Having a new puppy requires lots of supplies and lots of cash if you shop at Petsmart. I like Petsmart and will still go there for food and grooming, but our dog trainer told us about Ryan’s and my first visit made me a fan.
I was unsure at first and had to ask about the “rules” like no purses allowed — they lock ’em up in a cage behind the registers and give you a number to retrieve them later. Also there’s a $25 minimum so don’t go unless you need a few things. And the catalog is king. Prices aren’t marked on items only listed in the catalog.
I shopped blind (just got what I wanted without consulting the catalog) and spent a little more than I had anticipated, but it would have been a heckova lot more at any retail pet place. I grabbed a catalog to look through for next time and felt pretty good about my future with Ryan’s.
Ryan’s Pet Supplies is located at 1805 E. McDowell Rd. — 877.401.7387
The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core. DPJ hopes that by partnering with Yelp to spread the good word about well-loved Downtown spots, you’ll spread your patronage and support local business.
Yelp is a social networking and local search engine that provides the reviews of places and things that matter to you. Simply log in, pick a place and queue up your inner critic. You can write a beaming review of your favorite gelato spot, or a scathing portrayal of that rental car facility you had to use after that curb came out of nowhere. Yelp’s reviews are at once honest, uncensored, wildly hilarious and true. Heck, the site must be doing something right — it had 26 million viewers just last month!
