🛍️ Dog-Related Stores & Businesses in the Lake Tahoe Area
Where Tahoe Dogs Shop, Snack & Socialize
When you live (or adventure) in Lake Tahoe, your dog deserves the good stuff — healthy treats, rugged gear, and a friendly shop where everyone knows their name (and their favorite chew). From the West Shore to Truckee, South Lake, and beyond, here are some of our favorite local dog-focused stores and small businesses that help keep Tahoe’s pups happy, healthy, and adventure-ready.
Scraps – Tahoe City
📍 645 West Lake Blvd, Tahoe City, CA
If you’ve spent any time in Tahoe City, you’ve probably seen the cheerful Scraps storefront near the “Y.” This locally owned gem has been a go-to for Tahoe dogs for years, offering high-quality food, raw diets, eco-friendly toys, natural supplements, and more. The team at Scraps truly loves what they do — they remember your dog, your story, and probably which treats you bought last time. It’s one of the most community-minded pet stores in all of Tahoe.
Pet Station – Multiple Tahoe Locations
Pet Station is a staple for mountain-town pet owners, with convenient locations in Tahoe City, Incline Village, Truckee, South Lake Tahoe, and Kings Beach.
Each store carries premium pet foods, outdoor gear, toys, and grooming supplies, plus hosts seasonal adoption and vaccination events. Their staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in local pet life. If you live anywhere around Tahoe, chances are there’s a Pet Station nearby when you need that last-minute bag of kibble before a weekend at the lake.
Tahoe Dog Retreat – South Lake Tahoe
One of South Lake’s most trusted daycare and boarding facilities, Tahoe Dog Retreat is ideal for energetic pups who thrive on play, structure, and social time. Their spacious indoor/outdoor play yards, attentive staff, and focus on safe group interaction make this a favorite for locals and visitors who want their dogs to have a fun, active day while they ski, work, or explore.
Dog Wash of Tahoe – South Lake Tahoe
Nothing beats a warm, stress-free post-adventure cleanup — especially after a sandy beach day or snowy trail run. Dog Wash of Tahoe offers easy self-wash stations with raised tubs, warm water, shampoos, towels, and dryers all ready to go. It’s fast, affordable, and so much better than bending over a bathtub (your back will thank you).
Hot Diggity Dog & Cat – Kings Beach
A beloved Kings Beach favorite, Hot Diggity focuses on healthy foods, thoughtfully curated treats, durable toys, and lake-life gear. The shop is welcoming, friendly, and very North Shore in the best way — unpretentious, practical, and full of local charm. It’s a must-visit for Kings Beach dog parents.
