About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical Saturday in Portland, Oregon, a delivery driver pulled up to Urban Dogg with something unusual in hand—a baggie labeled ‘special order.’ The vet techs exchanged glances as they accepted it, whispering among themselves that maybe, just maybe, their canine patients would finally get some rest. Turns out, the special order was actually a batch of organic dog treats shaped like bones and steaks—all thanks to a mix-up at the bakery. As word spread, Urban Dogg became known for its quirky deliveries, and every now and then, when things got too quiet, you could still hear someone saying, 'I wonder what’s next from Urban Dogg?'

2. At nightfall, when Urban Dogg’s neon sign flickered on, a mysterious voice began echoing through the empty streets. ‘Your dog needs you,’ it whispered, only audible to those leaving the clinic. One evening, a delivery driver heard the whisper and turned back for a moment, thinking he saw a shadowy dog darting into an alley. The next day, everyone laughed when they found out it was just their neighbor’s pug, who had followed him home.}

3. Late one autumn afternoon, as a delivery driver parked outside Urban Dogg, he noticed something peculiar: every time he turned off his engine, a soft, dog-like whine seemed to come from inside the vet clinic. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—just a quiet vet checking on some dogs. But then, out of nowhere, a small terrier ran up to him, wagging its tail furiously, as if greeting an old friend. The delivery driver scratched the dog’s head, laughed, and said, ‘Guess I’m not leaving until you do!’

4. Late one spring evening, as dusk settled over Brooklyn, New York, an unusual howl echoed through Urban Dogg's corridors. It wasn't the usual bark of patients or staff—it was more like a deep, melancholic cry that seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere simultaneously. Curious, everyone in the clinic gathered around, trying to figure out where it came from. Turned out, it was just a neighborhood dog, lost in song while waiting for his owner—a regular who always brought yummy treats for the dogs. The whole place erupted into laughter when they realized it was just another nightly serenade from our furry friend.
