If you live in the city and are looking for a place with your basic and average pet care supplies, this is the place for you. However, being the owner of a more exotic type of animal, this store wasn't necessarily the place for me. In searching for some more specialized care accessories, only the larger, national chains will do for me. From an aesthetic point of view, the store is pretty dark, and the animal smell (as expected) is plenty strong, but if you live in the U Street area, the location and reasonable prices are impossible to beat. Plus, if you're a fish person their 48-hour guarantee will make sure that a sick fish doesn't hit your wallet too hard.

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.

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.

I love this place. They let you bring your pets right inside. Whenever I’m walking my dog he wants me to stop inside, by pulling me indoors, so he can visit the staff here. Wow, these are some amazing people. They know how to spoil a dog. This is a great asset to the city.
