Ironbound Pet Shop is the kind of store the neighborhood keeps coming back to: a clean, friendly shop where the staff knows the stock, knows the animals, and takes real care with both. Customers come in for a bag of food and stay to talk birds. Regulars bring their dogs back for grooming year after year.

Grooming they don't dread.

Bath, cut, nails, and a whole lot of patience. Our groomers take their time with nervous dogs, and it shows: owners tell us their pets are actually happy to come back. Wash, clip, and style at a fair neighborhood price.

  • Full grooms and bath-and-brush
  • Nail trims while you wait
  • Gentle handling for anxious or older pets

The bird and fish corner.

This is what we're known for. Healthy finches, canaries, and parakeets, plus freshwater fish and everything a tank or cage needs to thrive. Ask us anything, we like the questions.
