The Hound’s Meow

Rather than going to big chains like Petsmart or Petco, I love supporting local businesses like this place! For being small they have a BUNCH of a variety of various things. From toys, to food, treats, and etc. They also carry Puppia harnesses, high quality dog food (at an awesome price), and food for raw diets for dogs if anyone is interested in such since most big chains don’t carry those things. Definitely recommend.

I regularly visit The Hound’s Meow to stock up on treats and other toys/​supplies. The size is small compared to some chain stores but that’s to be expected in a small business — despite the size the selection of items doesn’t suffer and there is more then enough treats/​toys/​food to be satisfied.
All of the employee’s that I’ve ever encountered have been very friendly and willing to help. I’ve even received my fair share of free samples while shopping which both my dog and I love!
Honestly there really doesn’t seem to be a down side to the store outside of the fact that I seem to have the bad luck to almost always miss discount days! I do wish they would remove their small selection of prong/​choke collars from the store but at least they offer very little aversive tools compared to many other retailers.

Very friendly staff. They always have everything stocked, good prices, and great variety of dog/​cat food and treats! The only place I go. Support small business!

Good variety of food, toys, leashes, really everything your pet needs, very nice owners.

I’ve enjoyed shopping at Hound’s Meow since the couple opened their shop. It’s the most enjoyable atmosphere; it is clear the owners take pride in their work and offer exemplary customer service. I know of no other shop, let alone pet store, where the customer service is as outstanding. Additionally, the pet supplies they offer stand far above the local competition’s offerings. I look forward to shopping here for a long time to come and my two dogs seem blissfully happy with all their Hound’s Meow treats and toys.

I grew up in a very small town in Massachusetts and since moving to Florida I felt like I was really missing the community feeling you get from a small town. All the store owners in my old town knew you and your kids by name and always made you feel special. I haven’t found too many shops like this since moving but I can honestly say the hounds meow is one of these places. The store is owned by a husband and wife who bring their 2 dogs to work with them and they are 2 of the nicest people i have met. Always willing to answer all of my crazy questions and even steered me away from a more expensive product to a higher quality lower cost one.
We recently added a new puppy to our family and she was having terrible stomach problems. We spent a ton of money at the vet trying to figure out the issue. We had almost lost hope when we stopped into the hounds meow and the owners suggested we tried changing the food to one that did not contain chicken. Apparently a small percentage of dogs can be allergic to chicken. We took their advice and changed to a lamb and seafood based diet and sure enough no more stomach problems! I can’t thank the owners enough for helping and 100% recommend their store to anyone who will listen.

I love this place! They are always so helpful and friendly. Whenever I bring my Great Dane in there they always give him a treat and even help me carry his huge bags of dog food out to my car. They carry a great variety of premium dog and cat foods (including Fromm which I could never find big bags of) and on top of that it’s independent. I love shopping local here!

Very friendly owners & very knowledgeable. Support local businesses! Plus they accept competitors coupons.

The owners of this store are quite nice, as well as the store. It’s located in an area where there is not much around so they may be looked over. They have great supplies for your pet. They also have a great email list. They let me know when there are great sales.
The last time I went, I saved money for my dogs food. We were both happy about that.

This store is owned by a dog-​loving, super-​helpful couple. They provide attentive, knowledgeable service. We had problems for years finding a food that my dog could digest well. They were able to recommend a new brand to try… and it worked. My dog (and his belly) is happy as can be!

Stopped here after seeing it online while looking for our new dog’s collar. We had been to many of the national stores and received no help on trying to fit the collar on a small dog (yorkie). As soon as we walked in this store the young lady showed us to the collars and then took the time to sit on the floor with our dog and try on and adjust several different collars until we found one that worked. By far my favorite pet store in Tampa now. They also have a good selection of many items. Don’t think you are walking into a national store. They don’t have racks of each item but they do have plenty of items I hadn’t seen in the other stores too. Prices are comparable but I would have paid more for the service. Great store! They will see more of my money I am sure.
