Pampering Pickle

absolutely love it here. Theresa is the sweetest lady in the planet and has a personal relationship with all regular dog customers. It’s really quite sweet how involved she is and I would definitely spend my money here before anywhere else. My doggies love all of their goodies and we really love the atmosphere.
they are now closed. and i will miss them so much! :(

The Pampering Pickle carries intelligent dog toys to exercise your pup’s brain and body. A tired pup is a much better behaved pup!
The PP also has excellent speakers. Dr Sophia Yin is coming talk on how to keep you and your pup happy and well-​behaved! (Dr Yin is a world-​renowned veterinary behaviorist.)
The owner is friendly and very educated on helping owners have happy, healthy relationships with their animals. This fantastic, locally-​owned pet store is a gem!

I bring my dogs in to Pampering Pickle at least once a week! Not only is it a great place to find thoughtfully selected, good quality toys, treats, training tools, and goodies, but it’s *fun* for me and my dogs. The store hosts social events like a monthly Yappy Hour, plus educational seminars/​workshops by trainers, authors, etc., and even on days without specific events, my dogs get to have an enjoyable social experience in the shop.
I have a business boarding and training dogs (Sierra Dogs,
), and I appreciate having a shop that values and supports reward-​based dog training and other best practices when it comes to caring for our pets.

Pampering Pickle is a great place for all kinds of gifts and goodies for pets and their people. In addition to jeweled ID tags and dog hoodies there are also basics like wholesome treats and food, toys of all kind, and collars and leashes. Theresa, the owner, is super-​nice and helpful and very supportive of local animal rescue efforts.

During a recent trip to Sacramento, my family and I decided to visit Placerville. We were window shopping and ready to get some gelato when we came across this wonderful little pet store.
This store is awesome! The pet accessories here are reasonably priced, and the selection of cute and unique things is great without it being overwhelming. The Pampering Pickle has really good dog treats too (my little dachshund, Sol, tried some peanut butter biscuits and she said they were really yummy!). Also, the staff here are very friendly and happy to give advice on things to do in and around the area — they told me about a wiener dog race in September! I’m planning on making another visit to the town and store ;); I’m so excited!
Besides being greeted by friendly staff, they have excellent customer service! I happened to come here without my doggy because it was my first time in Hangtown, and I didn’t know how pet friendly the businesses would be. I bought a box of reusable dog boots that I thought would be the right size for my girl. But when I got home and tried the boots on her they were too small. I also realized I didn’t have a receipt! I called them right away, explained the situation, and the owner was very sweet and agreed to exchange by mail for the right size. I sent the dog boots on a Monday and received the right pair by the end of the week!

I love this shop! We are in-​between dogs right now so I bought lots of great gifts for my friends and family members little furry friends. They have everything from fancy collars to super durable chew toys! Stuff for the fancy little dogs in your life (I bought a pair of pink sunglasses for a coworker’s chihuahua who wears sun dresses) to a fantastic hiking pack for my dad’s dog (like a Camel Pack for your dog). My mom loved that they had boy dog bling as well (blue crystal dog bone pendant). They will even personalize things for you (like bandanas) which I will definitely use in the future! They didn’t forget the big dogs either. They have a huge, super durable stand up Godzilla! When we get our next G. Shepard, we are getting one of those! We got a bunch of cool stuff and most of it was under $ 20 (a lot of stuff was under $ 5!)!
