Doggy Dao & Cat’s Meow

i can not say enough good things about Doggy Dao. We are all profoundly fortunate to have such easy access to the best quality food, toys and accessories here in the valley. The service is always absolutely personal and first rate, and the staff know both their products and their «customers» needs inside out. I never hesitate to ask for recommendations and I’ve never been denied help or advice when I sought it.
This is one of the highest quality establishments I’ve ever encountered anywhere.

Best place in the lehigh valley to find the healthiest pet food. Clean, with a well stocked, big selection of dog & cat food. There IS a parking lot in the back so you don’t have to park on the main drag.

3−21−13 I’m upgrading my review from 2 to 5 stars, because truly, they have become as good as it gets as far as pet needs, since that first visit. The previous experience in my original review was a fluke, and/​or they’ve improved for sure during the number of return visits I’ve made since then. I’m very sorry I hadn’t updated this review sooner. Please spread the word about this spacious, clean and pleasant shop.
I would recommend taking the time to go through the steps to read the five 2012 filtered reviews for more details about their services and offerings. Excepting the reviewer attempting to dismiss my review regarding signs that one can’t «actually see from the street,» (isn’t that the point of proper signage?!) everything else reviewed up to this date is accurate.
I’ve continued to shop here, because really, they are the only shop in the Lehigh Valley, (of which I’m aware) that carries such an extensive line of organic, raw and hard to find healthy pet foods, and I prefer to shop at local, small businesses instead of large chains to help the local community whenever possible. They do special orders and hold decent sales from time to time in which you can stock up. Amazon and other online webstores cannot compete with their regular prices, especially when you add shipping costs.
9−14−13 Update to below: I’m so happy to announce that they’ve added beautiful green awnings with their name boldly printed in white across them. As I was driving down the street yesterday, there was NO WAY TO MISS THEM and I wasn’t even looking for them. What a wonderful improvement!
Oddly enough, 7 months later, they continue to lack «proper» visible signage. Currently, there isn’t a sign out front at all! For some odd reason, they are not utilizing a valuable «free» advertising opportunity to catch the public eye on their attached dog training facility. This attached plate glass storefront on the corner is what you will see from the street when approaching in your car from the North (Rt. 78 interchange or from Bethlehem), because you can view it from a clear angle provided by the intersecting street. (The actual small pet food shop sits next door, is recessed, and is virtually impossible to see when driving, because parked SUV’s/trucks obstruct the view.) Until they utilize that great amazing space with large print signage, people will continue to drive by and never really know that they are there.
A big bold-​lettered sign in both front and side street windows of the training center would definitely attract the attention of hundreds of cars per day. They have a very spacious parking lot in back to save you the hassle of parallel parking on the busy main street. Traffic slows to a crawl every workday between 3:30 — 6 pm. (Avoid Hellertown at all costs at rush hour. If you are traveling from the south and back, you’ll be fine. Learn the back ways if you are coming from the east or north or from Route 78 or you can get stuck over 30 minutes EACH way at that time of day.)
