Whiskers is a great independent pet store that stocks some high quality pet items. A lot of what they sell is too expensive for my tastes, like the designer leashes, collars, and clothes, but I love that they carry the best dog food lines available. Employees are knowledgeable and very generous with samples.
They also sell an assortment of pet toys and treats, with a huge line of Merrick bones and chews. There's even a baked goods counter where you can pick up a doggie cookie!
There is usually a groomer on site, though I called recently and they were in the process of hiring a new one. I believe there are also self-service baths as well.
