Kriser’s Natural Pet

The staff are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Even the shop dogs look stylish! The groomers do a fabulous job & can even put feathers on your diva dog’s ‘do! I love the selection of foods & treats available. Will continue to frequent this shop!

The staff who was there was a very nice man and very knowledgable. You could tell they have a love for pets. I saw this place while nearby and thought perfect I can get some healthy stuff for my pup. I don’t know if i picked the wrong stuff or what but my pup did NOT like the treats I got. Which were not cheap. I’m sticking to the whole foods brand which my mutt enjoys. I may consider some non food items which staff member showed me but even though they were not cheap my pup is worth it if the products work as good as the staff described.

Die hard forever fan right here!
I started going there for dog food when they first opened. I moved several miles away and would make the drive just because they are the best.
Since moving close by again, I am still just as loyal. Not only are the products they carry amazing but the staff will wow you back for more.
They are knowledgeable about the top of the line products they carry.
They hold some incredible events.
Most of all, they take excellent care of me and my dog.
I refuse to go anywhere else.
Check them out.
Don’t forget to give their resident dogs some lovins!

I moved to the area at the beginning of the summer, and hoped I’d find a pet supply store that I love as much as In my previous city. I’ve gone from the chain commercial stores to different smaller independents, and finally came across Kriser’s. It’s a chain store but much smaller, with a handful of stores around the U.S.
Kriser’s has that independent feel, with great quality products for dogs. I’m a crazy dog mom, with a high maintenance dachshund that has allergies and epilepsy. Oh, and a spoiled, naughty attitude.
Kriser’s carries the specific dog food I need, in the size bag I want. They also have some of the nicest staff I’ve ever encountered. I recently went to a socialization class that the store manager gave, and it was highly informative along with just a great atmosphere. The store manager is awesome, answers all my crazy questions and listens to me babble on.
I’m really glad stores like this with great product and great staff exists.

I’ve been here several times and had a great experience each time. Erin was a huge help every time I came in. I needed a new dog and cat food, but didn’t know exactly what I needed and she helped me find that quickly. I tried one type of cat food first, but my cat wasn’t a fan so I was able to return that bag of food for a full refund, even though some of it was gone and we found a new food my cat loves. I’ll definitely be back here for pet food and treats and plan to try out some of the free classes soon!

This location is close by my workplace and I’ve been here a few times to pick up items for my beloved cat friend.
However, I am absolutely done coming here. I have received awful customer service from two separate employees on multiple occasions. One time, a lady (who owns more cats than I can fathom) dropped off a HUGE basket of cat food off at the cash register and asked the employee to hold it while she ran off to fill her other 2 baskets. The employee started ringing out that lady (while scanning each can of cat food individually), ignoring me while I stood in like trying to pay her for the cat toy I had selected. Seriously?! Only after 7 minutes of me standing there with 100 cat lady no longer in sight did she reluctantly agree to check me out.
I had a similar experience last week when Siobhan attended to a customer who just walked in when I was standing at the cash register to pay. I understand helping other customers, but it was pretty rude to be completely ignored for 10 minutes while the minutiae of low fat dog food was discussed while ignoring us completely. How hard would it have been to point the customer in the right direction and say, «Let me ring these folks out. I’ll be back in a minute to answer any questions you might have.» Seriously!
Many times they have been out of the cat food I need because «a lady comes in and buys 60 cans every Monday.» Seriously?! It seems like you could easily order more than 60 cans then so there is something on your shelves for the rest of us!
NEVER GOING BACK!

I have to start by saying me and my sister have the worlds worst behaved yorkie when it comes to grooming… we’ve been everywhere with him and no one has ever been able to groom him like this place! Super friendly, super clean. Highly satisfied. Highly recommended!

I never ever write Unilocal reviews but I had THE BEST experience at this store. Cindy (the dog groomer), you just got a client for life. I was just searching on a Sunday to find a local dog groomer in the city and everyone was booked but her so I drove out to Barrington. I just moved to Chicago from St. Louis and I cannot tell you how awesome my dog came out. I get him groomed every month and it was jaw-​dropping to me how awesome Rocky looked and felt after Cindy was done with him. She is knowledgeable, has a great attitude and is someone you feel completely comfortable with leaving your member of the family! I have a retriever/​setter/​shepherd mix with long hair, somewhat wiry coat with skin allergies. He was groomed almost a week ago and feels the same with a nice smooth coat and has stopped itching!
Thank you so much Cindy! You are AWESOME! See you in 3 weeks!!!

Best groomer my dogs ever had! Cindy takes care of them as if their her own. I’m always happy with the results and they leave happy and clean.

Absolutely the BEST for dog grooming! I have a special needs poodle and they are so caring and understanding it is incredible.
I would recommend them for any special needs pet!

My 4-​star rating is not without hesitation. Let me clarify– if I was a millionaire, I’d give 5.
10 stars for selection (the most fun and unique toys out there)
1 star for prices (extreme mark-​up; I get it – boutique trying to survive)
Cans of dog food are $ 3 – 4 (compare that to 75C/​can at Costco for same quality organic food), toys are upwards of $ 20, etc.
If you handed me a $ 500 gift card, I’d come spend it the same night. It’s a great shop with awesome goods, just not for my budget. I couldn’t resist buying a «joy stick» for my pup, though; it’s a 4-​ft piece of rawhide: D he snapped it in two trying to walk through a doorway at home, then devoured it in minutes.

I *love* this place! They consistently have my cat’s food in stock (if he doesn’t eat Innova Evo, he farts like a 400-​pound truck driver after a rest stop chili dog… only more rancid smelling), and have unique pet toys that my cat actually appears to enjoy playing with. I currently have three knit catnip monkeys shredded to pieces, & need to make a trip out to Kriser’s soon to replenish the toys.
We’re good on food, though, so the farting is under control. Thanks, Kriser’s, for keeping up your stock & being an overall zen, comfy place to shop!

This is a nice «boutique» kind of store specifically geared to the HEALTHY pet. You will not find kibbles ‘n’ bits, or Iams, or the self-​proclaimed «good» food (loaded with fillers and by-​products) here, you will find truly healthy foods for your 4 legged friends.
The employees strive to learn the pros and cons of each food they carry and can make recommendations for your animal’s needs. If your dog has a kidney problem or a skin condition or an allergy, they can tell you EXACTLY what food will help that problem. They genuinely care about you and your pet.
They also carry an extensive line of treats, toys, jackets and sweaters, and training aids. Grooming is also available.
Last but nut least, they fully support the efforts of the Humane Society’s campaign to STOP PUPPY MILLS and will not recommend a pet store that sells cats or dogs. Kudos to Krisers for caring and being there to actually HELP animal lovers select the best foods!

Great Store with quality pet products and a knowledgeable and friendly staff. Six locations in the Chicagoland area to choose from. Our healthy pups love their food AND TREATS from Kriser’s!
