Wet Nose

Kate Spade is to me as Wet Nose is to my pup Stella. Ya dig?
This place is a such a gem. If you love your dog and love to pamper them with the best products then Wet Nose is where it’s at. They sell quality food, bones, toys, and everything in between.
The staff is super friendly and helpful. The woman who was helping me made suggestions on bully sticks, explained the different Antlers, informed me on the collars I was looking at, and even let me know they have a Wet Nose location in Geneva which is closer to my house!
My rating for Wet Nose is really a 4.5 and the only reason I can’t give it a full 5 stars is because of the price. I saw an adorable pink collar with a bow that I would have loved to get for my Stella but it was $ 52. You read right…5−2. That is outrageous to me. I was told it was hand made, but still that’s steep. Everything else was pretty pricey as well. I mean I know the quality is definitely there, but I just can’t justify some of the prices.
I ended up finding a great 12 inch bully stick for only $ 5 though and my dog loved it! Wet Nose unfortunately cannot be my regular spot for doggy goods, but for special items or occasions for sure.

I had an absolutely amazing first-​time experience at Wet Nose tonight! The employees were incredibly helpful in assisting me to pick out the proper supplies for my new kitten I’m adopting! They also got me signed up for a rewards card and gave me a package of free samples. Not only that, but they were genuinely interested in my new kitten and want me to bring him in to visit! Such a great place!

I discovered Wet Nose about 3 years ago and now make monthly visits, specifically to their Chew Bar. Great how they have the Bar set up like a candy store and indicators of how «chewiness» the item is.
The majority of the staff there is great; super friendly and helpful. However on more than one occasion I have run into a not so friendly staff member; just not helpful and lacking customer service. The only other complaint I would have is their Facebook page. They will promote an event or run a contest and when you post a question, they ALWAYS post it back to their Facebook «friends» to answer and then you really never get your question answered. So that has been an odd and frustrating experience.
Overall fun little boutique to find healthy and unique pet treats, definitely worth a trip!

Them is store is outstanding… Great customer service and employees!!!
Make sure too bring your dog and them pick their own treats… it’s a surprisingly entertaining how picky your pet maybe. They will let your dog try everything before you buy.
We take our dog here every Xmas and for his birthday.
It is a bit pricey but definately worth it.

Since I’m a pretty obsessed dog mom, I signed my pups up for Bears pictures that were being taken at their daycare. I wanted them to rock some Bears swag in their pics, so I was on the hunt for some kind of shirt or bandana for them to wear. I went to Petco assuming they might have something, but no. I had seen an ad for Wet Nose in a local magazine and knew they had a location in Oak Brook, even though I’d never seen it. Turns out, they’re in the Oak Brook «promenade,» a group of businesses along Butterfield, before you get to Yorktown Mall if you’re going west.
It was Monday evening, so there weren’t any customers in at the time. The shop is small but cute. There’s tons of stuff for you to spoil your dog: hip collars and leashes, beds, blankets, specialty foods, toys, etc. I asked the woman on duty if they had any Bears bandanas and sure enough, she led me right to them! She even helped me figure out what sizes to get (which is harder than you think when you have a 20 pound Pekingese). Yes, they were a little pricey for bandanas but I was in a crunch and I spoil my dogs more than I ever spoil myself, so I accepted it. They even wrap your purchases all nice and gift-​like.
When I have more time, I’ll likely stop by again and peruse the store a bit more. It’s the kind of place that caters to crazy dog parents like me, so I know I won’t feel judged if I buy my fur babies a dog blanket or something. I mean, what were the chances I was going to find a Bears bandana here, at this small shop? But of course they had it, because they know what silly stuff you’re going to want to give your pets, and I love them for that.

I have shopped there since my initial review and that rude associate is gone. The new staff is super nice and helpful and always offer to help me to my car with my orders.

Great place for quality food, toys, treats and more for your pup. Their prices are fair and actually less with their reward card! Knowledgable staff that have great recommendations. My pup loves coming here too!

There’s no if’s and’s or buts, if you’re willing to pay for quality, Wet Nose is THE place to shop for accessories, treats and specialty foods and supplies for your furry friends. Don’t forget to bring in your furry friend to test the treats and try on the clothes. They’re more than welcome inside and once in, customer service is the flavor of the day!

Being as dog obsessed as I am, I kind of can’t believe I hadn’t discovered this gem before now. I happened upon it completely be accident — I was at a business lunch at Kona Grill, spied an adorable looking boutique, and vowed to come back immediately. So happy I did!
I love this place in the same ridiculous ways I love Two Bostons in Naperville. They sell a myriad of high quality, high priced, and fun items for pampered dogs in a sophisticated looking environment with absolutely amazing customer service. My very favorite part of this store is the little treat buffet at the front of the store — a veritable doggy bar of fun and interesting treats. Grab a bag from the staff and fill up on lamb sausage links, pork hearts, bully sticks — whatever suits your uh, taste. My dogs have loved every single item I’ve brought home from here. And I love that they have a loyalty program!
There’s nothing here your dog NEEDS, but tons of stuff they will absolutely want. Check it out for new and interesting goods for your pooch!

This is a great doggy boutique, very clean and organized inside and they have a great assortment of doggy treats and toys. Plus they have a great points program. After a couple bags of food, treats and toys, you can get your $ 25 loyalty dollars in no time. Great thing is that they carry my doggy food brand, so I am happy about that I don’t have to travel all the way to the Pet Supplies Plus store in Westmont for it. The staff is so nice and friendly. They also have a great assortment of leashes and collars if you aren’t looking for your typical colors and want a something a little different.

Dogs only — Cats need not apply. Update — Just returned from Wet Nose, went to cash in my $ 25 loyal customer reward to only find within a few days that they only have some token cans of cat food. I always purchased Wellness but now I was told «they didn’t sell well» so they don’t carry it except a few of the small cans. Wet Nose now, is a dog store, not only won’t I be able to get a nice free bonus for being a loyal customer, I will be shopping elsewhere that believe that cats are pets too.

Visited this store the first time today. Loved it! The prices are a lot lower than other pet boutiques I have been to, and the products they carry are all good ones. Will definitely become a regular.

I love this doggy store! Very cute stuff if you need a gift for someone with a prized pooch! I’ve been here before but can’t believe I’ve never reviewed! They have a huge array of doggy toys. I have been to their other location in Geneva as well, same thing– cute store! They have the illustrious Bella Bean Couture doggy collars. This is a great store to find animal antlers, ears, tracheas. etc. Which are great chews for your pups! Definitely a great location, people in this area would pay big to spoil their pups!

I cannot say enough good things about Wet Nose!!!
The staff is extremely knowledgeable, they know their animals and how to keep them healthy. Recently I had a lot of questions about going grain free with my pups and was directed to try a specific brand that was right in the price range I was looking for.
I appreciated that they took the time to listen to what I was looking for and DIDN’T try and talk me into a more expensive brand than I wanted.
Their range of chews for dogs is very extensive and affordable… the toys and clothing are very cute and fun and change seasonally.
I am also a big fan of the variety of collars that are available, it makes my pups look oh so fancy :)
I also love that any time I bring my dogs in with me, the staff goes out of their way to greet them and play with them… it’s the little things that make you appreciate a place :)

First off it’s a mostly boutique pet store. So don’t go looking for deals. But if you want sometime unique or fun and of high quality, it’s a great place.
For our cat, we would purchase his food there. I think it was 1 or 2 cents a can higher than the big stores, but I like supporting locals when I can. The staff was always very nice, and would do special orders for us.
Though our cat is no longer with us, it’s still our go to place for little gifts for the pet lovers in our family. Especially the bakery treats.

Probably one of the best pet stores in the area. Most of the food is top rated on
, all the toys we’ve bought for our dog have held up well. Yes the prices are a little bit more but I prefer to give my dollars to local owners rather than large pet store chains that source most of their products from China.
Sign up for their email and get their newsletter for the discounts for the month. We try to go at least once a month and get our dog a joy stick. Because what’s not to love about seeing your dog get super happy over a treat?

First off, to address people’s complaints of it being more expensive — it is… but you certainly get what you pay for in this case. The food, toys, sweaters/​clothing are top notch quality in every way. Also, econ 101: An upscale, specialty «mom and pop» boutique located in a wealthy suburb doesn’t run on the same business model as Whole Foods or Petsmart. They’re not a volume business like a big box store and they have to compete. Same reason your local hardware store is more expensive than Home Depot. I understand if you don’t want to pay higher prices… but there’s a reason it’s that way and it’s not to screw you over because they’re greedy. They have to price higher and hope to win your loyalty by being attentive, warm, and having a great product. In this, Wet Nose delivers in spades.
The staff is very, very knowledgeable and will ask you very specific questions about your dog and your concerns for it when recommending food options. They will always order anything for you. If you learn the history of why the owners opened the store, you’ll understand why the staff is also so passionate and friendly. They are also very ethical — they will immediately cease carrying any products that have any QC problems or legal/​ethical problems.
My dog just loves coming here, she gets totally spoiled with attention and I am 100% convinced that they have your dog’s best interests at heart. Worth every penny and I highly recommend them.

This is one of my favorite places to go for doggy-​stuff. The only reason I can’t make it there more often is that it’s so far away for me! The owner is what makes this store so fabulous. She is REALLY on her game and informed about RAW food diet, and has provided invaluable advice. She seems really genuine, and comes across as being in this business for the betterment of our dogs.
Besides the hard-​to-​find dog food, they have really cute boutique-​style shopping: Leashes, harnesses, clothing, beds, dog-​carriers, etc… GREAT stuff. This place just makes me happy.
They are a bit expensive, but I don’t think they’re that much more expensive than any other dog-​boutique. Their counter-​part store in Geneva (?) seems a bit bigger and to carry more stock, so I’d prefer to go to that location, but if not this one is still fabulous.

I took my fur baby in here the other day for the first time, and we were both quite overwhelmed with all the great stuff! He was sniffing out the great selection of chewies and I was busy looking at the great selection of toys and dog-​lover trinkets. They have the cutest leopard-​print doggie items right now!
While the place might be a little «pricey», they have a unique selection of stuff, and honestly, as far as pet boutiques go, I would say it’s normal. I don’t mind spoiling my little guy, and I’m sure there are other many other owners like me out there.
The staff is SO incredibly nice and helpful too, so I’ll definitely be coming back.

Wet Nose is an adorable pet supplies store. They carry high quality cat and dog food (both raw & dry), toys, collars, clothing, treats & bones, and various other cute knick knacks for owners and animals. It’s a small store that I find to be extremely trustworthy. Everyone who works there is very helpful and friendly. I’m not one to buy clothes for my chubby little beagle, but I couldn’t resist a cute red and green Christmas dress to have her trot around in during our family dinner. It was a big hit. I also bought one of the «Yule Dog» ornaments they had this year. A glittered piece of dog poop. It made a great gift to give to some dog-​obsessed friends of mine, it gave them a good laugh. I find their prices to be similar to other stores of this kind, some things are pricey but you usually don’t find it cheaper anywhere else.
My favorite part about their store is that they don’t overstock their inventory. Their dog clothes they get aren’t piled high and they change about every month or so. I love being able to walk in and say «ooh, this is new!» But if you’re in love with something and they don’t have it in stock, whether it be a pet bed, food, collar, or sweater… they’ll gladly order one for you. The owner is sometimes working on Sundays. They truly love what they do and bring their passion to this business and it shows.
