The Dog Bar

Let me just say, I like my dog more than half the people I meet. That being said, I have high expectations for any place I’m going to pamper my pooch. They have all the best doggie bling, great accessories, and a very friendly staff. Be warned: keep an eye on the price tags or you could walk out spending three figures.

Bad experience for us. Bought holistic dog food for my puppy, shortly after he developed diarrea. Couldn’t make out what was causing it because I was only feeding him this dog food. Looked closely at bag and it had expired 2 months ago. Went once to explain, and got an email address, was told to write to them and explain. I did. THey asked me to take the bag back to the store. I did, but they didn’t have any more bags of my dog food so the employee tried to convince me to change dog food. At last, he called another store, and said it would be there next saturday, and to come back. In the mean time I had bought a small bag of the same dog food because I was out of any food, this time I made sure it had not expired. My puppy didn’t get better, so took him to vet, who said she found mold in his feces. I emailed explaining and requesting my money back because the vet was giving him now special food. All I got was an email, stating: Your dog food is here, come pick it up.”
The one star is for the quality of the food they sell, but customer service and keeping inventory in check = 0.

This place is so cute, The staff is really friendly and helpful :)

I absolutely LOVE the Dog Bar! They’ve got a great selection of food, doggy clothing and accessories. If there’s something you like but they don’t have it in stock, they’ll bring it over from one of their other stores in a jiffy! Although I wouldn’t say the prices at Dog Bar are low by any means, I’ve done some research and haven’t found my puppy’s food online for any cheaper, especially when you take shipping costs into account.
I’m only giving the Coral Gables location four stars because the Midtown location is SO great! If you’ve got a dog or cat you must pay these folks a visit if you haven’t already.

I maybe biasis because I used to work here but love this place. Dogs are welcomed here filled with treats and water. Filled with organic accessories and holistic food. I recommend coming here if you finally realized what crap from Publix/​Winn Dixie/​Petco/​Pet Supermarket your giving your dog. The people that work here know what type of food and what brands are good for your dog. Trust me

I went to this store for the first time the other day, after repeatedly being denied entry at the South Beach Pet Store. Not because of anything except for the fact that they close early all the time.
We were in the area, walking around and I remembered I had to get food for my pup. Unfortunately, I just recently switched her from her old dogfood (that I thought she didn’t like) to a new dogfood (which she also didn’t like). You can only get it in specialty pet stores and they happened to have it and know exactly what I was talking about. I also asked about some dog chews (Himalayan — they’re amazing). They did not have the right size for my pup there and I was ok with that, but noticed that one of the employees was immediately on the phone calling another location to have them send over the ones I wanted.
Super customer service, amazing items and a big selection. I will definitely be going back here!

Yeah … it’s hard to believe, but I am actually a dog owner, and dog bar rules the pet stores. I know, that I will always find what I’m looking for here, and the best thing… I can come into the store with my pooch and give my dog a treat.
My dog likes this store and I like this store.

Raise your hand if you DON’T spoil your pet? Aha, I thought so. No hands. and if you did raise it I would have to believe you have no heart.
As I write this I have KatKat (aka. l’il Douche) and Roxanne Marie (the sweetest Boxer best friend a girl can have) curled up next to and on top of me. This typing is very hard to do, and this is why I feel the need to totally spoil them. They love me. I love them. Period. Both are rescue animals and they deserve the world.
Sure, I can’t indulge making purchases here too often, but when I can they get a bag full of the delicious organic treats they have to offer. One thing I cannot do is purchase clothing for them. Who does that? Yes, yes, I do see plenty of smaller dogs with sweaters on when it drops to a bone chilling 76 degrees in Miami. I will skip it though.
They have the most gorgeous leashes and collars, and I must say, yes they cost more than I would spend on myself but one day, ONE day Roxie and Li’l Douche will get some BLING for their necks!
Service is given by people who like me, truly love their animals and love animals in general so expect good service.

Really cute store for your furry friend, a bit on the expensive side, so plan to dish out the cash.
The staff is helpful and friendly.
It has a wide variety of apparel, accessories and treats for your pooch.
The food they sell is organic/​holistic so that’s def a plus!
Overall, a great boutique if you really feel like spoiling your pet.
I really loved a sweater I saw for benji but when I looked at the price tag and it said $ 40? hmmm maybe not.

I often come here to buy things I can’t find anywhere else for my dog. I love that you can bring in your dog and the staff has always been incredibly helpful and has always answered all my questions (and I admit I ask a lot of questions). So far this place is the only one where I’ve been able to find the perfect harness for my incredibly small dog and a very unique airline carrier covered in skulls. Highly recommend for the discriminating pet owner who doesn’t mind paying a little extra for quality.

Great products for high end, healthy dog and cat foods and fabulous goodies to spoil your furry friend. It’s a fun place to shop and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly and the dogs are always cool, especially Moe. My daughter loves to hang out with Moe and show him all the cool squeaky toys.
Parking can be a pain but check out the alley just behind the store and call them so they can let you in.

A great dog boutique that does just about everything right. I have some high standards in dog boutiques and this is one of the best I’ve seen. Nice to see this kind of quality dog store in the Miami area.
Coming from LA, it’s hard to impress me with dog boutiques. I come from a city where excess and over the top knows no bounds. So even though I’ve read good things about The Dog Bar, I had dumbed down expectations. Too bad I didn’t bring Angus with me he would have really liked it here. Came here on a Friday afternoon and was immediately greeted by Chewie (as in Chewbacca — gotta love the Star Wars reference), one of the employees dogs. I forget the name of the woman who helped me, but she was friendly, attentive, and helpful. I set about the task of thoroughly exploring the store. I had some time on my hands. Loved the way this store is organized and prices for just about everything are clearly marked. They have a generous selection of just about everything you could want. Carriers, treats, leads/​collars/​harnesses, clothes, food, grooming supplies, beds, feeders, grooming service, etc. Everything is here and lots of different styles. Usually I’m not a fan when I see a store try to be a jack of all trades like this bc they usually end up being mediocre on several fronts. But the dog bar seems to have done their homework and about every top of the line product I like is here. I chatted up the woman who helped me and she was more than happy to oblige me in talking about their products selection, why they choose certain brands over others, the owners and the store’s history, what their plans for the future are, local dog activities, etc. If I didn’t have to leave, I could have stayed there even longer. It’s great to see this kind of support here since my family is considering moving here. Apparently the Miami Beach store is even bigger, so I’d be really interested in visiting on my next trip out.
Negatives? You can always cite price, but given the high level of service, I see it as worth it. Otherwise I couldn’t find any, just some additional things that keep them from being the best of the best. This would be a serious contender for best dog boutique if they had more activities for owners and dogs. Hosted pet adoptions, teeth cleaning sessions, food education, yappy hour get togethers, these certainly aren’t mandatory by any means, but if they wanted to take their service to the next level, this is what it takes in my book. Otherwise it’s near impossible to not be incredibly impressed and if you live in the area, it’s your best choice and it’s a great one.

I absolutely love this place. They are friendly, knowledgable and pet friendly. The have everything you need in one stop.

Excellent store with quality foods, treats, grooming supplies, and toys for your dog. Very knowledgable staff.

smaller, spin-​off of the south beach store. miracle mile is the perfect location.
the staff’s super knowledgeable and helpful. and they carry everything from puppy couture to leather recliners to raw food to toys. this is not petsmart or petco… this is for the high-​end animal. bring your checkbook.
