Ciao Chow

We love this beautiful shop! The handmade bandanas are lovely and very well made. You can tell that the owner has put a lot of thought and care into everything she stocks at the store. My dogs enjoyed the handmade treats and my cats enjoyed the bags of treats I got for them! I also got the cutest sweater for myself! It has something for the whole family! Definitely recommend checking it out if you can!

Very friendly and accommodating owner. Helped me come up with a solution when my order couldn't be completed as expected due to a delivery delay out of their control. The owner also has her own rescue and helps local animals as much as she can. Definitely someone I will continue to support and purchase products from!

My lil Evelyn's favorite place to shop! Great foods, treats, toys, and we even took a doggo nutrition class there!

As a local on The Hill, I was thrilled to see a pet shop opening just a few blocks from me! The owner Jess has been more than accommodating when I need a particular food that they don't have in shop and special orders it to please my picky and allergy ridden pets. Outside of having a great selection of item, I love that Jess is active in dog rescues and giving these animals exposure to the public by bringing them into the shop. As an owner of 3 shelter animals, I love being able to see these rescues and supporting a woman running a small business. Highly recommend going in and treating your pet to some goodies here!!

Oh, Chaio Chow, how I love you. My boyfriend and I just moved to the city with our four dogs. Two beagles, two shepherds. Four times the dog supplies. I love this place. I love everything from the organic treats to the toys made from recycled products. I love that fact, that the owner Jess, sits in the corner and sews her bandanas on her own machine. I love her wall of endless dogs pictures of the dogs she’s rescued with her nonprofit. I love her passion and her drive and you can absolutely feel that when you walk in to the store. OH- and don’t even get me started on the DOG BATH. YOUR OWN PERSONAL LITTLE ROOM, stocked with everything you could possibly need (even a hair dryer!!!) Jess is the best, this place is the best. love, ruby, rip, maverick and goose

Wandered in on Weds afternoon because my mini poodle guided us there. Got some homemade treats for my dogs and a beautiful pen. Owner and other lady were very sweet. She gave us a vet recommendation because we had an emergency situation. We're so grateful these ladies were there in our time of need and cannot thank them enough for their kindness.

Nothing better than supporting a small business! The owner is awesome, not only running the store front, but a rescue as well. Most products locally sourced, and she is very informed/knowledgeable. Great to know that store is connected to the rescue to help support small business & good cause at once. Pets welcome too for yummy home baked treats!

I stopped into this establishment because I have lived in the neighborhood for many years and I prefer to support local businesses. That being said, I am surprised this store is still open. The owner was dismissive, rude, and gave an impression of being too busy to answer questions. She was in the process of pointing to the back of her shop to find what I was looking for as her friends had just walked in and she was more excited to talk to them than help me. I also find it interesting that when a poor review is posted, the owner replies with a long message of excuses and very little offer of suitable reimbursement. It is peculiar that my previous negative review along with a very condescending reply from the owner, has been deleted. Moldy treats, poor selection in some areas, an owner that only offers excuses - this little shop of horrors has potential under a different owner that is actually business and customer oriented rather than someone who just came up with a catchy name. There are many other specialty pet shops that are locally owned by nicer people. I encourage everyone to explore the other options.

Ciao Chow is a great addition to, The Hill. I discovered this cute little shop when I was dropping off my taxes at my accountant down the street. I made a mental note to come back, because I had to get to a hair appointment. I didn't want to be late and I would have been if I stopped to shop a pet store. Once I got to my hair appointment, my stylist announced she had adopted a new Lab puppy and in the same breathe, told me about this darling pet boutique on The Hill. Yep, it's one and the same. Two days later, my taxes are done and I am back on The Hill. Before going to my accountant, I made a point to shop Ciao Chow. This little shop has a good variety of pet accessories for both dogs and cats. I picked up a couple of new stainless bowls for my fur-babies and a bag of treats that is one of their favorites. I also, picked up a couple freshly baked bones painted in the colors of the Italian flag. I highly recommend that you come shop this local boutique for all your cat and dog food, treats, toys, etc., while supporting a local rescue. That's right, Ciao Chow partners with the non-profit animal rescue, All Paws Safe Haven. So, when you shop here you are supporting both a local business and charity.

My dog Gertrude loooooves this store! She has been featured in the Saturday Doggo Reel and few other IG posts. You will find healthy food, homemade treats, fun toys, and great gifts in this store. Located in the heart of The Hill, Ciao Chow is centrally located for a great walk around the neighborhood. Follow them on IG for sneak peek and specials!
