Teca Tu A Pawsworthy Pet Emporium sits in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and while it's primarily a dog and cat supply destination rather than an aquarium shop, it has earned a devoted following among pet owners for its staggering variety and locally sourced products. The store's shelves are packed floor to ceiling — one reviewer noted they don't carry one leash, they carry hundreds, and their pet food selection stretches aisle after aisle. It's the kind of place where browsing becomes an event, and more than one customer has compared the experience to wandering a toy store as a kid.
The staff earns consistent praise for being helpful without being pushy. When one customer needed to fit a harness on a reluctant pug, employees patiently worked through multiple options until they found the right one — a level of hands-on service that's hard to replicate online. Another shopper purchased several dog sweaters with a generous return policy, bringing back only what didn't fit.
That kind of flexibility and trust builds real loyalty. Locally made treats and creative dog cookies are a particular draw, and the store stocks leather and turquoise collars and leashes that reflect Santa Fe's distinctive Southwestern aesthetic. Some customers have even found puppy food priced lower than Amazon, which is notable for a boutique pet shop.
They also facilitate cat adoptions and maintain an online store for out-of-town fans who want to keep supporting them from afar. While Teca Tu doesn't appear to carry fish or aquarium supplies based on available reviews, it's worth mentioning for any Santa Fe pet enthusiast making the rounds. The store's loyalty program, vast inventory, and welcoming atmosphere — dogs are invited to browse alongside their owners — make it a standout destination for dog and cat owners visiting or living in northern New Mexico.

This the BEST pet store I've ever had the privilege of shopping at!! High quality products, many locally sourced, and knowledgeable staff (but not pushy). If I lived in this area this would be the only pet store I shop at, will most likely be purchasing off their website to support them more!

They took the time to help us fit our new pet with a harness. Our pug hated the first few, I'm glad we were able to try them on as we would have settled for an ill fitting one if we had been shopping online.

This place is absolutely amazing!! Whatever you're looking for, you will most likely find it and MUCH MORE!!! We dropped in to the store the first week of January as we had just brought in 2 new small super seniors... and it was getting extremely chilly where we lived! We found so many adorable sweaters, but couldn't decide on colors and sizes. So, they let us purchase them all with the guarantee that we could bring back all unused products with tags still on them. Well, what do you know??? We loved them all except for 2 outfits that weren't the right size! Not only did they make the winter cold air and weather much easier to work with, but they made our darling soulmates look more precious than ever! Thank you so much for loving pets as much as you do and supplying us pet parents with the most amazing products! We appreciate you big time! 5 stars all the way!!!
