Unleashed at City Market

Unleashed The Dog & Cat Store sits on Blake Street inside historic City Market in downtown Raleigh. It carries food and supplies for both dogs and cats, and the staff are used to customers arriving with the pet walking in alongside them.

The location is easy to fold into a downtown trip, since City Market puts several other businesses within a few steps and free street parking runs through it. The store is small enough that you can get a real answer from someone who works there.
