Dogadillo

I absolutely love spoiling my dog (and myself) so I was thrilled to see a dog boutique in the Galleria. Sadly, I’m generally unimpressed by dogadillo especially compared to the other dog boutiques I’ve been to in other cities.
They don’t do grooming, have an in house bakery or stand behind their products. These are all things I find crucial when I’m paying premium prices. Instead they have a limited selection, and disinterested and unknowledgable staff.
Without a doubt they have a few cute things, like dog dresses, but in my opinion they need to step their game up if they want to stay in business.

My husband and I went to this store today (with our dog), to find chew toys. I had heard that they had different strength chew toys, and that they were a great store. We entered the store first thing in the morning. The person working there asked us what we needed. I explained that I wanted something that was tough for chewing. She asked if we wanted something for play or just for chewing. I said ‘both’! I was ready to buy something that may last! When I said ‘both’, I think the person working there actually snickered at me??? I just told her, ‘can you show me what you have?’ and she was like…‘well, there is this and then this one’. I immediately felt like I needed to make a decision and get out. It was weird. I didn’t feel welcome at all in that store! I wonder how long it will last. I did end up buying a very expensive antler… but that was it. Oh and did I mention that she never acknowledged my dog? Usually, I would think if you worked in a dog store, you would like dogs??? I can’t even walk down the street without someone wanting to pet her! she is a sweet 11 month old pup… Anyway. I won’t go back there… Tomlinson’s has much better customer service, lot’s of chew toys and a big selection of foods.

We have bought several very expensive dog collars at this store, 5 to be exact and each collar was roughly $ 75. These collars were purchased not only for our dogs past and present but for family as gifts. The last collar we got for our new puppy who was not full grown yet. Once we realized she was done growing we tried the collar on her only to realize that the collar was 2 inches too big for her. We live in Washington state so it took us a while to get back down to Austin, right about a year. We went into the shop to try and exchange our collar for one that fit and we were told no. Then after some calls back and forth with the owner she offered us 50% of the original cost back for the collar in store credit meaning we would have to spend an additional $ 40 or more. Dollars to get our dog a collar. This is bad business and not how you treat repeat customers. Not to mention they have raised the prices by a pretty noticeable percent. We will not be shopping there again, the same collars can be bought online for half the price we just wanted to support the small store in Austin.

They welcome my dog with open arms. Even let her try on clothes. This place is great

This is one classy dog shop! They have higher end dog products which are a bit pricey and the selection is a bit small (hence the 4 stars), but, I still love shopping here anyway. I went to one of their yappy hours which was fun for both me and my dog too!

We dropped in with the dog on our way through the Hill Country Galleria. They had some interesting items, a decent selection of food, and baked dog treats. It was okay, but I couldn’t help think about how much cheaper stuff might be at the Petsmart on the other side of 71 the whole time I was there. I don’t know if the dog food was a good deal, but I’d like to check it out. But finding yet another place to go during the week doesn’t hit the top of my list.

I really liked this place and the older woman who was working the register was Sooo helpful. However as I was checking out a woman came in who I presumed worked there since she went behind the counter as well and she was Sooo RUDE! Didn’t even acknowledge me being there and when the older woman asked a yogurt frosting she snapped at her. Come to find out it was the owner of the shop. I will not be back.

Dogadillo is my pugs favorite place to visit. I feel for them since they must be struggling in this Godforsaken economy as the first thing we cut from our budget was the $ 3 per can habit our pugs had developed. However, the owners and staff are wonderful and they have an array for fun toys, bedding and clothing for dogs of all sizes. They even host monthly Yappy hours.
I can’t wait for the economy to pick back up as they truly have a superior selection of quality dog food and I know that’s what has kept my 10 year old pug moving and shakin’ like a 3 year old.

I work across the street and really love this place. It’s out of my price range but I went in to look around. The woman asked if I was looking for something and I said my dog loves the little plush toys but always tears them apart in about a minute, never mind all the stuffing I have to clean up. She suggested Tuffies, a brand of soft, durable dog toys that are pretty indestructable. It changed our lives forever:)

I forgot about this place until I read Tara’s review… I went here when it first opened, way before I Unilocaled, and have been there a few times since their grand opening.
My beagle, Buckley, won 2^nd place for his Underdog costume last year, and he also got a basket of goodies from Dogadillo!
He also got a gift certificate for here, so we got to go back!
He loves the treats and the toys he got from there. The prices are reasonable for pet products, and the staff is so much fun!
I wanted to take off a star only because I cannot always go there, and, UNFORTUNATELY, it is out of the way for me, but cannot do it because they were so wonderful to my beagles.
Thank you, Dogadillo and I hope we can go to the Howloween this year, too!

It’s official even my dog thinks I have gone «Dog Gone Crazy»! I took her shopping today in the Hill Country Galleria and popped into Dogadillo. I purchased what I thought my pup would love — Doggy IncrediBubbles «Everlasting, Fun Bubbles for your Pup Bubbles land without Popping Dogs Love Chasing Bubbles! Peach Flavored!
We get home and I start blowing bubbles. These bubbles are awesome they are landing on all my veggie plants without bursting I can catch and hold them and I feel like a Fairy in my garden as these magical bubbles are floating around. My pup is waiting at the back door looking over her shoulder at me like I am crazy.
Everyone who works here is a full 5 stars!
And they have some of the best looking Doggie Halloween costumes I have seen anywhere!

Stop by this dog boutique and visit beautiful Vizslas Biscuit and Bella! This place is a little pricey but offers a great selection of unique toys and treats. Last time I was there I picked up a Nylabone puzzle toy that I had never seen at Petsmart or Petco… my lab/​vizsla mix loves it!
