Amazing store!! We got a good haul for our dog's snack time this week. The whole thing was about ~$50ish (as well as some beef scraps we got for free at checkout) and my dogs absolutely love it all ?

Close to a year ago I was having work done at my house and the crew took to my dog. The main tech asked me if I've been here. I told him I had never heard of the place. He was excited and told me it's the best place to get bones for your dog. Since I frequent butchers for jerky and peperoni, I always ask them for pet items. 9/10 I get a femur bone. Pig ears tend to be cheaper at Costco and fresh pet food is just too much at $5 a pound for scrap that normally got thrown out. I can buy a cheap chub of ground beef, chicken or turkey for half that and brown it for my girl as a treat. This place had bones in many sizes, knuckles, and other random pieces I've never seen from ducks, chickens and other animals. Truth be told, I questioned if some of it was safe as the chicken feet still had talons on it, but the guy said it was. I grabbed a couple medium size bones; they were $6 each. Not nearly as cheap as I expected. At the butcher I get 3 bones that size for the same price as two here, or should I say one large bone that I have them cut into 3 pieces. That said, their bones did look well roasted, and the places had a smokey aroma, and there also appeared to be a lot of marrow in the bones. The place comes off as dark and dank, it didn't even look open from the outside. Some LED lighting and pictures of dogs enjoying the product could really infuse some life into the interior. With a single product line, you won't be Mud Bay, but you could surely compete on that level. As several others have noted in their reviews. The guy could not have been nicer. Very personable and actually stopped me on the way out the door and gave me a couple pieces of jerky. I had seen them for like $2 or $3, but again, thought the price was too much. That made me feel like my time and purchase was worth stopping and even though, I wouldn't expect that same courtesy next time I came, I appreciate the effort. I'm on the fence here. Nice people, great inventory, but the pricing just doesn't feel reasonable, if you specialize in something and have volume, I would expect your pricing to be more competitive. Then again there was a Pop Shop in Lynnwood that claimed to have the largest inventory of bottled soda in the Northwest. I drove up and at $4 a bottle, a fair amount of their inventory was available at Safeway and Bevmo for as little as $1 at Safeway and $2.50 at Bevmo. Granted, neither Bevmo or Safeway had 15 brang choices for grape soda, but even 3 choices is plenty in my book. The guy lost it when I called it out in my review, and I found out why when the place went out of business a couple months later. Costco has the blueprint. They make very little on what they sell, but they sell so much it all ads up. How many times have you gone there expecting to spend less than a hundred dollars and end up spending closer to $1000. If you are going to make $100,000 a year, it's better you make it off 1 million customers than 100,000, because you ow have a 10x customer based who will recommend and expand your business. When your product is top shelf and your price is competitive, it's the cheapest form or marketing, because you don't have to spend a dime. Just my take, if it were my business, I would not want anyone getting a better price on something I specialize in. I say check them out. Up to you if you decide to return. My experience was truly 3 star overall, but again the people were so nice, I have to call it "Good".

I'd been bringing my dog here on and off. I finally met the owner and he was rude and tried to hustle me by stating that a bone that was previously priced at $50 was now $80. He did not have the price displayed anymore for this bone. He also thought it was necessary to mansplain to me what a femur is and that he's been doing this for 30 something years. To make things worse I took my dog out for a walk and scooped up her poop in a bag and noticed that it had bone parts that did not fully digest. On top of that the bones itself are overly greasy. Greasy food consumption can cause INFLAMMATION OF THE PANCREAS and SEVERELY DAMAGE THE INTESTINES.

Such a great experience when shopping here! The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and warm. He really breeds a strong sense of local community as soon as you walk into the doors. Wish I could rate it 10 stars. The only bummer is that I’ve lived in Renton so long and just ventured into this shop.

It would be 5 stars if they had consistent hours. Between 3 and 5 times in a row now I have gone during the posted hours to find a locked door, sometimes a note.
The quality and price is worth the fail rate

My dog LOVED her smoked knee cap, she actually loved it too much. She was frantically trying to eat it and I didn’t want to just tear it out of her mouth so I had to put food in her dish to distract her. I need to train her to let go of bones apparently. She was trying to swallow it whole.
