Scratch ‘N Sniff

All-​around great shop! The staff is very knowledgable about the pet products they sell, always helpful and make very good suggestions.
On top of having a nice selection of carefully curated products for my dogs, they have whimsical gift items. It’s a great place to shop for someone who’s difficult to buy for because there’s an ever changing selection of the clever, funny, and unusual items.
It’s also my go to place for fun readers, totes and handbags.

Such a cute little store! I was moseying around downtown Oak Park while my husband got a haircut at his barber nearby. Scratch N’ Sniff originally caught my eye because it looked like a dog boutique, but it’s much more than that! They have a ton of fun nic-​nacs for pet owners too.
Treats, collars, toys, bowls — you name it. They have everything and anything my little pup could want. Not to mention an adorable bakery full of dog goodies. I’m super lame when it comes to my dog, so I fully appreciate all the dog related items they have for humans as well! They carry different kinds of dog statues, apparel, greeting cards, and more. I’m a sucker for anything pug or puggle so I was happy to see that in the mix!
Scratch ‘N Sniff is home to plenty of other fun stuff as well. It’s a great place to find unique or quirky little gifts. Think flasks, scarves, bottle openers, photo frames, clocks… you get the picture.
The woman working in the store was very sweet and thanked us for coming in. I didn’t purchase anything this time around since I stumbled in on a whim, but I plan to definitely keep this lovely store in mind for future gifts for friends and my dog Stella!

I think this store is super cute and it has a great selection of cute and silly pet accessories as well as people stuff. The only negative I see is some items can be a little pricey but it is a small price to pay for local stuff at a local business. Employees are always super happy and friendly. Proud to have them in my town!

Very helpful. They ordered what we needed and gave us a call as soon as the items arrived

After reading the Unilocal reviews. I decided to make dive to oak park to visit Scratch N Sniff. I cannot say enough good things about this store. I browsed the isles for an hour and accumulating a lot of cute stuff for both my fur babies and myself. I managed to get my friend very cute birthday gifts as well. This store has many unique items that is hard to find anywhere else. The prices are reasonable for such unique items. The ladies at the store were very friendly and warm. Love this store! Will defiantly visit again. Had a great time.

Scratch ‘N Sniff is a store full of things I never knew I wanted but definitely want now!
Everything in here is so unique, kooky, and cool. The employees are always friendly and attentive, and seem to have as much fun working there as their customers do shopping. Stuff for men, stuff for women… they’ve got it all: jewelry, bags, pocketbooks, scarves, socks, books, housewares, knickknacks, novelties, stuffed animals, baby gifts, pet supplies… I LOVE IT! Most of their products are eco-​conscious, vegan, and all their pet supplies are organic, all-​natural, and super-​wholesome. My pets love this store as much as I do. It’s so great to have a store around that caters to every kooky desire of both humans and our furry friends — and it’s even cooler that our pets are allowed to come shopping with us.
No matter who you need a gift for (or even if you’re treating yourself), you’ll find what you’re looking for here. The inventory changes regularly but never loses any of its charm. I could spend all day in here, and wish I had more money to spend on my visits. This place is just so fun and quirky. I’m never disappointed!

I LOVE this store. It has all the whimsical, cute, unique, and useful things you could think of. Need a luchador bottle opener? What about a flexible flask? How about a horse head squirrel feeder? Have no fear, scratch n sniff has everything random you can think of. I can spend a ton of money here if I spend long enough here. The employees are super nice and the prices are pretty reasonable. Will be back. All my friends are getting Christmas gifts from here.

This is pretty much the coolest store ever! I found some kitschy dog coasters and magnets… just come see for yourself for one of a kind gifts and finds.

Such a fun store! You don’t even need a pet to enjoy the cool things they have. Definitely a place worth checking out.

I could spend a ton of money in here.
Amazing selection of anything you could think of. If you need a gift for anyone, you’ll likely find something different here.

This is a fun place. I’ve been to it a dozen times or so since I’ve made residence in the midwest. The main draw was indeed the pet stuff but it has many other things as well. I find myself there when I’m in search of a quirky gift.
We don’t go to Oak Park that often (the parking annoys me) but we happened to be there yesterday for breakfast and I decided to come here since I hadn’t been in a loooong time.
I ended up buying a «Fuzzy Face» Fred picture frame which I’m pretty sure will be for my brother for his first Father’s Day. It has many fun things such as that. I have to be careful when shopping in a place like this because there are so many things I could buy but really shouldn’t because I absolutely just do not need them. For instance, the guitar shaped spatula. I almost bought this in a similar kind of shop in Louisville. I just can’t.
Most of my purchases here have been breed-​specific dog things. Dish towels, stickers, keychains, stationary, figurines etc. They have lots of treats, food, leashes, harnesses, food dishes, grooming supplies as well.
Also some fun baby/​kid stuff. Mi esposo was going to buy a music print «onesie» (I don’t speak parent lingo) for our niece but I talked him out of it. I refuse to buy clothes as gifts for kids because they grow so fast and she isn’t local so we’d never even see her wearing it. Personal technicalities aside, the stuff is still cute and if I had my own kid, I’d buy it from here.
I found an Archie McPhee product which was pretty cool as I LOVE Archie McPhee.
Oh, there was a really cool hat for $ 40 that I totally wanted to buy and I likely will go back and get it, but I’m trying to be thrifty and not buy things if I don’t really need them but sometimes I see something and I MUST have it. It doesn’t happen often but when it does, I usually cave in and buy it.
This is like, the store I’d want to own if I had my own business.

A cute little store in Downtown Oak Park. Has stuff for your pet and yourself. Nice and clean in there, not too overpriced. The staff are always friendly. (Same owners as Pumpkin Moon nearby) A fun place to stop in when your having fun in Oak Park.

Loved this store! If you are looking for something special for your four-​legged friend or just a quirky doo-​dad for yourself, Scratch & Sniff is the place to go!
I was blown away by the merchandise they carried for cats. It always seems like there are a ton of stores out there dedicated to dogs… what about cats? Even though my cat acts more like a dog, he is still a cat and likes cat-​type stuff. Scratch & Sniff had tons of toys, treats, cat-​nip, collars, etc for my fur baby. I ended up buying the coolest feather wand that has interchangeable feathers, cat-​nip, crispy salmon treats (they smell gawd awful but he LOVES them), and some Weruva wet food (Weruva is only sold in select stores so this was a total score). Finally a store that acknowledges that cats like to have fun too!
The back of the store is home to the biggest (and coolest) leash/​collar selection I’ve ever seen. I actually contemplated adopting a dog that day just so I could buy one of the cool leash and collars. They have tons of pet beds, food/​water dishes, little outfits for your dog (mine would totally wear the White Sox shirt)…the list goes on and on.
The front of the store has a little bakery style display which housed yummy treats… I believe those were just for pups though.
If you don’t have a 4-​legged friend you should still check this place out because they had some really cool items for your home. Remember that toy when you were little that was the bald mans face, and you created a mustache/​hair/​eyebrows/​beard with the magnetic pieces… well they have plates with that same face so you can create a beard made of corn, broccoli hair… whatever your heart desires. Those would be awesome for a picky/​finicky eater. They had an awesome clock that was the wheel from Wheel of Fortune.
I could go on and on about all the stuff but I think it would be better if you just checked it out for yourself!

Wonderful selection of gifts for 4-​leggeds and 2-​leggeds alike. Very friendly and helpful staff. My dog won’t let me walk by this store without trying to drag me inside to sniff all the good smells and get her complimentary doggie treat.

*Warning* you will lose all your money if you walk into this store! I can’t step in without seeing something I want! It’s nice to be able to feel like a kid walking into Toys R Us again.
In all seriousness though, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The pet section is awesome, and when I get the chance to bring my dogs in I anticipate my eyes lighting up for them!
Someone needs to fund my spending habits…

This place is so cute. They not only have dog and cat stuff but lots of stuff for their owners too. :)
They have random cute gifts like purses, wallets, and jewelry. I went a week ago and they had lots of nice glass ornaments. I bought an owl and a Westie dog one. Both around $ 12.

Just paroozing the goods. It’s more than just boutique pet supplies… they have boutique people accessories, home décor and gifts.
I wasn’t too impressed with the variety of tiny harnesses. They have some nice harnesses… but the majority of their XS were big enough for a small pit bull rather than a tiny tea cup pup like I have with my little 5lb wonder.
They have gourmet bakery treats for the four legged friends too!

I am not a pet owner, but can tell that pet lovers would LOVE this store. So why am I reviewing this place? because they don’t only sell items for pets, they also sell really neat items for non-pets…like purses, jewelry, greeting cards, kitchen gadgets… not your typical stuff either, I’m talking very unique stuff. I love this store. I believe the guy who owns Pumpkin Moon (which I also LOVE) also owns this store.
Whenever I am looking for unique gifts, I always look here FIRST. They have really nice, reasonably priced items you can feel proud to give as gifts, or to keep for yourself… after all we all deserve nice things don’t we?

I’ve been shopping here for about 5 years. Everything I get for my dog is excellent quality and the treats are amazing. My favorite dog product here is the IQ Canine Genius. I bought his first one two years ago and he loves it and takes it with him where ever he goes. I just bought a second one that links on to the first and he’s over the moon.
The staff is awesome and answer all your questions. The coolest thing about this boutique is you can find stuff for your dog as well as cool, fun things for yourself!
I can’t recommend this place enough!

I make regular trips here for food, treats, and even kitschy birthday gifts for my friends. Yes, they have GREAT gifts for your bipedal friends too — like baby clothes, purses, barware, jewelry, giftwrap, gadgets and gizmos, and even cards. Why go to Petco and Hallmark, get it all here!
This place is a great local shop, with truly expert employees who know their stuff and will help you find whatever you need for your four legged furry friends. I especially love the little bakery area where you can stock up on all kinds of pet friendly biscotti, muffins and cookies. My dog even knows the sound of the bag and comes running when she hears it.
Prices are extremely reasonable given this is a boutique on a very snazzy street in downtown Oak Park. Easy parking in several lots, or metered parking on the street, and accessible via Metra and the Green Line as well.
