Dog Bone Alley

Bummer! Another great place is closed. And since I don’t go to Alameda for work. It will be easier to find another place.

So, so sad that they are closed and gone. They had the best treats, best clothes, best leashes, best toys, etc. Walked by there and saw the owner cleaning out the space. Said thank you for the wonderful store for the past decade and parted. We will miss you… Tears…

I wanted to express my gratitude for this place and the caring people who run it. I have been a loyal customer for years — driving to Alameda from Berkeley — since 2007. I wanted to say thank you for always being so helpful, and for selling the highest quality food and snacks for my beloved labby. I’ll miss you guys!

I was so sad to find that Dog Bone Alley will be closing after 10 years! They always provide such friendly and helpful service, and they carry much higher quality goods that you can’t find at other big chain pet stores. Prices here are more expensive, but you are paying for the great service and quality. It will be greatly missed!

Dog Bone Alley is closing!!!
I can’t believe I never wrote a review.
Great store!
Super sweet and helpful staff!
So sad they are leaving!

Every time I come here, my pup and I are greeted by friendly staff. If you like to spoil your dog, then come to this doggy boutique. You’ll love it… from the store’s local atmosphere, to the accessories for your pup, to the friendly staff. All around A+ place.

Dog Bone Alley is a great boutique to visit when you want to pamper your pooch (they have cat items, too). They have a wonderful selection of designer collars, leashes in all lengths and colors, and plenty of harnesses. We’ve bought collars, harnesses, sleeping sacks, food bowls, human t-​shirts («I Kissed A Dog And I Liked It»), greeting cards and many other items and have been happy with everything. Elizabeth, the owner, is very attentive and sweet as are all her employees. Always willing to help and answer questions. They also have dog clothes, crates, and bakery items. Can’t beat it for a splurge on your darlings!

The high Unilocal rating is very deserved by this business! The store owner extensively researches and only brings in the highest quality products into her store. On top of that, she trains her staff so that they all actually know what they’re talking about and can help you find what food and products are right for your pet.
Pet health and happiness and customer service are the top priorities at this store and it definitely shows. =)
If you compare pet food prices to higher chains, Dog Bone Alley — and other small businesses — are actually usually priced competitively or even better!

I do not get to go here often its a bit of a drive but every year they send my dog a post card for his birthday and i make sure he gets to go shopping. I have a big dog and sometimes shops like this tend to cater to small dogs but you can find stuff for all size dogs and even cats. Also they ask before touching your pet and give you your space. its a fun little shop

Been shopping here for years. They always remember me and my dog. They carry products you don’t find a chain pet supply stores. And yes, if it is something they have at a chain store it will be a little higher at Dog Bone Alley, but I would rather give a local business my money.

He loved the peanut flavor toothpaste! I actually got him to let us brush his teeth :)

What a wonderful store! I have purchased items here a couple times and loved what I bought, the lasts items where coats/​sweaters that didn’t fit my dog and they returned them without question or hesitation which is highly appreciated. I absolutely recommend and support this store.

Absolutely fabulous place this is! They are always super friendly and helpful. I came here from Orange County and was searching for my regular dog food and couldn’t find it anywhere. Dog Bone Alley ordered it for me and it didn’t cost me any more money than if I would have purchased in the store myself. Love love love them!

This place is awesome! The staffs there make you feel welcome & try’s their best to help you as possible. I would definitely keep buying my dog’s food & goodies here.

I really enjoy coming here because the staff are super friendly and helpful. We came here the first time trying to find something to keep our big dog entertained while we are away since he tends to be very anxious without someone home. The staff was great with different suggestions on toys and even recommended a calming drop. They gave us different book titles to look into and even websites that has helped them. We love that they actually care about their pet customers and eager to help. They have a great selection of products and some very special treats! Our cats and dogs love the treats we get them from here. Oh, and they are a great selection of clothing for dogs and even Giants hats and shirts! So if you are ever in need of any treats or have behavior problems you need some suggestions on, GO TO DOG BONE ALLEY!

I’ve been coming to Dog Bone Alley ever since I moved to Alameda. Though I moved to Alameda in June 2010 and rescued my dog in September 2010, I would visit this store and fantasize about the ridiculous things I would buy for my then-​imaginary pup.
After rescuing my dog, I definitely spoiled her with the treat of the week (month?) deals, bully sticks, overpriced clothing/​dog accessories, and toys.
I give this place 5 stars knowing that it’s essentially a hip boutique-​y shop for dogs, but they’re local, and always give my dog a treat when I bring her by.

Dog Bone Alley is an awesome, local business in Alameda. I buy ID tags, collars, hoodies & toys for my two (well trained and lovely) pitbulls here. They carry a thoughtful selection of these things and the staff always treats me with attention and respect. They also have (free) regular Q&A sessions and workshops with an awesome, seasoned, dog-​friendly trainer who we hired to help us muzzle train our big, prey-​driven boy and to polish up leash manners. lastly – they partner with Pet Amigos to offer regular, low-​cost vaccinations. why spend the $ on an office visit with a vet for routine vaccinations when you can get an adult package @ dog bone via pet amigos for a fraction of the cost? I will always patronize Dog Bone Alley as long as I live in Oakland. Love them.

Dog Bone Alley is a boutique store, it carries high quality products; especially on dog foods. Of course it’s products are more expensive but they don’t carry junk (food) as in chain stores like Petsmart, Petco etc.
I have only been here once, but their atmosphere is great. I love how they let your dogs off leash, many places wouldn’t let your dogs off-​leash to roam and play with all the other dogs roaming and playing. It’s like a dog park in a boutique store!
I have always wanted to try bully sticks but many places i’ve gone are either Petsmart, PetClub etc and their bully sticks doesn’t look so great but here the bully sticks are in a container and I always check the inside of the bully stick to see if it’s infested with bugs. I have experienced bugs in bully sticks elsewhere but I will not mention where so I never had to meaning to try. So, I bought 4 bully sticks here and my dogs loved it.
Anyways, they keep their shop very clean and cute too look at. This is one of the most organized boutique shop i’ve been to. It doesn’t feel cramped and i just love it!
The shop isn’t small either & usually they have a counter for sales items. Especially when the holidays are over.
The only downfall for me is that this place is in Alameda and I live in Hayward and I don’t really go down to Alameda. However, if i’m in the neighborhood I would totally come here!

I absolutely love this store. More than Mochi does.
I’ve been coming here for the past year and Dog Bone never fails. I’ve ordered a number of tags from them — through Red Dingo — and they always call right away and let me know when it’s come in. And there hasn’t been a mistake so far!
I also love coming in to browse because they have tons of cutesy things for your 4 legged friends. Yes, it can be a little on the expensive side but the people that work here are truly interested in helping you find what you need.
I entered into a raffle for fun a few months ago and actually won a cute T-​Shirt with the Dog Bone Alley logo on it. I love it! I wear it on weekends when I’m running errands — it pairs perfectly with my sweat pants to complete that «I’m a crazy dog person» look (:
The staff here is knowledgeable, super nice, and they have really great accessories. Mochi is definitely a Dog Bone Alley dog and I love supporting this local business. Stop by!

One of the cutest local pet stores. I have been here countless times and when I am in the area I always stop in to check out what they have. The staff are always so pleasant and willing to help with any questions and offer advice. There is always new toys, grooming products and lots of treats. It is impossible to walk out without buying something for my spoiled pooch.
I suggest signing up for their email newsletters. Don’t worry they don’t send meaningless junk mail ²⁴⁄₇ like some places do. They send announcements on events for their stores and tips on animal care.
