Dominion Pet Center

This is my favorite store! The owners are so helpful and caring! I had a sick puppy who wouldn’t eat and they gave me great recommendations and gave me a sample so that I wouldn’t waste my money on something my dog might not like since she is sooo picky! I will never buy food anywhere else. I’m a loyal customer because they won me with their kind heart and knowledge. The food they have there is high quality and not overpriced. You will not find a huge variety of toys but they have all kinds of high quality dry and wet food for Cats and dogs.

I love this small, family-​owned business. The prices are not the lowest, but they have everything you need for your pet. The owners in particular are extremely knowledgeable and helpful (they seem to be around on weekdays), and even the young people who staff the store on weekends are attentive and very nice. I like to support local businesses, and I was ticked off when the gigantic PetSmart mega-​chain opened one of their Unleashed locations right across the street, probably hoping to put this modest place out of business. But Dominion seems to be doing just fine, probably because of the great service from people who really know pets.

I used to never go here as they used to sell animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, etc) so I would go to PetMAC instead. Now that PetMAC moved, I thought I would take a look at Dominion Pet Center since I had heard they no longer sold animals. I am very glad I went. They have a great variety of quality pet food, toys and treats. Staff is friendly as well.

ive shopped here on and off over the years because i like to support local and family-​owned businesses.
i would continue to shop here if it were not for this one disappointing problem: they frequently have stuff on the shelf that is past its expiration date. now, for some things this does not matter. i think expiration and sell-​by dates are bullshit a lot of the time, and do not need to be taken too seriously depending on what the item is. for wet or raw dog food and vitamins, though, im not really interested in paying high prices for stuff that is past its prime.
they do have a large selection. the staff is nothing to write home about– young adults with no personality or desire to be helpful.

A great family owned business ready and willing to help answer any questions about food brands and reputation. A class act.

This shop is fine for browsing, as they have a pretty good selection of cat toys and snacks, and the staff at least try to be friendly and helpful. I have, however, walked away disappointed the last few times I have visited, looking for particular (but not obscure) items that I’d think a specialist pet shop would stock, and sometimes their inventory seems a bit haphazard or slow to be updated. The staff, while friendly, seem to be high school or college kids and usually have a «whatever’s out there is what we got» vibe to customer service. They just seem a step off the pace at trying to truly excel at owning their niche, and the inability to impress at either their inventory or customer service level is a tad disappointing.

LOVE this pet store. They used to sell small animals and had a very basic inventory but they have since stopped and upgraded their supplies. This is one of the few places where I can find my dog’s novel protein diet. Everything is very high quality and there are a lot of brands to choose from. My dogs love the attention the employees give them.
Very convenient location and I would much rather support a local business than a mega chain.

Ever wonder how it’s possible for the statistic that «pet owners spend more on their pets than they do on their kids» to be true? Well, here’s one reason why. It’s not the fact that Dominion Pet & Supply is expensive, it’s moreso because they have so much awesome stuff under one roof that it’s impossible to walk out empty-​handed.
I frequent Dominion Pet & Supply because its location is convenient and the variety is pretty decent considering a store its size. I’ve come here a few times for cat toys and the stock changes a fair amount. I also came here to buy toys for a local animal shelter drive– the owner overheard me talking about it and gave me a whole bag of cat and dog toys to donate to the shelter. How awesome is that? Won’t see much of that at PetSmart or Petco…
At any rate, Dominion is great for pet food (especially those pets with special diets or fussy stomachs) or just general pet supplies. It’s great to see that animal lovers actually work here because they can always make great suggestions for things to buy for the little fuzzy one in your life.

Great little mom & pop shop. They carry a lot of the higher end brands that Petsmart doesn’t. If you have a dog or cat who has special dietary restrictions, this is place to go for their food (they have hypoallergenic, high-​protien, organic etc.). They also carry a wide variety of pet toys, brushes, vitamins… Basically everything a chain pet shop has, minus the Alpo… oh and they don’t sell actual pets. :P

I found Dominion Pet & Supply Co to be a great place for buying dog food and other supplies. It has a great neighborhood feel and has a great selection of high-​end dog food. The staff knows their products and was very helpful. After trying several different foods from PetSmart for my puppy (all that she hated) the food the staff at Dominion suggested hit the spot. My dog now LOVES her food and is growing really well. I am personally grateful for the service I received and am certain that I will be a long-​term customer.

Dominion Pet & Supply Co. has a very large selection of dog food as well as other pet supplies. There staff is always extremely friendly and very helpful. Unlike the previous post, I find there prices are very reasonable, but I just buy kibble and not raw food. There prices are on par with online pet stores (without the shipping). There prices on other supplies are the same if not cheaper than Petco or Petsmart.
I highly recommend taking a visit if you are in search for a good Pet store!

I have come to appreciate my dog’s sensibility and «scent-​ability» when it comes to choosing dog-​related businesses to frequent. Sulley does not love this place — and neither does my pocket.
Although Dominion Pet & Supply Center is conveniently located in the shopping center on Lee & Harrison… near a favorite dog spot — Dogma Dog Bakery, I have stopped shopping here. Their selection of natural, raw, and healthy products is fairly expansive they are a lot more expensive than even some of the boutique stores in Arlington (e.g. a can of the awesome, organic Wagatha’s dog biscuits was almost $ 12 here, when I could get it for $ 8.50 elsewhere.)
It feels more like a PetCo than a fun neighborhood pet store. I’m a little suspicious of buying food here too, because it just doesn’t feel very clean. There is often a lot of dust on top of their products, and the bags sometimes look worn.
Overall, find some place else to buy your pup’s food.
