I have been a customer of this exclusive shop for 9 months since suddenly arriving in Chicago in august. my mother was being treated at a hospital, subsequently died. i purchased a very expensive pet bed, in late november or early december. i was told they needed to order the cushion, which without, my dog couldn't even see one the top of the cushions. I was given the run-around for over a month as to why this cushion was so late in being delivered to the store. first it was the order, then it was the truck, and then, i had to leave town in december, and actually been spoke with the owner about maybe working together on a store in New Mexico, so she knew i was going to be gone for quite a while. i even called twice to tell them i would not be home for a while, NOT to sell my cushion, as i couldn't use this expensive bed without a cushion. Upon my return, i was having someone pick it up for me, only to be told they sold it- the manager, didn't know this, and asked me what i wanted to do!! nobody called me, to say they had sold it, did i want another asap, or to see if i was really not coming back. no phone calls were made. But the nerve of the owner, Marcia, to take the phone from her manager and proceed to shout and scream at me, admit that a customer with money stood in front of her, and wanted to uy the pad, so she sold it!! this was totally un-acceptable. then she's screaming that i was rude, and that i didn't call! I spoke to her each time, but she's always so damn rude and in a rush when i call, that she doesn't even remember talking to me! but to scream at me, and hang up, now leaving me with no mattress, and a $250 bed, that my dog cannot even use. they refused to take it back, as it was used. but its been leaning against a wall, since it has no cushion and he sits on the hard floor.

Let me tell you a little bit about me experience. When we walked in we were greeted by a customer not even the worked,. We went there for a leash and collar for my bully. It was our first time in the store and i heard great things about the place so we went on a last minute shopping for out dog. Not on time did the lady help us. Not one time did she give an honest opinion besides "it fits great." We would ask do you have other styles and she would simply say "what there is what we have."

I've been wanting to go here for a while(2 month attempt). I tried to get information about the store, because hours vary. I saw the owner receiving a shipment and inquired about her merchandise. She was a bit busy in her defense, but instead of giving me any attention, I felt like a burden. I said, "Excuse me, is your product online only. She said No, it's a retail store." I then said Well ive been trying to come here. Her response was well im busy getting my inventory now, and walks away. I know this seems petty, but if you want patrons, we need information, even if it's brief. All she had to say is you have to go online to my website." I'll be with you in a minute, etc. Most importantly, just take a second to respond to the inquiry. Instead, her actions seemed to give off . Why are you bothering me?I try to support small businesses, but a small transaction like this makes it frustrating. By the way coffee shop in this building is awesome , with best customer service.

  • Ewa Bednarczyk

We came to pay a visit for my dog's upcoming birthday celebration after a friend recommended this store. I live in the suburbs but the drive was definitely worth it! The owner was so kind and polite, she treated us to some samples of their famous empanadas for my two fur babies and was very kind in explaining the ingredients in the baked goods. We picked up a birthday cake and some of those delicious empanadas! Service was very kind, and professional. Marcia is passionate about baking and animals and she did a great combining those two. Definitely visit this store for some awesome pet accessories as well- they have a lot of cool unique items! The only reason it is not 5 stars is the parking was a tiny bit challenging around there! But otherwise amazing!

  • K Daniel

Boutique pet store catering mostly to dogs but with cat supplies as well. There is a resident(?) Scottie there that's adorable. Rather pricey, but a very high quality selection of food. Could use wider variety of cat food (but it is a dog store!) Don't come here if you want Purina or Nutro. I think cheapest brand was "Call of the Wild" for cat food. They have a very interesting selection of fancy accessories for your dog and cat, so if you're looking to treat your pet, this is the place! Owner is helpful and friendly. Make sure you sign up if there's a reward program for your food purchases. This business is nestled right by the 606 in the same building as an archery range and another business. Parking on site in a lot off Kimball.

I was told about this place from a family member about how they make cakes for dogs. Together with family, we went to visit the place because we were actually looking for a cake for our dog Lucky who turned 14 years old today. It was a nice place to visit. There were many nice things for both dogs and cats, and the cakes were so cute. They had cookies, cupcakes and different size cakes. The one cake I bought for my dog was made of peanut butter. Marcia was there to help us pick a cake for our dog and she was professional and informative about her products. Our dog Lucky was so surprised on how yummy it was that it will be a birthday he will never forget.

  • Ladawna Crawford

Wow this location has the worst customer service every. I’ve never been the this place but I found them online and had a couple questions about there cakes for my boys 1st Birthday so of course this my 1st time even looking into it so I called the store an a woman picked up she told me to go online and get an idea of what I would like and call back so I did just that but still had a few questions because I have dogs with sensitivity issues so I called back as she said to do only for her to hang up and my face and now not answering the phone because I asked 1 question just rude and no I will never call back I’ll take my service elsewhere

  • Brian Bolli

Very nice pet store with a focus on funds and cats, offering a plethora of unique items with transcend the cheap, poorly manufactured countertops at big box retailers selling pet supplies. Perfect example being a cat scratcher that actually looks very cool and like decorative are. The selection of foods, both canned and packaged, wet and dry; is beyond impressive. They're involved locally with many initiatives helping animals and offer sitting services. If your a person who considers a pet as an extension of you're family, then this is the pet store you've been looking for!

  • Frankie Sharp

Checked this spot out yesterday. Parking in their lot at certain times of the day can be difficult but were isn't parking difficult in Chicago? Was greeted by a nice employee who helped me find what I needed and dhe gave my doggo some treatos. The store itself had a good array of items and dog accessories, beds , leashes, bowls etc etc. But the reason this place deserved 5 stars was the employee and how sweet she was. Didn't catch her name as we only talked about Frank my dog, but shes probaly the only employee from Portugal! Thanks again.

  • Brenda Watrach

Never really one to share negative reviews, but I walked in and was extremely polite and asked what was recommended for my dog to eat because he was eating a lot of grass (usually means something is up with their tummy or they’re lacking in something) The owner just said she has no idea and walked away from us back to the front of the store. I was hoping for some recommendations or follow up questions, but that wasn’t the case. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately will not be back due to lack of customer service.

  • Christine Wong

This place is amazing. My rescue dog Noodles had a reunion with 10 of her littermates and her mama for their 1 year old birthday. We ordered a birthday cake here in advance, and it was lovely working with the owner Marcia. She uses all organic ingredients and even made the cake bigger to make sure there was enough for our large group of pups. The store is well-stocked with a variety of high quality food, chews, toys, pet clothing, and baked goodies. We will definitely be back!

  • Marc Desciscio

We found this place being new to town from the locate supplier search from the brand of dog food we feed our fur baby. This place is amazing and has all kinds of great products for your pup. For exactly the food we needed along with some other good quality chew things and treats. The lady was soo friendly and helpful we felt welcomed to our new city. This is a great stop for anyone needing any supplies for their pets.

  • Rachel Rawr

I’ve been coming here for years since I moved in. They have the products and knowledge that a trained human dietitian/herbalist like myself trusts. When I really let known how upset I was over my cat’s lymphoma prognosis. She brought her cat out to let me vent my feelings to her kitty. The cute thing cooed like an owl the whole time and really cheered me up. She gave me some products that I’m sure will help.

  • Oana Manta

We got our dog Rye Bread a little birthday cake from For Dog's Sake earlier this month, and he absolutely loved it! We also picked up an adorable bowtie for him while we were there. The owner kindly helped us choose the best cake for our dog, gave him lots of pets and treats, and even gave us a free candle for his little cake. We will definitely return! Thank you!

  • Lara Trevisan

Marcia, the owner, is keeping an incredible selection of healthy food! I needed something very specific for my cat and she not only had it, but introduced me to similar other brands that I didn’t know. She also helped me finding a good holistic vet, and I can tell she really dedicated her life to animals. Such amazing experience, and incredible human being.

  • Karen Alva

Went in to get a cake, i just wanted a simple cake anything that they had ready was perfectly fine. She went on about placing an order and emailing them, the owner was absolutely RUDE, it seems like other people have had similar experiences. Sad that I tried to support a local business and their lack minimum respect for their clientele drove me right out.

  • Deborah Drlich

What a gem! Marcia and her beautiful store are both a gift to the neighborhood and a 'candyland' for my pooch! This shop is a destination worth the trip! Product selection is amazing when you're seeking that perfect food, perfect treat, perfect bed, perfect collar for your perfect fur baby! How did I not know of this sooner!?! Exceptional in every way!

  • Megan Williams-Friemel

Owner and staff are super helpful. The products are great as we know we're giving our dog the best. Her fur is always shiny and soft because of good nutrition. It's great to support a small business that cares about their customers and their pets. We shop here almost exclusively for our dog. Only time we've had to go elsewhere was for a lifejacket.

  • Amanda Davis

Fun and caring business owner who does exhaustive research into the products she stocks and recommends, and puts great effort into making her store an inviting local spot. Support this business if you care about people with souls and not just MegaCorps mailing everything to minimize your contact with living, thinking humans.

  • Sarah Bracken

I love this store and so thankful for Marcia's help over the last two years. They stock many specialty items and even have a pet bakery! My hound was always excited to go in for a tasty treat and head scratch. You won't find better deals at Krisers or another comparable pet store. Definitely check it out!

  • Roman Kureiko

I can't say enough warm and genuine words about this place and the owner. They always make you feel home. The approach to animals is holistic, the prices are reasonable, the level of customer service is outstanding! I only wish it would be next door to me, instead of 25 min drive …

  • Mariane Boldori

What an amazing store! All products top quality, beautiful toys and clothes. The owner is absolutely knowledgeable and a pleasure to chat! I am so happy to have found this cute store and I will certainly keep coming back. The dog birthday cake was a success in our fury party!!!

Very lucky to have found this place. Incredibly unique selection of accessories, foods, and other items. Owner is so very friendly and welcoming. I’ve never seen the quality and selection of dog collars and leads anywhere in the city. This is going to be our go-to from now on!

  • Carrie Roitstein

Marcia is a true expert in the field. My Portuguese Waterdog lived to 16.5 because of the nutrition that For Dog’s Sake provided. I have a new pup now 5 years later and the selection and service brought me back again! Highly recommend for premium exceptional products!

  • Ayna Virk
