Metro Mutts to Close Store & Expand Pet Services Offerings
Metro Mutts (508 H St.) will close the doors to their H Street retail shop on in order to focus completely on their pet services business. The store will remain open through May 14. As part of this change, they announced plans to expand the boundaries of their dog walking and cat sitting area. A statement on their website cited growing demand for these services in the areas surrounding Capitol Hill. They are currently hiring additional cat sitters and dog walkers. Metro Mutts turn seven this month, and they were recently a runner up for Best Pet Shop in a Washington City Paper reader poll. Cash in any outstanding Loyalty Rewards Points now, because they will not transfer over to the pet services business.
Spot On Training, which has long operated out of the basement of 508 H St., will take over the main floor once Metro Mutts ends retail operations. Spot on Training offers a variety of classes, and they are great folks. I took my own dog there. In the future "here will be even more dog training sessions available, and a larger space in which dogs can socialize, learn manners, and generally improve the quality of their lives."

Sorry about Metro Mutts, we have a cat, but, it was a nice little shop.
Once PetSmart moved in, it was probably hard to compete on price on the commodity stuff.
Moving into Services is probably the best option.
Agreed PetSmart has been a boon to the the neighborhood. Reasonable prices! The same thing will happen to the other long standing brick and mortar locations on H st. Realize it now and lower your prices to stop the big boxes or you too will meet your fate.
