For Dogs Sake

TERRIBLE

by kframe9 at Citysearch

My husband and I were in Chicago for one of his business trips. I used this time to check out some of Chicagos finest boarding facilities and dog stores. I was looking for items for my own dogs as well as high quality items to possibly use at our facility for daycare playtimes. I am a manager at a boarding facility 4 hours away from Chicago. On our last day in Chicago we decided to stop in this store to see what was offered. We walked in, she asked if we needed help and I said "No, we are just looking around". We later were in the back by the raw section and I was telling my husband how I wanted to get some raw bones since we had our cooler in the car. The lady comes back and asks again if we need anything. I asked about a ball which I had seen up front as far as holding up to playtime and mentioned it would be for daycare dogs. She flipped out, saying how "I thought that was what you were up too", "it wasn't cool I was snooping around", "how would I feel if she came into my place" on and on. I interrupted her to say, "I don't live around here." She shut up and walked away. This lady is a bitch, we walked out without buying anything. This is no way to treat people! I would NEVER recommend shopping here!!!

Marcia saved us!

by jenneb at Citysearch

My dog used to have chronic intestinal issues until I found Marcia at Ford Dog's Sake. She is very knowledgeable about food and allowed me to get my dog off the Vet Prescription food and the powder antibiotics she was on. She now has a perfect stool and we are so much happier! Thanks so much, Marcia.

• Pros: Knowledgeable staff, great selection, not fake and no frills!
• Cons: Very far from my Condo!

love the products, not the attitude

by vickiashe at Citysearch

i was a big supporter of this store for the care and quality of supplies they have. But then I was there when a client's dog peed inside and the owner completely freaked out at the client. I found the whole thing very strange and have since taken my business elsewhere. Not the way to treat a client (and definitely not the way to treat a dog!)

For dogs that deserve the absolute best!

by bronschar at Citysearch

I stumbled upon this place about 2 years ago looking for some cute dog toys. The owner was very friendly and helpful and we started talking about about my dog. She gave me a sample of some dog food and treats along with some literature on the benefits of this food. I did a lot of research when I got home and from that day forward, we only feed our dogs the food that Marcia suggested. It has made such a different in their health and temperment. For Dog's Sake has such an incredible selection and are always on top of the latest news and trends for pets. If your pet deserves the best, you have got to check this place out!!

• Pros: knowledgeable staff, incredible selection, parking, unique mix
• Cons: wish they had grooming services

Always have the answer!

by ph67678 at Citysearch

What a great place! I have two dogs and the staff is always willing to help out in anyway. If they don't have an answer, they will find it AND follow up. They are great with advice and never try to pressure you into buying. The best place for dogs and cats in the city!

• Pros: customer service is great. Ample parking.
• Cons: The bird can drive a hunting dog crazy.
