The Pet Set

With all this great, warm weather lately- Jasper has been needing his spring hair cut. Two weeks ago, I made a trip to CityDog Market for supplies since his long fur has been getting dirty so quickly, and I've been giving him baths almost every week! Since CityDog doesn't offer grooming (only the do-it-yourself kind), I started searching for a great local spot to take him. After a few minutes on google, I stumbled upon The Pet Set. A local pet store located at Briarcliff and N. Druid (second location in Midtown) with grooming, doggie day care, boarding, and products (and a 4.5 star rating from 62 reviews!), I decided to give them a call. They were available to take Jasper the next day, and I was able to drop him off anytime between 7:30am and 11:00am for his bath and hair cut.

The Pet Set also offers a New Client Coupon for $7 off a full service grooming! The entire grooming included: full coat brush out,shampoo treatment, coat conditioner, hand drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, hair cut on the body, and a bow/bandanna! For Jasper (Cocker Spaniel - 25lbs) it was $49 (without the coupon). That is $20 cheaper than what I used to spend at PetCo in Roswell!

 

Jasper was ready in about 4 hours, and looked as cute as ever with his bandana...well, maybe not as cute as he was before, but that's our fault for demanding he be shaved all over (not a typical cocker spaniel hair cut!). The staff at The Pet Set was very kind,  considerate, and knowledgeable. I will continue to use their grooming service, but I'll probably stick with CityDog for products.

CityDog Market

We had such a gorgeous weekend in Brookhaven, and Cory, Jasper and I spent most of it outside. After a week of dreary rain and cold weather, Jasper went a little stir crazy running through the mud and puddles on Saturday. He needed a bath, badly.

I was out of puppy shampoo, so I decided to head on out to CityDog Market off of Peachtree near Town Brookhaven (Can't miss the sign out front! See Map). I have been in here just a handful of times- mainly to pick up GT wear for Jasper. It's a little on the high-end and pricey side of pet products, but everything is all natural/organic and great quality.  After walking in- I was immediately helped by a friendly associate (not sales-y, just helpful!) and picked out a GREAT shampoo (Buddy Wash, I highly recommend!), brush, and some treats (since Jasper isn't a huge fan of baths...).  Everything was all natural, and made with no by-products, crazy chemicals, or toxins.

For those of you with larger (or really dirty) dogs, CityDog Market also has self-service dog "showers" (see photo below). Specially designed to make it easy to wash your dog- its $18 for 30 minutes and you can use their awesome shampoos, conditioners, brushes, towels, and dryers! In case you have a perfectly clean pooch (or no puppy at all...) they also have obedience classes, pet wellness seminars, and pet adoptions.

I spent a little time talking with Renee (store owner) while I was checking out. She was very helpful and knowledgeable, and even threw in a sample bag of treats for Jasper.

I really enjoyed my short visit to CityDog Market, and now that I know they sell the Blue Buffalo food- I don't ever have to go to a pet chain store again! The only downside to the place is that its the SEC puppy fan club home...
