Raining Cats and Dogs

Nice convenient place to get pet supplies. Owner is quirky but friendly. They will order something if not in stock. Best grooming I have had. My dog didn’t even smell like a dog when I got her back.

The only thing this store has going for it is a convenient location if you happen to live on Redmond Ridge. I have never dealt with such an arrogant, condescending, rude owner of a retail business in my life! This man will lie about products, and treat you like a fool if you ask for any product he doesn’t have in stock… His rudeness and attitude are unbelievable, to say nothing of him selling puppy mill dogs… this business truly deserves to fail!
What a shame… I would very much like to give my business to a small, local store, but in this case, I would rather spend the precious gas $$$ and time and go into Redmond than give one cent to this horrible, horrible person!
Read all the reviews… I couldn’t believe it is as bad as it is… sadly, it’s even worse!

Love the Groomer here. They do a great job in a timely manner! :)

My wife and I have been very impressed with this store.
Very knowledgable owner/​manager who enjoys interacting with customers and helping with any questions they may have.
The groomers do an excellent job with our animals who are excited when they get to go and not in too much of a hurry when we pick them up. (That’s a good sign)
There is a good selection of high value products and if something is not in stock it can be there the next day.
The prices are very reasonable.
The convenience is awesome.
The service is great.
I have no reason to shop anywhere else for my two dogs and cat.

We have been using cats and dogs for a little over a year. They are very gentle with our elderly dogs, a bichon and a poodle. They custom cut them according to my specifications and their prices are reasonable. I would recommend them to a friend.

I’ve talked with the employees here and have found them to be very nice, courteous, helpful, and caring. I also have 2 friends who recommended them and have had very good experiences.

I love this store!!!
Raining Cats & Dogs carries the food that my cats eat, and we have gone in there to get other products for our cats as well. The owner is very nice and if we go in there and let him know about any of our cats issues, he can recommend products for us to buy for them that work very well!!!
He even ordered a laser pointer for me and then let me know when they were in stock!!!

Contemplating a dog or cat for the kiddo sometime in the future. Its in the same lot as drycleaner, etc, so thought I would just pop in and see what this place was like. big store, nice and clean. But there is no way around this, the owner is an a-​hole. checked out the puppies through the glass, and since we were there, thought I would see if they had other animals.
me «Do you happen to have any Hamsters?»
Owner «The name of the store is raining cats and dogs»
Me «Well, a simple no would do.»
asshole, I don’t care if you are having a bad day, its just called manners. So, maybe I asked a stupid question, get over yourself. Guess what, not buying that future dog/​cat from you and I will never buy supplies either. :P

Yah, I know, I’m not suppose to buy a puppy from a store. Once I saw this sweet little mini schnauzer I couldn’t resist. I thought it over for a week. I kept trying to talk myself out of it. I went back just to check on her. Welll… she is now a year old and the sweetest dog I have ever had. I’m glad I didn’t take the advice of my friends. I love my sweet little Bella.
The staff is friendly and helpful. They do a great job at grooming my little girl.

I am very aware of the fact that any pet store puppy is from a puppy mill or backyard breeder, but I still like to try to interact and play with the puppies every now and then.
In December 2008, my friend and I visited this pet store. The employee and someone who looked like the owner/​manager assisted us and answered questions. It was rather obvious they just wanted to sell the puppy, and would say anything to achieve that goal.
We were playing with a mixed puppy, I do not recall exactly what the mix was, but was one of the «designer» breeds that people tend to seek. My friend was interested in purchasing her first puppy — NOT from a pet store, but just wanted to play with them and get to know their personalities at the pet store. She mentioned she wanted a puppy who would grow up and not be a high-​energy dog, but a playful one, etc. etc. The employee did not ask a single question regarding her preferences, and instead, said «This is the perfect dog for you. She will not be high-​energy, etc. etc.» I found it highly unlikely for him to know that. This is a mixed «designer» breed dog, a breed that has not been bred for many generations, thus, there is no consistency in what the mix will look like, or the typical temperament. And, how would he know the characteristics of the pup when he never met the sire and dam?
I also witnessed a family who was interested in a Boston Terrier pup, it was a liver color, which is NOT an approved color in the breed standard. Thus, those who intentionally breed for this color are far from reputable, especially since they usually try to profit from The price was very high compared to the black/​white Boston that was there, and the family asked why that was. «Because it is a very rare color for Boston Terriers,» was the response given. That is terrible, inflating the price and trying to take advantage of customers who are unaware of how Bostons should not be bred for that color.

This is to be an informative review, guys: Do not buy a pet from this store. I went in a couple of weeks ago to pick up a few cans of food for my dear cat and saw a pug puppy for sale! I was just beyond ecstatic since I’ve wanted one for years… so my casual walk-​in for a couple of cans of cat food ended up as 2 hours of play time with Puggy. I promptly brought in my boyfriend to see Puggy the next day and he fell inlove with him as well and we decided to purchase the pup. This puppy cost us TWICE what it would have if we had purchased from a breeder. We noticed that the puppy seemed to have a cold and asked the manager about this, she let us know that the puppy did in fact have a cold and they were giving him amoxicillin and gave us a few extra doses to «help clear it up before we get him to a vet» —– Well, we got him to the vet two days later, only to find out that he had pneumonia!!! When I called the owner of this pet store, Irv, about this… he let me know that they would reimburse me in STORE CREDIT… mind you, this was going to be $ 100’s of dollars… and repeated visits to the vet. I called the owner and argued with him numerous times about the fact that we bought a sick puppy from his pet store and that they should pick up the tab for his illness! (By the way, the Vet let me know that he has seen 3 other dogs from this pet store with pneumonia and that he would contact them about the proper handling and care of their animals)
ANYWAY, to date, the owner has paid two of the bills… but it has become a HUGE headache every time I have to contact him about payment since our new puppy is still not well and on some aggressive, expensive treatment. So I’m stressed about my new, sick puppy and CANT return him, and I have the added stress about these medical bills I cannot afford. I knew firsthand that it would be costly to have a puppy, but never anticipated hundreds of dollars of unnecessary bills right away!
A word of advice, beware of pets bought from this store!!!
