Debra is an fantastic person. All dogs are welcomed. Great selection of products. Being able to let you pup out in the yard to free roam and play while you order some food to eat is magnificent. I was extremely comfortable and my Doberman loved the treats she makes. There is water bowls outside . She gives out treats to our furry friends on the house , which my little guy loved. Its a mini dog park with nice perks !
We were looking for an indoor place to escape the winter cold weather and celebrate our dog’s birthday. We were lucky to have found Smokey’s! Debra, the owner, is very welcoming and truly passionate about dogs. The cafe has a plethora of toys, clothing, and dog treats, all homemade and made with human grade ingredients. She’s very knowledgeable about dog allergies and how to treat them which was a plus especially when dealing with Poodles and French Bulldogs. She has also partnered with local restaurants so you can order and they will deliver to her place which was very convenient. Our dogs had a great time playing indoors off-leash while enjoying several treats including the Turkey/Pumpkin churros. We were so at home at this place that it felt like family, like we were at an Auntie’s house. 1000% recommend this place and will certainly come back in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor patio!
My friends and our dogs traveled an hour to attend a Paint & Paws events at Smokey’s and couldn’t be happier! We were thrilled with the adorable event, the friendliness of the owner and the cafe! The outdoor play area was decorated for Fall and super secure for the pups to socialize. The store was stocked with high-quality treats, toys, clothing and supplies. We enjoyed the event, playing outdoors and picking up some treats to head home with. We’ll definitely be making more trips to Smokey’s and telling our friends!
