Companions Pet shop has a monoploy on the market since their nearest competition is probably the Petco up in Cleveland Park. As you can guess, they're in a smaller space so it's pretty crowded, but it's a good place to pick up "apartment" pets -- by which I mean birds, fish, and hamsters. The fish selection is probably the most noteworthy since the largest amount of space in the store is devoted to that section. The prices seem reasonable, but then again I couldn't tell you the going market rate for a guppy.

One of the perks of this doggie specialty store is the ture neighborhood feel it exudes. Outside you'll find dishes of water for all the passing dogs. Inside the staff loves all the poochies brought in. They have a wide variety of toys and supplies for sale, but the main attraction is their selection of treats for dogs. They really take themselves seriously in this department. If you think your dog deserves the best, they'll be treated as first class citizens at Doggie Style.

Friendship is a tip-top operation -- almost. Its fairly new building near the Tenleytown metro station is sleek, clean and modern. It's organized. An online service reminds you when your pet needs to come in for a check up or vaccinations. And there is a mail newsletter and a sophisticated website as well. My only beef with Friendship is that not all of the staff are well-versed enough in bedside manner. When my last cat was dying (unbeknownst to me), I spent an awful week taking her back and forth to Friendship. One vet barely spoke to me and offered vague answers to my questions. Another told me my cat was going to be OK, yet didn't seem to be familiar with her history. Finally, on a day when she was clearly deteriorating, I raced her to Friendship - again. Fortunately, the vet on duty was very kind and told me the truth -- that she had a few hours to live. She helped me through the whole painful process and, when my cat did pass away on her own about an hour later, let me take as much time as I needed to be with her. When I got a new kitten sometime later, I was lucky enough to have another kind and smart vet for her first checkup. My advice....do patronize Friendship, but find a vet that you like and stick with that one. Ask for that one in particular when you make appointments. Otherwise, you may wind up with some smart yet insensitive twit who is better suited to laboratory work.

City Dogs advertises itself at "Day Care for Dogs." It provides both short-term (during the day) and longer term boarding of dogs in their kennels. This business prides itself on treating animals humanly and the staff are clearly dog lovers themselves which makes a big difference when they are caring for your pet. Take a look around the facilities and maybe you will want to board your dog here next time you are forced to leave him or her at home.
