Pet Depot

Been here a few times. Mainly to wash dog in doggie wash.
THE GOOD…
–doggie wash
–good amount of healthier pet foods, along with other supplies
–has a pool for dogs
–easy to park
THE BAD…
–use of pool is a bit expensive (you can get the bath and wash for 28 I think… still kinda pricey)
–the employees that work there should be more customer centric
Overall Pet Depot is the only spot I know of with an indoor doggie wash. Mom’s Organic Market also has healthier pet food options… Some less, some more expensive than Pet Depot. If you care what you feed your pets or need to wash your pooch than consider Pet Depot.

Can I just say my dogs know the words Pet Depot. Their favorite place! The staff is absolutely the best. Friendly and always attentive. They also have great products if you get the chance to look around. The way the pool set up is fantastic. You get 20 minutes for $ 20 the pool all to yourself with a staff member making sure your pups are good to go. In the summer time on Friday’s they have happy hour specials of $ 5 swims. Who could beat that! Kudos Pet Depot and I am sure see you soon!

What a phenomenal place for a dog (and other maybe other pets). Immediately greeted by staff directing me where to go with my questions. I had time to kill and my funky smelling dog in tow so I wanted to give her a bath. I came in, paid $ 16 to use the facilities and they offered to loan me some shampoo.
The wash bins have a ramp for your animal, two collars, a hose with both hot and cold water, and a blow dryer. They also have an apron, towels and paper towels. What else do you really need. I washed my pooch and she came out smelling great.
Then… we take a tour of the building to check out prices. I personally think these places are all too expensive for me (except food) b/​c my dog will tear up the toys anyway. Well you run right into a big dog pool where you can have your pooch swim around with other pups! How great is that???
Please build in Washington, DC!!!

Just tried out their self-​serve dog wash for the first time. We live in Catonsville, but it was easy to get to (and find) off of 695. My 2yo golden retriever is probably the most anxious golden ever, but she was immediately right a home in the store. The setting is a lot more homey than the big box pet stores, and the staff members love animals and are invested in making them as comfortable as possible. The staff helped me move her into the sink, since she didn’t trust the ramp. They provided an apron, shampoo, and towels. We even tried out the dog dryer– a first for her, since she’s scared of the hair dryer. Now I know how they make the goldens at Westminster so fluffy!
The store has a great selection of foods, toys, and beds, including a weigh your own dog cookie «bar», like the loose grains section of Whole Foods. Athena’s looking smart in her newest collar, and she hasn’t put down her squeaky toy since we got home yesterday. Definitely coming back.

I went here for a food recommendation for my standard poodle puppy, who would not go near the food we had for her, which was a Fromm puppy food. The guy who helped me made some great suggestions, and together we settled on one we both thought would be great. Fortunately, she loved it, but even if she hadn’t he said they would take it back for any reason at all. The customer service combined with the selection and knowledgeable staff make it impossible to not shop here.

I like Pet Depot a lot. The staff is attentive and helpful. In response to other reviewers, I’ve never seen an employee there using a cell phone. They greet you and will answer any qurations.
When I go in to bathe my dog, I always think that $ 16 seems a little steep for DIY. Then, when I’m done, I look at the massive amount of plumbing-​clogging wet dog hair we’re leaving behind, and $ 16 suddenly seems like a great bargain.

Not a great location for me as a Catonsville resident, but my aging golden retriever loved to swim here when he was alive. They make all dogs wear life preservers, which was new for him, but I ended up buying one on the spot since it seemed to make a big difference for his mobility. After swimming, I gave him a bath there, which was no good for us. I left sopping wet and dirty, and Gonz didn’t like the water sprayer and leaped out of the tub injuring himself when he fell down on his back. Lesson learned – we’ll stick to outdoor showers and occasional stinkiness! :) Don’t forget to bring lots of extra towels and shampoo and stuff.

This store is unbelievable! They have a huge selection of premium foods and toys that I have not been able to find at other store. You can tell they take pride in this store, as the staff is extremely knowledgable, friendly, and it’s always extremely clean. They also had self-​serve dog washing stations and a pool in the back (which I’ve never seen before for dogs)!
I’d highly recommend checking this place out-​not like any other store that I’ve been to! You won’t be disappointed.

Pet depot has a great selection of natural foods, treats and tons of supplies for dogs. They also have a lot of self serve dog wash stalls which is what I go there for usually. I like washing my dog myself. I like their facilities, I just wish the blow dryers were more powerful to quickly dry long hair dogs.

They do have a large inventory and selection compared to most «boutique» pet stores, but every time I have been there the staff has been less than helpful and seem preoccupied with thier phones or something else. I will drive further (and pay more) to go to Howl next time.

I never even knew this place was here until a friend of mine recommended I check it out for higher quality food for my cat (she’s itchy, and always hungry, so I was looking to switch to something better).
I drove up to Timonium to check it out on a weeknight; it’s a really neat little place. Much bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. They have a hydrotherapy pool for your dog. That’s pretty effin’ awesome, if you ask me. It makes me want a dog. Well, want a dog more, anyway.
Several people brough their dogs in while I was wandering around the store checking out the selection. But alas, no one went swimming. I think I’ll have to go up at a busier time, because I’d really love to see that.
They also have a self-​serve dog washing area.
Staff was very friendly; I didn’t really have any questions, so I didn’t get a read on their expertise. I did, however, talk to the one gentleman behind the counter about cats for about fifteen minutes after I made my purchase. Almost too long.
Great store; definitely recommend it if you’re looking for food and treats and whatnot but want something higher quality (at least food-​wise) than what you find in a regular pet store.

There’s a good chance you’ll drive right by the Pet Depot and not give it a second look. But behind the tiny store front in a massive warehouse building is the best variety of natural and holistic cat/​dog food as well as a hydrotherapy pool and self service pet wash for your dogs.
We went in there knowing we wanted to switch our dog’s food but didn’t have a specific brand in mind. The really helpful and knowledgeable staff took the time to talk with us about our dog and even our budget. From there, they suggested three types for us to consider and even gave an additional free sample bag of our selection since we were first time customers.
We had a great experience and will be coming back to the Pet Depot from here on out.

The only place I was able to find grain free Instinct in the area… they have really good quality food and products and the people who work there are incredibly nice and helpful… they gave me great advice on what kind of food to give my cats and were very attentive and friendly.
