Our Story

Anjaris Ridgebacks began, as most good things do, with a dog. Patricia Jean Jacobs brought home her first Rhodesian Ridgeback over twenty years ago and quickly learned two things: these dogs steal your heart completely — and finding grooming care and products good enough for them wasn't easy.

So she built the place she wished existed. What started as a small grooming table and a shelf of carefully chosen foods has grown into Erie's friendliest pet shop: a full grooming salon up front, and shelves stocked with natural foods, honest toys, and supplies we'd put on our own dogs.

Today, every dog that comes through our door on East 12th Street gets the same promise: patient hands, natural products, and treat breaks whenever needed. Whether your best friend is a Ridgeback, a rescue mix, or a very opinionated terrier — they're family here.
