Animalerie Bailey Blu, Montréal Reviews (10)
Bailey Blu does some great community work and hosts Moustache Cat Adoption days regularly. My two foster cat have received many donations from them and we can't thank them enough. My kitties have been well fed for over a year now!
We're lucky to have such a lovely, locally owned and operated store in the area!
I went into Bailey Blu for feeding information prior to adopting my dog (knowing they had a raw food line), and I was extremely impressed with their professionalism and respect in our discussion of raw versus dehydrated versus premium kibbles versus national brand kibbles. They never pushed anything, just explained the facts and encouraged me to do more research. In fact, we have had several discussions over the past year and a half on what is best for my dog and we have tried different foods, ending up with a premium grain-free 100% Canadian sourced and manufactured kibble.
I have recommended the store to several people all of whom have had a great experience in the store and all their questions were answered (some went for food advice, others for teeth cleaning advice, others for alternatives to pest control treatments).
In addition to all this, they provide above-and-beyond support to local rescues and animal welfare awareness and education which is important for me in looking for ethical, local companies who “give back”. . I could buy the food my dog is currently eating around the corner from my house, but I choose to go out of my way to Bailey Blu for all of the above reasons.
but prepares it with organic options.
Some say it's expensive, and I had thought the same in the beginning, but when I did the math based on consumption it was less and not more than vet canned wet food for cats. TRUE! It's a false perception.
My animals have never been healthier, and the savings if this is an issue is also less without the hefty vet bills for treatments! My cat suffered from Interstitial Cystitis and has been clear since the change to raw and eliminating dry food in his diet. Their coats are shiny and they are full of happy energy.
Staff always friendly, informed and they actually care about your animals.
Highly recommend this little treasure!
But I don't appreciate being lectured about how I'm killing my cat because I'm not feeding him Raw food. "Kids'll eat McDonald's if that's all you give them." said with great disdain. Gosh - thanks, I *thought* what the vet gave me was fine. "Well, it's not. It's full of garbage." Here's an idea - *politely* invite me to educate myself by writing down some web sites to visit instead of sneering at my genuine ignorance.
The selection on cat toys is also frustrating in that I've mentioned on three visit over the past year, "Those wands with feathers are great. My cat goes nuts for it. The one without the string attached." And they still don't have it in stock. I'm sure they listen to their customers - their regular go-weekly-spend-as-much-on-their-pet-food-as-they-do-on-their-own-groceries customers, but they don't appear to listen to the more frugal regulars.
I as well when I inquired, was given advice regarding dry food vs wet food for my cat, and this advice fell directly in line with my most excellent Veterinarian's suggestions, as it was he who recommended the raw diet for my cats.
We are very lucky to have this store that supplies their own blend without a pile of stuff mixed in it and the animals love it.
My cat's now eat raw beef organ, and beef heart, and dry is not part of the
meal. They took to it off the start and after suffering from chronic Interstitial Cystitis with not much hope, he hasn't had an infection, no blood in his urine
their coats are shiny, they are running like well oiled sports cars now! True!
Also the supplements can be pricey, but less than vet bills for treatments of a sick cat. I put slippery elm to assist other issues my cat has regarding lazy colon, the price of the regular raw is actually is less expensive than a case of Vet food going for some $55 a case. I know as I did the math.
The staff and atmosphere is friendly, welcoming, fun, and well informed, as well I love it that they have such wonderful success with record breaking cat adoptions. They actually care.
Kind regards, and good luck to all those out there with cats who suffer from
urinary Infections, there is a cure, and that is no dry food! I know and have the proof right here purring and happy and full of healthy energy!
I was also absolutely shocked by the bad behaviour of her dog in the shop. I'm all for having pets in a pet shop, but they need to be well-behaved. her dog was out of control. What if he knocked over a kid in their store? Not cool.
Overall, I found the whole shop and its atmosphere a bit pretentious, there are more welcoming stores in Montreal where I'd rather spend my money.
