Beast Will Morph Into a Neighborhood Market With a Familiar Name - Eater Portland

"Naomi Pomeroy announced earlier this month that Beast, her trailblazing restaurant that defined Portland dining, would not reopen in the NE 30th Avenue space it’s called home since 2007, thanks in part to the COVID-19 pandemic." - Erin DeJesus

As a Chef and a Woman, I Regret Joining the Boys’ Club | Eater

"Opened in Portland in 2007 by the author after a nontraditional path from home cook to professional, this chef‑owned restaurant became a busy, acclaimed spot. In retrospect the owner describes running the kitchen with a hard‑ass, bro‑like mentality—yelling, sometimes throwing things, and demanding long, 70‑plus‑hour workweeks for low pay—while participating in the same partying culture as male peers; early‑morning market runs and stops at strip clubs were part of that rhythm. The author now views those practices with sadness and criticizes the expectation that staff sacrifice family time and tolerate sexualized, macho behavior to get ahead." - Naomi Pomeroy

This pet shop is amazing. Great staff always friendly and helpful. They have a good selection of quality items. The animals are so fun to see and give pets too as well. Freddie is like my daughters emotional support animal. If she needs a cheer up we come here. 🤣 Overall a great community business that I highly recommend.

This place is legit! Everyone I’ve met behind the register has been welcoming, queer presenting, they make the vibe in there feel safe to come as you are and all very wildly knowledgeable with what feels like everything I’ve ever had to ask about! They will go as far as order what you need if you give them advance notice. They’ve carried everything I’ve needed for such a small place. Their you selection, treat selection, food, slow feeders and even collars etc. have been literally JUST enough of options but not big corporate dog store.

I was next door at Sadie Vet and bopped over for some treats and wet food and was very impressed by the amount of product stocked here! I got what I needed and a little extra to care for my old lady kitty who was not feeling well. My kitty is feeling much better after I gave her treats from here! Also there is a mighty big kitty watching over the place and a cute sleepy old lady pupper managing the register. All and all, very cute place.

I'd give them 6 stars if it was possible. Best staff. Great selection of food, toys, treats, leashes, beds, litter. They have sweet bb rats you cab pet IF YOU ASK FIRST - they will come over and let you pet them. They also have a shop dog & cat. <3 fav pet store ever, I feel lucky they're in our neighborhood

The hardest working little store in Portland. Personal Beast always has the best of everything, the newest versions, the cutest things. The kindest staff will help you find whatever your pet needs.

We got a new cat and during the first days with us all he did was hide and act depressed. Well, that made us depressed! We haven't had a pet in a long while, and I just didn't remember any of them acting like this. So, we went in Personal Beast to see if we could find some food to cajole the new cat and I mentioned the situation. The two employees there both cheerfully volunteered detailed expert and helpful information! Some of it was likely well known by most cat owners, but as I said, I haven't had a cat in years, so their advice REALLY helped me! I hadn't expected to do much more aside from buying the food, but I left there much more equipped to deal with Mister Sadsack than when I came in. In the end, the Mister now fits in great and we love him to pieces. Personal Beast employees really know about re-homing cats.

Cute little pet boutique that's far too easy to miss; I wouldn't have even known was here, had we not stopped for lunch at The Observatory next door! Carries a healthy selection of high quality pet foods, treats, toys, leashes and harnesses, accessories, hygiene products, beds and the like. And there's a couple of handsome kitters working as greeters, who will insist on your attention at some point during your visit! The staff seem to be relatively friendly and engaging, and although I am not a fan of the still-required masking policy, especially considering how spacious and sparsely populated the store is, that's a minor inconvenience. If your pets are a priority in your life, and this shop is in your neighborhood, do them a favor: skip the big box stores, do your personal be(a)st, and shop here for their nutritional and health needs!

I''ve been coming to PB for about 6 years now. They are always very helpful. And knowledges in all their products. They are patient too. I have a couple of very picky cats and have had to return multiple pet food products, which I feel horrible about but they have assured me every time the food still gets used and they aren't losing money when I do. This has definitely earned them a lifetime customer with me. They will also give you samples to try with your pet so you don't have to buy an entire bag. Which is great because the food isn't cheap. (Anywhere, not just at PB) They have a great selection and they research every food product to make sure it's sourced well and is good for your pet.

I went in yesterday looking for a chew toy for my "super chewer" and the owner was super helpful and knowledgeable. My dog loves her new water buffalo horn and so far it's holding up well to her constant gnawing. The freeze dried beef liver is also a hit!

So glad I found this pet store in my neighborhood! The staff are so friendly and helpful. They seem to be extremely knowledgeable too which I really appreciate. The store is stocked with only high quality items (at very reasonable prices!) for your pets so you never have to go in and debate which will be best for your little friend. Honestly very similar to what I would pay if buying from Chewy or any other big pet store brand. Come in and support local!!

My email to the best pet store in Portland, Personal Beast: Thanks for letting me bring my reactive dog in to shop for his birthday toy and treats today. I've never tried bringing him into a store, since he's aggressive toward other dogs, so at age 11 it was so nice to let him pick out his own toy for the first time. Your team was so kind to talk this through with me on the phone, and then to welcome us so warmly when we arrived. He walked all the way home, about 15 minutes away, carrying the toy - he's never done anything like that before. Thanks again. I hope this was no big deal for your team, but it was truly heartwarming and so appreciated by me and my old sweet dog.

Thankfully I read signs that are posted with context clues. It looks like a decent store but there's multiple cats wondering around and 2 reactive dogs behind the counter. Was hoping to take my dogs shopping here but it's not very welcoming to bringing your own pets in. Definitely one way to deter customers and the ones consuming products. Would recommend a sign that states no dogs welcome.

found this pet store on an adventure to Portalnd with my mom. We walked by it on our way to a coffee shop and had to stop in. The staff were super friendly and the toys and catnip that they had were plentiful. I love the idea that they have a variety of catnip that you can choose from.

These guys continue to just be awesomeness personified. I had forgotten to pick up food for one of my dogs (Clementine, 3-1/2 yo Irish Setter) for a few days until finally she ran out, which I only realized minutes before they closed. It wouldn't be that big a deal if she didn't have to eat a kangaroo-based food because of her horrible allergies to virtually every other protein source. But, she is so she is, right? Anyway, I hurried down to Personal Beast and got there just minutes after closing. I tentatively knocked on the glass and explained my dilemma and asked if the were anywhere else I could go at 7pm on a Tuesday to get Zignature Kangaroo. Curtis, my new favorite person after my wife, parents, siblings, and my buddy TJ I've known since 3rd grade... Curtis offered to give me some free samples of that very same food to hold Clementine over until I can come back tomorrow during business hours. Thanks, Curtis and the whole PB crew. You guys rock!

Met TriPod here a few months ago when picking up my cat food supplies. He's gone now because he found a home!!! YAY! He was of the 3 legged purr-sasion.. sweet boy. They have cats from Mult. Co. Animal shelter here all ready for you to adopt. This includes shots/and chip! The animal shelter is overfull right now so these sweet cats are going cheap, FYI. They let them roam around from time to time but I cannot imagine how that must drive them crazy with all the food smells!!!! I have 2 senior cats so I need special food to keep them going. Not only do I love this place because they have a lot of variety of different foods, I love that it's a local place. My favorite part though is that they are next to The Observatory so it's like a one stop shop/eat/drink place for me!

I love Salty's. I drive up to Mississippi and Fremont from Clackamas, just to go there to buy treats. And what do I see while I'm walking down Stark? A NEW Salty's, closer to home! I will have to save my five stars for when I go to buy treats, to see if it has the same great service. But peeking in the window, it looks like the same great goods I've come to expect on Mississippi, but in a bigger space. I saw the table of organic treats and animal parts. The dog food we buy, "Wee Bit," in the princessy pink shiny bag, was sitting next to the front door, in two different sizes. Oola has eaten the last bunch of treats I bought, it's time to stock up again! Check the website for hours. I'll be going and will update, I bet to 5 stars, soon. I went in and the store is bigger and more wonderful than the Mississippi location (which was recently broken into and ransacked, shame on the bad person who did that), with a lot more choices and products. The owner was there, as always was helpful, and I got a LOT of treats for Oola, as well as three new toys. She took the 10% coupon that I had for the other store. Salty's remains our favorite dog store ever.

This is an awesome local pet store featuring quality local and natural products (as well as some of the better big brands), toys, accessories, and the like. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help you find the right stuff for that special little furry someone. Pets are welcome in the store (as it should be with all pet stores) as well. This is in my hood, so I try to support as often as I can. While we go through too much cat food feeding the colony of strays that live on our street to buy anything bur the Purina Naturals (srsly, it's like feeding a couple of kids!) I still stop in from time to time for treats, special wet cat food, gifts, and the like. Good stuff for good dogs and good cats.

If my dog was homeless he would probably hang out in front of Salty's with a sign that says,"why lie, I need a treat" They sell bully sticks. Bull penis. My dog loves them. That doesn't make him gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

They sell individual-dose Advantage! This is a huge plus for me - it's a lot easier to put out $15 at a time, rather than the $59 for a several months' supply. Good selection of healthy/natural dog and cat foods at reasonable prices (not extra-expensive as, unfortunately, some independent stores have to be). The woman working was very helpful. She knew all the products and was able to take what I told her about my cat and recommend some good products. I'll definitely be shopping here from now on instead of Petco.

I just discovered Salty's and I'm so glad I did!! My two kitties require limited ingredient food and I've been shelling out $35 bucks at the vet for prescription food for 3 years now, but not anymore!!! Salty's has better quality limited ingredient food for a fraction of the cost (less than half!!) and my boys like it better. I highly recommend checking this place out, plus the staff are super awesome. Thanks Salty's!

Would it be wrong to say I LOVE this place?? Well, I do. My cat is newly diagnosed with IBD and I am in new territory with her special diet. The vet gave me instructions, but the woman who working when I went in talked me through all the different varieties and benefits of different products. She was so nice! Lots of awesome products and good prices. Will be my go to store from now on.

I spend a LOT of money in this store, and with good reason. They have fantastic options for all sorts of pets, and their sales team is very knowledgeable and helpful. One of my dogs has arthritis, so he needs food without poultry or white potatoes. He's also a bit of a chunker, so he's got to have a high protein, low carb type food (I know, I know - I do treat my anipals like kids, but I love them and they make me happy so whatever). Personal Beast has several options for him, and they also have a gluclosamine and chondroitin supplement that he actually wants to eat. Yay! My cat also will only eat Solid Gold cat food with chicken - no joke, he won't even eat fresh fish as a treat. He's super weird. PB always has the food I need for the dudes, and they have all of the extras that I buy (cat scratch pads, #2 bags, shampoos, ear cleaning wipes, CBD oil treats, toys, life jackets, work vests...yeah...they have a little closet). One of my favorite things about this store is the loose treat section. They must work with a local dog treat bakery, because they have big glass jars full of treats that are super inexpensive. My other dog has THE WORST breath - I won't get in to details, but it does ruin cuddle time if it's not taken care of. Super gross. One of the loose treats they sell is a charcoal treat made for little guys like him who just have raunchy stink face. They really do help, and so he gets quite a lot of these treats. Also! They have a loyalty reward program - every $150 you spend, you get a $10 credit. It's pretty great! I would definitely check them out if you have pets; I bet they have whatever you're looking for.

Salty's, now known as Personal Beast, is truly a great pet store. They do everything a pet store should and more. They have a huge selection of really quality pet products and know the product well. Staff is friendly but not pushy. These guys support animal welfare, which is extremely important to me and fits well with the Portland culture. They work with Multnomah County Animal Services a lot, have adoptable pets on site, and even hold volunteer trainings there! They also have a training area on-site where you can take your dog for positive training classes.

I called today to find some Earthbath shampoo and the customer service was great. The gentleman let me know they didn't have the specific kind I was looking for but could have it in less than 2 business days. Wow!! He even asked coworkers for advice about the shampoo and assured me they had something that could work for me. He completely went out of his way. It was awesome! When I came in to look around for a different shampoo, I was warmly greeted. The woman behind the counter was polite and engaging. She offered suggestions without being pushy at all and asked us all about our pups (which you know us pet owners love). She told me about their locally made bar soap and we can't wait to try it! It has an AMAZING ingredient list (including neem) and even better smell. Their selection of harnesses is really great. Somehow I found something to suit both my 65 lb fluffy chow and my 15 lb funny shaped Doxie mix. I ride a motorcycle so bringing the dogs in to try things on is a challenge. I was assured that I could return the harnesses as long as the tags were still on. I don't even need a receipt because I signed up with their rewards program! Pretty cool and awesomely convenient. Overall, I'm really impressed. The store was small so I can see how they wouldn't be able to stock a lot of food variety (I didn't look honestly... I was in a hurry) but the customer service at this place makes me feel pretty confident that they would do whatever they could. Update: The harness we got for our chow didn't really work out so we brought it back and exchanged it with no hassle AT ALL! We found another one in their awesome selection and it works perfect. They were so friendly and accommodating. The Portland made bar shampoo we got (Clean Canine by Molly Muriel) is seriously the best stuff EVER! I was worried it wouldn't last but WOW! A little goes a long way and it rinses away so clean and easy. My dogs end up smelling like healthy clean pups instead of potpourri. It has even been fantastic for my doxie mix's dry skin. We usually have to use a separate conditioner but no need with this stuff! I am so happy and will definitely be back for more when this runs out!

I was up Stark without a leash. Then I found Salty's. Nancy, at the front counter, went out of her way to help me find exactly the right leash at a decent price. She also pointed me to a training halter that was the perfect solution to my pup's budding penchant of chasing cars (not the best habit on Stark) and went out of her way to show me how it worked. Much appreciated. I'll definitely be back.

I rarely take the time to write reviews on here, but this is certainly a worthwhile exception. my cat wet the bed, through the sheets and into the mattress, so I rushed in a half hour before they closed and asked the lady at the counter what would work best for my situation. she explained they were out of what she would normally suggest but checked their storage room for any backstock they may have had.. when she came back out she handed me a bottle of their store supply, explained what it was and how to use it and wished me good luck, no charge! I am extremely grateful for her kindness in making an awful situation a little easier. This is officially my new go-to pet supply store!

I just got my first dog on Saturday. I walked into this place and asked "what does someone who owns a dog need to have...for said dog?" I have been back 3 or 4 times since that pseudo-initial visit (I had been in before for catfood and litter) with various questions and concerns involving my new little chap and the state of his tummy/fur/mood/nails/...and so on and so on. Every single person who works here is patient and helpful. Most of (if not all) the people who shop here are equally patient and helpful. I've already gotten at least $30 discounted from the various items I've purchased here. Seriously, I have nothing even close to negative to say about this shop. AND they are open untill 7:00pm. Nothing in this friggin' city is open past 6pm because people don't, you know, have jobs during the day all week long.

When we were in Oregon, we wanted to find my boyfriend's dog an Oregon shirt. Or any clothing that relates to Oregon. After stopping at every pet store in Portland, as nearly giving up on it, we decided to check out Personal Beast. At last, they offered cute Oregon Ducks dog shirt, and Oregon Beavers as well. Yaaayy, we got him the green Oregon Ducks shirt :D The customer service was also great! The lady that works there was helpful and kind.

Great selection, well priced, warm, and clean business! They even offer small sample bags of our high end dog food that is very hard to find. Our pooch loved the super tasty, inexpensive turkey neck - they have a nice line of real, dehydrated animal parts that dogges love and are also very hard to find - turkey wings, chicken neck, etc. The employee working there was super cool and helpful to boot - chatted extensively with us about specific things we were looking for in Portland. Another off-duty employee was there and she was also really helpful and sweet to us. We'll be back and definitely recommend!!

These are are just half a mile away from my home and I couldn't be any happier. They carry both my dog and cat's food (Taste of the Wild and Instinct). They have a customer loyalty program - so for every $100 you spend you'll get $10 off your next purchase. They carry a large selection of toys, snacks, and other odds and ends. The staff has been very helpful every time I've been in too. I asked if they carried compostable dog poop bags and the gal looked up their bags online and gave me the proper information. Unfortunately they didn't, but they do carry biodegradable bags. Another nice thing was they gave me free samples of cat treats for "halloween" trick or treaters. I am definitely a fan and will be going back.

This place is awesome! The owner is super friendly and very helpful. She helped me find the perfect leash for my dog- a very good but pull-happy boxer mix named Chup-Chup (who is happy to be at large again in style). The leash I ended up with is really unique but unassuming at first glance- had I not asked for a recommendation, I would have overlooked this gem completely! The selection of leashes, collars, and treats is great. There's a great solution to so many doggie needs here, that you'll wonder why you wasted time going to those corporate stores that are like eight times the size of this place, with 1/3 the quality and inventory. Apparently there is a Happy Hour at the treat bar from 4-7 on week days, when the treats are half off! I perused but did not buy from a plethora of specialty dog treats- like a Whole Foods deli for dogs! Does it get any better than that? We'll be back for Happy Hour, for sure!

I'm just going to join the chorus here..Personal Beast is a great place. I was all worried about my friend's cat who was going to have to make a cross country trip in a car. I went in to buy my usual cat food when I happened to mention this to the woman behind the counter. She stopped everything she was doing to give me a comprehensive lesson about pheromone sprays and how they help calm a stressed cat. She spent a lot of time showing me brands and explaining the differences. I passed all this information onto my friend. My friend went ahead and got a product based on these recommendations. Later, after the trip, my friend told me that the spray was indeed effective. It is a beautiful store that is well laid out, they have great products and an extremely friendly, very knowledgeable (beyond the expected) staff.

Love Salty's. In my hood, lots of high quality food not just for dogs but also cats. Moredate selection of toys and accesories (like litter boxes, collars and leases, so on). Last time I was in they had the doggie version of a mitten tree-- it has ornaments with a picture of a dog from Family Dogs New Life Shelter on the front and what that dog would like for Christmas on the back. I bought some treats for a dog who had been there a while. So, I like that they are community minded in that way. Last year I think they also had an adoption drive for one of the shelters too.

The woman working was SO helpful and they carry a brand of dog toy that is my new favorite. A friend recommended a toy she got at Salty's called the Beba Toy made by DuraDoggie. My dogs chew through everything but this one comes with a 15 day guarantee- if your dog destroys it in that time frame they will send you a new one for free. There is one end to put treats in & the other end squeaks; this is the only squeaky toy my dogs haven't demolished. Another bonus is the company DuraDoggie donates 20% of their profits toward one of four charitable causes (depending on the color you buy). I also bought treats and was pleasantly surprised to get a discount b/c it was happy hour! Yay for Saltys!!

This is a great neighorhood pet shop! I came in to buy a bag of food for our dog and they happened to be out of the 35lb bags so they gave us enough free samples to get by until the next shipment came in. Great service and I love the old cat that hangs out on the counter!

We stopped in while waiting for a table at the restaurant next door. We thought we'd bring some Portland treats back for our fur babies. The dog cookies are crack....my dogs love them sooooo much and the best part is that they don't upset their tummies or give them bad gas. Lucky I will be back to Portland for business to pick up some more. I wish they had a way we can order online. :(

cute pet store with a good selection of chews and treats, but unfortunately they don't carry our brand of dog food. they also have dog training classes in their back room, and we have been taking our puppy to puppy kindergarten there - so far they have been great! the staff are always friendly and fawn appropriately over my baby, confirming that i do in fact have the cutest puppy in the world.

I feel bad knocking a small business, but my experience here last time as a cat owner was not the best. Maybe this place is better suited for dogs. I adopted a cat earlier this year, and we've been doing lots of diet experimentation. I had been to two small-business pet stores in Vancouver and had been to Mud Bay prior to visiting Personal Beast. My first two experiences was positive (I went in for something specific and left with it). My most recent experience a month or so ago, I was searching for limited ingredient cat food. I was unimpressed with the small selection of cat food overall. I was not asked if I wanted help. I found a sample bag of limited-ingredient dry food that I wanted to try, but unfortunately none of the wet foods looked appealing (Petco had better choices). I felt bad coming in and wanting to leave with only a sample, so I figured I would ask for a suggestion on limited-ingredient wet foods that they carried (and verify that the sample bags were ok to take). I was quickly told that I was only allowed ONE sample -- which is what I had -- as though I was there free-loading (if I was free-loading, would I have taken the time to ask??). In comparison to other pet stores who greeted me, asked if I needed help, offered samples, etc, I was not impressed, and even turned off.I was torn today on visiting either Mud Bay (further away, chain-store) or Personal Beast, and I chose Mud Bay based on my last experiences at both stores. I'd rather support a small business, but I prefer the helpfulness at Mud Bay.

Great neighborhood pet shop! Good selection of food, treats, and cool collars, but they could use more harnesses. Friendly staff, decent prices, and convenient location (for me) make for a solid pet shop. Not a huge selection of toys, but the good treats make up for it.

Love this place. I buy $60 bags of dog food, and with their frequent buyer program you get the 13 bag free. I can't wait for the day I get that free one, and its coming up soon. I also have another pet store I love, but the frequent buyer program keeps me going back. Smart idea and great way to honor your customers. Thanks for all of the awesome goodies for our furry buddies!!! Great service too :)
