Curious K9

I don’t trust people with my dog easily, but I trust LeeAnn with my dogs. She is incredibly knowledgable about dogs, training, and nutrition. She is also a wonderful and responsible business woman, and honestly wants the best for dogs in the area.

The staff are extremely knowledgeable, they have a decent selection of treats grain-​free dog food, and other dog accessories (all of which will expand when they move to Delta Oaks in Jan 2013). I’m looking forward to trying their grooming services.
Yes, they’re a bit more then the mass-​market big-​box stores… but you’re buying local, with some of the best customer service and most knowledgeable staff.
Ask a random employee at PetSmart or PetCo about the differences in ingredients in the food they carry, and which is better for your dog & why… then you’ll see why it’s worth it to pay more & buy local.

Goodness, Dawn had a crappy experience! In the PAST I had noticed that it was like pulling teeth to get the front desk girl to acknowledge you — but I haven’t seen her lately. Hopefully they figured it out.
WE took our two Westies here to be groomed after my having such an awful time at Oh My Dog.
WELL. WONDERFUL. That’s all. Sarah was a groomer, and she was FAN.TASTIC.
I used to show Westies — I KNOW I’m picky. I know not every groomer knows breed standards. I have made concessions for that in the past. With Sarah, I didn’t have to. She was so detailed, and made SURE she knew what I wanted and expected. And didn’t treat me like I was overbearing for asking for what I wanted. I paid $ 98 for both dogs — and couldn’t be happier. She knows dogs. She’s friendly. She’s precise. She’s professional. She frankly, saved my idea of finding a real groomer in Eugene.
As far as the shop, I love all the swanky puppy toys and treats. It can be a bit pricey, but it’s a specialty store, and if I’m looking for frilly and fun, I KNOW where I can get it. Frankly, as long as they keep Sarah, I’ll MAKE a point to go in and spend.
I get my pups toothbrushes there too — and even when I’m only spending $ 1.50 — they’re still nice and grateful.
Love this place.

Looking for a healthy treats for you companion?
Curious K9 is a great place to be for u and your pet.
I always get friendly welcome from the owner,
every time I walk in with my puppy.
She would answer all your questions about
training to healthy diet about your pets.
(even if you don’t buy anything~)
Lots of local handmade items and
local pet events information are provided.
It is not over priced as you would assume.
I checked couple of items online for
price comparison.
It is just more pricy online too
because its better grade food and treats.
Also lots of stuffs are hand-​made with
quality materials.
Haven’t got a chance to tried the salon yet,
but heard some good thing about it.
So far it’s been always a pleasure to
shop there for me~

Want to pay more than double for your doggie’s treats while being generally ignored by the proprietor and later accused of shoplifting? Well, then run – don’t walk – to Curious K9!
Hubs and I sauntered in this afternoon to check out what we knew as the former «Lexi Dog» down in the 5^th Street Public Market. We have been long-​time customers of Lexi’s, even though they have always been horribly over-​priced on certain items. In the past, they have ordered products for us such as tandem leashes, specialty dog (soup) bones, and collars. Although we’ve always felt like we had to interrupt the shop girls’ conversations with her friends in order to be assisted, up until today I had no real reason to hate.
Today, as we window-​shopped, the first thing I noticed was that the price of medium Z-​ridge bones (from Zuke’s) was $ 4.50. I remarked to my guy – ‘Holy cow – we just bought these in bulk from Pet Smart for $ 2.00 per bone!’ We poked around for about 5 more minutes, were never greeted, and then walked out to the parking lot. Just as we had passed under the outdoor stairs, we were accosted by a girl who demanded to know where we had gotten the two bags of candies we were carrying. Before we could answer, she interrupted us to say that she had «seen us take them from her friend’s store, and that we needed to put them back, now.» After a horribly awkward couple of minutes, we let her explain to us who her friend was and then we proceeded to explain to her that our Bloc candies from Provisions were not, in fact, dog treats! She muttered an apology under her breath, and then sauntered back toward Curious K9, ostensibly to continue her conversation with her friend, the owner’s daughter.
I hope the shop girl apologized to her friend. Not only was she too wrapped up in conversation to even acknowledge her own customers – she then sent her friend on a wild goose chase to make sure that we never came back again. Well, congratulations, Curious! You’ve got your wish!
