Noe Valley Pet Company

Wandered in here and they were lovely and friendly to my pup and I. Let us try a treat. We ended up with some new bones and will definitely be back to buy more!

They have a curated selection of pet supplies in a nice part of town, I come here for treats and cat grass. The staff is always very helpful.

My favorite pet store in San Francisco! Everything at Noe Valley Pet shop is high quality and is adored by my cat. I appreciate their curation of items especially around the holidays. This pumpkin hut changed my life it's so stinking cute!

Pikoo says thank you for the toys ♥️

I’ve never went shopping for pets, but I really don’t see how a store/staff could be any better. Super friendly, honest, and tons of great advice for us! Our baby Dinah is going to love her new toys, and she was already enjoying the red pepper toy the nice lady gave her! 5*, we’ll be back!

It's a hike from the East Bay but worth it if you want a true boutique where you can find tons of great food brands, yummy treats and stylish accessories for your furry friends. Helpful, knowledgeable staff willing to go extra steps if they possibly can. Have some time and need some smiles? Go to their Instagram account.. it's very illustrative.

Cute little shop with some boutique items and items you won't find at other stores. My personal favorite leash is sold here - a rubber coated metal leash. I'll keel coming back to support this company.

They have a nice selection of food, toys, leashes, and treats and a helpful knowledgeable staff. We love supporting our local neighborhood pet shop!

This cute little pet store is a neighborhood gem! We got a bully stick and a light up collar for our German Shepherd. She really liked all the smells and the yummy treat samples. The employees were really helpful and answered all of our questions about their Pendleton dog beds. They didn't have it in extra large but assured us they could order it.

I've shopped here a few times whenever I'm in the area. I love the variety of premium items this store offers. From toys to food to treats, you'll only find high quality, premium products and not have to worry about whether it'll be good for your furbaby or not. Unfortunately, I had to remove 2 stars for lack of customer service and very unwelcoming vibes. The few times I've stopped in, I was maybe greeted once and the other times the staffers just stood around, watched shoppers and didn't care to engage.

An employee was extremely rude to a little girl in front of me. There is no way she would have treated this child the same if the parent was around. There was no need to snatch a toy out of the kids hand rudely, say someone will be buying it and tell her to go find a parent in such harsh tones. The entire interaction was hostile and off putting. I will never shop there again.

Love Noe Valley Pet Store! Great selection of food for dogs and cats love the toys! Fun fun fun. The treats are the best part , well that's what my pup says

I used to shop here many years ago because my nail shop was just down the street. We ventured in here today, 7/6 around 12:30pm after our tea time at Lovejoy's. My auntie, little cousin and myself walked in to browse a little. I noticed when we walked in we weren't greeted by the staff. I noticed a little commotion going on with a group of 4 gals around dog. 2 were crouched down and I realized they were the workers. They could have still greeted us regardless. When the other two girls left with their dog, they still didn't make any effort to come up to us to say hi and see if we needed any help. So I just shook it off and looked around. I did see a brand of food I have been wanting to get for my cat. I normally don't like patronizing stores that have bad service, but my family was with me and I did want to buy that food. When I went up to the register it was pretty awkward vibes. I did say hi and they kinda did? Paid for my stuff and the girl that was ringing me up was a little awkward when she handed me the bag afterwards. Like what gives? Whoever the people are that used to work there when we used to go were nicer. I'm not sure why people that work at these boutique pet stores feel the need to not show any kind of customer service in the dept of being friendly. I probably won't come back here because the brand that I bought is pretty marked up in price.

I just got a new puppy and had to write a review about this pet store, so I stopped at this pet shop on my way home and was so grateful for the customer service by one of the sales associates MO, she was very knowledgeable on the healthiest products I should be using starting out as I wasn't sure where to begin on picking out new puppy essentials. I left with the cutest stuff and things that will be beneficial for my growing pup. I appreciated her input and the time she took to make sure I was set. Definitely will be going back soon.!

I recently stopped into this pet shop randomly and was very impressed by their customer service. I was just trying to kill time yet I left with a bunch of new things for my dog. The staff was welcoming and very helpful. Monique one of the staff members recommended me a new dog food brand that my dog absolutely loves. Great overall experience, had to write a review!

wonderful spot with really helpful employees. Always happy when I have to stop by to pickup stuff for my cats. They also allow you to place orders for products that they don't carry in store.

I've walked by this store often through the years but haven't had a reason to stop in until the kittens became family earlier this year. VERY friendly service - from the owner to all staff. I was welcomed the minute I set foot into the store and all my questions about products were enthusiastically answered. Also appreciate and love the selection of natural food products and unique offerings of kitty toys made in the USA. Will definitely be back again! Thank you, Paula, Monica (?), and everyone at NVPC, for making our first Christmas with the kittens so special! Support local small businesses!

I shopped there for a few years and enjoyed the neighborhood presence. However, the past few times it felt like I was being followed around or watched closely. It was very uncomfortable. I'll order my pet needs online going forward.

We always stop by when we're in the neighborhood, sometimes just to walk through the store and let our pup get all the smells! Usually, though, we end up picking up something. They sell Junkyard Bones here, which our dog loves. He is absolutely obsessed with those barbecue bones! They have quite a selection of food, treats, clothes, as well as other pet essentials such as leashes and collars, bowls, beds, and pill pockets. Overall, a great neighborhood pet store with decent prices and very friendly staff! Sometimes our dog is lucky enough to get some free treats :)

We love this store so much! We get our dog's food here all the time. It's priced less then the big online corporate pet stores. Please support your local pet stores!

I am a big fan of this pet store! Not sure what was going on with the other reviews regarding customer service, but I've been here a handful of times both to grab things for my dog + gifts for friend's dogs. Each time, I've gotten help from the workers and suggestions on what to get / things they recommend. The selection of toys and treats are so great and everything is so cute! Will definitely be back.

Stumbled upon this store on my walk. Staff didn't greet me or my dog, customer service person was too busy talking to the security person. Won't be returning... first and last time there.

(Pandemic review) The staff here only pull up their masks when a customer walks in - I've seen this multiple times. As if the air and droplets that they exhaled without masks disappears from the store when they pull their masks up??? I don't feel safe shopping here during the pandemic. When I said so, they told me I could go elsewhere. What total lack of regard for customers! Two stars only because my cat's food is cheaper here than at Rainbow Grocery.

I came in today around 11:15. One woman was leaving as I was coming in. I was the only one there and now I know why. Not once did either of the two people working there acknowledge me. The only time the guy said something was when I walked out. If this store expects to survive they need to do an in-service for their employees on how to treat potential and current customers. I'm all about supporting small businesses, but not when they make me feel like they don't care.

The staff are what bring many of us patrons back. The owner is absolutely awful, but friendly, will never give a treat to a dog, only cares about making money. I've been coming here for years and as a dog walker I always love working with Josh, Beth and Monique as they are kind and true animal lovers. The owner is a cold person who conveniently forgets to give me my walking discount whenever she rings me up, despite recognizing me, and glares at her staff if they spend too much time chatting with customers instead of selling. She is so lucky to have such a wonderful staff for they are the reason the business thrives after all these years. They have a lot of great treats sold individually and the staff will give you excellent recommendations if you have any queries. Just remember, the owner will only help you if you spend a lot of money. Otherwise, she'll ignore you and keep the staff busy so that you'll feel uncomfortable and leave.

Came for pet treats. Asked to use bathroom, but only employees have that privilege. Sent on a wild goose chase looking for another bathroom. Not cool. Service dog and I will just shop elsewhere Next time treat your customers with some courtesy

Why do the little dogs get all the love? Why the overwhelming need to accessorize an accessory (because, let's admit it, that's what they've become --- living fur accessories)? Furthermore, why are 95% of the accessories sized for big dogs reminiscent of something out of an Eddie Bauer catalog? Ok, I know that ORIGINALLY my dog was bred to be a "hunting dog," but I come from farming stock and you don't see me running around in overalls and a flannel shirt. Baboo is city dog all the way and her accessories should reflect that. Enter Noe Valley Pet Company. While it's a small store with a boutique flavor, they have a fabulous array of collars with which even a Hollywood starlet would be happy to trim her yappy little fur ball --- but they're made for big dogs! How about something pink with daisies? Or shiny black leather with silver stars? Maybe a little sassy plaid action? Or the oh-so-trendy leopard print? All with leashes to match! There's also a nice assortment of big dog toys, chew bones the size of my arm, 30 lb. bags of food, and, ahem, dog sweaters. I'm looking the other way on that last one --- kind of like you look the other way when your friend has a bad habit of hooking up with bartenders every weekend. Everyone makes mistakes. I've seen things for cats and birds but as I own neither, cannot attest to the breadth or depth of selection. Also, just to be clear, they DO carry things for little dogs. It's just that at Noe Valley Pet Company, it's the big dogs who are queen bitch.

After dropping off my dry cleaning next door, I stepped in for an urgent "just ran out of cat food" moment! I had never shopped here before, but I don't think I will shop anywhere else now after my lovely interaction with Beth. She helped me find our favorite food brand, call of the wild, and added some excellent advice on how to help our Archie get more protein in his diet and stay hydrated. He generally stays away from wet food, but after one sample of Rad Cat raw food from Oakland, he is hooked! Thank you for the great service!

I think the customer service especially on the phone needs to be worked on. On the phone I've been unlucky to get the same rude , condescending person who is so abrasive it's enough to put you off going in. This is a good neighborhood pet store which could be great if a certain staff member could be nicer and more helpful.

Noe Valley Pet Company is one of the fixtures in my neighborhood that make it feel like I have everything I need right outside my doorstep. It has everything a pet mom would buy on a whim or in an emergency, whether it be fur ball made out of real rabbit fur, all-natural kitty shampoo, or a new kitty brush. My darling kitty has loved every toy I've ever bought from here, and I love that I can walk here within a few minutes to pick up a new bag of Wellness or Pet Naturals treats rather than than wait for Amazon Prime to ship. Or, I can buy a new pair of claw clippers when my kitty decides he's going to hide the pair at home. Obviously, a mom-and-pop shop like this has higher prices than Amazon (by a dollar or two per item), but the convenience can't be beat. P.S. This place has a great selection of doggie supplies as well, and the dogs I've seen frequent this place seem to enjoy shopping here.

It's a nice cozy corner store with a little of everything. They a good variety of food and some very tastier treats, carriers, beds, clothes and toys for your pampered pet. It is clean and well organized, pleasure to browse and find that special treat. The staff is friendly, helpful and welcoming. Street parking can be a bit tricky but it is not impossible.

I adore this place...I no longer live in the city and sure miss going to Noe Valley Pet Company. I am a professional pet sitter & have been to most pet stores... there's nothing like this one! The owners, Paula and Celia, are good to the core. Thank you for services!

On a first glance, this place draws you in and is inviting. I could feel my insides smiling looking to see what I can find for my new pup. Then, you meet the people...and it's cold, rude and uninviting; they'll glance your way when you enter, then look at you as if you're a nuisance. The one hello I did get was when the owner saw me and walked past (how did I know she was the owner, I'll get back to that later). I asked another woman a few questions about harnesses - I asked the difference between the Wildebeest and Easywalk harness, comfort-wise and what she'd recommend. Her response was condescending and not helpful, saying "your trainer will tell you which harness to get for their training protocol." I went on to say I will be training my dog myself, so she begins to tell me that I need to start with leash and collar training, then proceeded to rattle off books, etc., which is assuming I don't know how or never had a dog. I didn't ask and it was not helpful, but I wanted to be kind, and said thank you. (On a side note, if you asked, my past dog, was so well behaved, they thought he was a little person with manners. Additionally, I was a long-time volunteer at the dog shelter and I helped with training/socialization.) Since she seemed to really be into training, I asked what puppy school (for socialization) she recommended, she went blank, paused and maybe it was because she didn't know, she went on to make a snide comment that the only training school she knows are the SPCA ones, because "most people get their dogs there." As you can infer, that was her way of responding in a passive aggressive way when I told her I was getting a standard poodle that she frowned upon my decision. I'm not adopting a dog from the SPCA, does that make me a bad person, no, but in her eyes, I am. I then left and happened to see the initial woman who said hello to me and asked if she was the owner and she was friendly. I told her what happened, she was apologetic, but then shrugged her shoulders and said "she's worked for me for 10 years." No mention of her speaking to her or making sure it doesn't happen again. So, is that indifference or that's how you want your staff to behave? I replied, "maybe she was having a bad day." However, you'll see this woman/staff have a bad day pretty frequently. I should've known as I perused the other reviews. Please look, it's all about how uninviting and how rude the people are here. I don't know, but for me, there's no need for me to go back. There's nothing there enticing enough for me to return - there are other places that are welcoming, helpful, free of judgement, and without the rudeness/bad behaviour. Animal stores are usually fun and filled with kind people, this isn't one of them.

I LOVE Noe Valley Pet Company, my husband and I have been coming here for years and would not shop anywhere else for my furry babies...The owner's and the staff are amazing and ALWAYS very helpful in more ways than one. I have always had a great experience coming in Noe Valley Pet....I have always said if the staff are employed for over 10 years plus, they have amazing bosses and that says something huge about the owner's of the store. They carry a vast variety of great item's for your pet and everything my dog's own comes from Noe Valley Pet Company, along with all my dog walking tools to keep my pups happy and content. I would highly recommend coming into this great store that has been here since 1999. My favorite place in the city.

Love this place!! Great local treat brands and raw food brands. We Come here to get our Small Batch patties for our mini Aussie who loves them! They always stay fully stocked which is amazing. Great knowledgeable and friendly staff who are genuinely concerned for the well being of your animal. Our pup Rollie sends her many thanks!!

Although I didn't buy anything here, I got such a warm welcome & such fab company. The golden gate lab rescue canceled their event held here but the Noe Valley Pet Company's staff were very tactful & professional about the whole situation.

I live in Noe Valley and based on a friend's recommendation, hired them to walk my dog twice a week. Everything was going fine, until one day the dog walker called me from Upper Market informing me that my dog jumped out of the truck, and he is somewhere on Market. He informed me that since he was running late for his next drop off, and since my dog was not following his commands, I should go find him. As you can imagine I lost it, and told him to go back and find my dog. He told me he wouldn't and that I would have to get him. I left work with a friend to help me find my dog, somewhere on Castro and Market. We searched the area and after about 30 minutes found him up on the dog park, luckily, walking with a couple and their dog. I called the owner and told her what happened and how irresponsible the walker was, and can you believe that she DID NOT APOLOGIZE! I told her that I would never bring my dog back or ever recommend her to anyone and she didn't give a rat's ass. The owners are very unfriendly and not customer service focused as you can see. Grumpy people.

Eh, I went here on a recommendation on where to buy my pup a cute collar. And, I was in the hood headed home. Walked in. It was a small place and the guy at the counter was NOT friendly at all. NO HELLO, NO "can I help you", NO NOTHING! That's really annoying! I did however, find my boy a very cute collar. A bit over priced, IMO. Will I be back? Nope, there are better pet stores in San Francisco where the prices are in line with the products and quality they carry and where the staff is friendly.

One of my favorite parts of the day is when my dog refuses to move unless we cross the street to NVPC so he can get his treats. Josh, Beth, and Monique are always willing to indulge him. Great service, fair prices, and kind people. Our neighborhood is better because they're here.

I love this place! I've had nothing but great shopping experiences here. I'm shocked to see that some people find the staff to be not welcoming. That hasn't been my experience at all. They are always so friendly and remember me and my dog every time. My dog is obsessed with this place and usually directs us into the store if we are within a block away because she knows she will get treats and affection. I like Noe Valley Pet Company so much that I plan to switch my dog's food to a brand they carry so that I can support them more. Noe is lucky to have a shop like this!

... can you say, "Judgmental?" For the last year I've been driving by this little corner store and mentally making it a "to-do stop and shop" since I constantly drive through the Noe Valley. But when I finally was able to stop by during business hours with my little mutt, it seemed like the minute that I walked in the store the employees made it apparent that they were soon going to soon close the shop... must I add, without saying a word. The walking space is a bit tight and because of that, there are tons of treats & toys scattered throughout the whole store. It almost feels like you're going through a maze just to find a dog toy. When I finally spotted the dog toys in the far corner of the store, I simply said out loud, "Aha! there it is!" to my boyfriend who was slowly trailing behind me. When the employee heard me say that, she gave me a stern look and asked if I was looking for something, as if I was being rude in trying to get her attention (but by no means was that my intention). I politely said, "No thank you, I think I've found what I was looking for." She then quickly turned away and walked to the cash register. After that, it was a bit of an odd silence throughout the store so I proceeded to walk towards the door. I noticed her trying to hurry me out of the store by the use of the "stink eye," then something caught me eye, DOG SWEATERS! Sadly, each sweater was somewhat close to $70 and although the designs were pretty flattering, I just thought to myself that it would be better if I knitted Max a sweater for about $7. I'm pretty sure that there are other pet stores that are tons of nicer than Noe Valley Pet Co. & just because I'm not a regular does not mean I should be treated no less.

Paws Up! My first non-restaurant review. Hey, I guess I should comment on where my dog gets his food too. Place. Love the corner, light-filled location, stocked with a great variety of goods and treats for your pet. Yes, parking can be a pain sometimes, but I still do go there to get my 30 lbs of Nutro kibble for my lab. Products. Food price is definitely reasonable (and there is a frequent buyer card that gives you $10 off non-food goods after each $100 premium food purchase). Lots of nice accessories, toys, beds, etc. True, doggie bling can be expensive, but I do like to support neighborhood stores, so if I can splurge on myself once in awhile, my pooch also deserves a nice collar or leash -- as if he really cares! -- so it's just another treat for me that my dog looks cool. Service. Generally, the staff is super nice; they let you linger; they give you treats for your dog, etc. The owners are supportive of the community, and that counts a lot too.

Too bad that the staff is rude and the prices (way too) expensive, cause the store itself is beautiful and they have a neat selection of pet goodies..... Maybe it just shows how the neighborhood is changing. There are so many other FRIENDLY and REASONABLE owner owned pet supplies store in the city, that I would highly NOT reccommend Noe Valley Pet Company. UPDATE: I admit that since this store is close to my "hood", I still stop there more than I should to get my pet's food. The people have become nicer (hence the 2 stars instead of one), except for one of the owners who is still very rude, short, and seems bothered if you ask her to special order food or if she can stamp ur "frequent buyers card"....... she needs to lose the tude and get wit the time, jesbus :(

I like the variety of products that this store carries, but I think there is an issue with customer service. I read some of the reviews and it seems like I'm not the only one who thinks this. I've come here twice and I was not greeted by anyone. And when there's more than one person working, the staff members are so deep in their own personal conversations that they don't notice people waiting in line or waiting near by to ask a question. I remember waiting 5 minutes for them to finish a conversation (between the 2 employees) and I ended up just asking my questions when I realized they weren't going to ask me if I needed help. When I asked them questions (the two female employees) they seemed irritated that I was interrupting their conversation. I get it, I don't like when people interrupt my conversations, but I also make sure to pay attention to my customers. The 3 stars is for the different products they carry. They have a lot of cool things so I'd recommend checking out the merchandise, but as far as customer service goes....this place is seriously lacking. I really want to support local business but I'm not sure I'd come here again.

They have the cheapest prices on Tiki Cat and the best customer service. They also carry Wysong Uretic for kitties with problems. Super friendly service and frequent buyer card.

The staff is kind and knowledgeable. I walked in expecting to get a new puppy in a few days so I had a thousand and one questions. They were happy to help and walked me around the store explaining to my my options and which one they recommend. One of the owner was there in her lesbian outfit and she was nice, friendly , and assisted us. I was very happy to give them my business. The prices may have been a little bit above average, but it is better than going to a big name pet store and getting no attention at all. Plus, it feels great to support local business.

My dog, Grendel gives this place several wags for the excellent selection of healthy treats and extensive array of unique and durable toys. I have been buying my boy toys for 13 years and get tired of kongs and tennis balls around the house. Gren loves his 8 ball, his die (Hubs says that he knows that life is a gamble), and his mini tire. Unfortunately at Gren's age he's on a special low protein diet so he can't have all the delicious lamb, liver, and duck treats. But we still have a great time perusing the aisles for toys and fancy collars.

Cute owners, groovy vibe, good music playing. What's not to love? Sure their prices on dog and cat tchotchkes won't beat Wal*Mart's. But they are extremely competitive on food prices. Anyway, what did you expect? It's Noe Valley. Support your local business. Signed, Fido.

I walked in with my dogs to purchase new harnesses and collars, toys, and treats. After one step in the door a rather large white woman in an apron and a bandana said, "Please don't let your dogs pee in the store." Not, a simple greeting or can I help you? She basically led with, don't make me clean up pee, assuming they would. I was shocked as I don't normally bring my dogs to pet stores but I needed them with me to get fit for a harness and collar. I said, "Well, nevermind, I will go somewhere else." And I will never step foot in this place again.

Excellent selection of high-end dog food and treats. I started coming here when CitPet (over in West Portal) temporarily stopped carrying our brand of frozen, raw, organic dog food because their freezer was broken. So I found this place and I like it better because I don't have to pay for parking. tip: visit during the day, on a weekday, and parking is a breeze. Noe Valley sells some fancypants dog clothing, toys and good quality snacks not made in China. They also sell good quality bird food (avi-cakes) and some books. The store is bright, inviting and well stocked. I have **never** encountered rude service here, and was surprised to read that other people have. I've never met the owners, though. There is a young woman who works here during the day and she is super friendly and helpful.

We're so lucky that this is our neighborhood pet store! The staff is super friendly and generally gives excellent advice when asked. Our dog LOVES to go in there, and is always so disappointed when they're closed. They have a wide variety of stuff considering it's a pretty small store, so we don't really have to go anywhere else unless we want something super specialized. I suppose the prices are higher than the big box pet stores, but we like to support local stores.

I would say this is the best pet store in town- and I have been to A LOT of pet stores. Very knowledgable staff that always remembers my dog's name and gives him a special treat. Always has what we're looking for. Great neighborly ambiance.

Before I give my glowing review of No Valley Pet Company and Paula, one of the owners, lets just be clear . . . this is a pet boutique AKA a "way too fancy for pets but we do it anyway because we love them" kind of place. That said . . . it's a pretty awesome pet store. My wife and I have had dogs most the the 20+ years of our marriage, but few years after daughter number 3 was born, we had to take a break. Just was not fair to the dog or us*. Well that same little girl is now 8, so with her older sisters, 10 and 14, working hard at the parental units, we gave in and adopted a sweet minpin/dachshund mix from Animal Care and Control. Now in previous years, we had always tried to go to the local pet store and most of them were kinda holes-in-the-wall staff by people who probably got along better with pets than people. All good. Now I am sure that there are still those places around, but whew, my how the business has changed. People, especially San Franciscans have always blurred that pet/child line, but wow, seems like it has been kicked into overdrive as of late. So we walked into Noe Valley Pet Company for the first with the crew in order to get ready for our new addition. If you have been to one of these high-end pet stores, they are filled with all sorts of stuff that gets right at the pet-owners soul: designer collars, healthy foods, clothes and more. Paula, who we learned was the owner, was extremely helpful and offered a discount because we just adopted. Prices were not as high as I would have thought for the basic stuff: crate, food, treats, etc. We did end up getting a matching leash/collar set made by a local company for more than I pay for my own shoes, but hey, our family of five agreed and that's reason enough. I drew the line at putting clothes on my dog no matter how cute she is ;-) Overall, this is a store that is committed to the community, provides a great selection and has great customer service. We will def be back! *the dog in questions is now living in a way more posh place than she would have EVER had with us.

This has to be the nicest pet store in the city. Just a cute and clean store with really good products. I'm a dog owner and they not only have all the best dog stuff, but cat stuff too--I end up buying things for my cat friends all the time! And it's always the best stuff that you can't get at the chains like Evo food or just beautifully made collars, leashes, toys and treats. Every time that I didn't buy something at Noe Valley Pet Store, I regretted it because it usually would fall apart or would stain my poor dog's fur. And most importantly, my dog Rider always gets a genuine, warm greeting by the same people that he actually has a relationship with. It's always funny when I run into one of the guys from the shop walking in the neighborhood because Rider will totally go into his happy dance mode.

There's a lot of fuss in this eerie town about dogs. I used to live in the middle of fucking nowhere northern california. No matter where I went I paid a grip for 'by-product free' doggie food. It's just how things are in this state... But I moved south to civilization where things are closer and cheaper. My dog and I sniffed around for the best price and we found Noe Valley Pet the most reasonable! Yay!

Excellent products. i'll only buy my dog beds from them, because Paula knows how to buy ones that last. I know that place is great when my dogs cry if we walk by and don't go in. I've been shopping here since they opened, and I'll continue to do so until I can't walk or drive there any more.

The staff here was really friendly, knowledgeable, not too pushy. The selection was on the smaller side for what I was looking for (a flea killing arsenal!), but I did leave with a few products that I am satisfied with. Petco probably has a better selection but you can't beat this place if you want to buy local. PLUS I overheard an employee mention that NVPC provides health benefits for its workers. Excellent. I'd gladly pay the two extra bucks for a flea fogger!
