Without any warning a rude older clerk slammed the shop door on my 6 year old grandson's face. The clerk shouted in a louder than necessary voice that they had reached their maximum capacity of 5 people. My grandson was embarrassed and began to cry so we left the shop.This clerk needs lessons in proper etiquette and people skills. She is a perfect example of a BULL in a China shop... she shouldn't be employed in a pet shop.

We were looking for a gift for our cousin who loves her shih tzu dog and is very selective regarding what she gets for her pet. The sales associate was very helpful. We were the only customers in the store, so she kindly explained to us all the different types of treats and snacks that were the best fit for Willow. She asked us questions about the dog to offer us the best options regarding ingredients, size and health concerns. We also got a few magnets.Our experience here was great.

We absolutely love The Salty Dog! Every time we are in the area we make a point to go there. The owner is so amazing and knowledgeable! I look forward to visiting with her as much as I do shopping there. Her store is adorable and full of unique items! We always leave with goodies for our pups and ourselves! I was shocked to see less than stellar reviews as we have always had a delightful experience there. The owner cares about your pup and wants to make sure the items you are buying are the correct ones. And sometimes they are very busy and with one person working there you may have to wait for service, but it is always worth a visit!! I would give them 10 stars if I could!!😀😀❤️❤️

We loved The Salty Dog! The boutique offered such a fun and wide assortment of both dog and people products. The store is very cute and the kids enjoyed checking out all the toys. I was able to purchase unique gifts for my sister and dog nieces as well as cute apparel and books for myself and kids. Great shopping experience!

My family spent last weekend at Seabrook and We had a bad time in the pet store. We had planned on doing most of our Christmas shopping in Seabrook. The toy store was good, another little gift shop also good.Walking into the pet store the clerk said that my son would need a mask. I politely told her that he was medically unable and exempt. The state mandate does allow for this. She went on about keeping everyone safe and that we would have to leave. I couldn't argue or protest further, my son doesn't know he has sensory processing disorder and I'm not about to say it in front of him and label him. Medical discrimination. We left the store politely and gave up on shopping entirely. We then left Seabrook for good. My family has spent many weekends renting homes in Seabrook for years. No more.You can have your fake beach town with your fake shop and fake people.

We were out shopping and saw this adorable store. We went through and looked at all the fun doggie items, which were so cute! We came across a harness that we wanted to get for our dog, but when we went to the counter to pay they wouldn't sell it to us. It seemed at first like the lady behind the counter was trying to help us find the right harness for our dog, but that quickly turned into what felt more like a condescending lecture on different harness styles and how we need to bring our dog into our local pet store (which we don't have where we live) to get her fitted before making a purchase like this. It was a $25 harness, not a major investment or anything. In the event that it didn't work out, we would have simply saved it for another dog or passed it on to somebody else who could use it. Instead, we were held up for 5 extra minutes and walked out of the store empty-handed. We know our dog and felt comfortable with making this purchase, but this business turned away a paying customer and basically chastised us for even trying. We thought we'd go out of our way to support a smaller independent business, and ironically were recommended to go online and/or to another chain store instead. Sadly we would not recommend this place due to the customer service.

This cute dog store has a wide variety of products. Located in the heart of the Seabrook community. From apparel to treats and souvenirs. The self dog wash is convenient and reasonably priced. The owner is very friendly and helpful with questions.

I wasn’t able to bring my dogs with me on this trip, but I was able to assuage my mom-guilt by buying a few things that I’m sure they will like!

On July 29th me and a couple friends stopped at the Salty Dog because I forgotten to bring doggy bags for my dog. We had left the rest of our family at home so it was just us three adults. I gladly spent $60 on dog bags, treats and a cute toy for my pup to enjoy. 2 days later, July 1st, we took a trip back to Seabrook to show the family around. I was so excited to take my dog and family into the salty dog and let my kids pick out some more treats for her but we were greeted by such rudeness. I have two young children. The first thing said to us before we even fully walked in was that our children need to be masked. My children are too young to be masked. She also commented that my youngest need to leave because he had a drink. He had gotten a smoothie from the market early. He had finished it but didn’t want to throw away his cup. She argued that it was still full. It was not. There was white around the inside from it having whip cream in it early. I felt so unwelcome there. We all, my family and the two other families that walked in at the same time, left. This was the was the only bad service I had received in the Seabrook community.

The Salty Dog is my favorite shop in Seabrook. Every time I’ve come in the last couple of years the staff has been warm & welcoming, and there is always something cute to purchase! They even have a cute cat area for those fluffy friends left at home!

Unfortunately, we will not shop here again. Like others have noted in other reviews, the customer service here can be tactless and rude.We’ve spent hundreds here and was looking to spend more today. Arms full of merchandise, my wife was masked and observing social distancing while she waited patiently for a family making a purchase to get checked out. After the clerk checked them out she excused herself to help a man still shopping. My wife placed her items on the counter and waited. And waited.I was on the other side of the store while our dog met another cute little dog. When the man and the clerk finally approached the counter the clerk said to my wife that she was going to take care of his purchase first! This encouraged the man to push into my wife’s space abandoning any social distancing etiquette. Mind you, my wife was not asked she was dismissed with a curt disdain like she didn’t matter as long as the clerk could keep eagerly talking to this man. Was she pushed aside because she was a smaller Asian woman? We’ll never know.My wife stepped aside and I went over to her. She was upset and wanted to abandon the purchase completely. We left the store and I went back in the at least let the lady know why we not completing the purchase and why we would never shop there again. Perhaps predictably, she was full of excuses saying in essence that my waiting wife was secondary to the man she was helping to complete a selection.Soured by this experience, we left Seabrook skipping our usual snack and/or lunch when we visit. Because of this clerk, the other businesses lost out, too.As I noted before, others have had bad customer experiences here. Thing is, people go to Seabrook for the experience not for this clerk that evidently lacks basic manners let alone forcing an interaction that flouted social distancing protocols. We can get pet merchandise anywhere so now that the experience of being there is ruined, there is no reason to return.Like others, I am sure this review will trigger a defensive and patronizing response that takes no ownership.

We planned on staying in Moclips longer than planned, and didnt bring enough canned dog food. I wasnt about to buy Pedigree from the Moclips convenience store for her...they had an excellent selection of her food I normally buy, such as Merrick and other high end foods! We were excited the Seabrook Grocery told us about them! What a great little shop!

Awkward experience unfortunately...our family of 12 was vacationing at Seabrook...decided to explore the few accessible shops before a fun and family oriented experience at a restaurant up the block...my nephew noticed a "Dogman" plush he really loved in the window...we wanted to pick up a doggy treat for our own Husky also....the limit was 6...in our hometown and around Seabrook , " No Masks" required if vaccinated and lovely people overseeing the pool and maintaining the property. We had 4 family members enter...I popped in and was told I could come in...I stepped out waiting for my nephew to grab his mask....upon entering the the individual in charge pushed the door in our faces and said the limit was reached...incredibly odd experience...had a similar experience at another shop...

Got our great Pyrenees 2 new leashes and a new harness. Extremely kind and helpful. Helped us choose the correct size and then let us try out the harness by letting us walk outside with our dog. Thanks for the great customer service.

If you're a dog (pet) lover, you'll enjoy this little shop. We forgot our dogs leash and found a great replacement. The person who helped us even helped us get our dogs harness on.

I wasn't a huge fan of the squeaker toys. The swimsuits did not have a back, just a front.
