According to owner Louis Trangucci, Chow Down’s core business is focused on good nutrition for pets, including specialty food for dogs with allergies and skin issues. The store also sells accessories for dogs, cats, and other small pets. Spend over $50 and get free delivery to your home in Larchmont or the surrounding areas (Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, Pelham, Rye, and Scarsdale).
