In the heart of Fountain Square, City Dogs Grocery is an independent, woman-owned pet boutique focusing on health and wellness.
Owner Christi Rider bought the store in 2017 after having worked as a pediatric nurse for 20 years. Rider’s passion for animals drove her to switch careers and focus on providing Indy-based pet owners with the best quality products and services — from nutritional counseling to healthy food and treats, grooming supplies, toys and accessories — for their beloved dogs and cats.
City Dogs Grocery focuses on pet nutrition and supplements, and each of the products are hand-picked by Rider before going on the shelf. The store carries a wide range of all-natural and holistic brands, including Bocce’s Bakery, Chilly Dog, Austin and Kat, Barkworthies, Boxiecat, Earth Animal, Feline Natural, Haute Diggity Dog and more.
The pet boutique, which has been voted “Best Local Pet Supply Store in Indy” three times frequently gives back to local animal rescues and shelters. City Dogs Grocery hosts in-store adoption events and fundraisers to help animals in need find their “forever homes.”
City Dogs Grocery is at 1028 Virginia Ave. For more information, visit citydogsgrocery.com. To get in contact, call 317-492-9770 or email christi@citydogsgrocery.com.
