Dogs strolling down The Broadway in Glenelg often lead their human companions straight into Scruffies.

This gourmet pet food shop, painted in vibrant lime green, belies its name by offering a slice of paradise for dogs. The display fridge boasts an array of choices including chicken, turkey, fresh wild rabbit, beef, pork, and kangaroo. Gourmet dishes such as Chicken and Tuna Terrine and Roo Ragout are so appealing, they could easily be mistaken for human fare. The shop also offers homemade treats like liver snacks and chicken or fish cookies.

Every meal is free of preservatives and designed to please even the pickiest canine palates.

Named after the owner’s dog and resident connoisseur, Scruffies is a testament to their love for all pets, mirrored in the care taken to prepare each meal. No request is too small, large, or complex. While David expertly trims a bone to your dog’s specific size, the team attentively considers your pet’s dietary and health requirements, offering tailored meal suggestions and even personalizing a doggie birthday cake with your pet’s name.

Scruffies’ commitment to friendly service and high-quality pet food at fair prices has made it a favourite across South Australia. Patrons from distant locales like Broken Hill, Port Augusta, and Kangaroo Island call in orders, and upon arrival at Scruffies, find their purchases freshly packed and ready for pickup.
