George is a design-forward shop in Larkspur’s Marin Country Mart where you’ll actually want to spend time browsing—even without a dog in tow. The store makes much of what it sells, which means the aesthetic feels intentional rather than like a random assortment of pet products. You’ll see dog beds, collars, dishes, and carrying cases that lean toward mid-century modern design, with a color palette that doesn’t clash with actual home décor. It’s refreshing to find a pet store that doesn’t assault your eyes with neon and cartoon characters.

What makes George genuinely different is the curation beyond their own designs. They carry hand-woven stuffed animals from Peru that dogs seem to love, plus a rotating selection of antiques and vintage pet products that give the place character. There are whimsical posters throughout that add visual interest and tell you something about how pet care has evolved over time. You might find yourself lingering just to look around, which probably wasn’t your original plan.

The shop also stocks BARk magazine if you want reading material about modern dog care approaches. It’s the kind of place where you can actually have a conversation with staff who seem to care about what they’re selling rather than just moving inventory.

Marin Country Mart itself is walkable and dog-friendly, so you can easily pair a visit to George with a stroll around the area. The whole setup makes for a pleasant outing rather than a quick errand run. If you’re in Larkspur looking for dog products that don’t feel generic or cheap, this is where you’ll find them. The prices reflect the quality and design work, but there’s real substance behind what they’re selling. It’s worth timing your visit so you can actually browse without feeling rushed.
