Many customers walk or cycle to the shop. If you are carrying a ten-kilogram bag of food, picking up a dog bed, or taking your dog to the grooming salon, you may prefer to drive. Street parking in the Haarlemmerbuurt is difficult: there are few spaces, especially at the weekend, and the street parking rates in the city centre are high. The practical solution is just around the corner.

Useful to know if you are coming with your dog
