I was referred to Green Dog by my new veterinarian clinic, Two Rivers, for a raw food diet for my dogs. Both my Sharpeis were suffering from ear infections, hot spots, allergies, and stomach issues. The staff at Green Dog were very helpful and guided me through all the options for the raw diet. (I was totally shocked to find out that raw chicken, turkey, and duck necks could be eaten without any fear of the bones shattering and becoming lodged in their throats or stomachs. If fact, the bones are soft, when raw, and are good for their digestion and, as an added benefit, also helps clean their teeth as they are chewing. I had been giving my dogs ham bones after making soup and learned that it was not a good thing to do as cooking bones makes them brittle and they could do exactly what I thought chicken bones would do, and that it could do them a lot of harm.) Both dogs were not excited about the raw food, but I now have one dog eating it exclusively. The staff at Green Dog gave me suggestions and tips on how to introduce the food but one dog, being very stubborn and not accepting change, wouldnt eat the raw food at all. My vet suggested that she be put on a high quality, grain free, canned dog food. Green Dog staff helped me find one and she ate it immediately. The cost of doing this, of course, is more than buying a bag of dog food, but the canned food from Green Dog is no more costly than the mediocre canned dog food at the big pet stores and the sub par canned food at the grocery stores. After two weeks on this healthy diet, my dogs are looking so much better and acting a lot peppier. Their digestive issues are almost gone and their ear infections, hot spots, and allergies are completely gone. Im hoping that this will translate into fewer trips to the vet and, most of all, a better life for my "babies" without all the painful ear infections, mucous-filled, itchy eyes and stomach issues they were continually getting. I did a lot of research on what is actually in the big name dog foods and I was outraged and appalled by what I learned. I would rather have my pets eating human grade food than risking their health by giving them the unregulated garbage that is being advertised on TV. There is a good book written by a veterinarian, Martin Goldstein, called The Nature of Animal Healing, that is very informative and talks about what the pet food industry is selling to us consumers and how it is affecting the health and longevity of our pets. Read it and weep.

My dog MoJo and I have been shopping at Green Dog Pet Supply for over 2 years now and have never been let down. Whether shopping for a dog or cat (recently added a cat to the family) I can find what I need and be assured that the products are safe. They carry a large variety of toys, treats and food for both dogs and cats including organic options, oils and supplements. None of the recent recalled pet food or toys have been sold at Green Dog. If Ive got a question or concern I can discuss with Christine or Mike and usually they have an answer and if not, they will find one. If Im looking for something they dont have on hand they will order it for me. Not only are the food and supplies environmentally friendly but the building they had built is as well. Green Dog also carries many locally made items. I recommend Green Dog Pet Supplies to all my friends, whom now all also shop there. One thing to note: This store carries only Dog and Cat supplies.

WOW. I just moved to Portland and was starting what I thought would be yet another scavenger hunt to find a product which not many retailers carry. I hopped on Google Maps and put in "pet food, Portland, OR" - and Green Dog was the first result. A guy named Mike picked up and told me that although they dont carry my item, they order it regularly for a customer and would be happy to just order two each time so Id have a supply whenever I needed it. And its the same price as Ive found online but without any shipping - so I get a great deal, too! THIS is absolutely top-notch service! I made ONE phone call, found my product, will have it in a few days, and can move on with all of the other fun aspects of getting settled in.

Very friendly, knowledgeable staff, excellent healthy pet food, treats, and supplement selection. They helped me get my very allergic pug onto some raw food that she is not allergic to AND is very healthy for her, they were much more helpful than even my vet (whom is wonderful) in that manner. Highly recommend, especially if you have a pet that is allergic, has skin issues, or has been on lots of antibiotics, they will help you find the right food to feed your pet back to health. I have gone to Green Dog for almost 5 years now and consider them not only a wonderful store, but wonderful friends too.

I purchased the coolest glow in the dark ball for my dog, my son, and myself at Green Dog. After a few evenings of our own amazing light show, it broke. I called a few minutes before closing and explained my story. The girls had already closed before I arrived, but they greeted me at the door, brand new ball in hand and made the exchange. They had to stay late and deal with the paperwork but knew how important this glow in the dark ball was. Incredible customer service!

This place is great! Christine was really helpful. Im chiropractor and I like to get natural food for my dog. Hes a 13yo Frenchie, which is really old. When I moved here he was apparently allergic to Portland. After 3 visits to a vet he still wasnt much better. Christine was able recommend just the right thing for him.

This is such a fun hole in the wall shop with everything dog. I really appreciated some advice about what to buy for my dog (suffering from itchy skin). Ive been quite pleased with some soap I purchased.
