out. Even though I wouldn’t buy a lot of the clothing or accessories for Bosley, I did end up going home with a bunch of baked goods for him to munch on. :)

Wow… dog lovers congregate and unite… wow.
This store has it all. It’s got merchandise, toiletry products, and a bakery. Wow. Kinda like Five Paw Bakery in Los Altos, but just a tad bit bigger.
So in case you don’t know… I have a «fictitious» bulldog that comes and visits me every so often. I love that horrible thing. I say fictitious because I see him very infrequently so I can’t call him mine. After reading Jane L. and Bambi’s review, I decided to check it out.
How super cute is this stuff?
Service and setting was all very pleasant. Gentleman behind the counter even helped me find the right size for Brady. I was destined to find him a shirt, and not a lot of places carry shirts for dogs with big tummies.
Anyhow…I found one I liked and bought it. A little pricey, but it’s going to be so worth it when I see him it. Can’t wait! I think he is going to love his shirt… don’t you? Check out my picture. Pictures of Brady the model coming soon.
