Downtown Dogs

We brought our pup, Tucker, to Hyde Park for some exercise recently and I promised him that we would get him a treat if he was good. Of course he was, so we ventured over to Downtown Dogs to check out the selection.
We meandered around the shop until one of the store associates greeted us. She offered Tucker one of their fresh cookies, but he was so interested in all of the smells that he was too nervous to eat it! But rest assured, I decided to buy one to take home and he did like it. There were a few jars of treats to choose from and I believe the treats were only $ 0.50 or $ 1.00. We chose the bacon flavor and Tucker approved.
Downtown Dogs sells everything from specialty food to clothing and accessories. It’s a bit upscale, but you can find a few deals. The dog outfits were very cute and there was plenty of pirate paraphernalia for the Gasparilla-​loving canines. You can even customize dog tags and buy Fido a matching collar and leash set.
The bakery case is adorable and by far my favorite feature of the shop. There was a decent variety of baked treats in different sizes. I’m pretty sure Tuck is now expecting one of the larger birthday cakes for his big day! I debated on picking up a peanut butter cannoli for him. They also offer seasonal goodies; this month there were four-​leaf clover cookies for St. Patrick’s Day.
If you’re into spoiling your dog, you’d be hard-​pressed to find a shop with nicer employees and a better selection than Downtown Dogs.

I have been here a few times and every time I come in, the ladies there are pretty snotty (especially from who seems to be the management). I feel like they don’t help people if you look Seminole Heights versus their normal South Tampa clientele. I guess you have to be a pure-​bred purse dog owner in order for them to be nice to you.
They carry quality products, but the customer service kinda bites… thus not worth check-​ins or more stars.

Do you love your pet? No, I mean do you really, really love your pet? This upscale doggie shop has everything you need to let your furry family member know how much you care.
From toys & treats, to the best food money can buy, Downtown Dogs has everything you need for your dog. My pup really loved the treats made with natural ingredients. It is apparent that the owner really cares for animals.
The location is in a nice spot to walk your dog around. This is the most dog friendly area I have ever been to. I like the area, I like the shop, and I like the people.

When I am in Tampa, I always find my way to Downtown dogs to pick up some goodies for my pups! Rene and her staff are friendly and always willing to accommodate your puppies every need. This beautiful shop has everything from dog beds and toys to top quality pet foods!

The girlfriend always came here in her college years to accessorize her Yorkie. So obviously, we had to do the same thing for the new Morkie. Great location right in the center of Hyde Park Village. The store was clean and the staff is super friendly. Rene, the owner, even offered to custom make and ship some of the items we liked but didn’t have in stock. The store dog, Mikey, a Dalmatian, was extremely well behaved and made sure to greet the visitors (very sweet boy). They were stocked with all kinds of toys, treats, collars, food, and just about everything you can think of relating to dogs. I’d recommend anyone looking to spoil their pups to go here.

Been a while since I have initially reviewed Downtown Dogs. We have been in a bunch of times. Everyone at Downtown Dogs is always welcoming to us and our dog Mocha Coconut. They always make sure he is comfy with treats and water.
Downtown dogs carries a great assortment of treats, dog bakery items, food, accessories, clothes, beds, and strollers.
Everything you can imagine needed to pamper your pet is here, so you don’t need to go anywhere else.
Premium pet food prices are fair and comparable to other places. Today, we purchased his food called Fromm. Our purchase and our service was perfect as can be.
This is a nice local pet store with all needed for a perfectly spoiled pet. They also have pet adoptions here and sponsor other pet events. All is perfect perfect here for your dog.

What a super cute little store for pups! It’s totally a specialty store though so don’t expect Petco prices here. Nope. No way.
Downtown Dogs has a huge variety of leashes, treats and toys for your four-​legged friend. I love all the cool leash designs and collars at the store. If my dog was fully grown I would probably invest in a nice leash or collar, but that’s a way off.
Although a lot of their items are expensive, some things are pretty fairly priced. Their bully sticks are a little bit cheaper than the ones at Pet Supermarket and they have a bunch of different types. My dog LOVES bully sticks so I would definitely buy from here since I’m not too far away.
Downtown Dogs also has a whole pet bakery which is full of realistic looking dog treats. They even have treats that look like donuts! No word on whether they’re going to make cronut looking dog treats so my dog and I can be cronut twins (hats off to Piquant, which is like three doors down) but I would definitely try them out.
This place also hosts dog adoptions sometimes and does pooch-​centered events! A great shop to take your fuzzy pal to so you can spoil them.

Stopped by today before checking out Restoration Hardware. I’ve been in the store a couple of times before. I had my chihuahua with me today and was quickly offered a treat for him. The store isn’t that big so they only carry select items. There were leashes, collars, pet beds, some dog treats and a few types of pet kibble. The employees were very nice and friendly.

This store was adorable. We were greeted by the friendly dog mix, Benjamin. What an awesome and gorgeous dog he was! This place offered such a great variety of treats, food, accessories for all sizes of dogs. We brought home from vacation some treats and this pet save treat dispenser toy. Sid loves the treats and absolutely loves the toy! It keeps him occupied :)

Bring your dog, they’ll get a nice treat. Very nice & friendly people. Great selection of top quality food, snacks and clothing for your doggie. Great to see many others come here and support this very positive business

In MAY, my girlfriend and I walked in and purchased several items. We also chose a harness for one of our dogs, but they did not have the size we needed. One of the employees (two young girls who were obviously more concerned with their social lives than customer service) told us they can special order one in the right size and that we would receive a call informing us of its arrival. We walked out expecting a call within a week or so. TWO weeks go by, we called the store to inquire about our order only to be blown off and told that a manager would be coming in at noon for her shift and would call us back as soon she could. TWO days later we received a voicemail from a «manager» letting us know the specific harness was on back order. Also, that she had just talked to the manufacturer and the order was being delivered the end of that week, therefore we should expect it early the following week. It is now JULY, and we still haven’t heard anything nor do we expect to from them. My girlfriend was blatantly lied too, we don’t know if it is incompetence, horrible customer service, or racial discrimination, but it is definitely bad business and embarrassing on their part. Maybe my skin was too dark or an interracial couple (I’m Latin and my girlfriend is Asian) was too shocking for their delicate sensibilities and it prevented them from being able to provide BASIC CUSTOMER SERVICE. Would not recommend this place to anyone expecting honesty or even decent customer service.

Adorable doggy boutique. Located in the back of Hyde Park. We were greeted by Charlie {the owner or employees sweet lab} and enjoyed walking around the store.

We happened upon Downtown Dogs while attending the Taste of South Tampa this afternoon. The shop is located in a small corner of Hyde Park Village and specializes in unique fare for dogs and cats.
The selection is great, and the prices are no more or only slightly more than the local Petsmart. Honestly, the unique selection makes up for the $ 1-​$ 2 increase on prices, and we like supporting local businesses. We found some neat things for our dog we hadn’t seen before such as a cool ring made out vegetable leather, and a set of fibrous\ toys meant to act as a floss while your dog destroys it. We also got him a fairly large antler toy for him to chew on for months.
The girls working inside were friendly and knowledgeable. I liked the selection of gourmet treats made to look like «people» desserts – very cute and clever, though we didn’t buy any this time. They had a great selection of specialty foods and treats as well.
We love to spoil our corgi, so I know we’ll be back soon. This place is great for any dog owner looking for something unique for their fur-​baby!

This place is the cutest thing in Hyde Park. Love it. High end dog treats, toys, clothes etc. I went in there with a very specific problem that my pup has with thunder — they introduced me to the thunder shit and told me to bring it back if it didn’t work, but she assured me it would. Love a place that isn’t just about sales — they care about our pets too! Will return.

Fantastic little shop in Hyde Park. It’s definitely more upscale, but the prices aren’t too bad. The toys are over priced because my dogs are just going to shred them anyway, but the treats and bakery case are actually pretty fairly priced for the quality you get. I’ve shopped at other dog bakeries and Downtown Dogs surpasses them all in terms of freshness and quality, by far! I should make it a point to come here more often.

I claim not to be a pet owner that dresses her dog up, spends exorbitant amounts of money on him or personifies him continuously but all pet owners must succumb to this urge some days. This store is for those days!
I just loved wandering around here and although the products were a little on the expensive side, most were handmade or all natural and definitely meant for the cherished pup. This store has a huge selection of collars, harnesses and leashes and an even larger selection of treats. It has some clothes which were a little over the edge but also has practical, high quality things, which I appreciated!
The pleasure of this store is really in the details and I think my mother and I spent almost a half hour browsing. Of course we were in the company of two adorable pups that have the reign of the store!
I was looking for small gifts for my dog and my dog– sitters dogs. I ended up picking a handmade surfboard collar for Koa ($ 15) and homemade treats for Sancho and Copper. The treats are baked fresh daily and come in the cutest designs! The «frosting» has a base of Greek yogurt so hopefully they are not too unhealthy! I have to admit that I went a little overboard; I mean, how the heck am I going to get these back to HI?! they were $ 4 which is a little steep but at the same time, they were made with love… Yep, I’m going a bit overboard again!

Super cute dog store with lots of awesome products.
Very nice lady working store was very knowledgeable about dog food.
Got a collar and a ball to take home for our pooch.

Haute-​couture for dogs? Yup.
I really loved the selection here. The staff was attentive and helpful, and the myriad options are great to peruse. It makes for really fun shopping.
They have some of the highest end pet-​related supplies that I’ve seen anywhere to include custom upholstered pet beds in very nice fabrics not seen at your local Petco. If they ever tape a Real Housewives of Tampa, I’m quite sure this is where those bitches will get their outfits.
The store’s bigger than your usual animal boutique, too, and it helps that they have a little terrier who runs around enjoying things and helping to sell the products.
I wanted to give 4 stars because I’ve been giving too many 5 stars out lately, but I really have nothing bad to say about this place, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone who needs to pamper their pup in style. Dog collars, tshirts, cookies, chew toys, luxury bedding, and carriers only begin to include the many things sold here.

Not sure, but the first review sounds like somebody affiliated with the business trying to get some web promo.
Been there multiple times, it’s simply okay. The dog treats are average, our dog doesn’t go crazy for them like you might expect.
I bought a harness there, which didn’t fit. Tried to return it, and they refused to give me a refund… would only issue store credit. I wish they would disclose that before you make a purchase.
My wife also just dropped over $ 150 on a dog bed. They told us it would take a week or so to come in (ordered on December 21^st or so). We just picked up the bed today (January 12^th). You do that math… seems like something happened with the order.
Will likely take my business elsewhere in the future.
