The Pet Friendly Chelsea Mercantile

Fine Living for Dogs on the West Side

The Chelsea Mercantile, located on Seventh Avenue between 24th and 25th Streets is one of the area’s blue-ribbon addresses. A number of famous people, including Lance Bass, Nick Jonas, Katie Holmes, and Marc Jacobs, have called the building home over the years, but friends of mine who live there say they’ve never been inconvenienced by the presence of any celebrities. They said “Never been a bother with all the celebrities… they’re friendly and mostly keep to themselves.”

The Chelsea Mercantile is the combination of three pre-war buildings; it has 21 floors and 354 units. There is 24-hour doorman service, a concierge, a fitness center, valet service, a children’s playroom, and a roof deck. There’s also a Whole Foods on site, so you never have to leave the building if you don’t want to!

The pet policy is very liberal. There are no restrictions for owners; renters must pay a $100 per month surcharge.

There are also many pet stores close by. Sometimes I think there are more pet stores than grocery stores in Chelsea. Pet Central is located nearby on 23rd Street.

Sean is a passionate dog lover and the proud owner of Urban Dog’s Official Spokes-Dog, Bodhi the Weimaraner. His family has always owned dogs, but Bodhi is the first he's been fully responsible for since puppyhood… and he couldn't be more doting. As a longtime New Yorker of more than 20 years, Sean knows what a dog's and dog owner's lifestyle is like in NYC. Besides being a doggy dad and top dog at Urban Dog, Sean also has a "real job" experience as co-owner of a Palm Beach, Florida-based private investigative firm, and as a licensed (pet friendly) Real Estate Salesperson with Douglas Elliman in NYC. Sean also exercised his creativity and business sense as an award-winning journalist, producer, TV marketing exec, and private investigator. When not blogging, working, or playing with Bodhi, he is an avid adventure traveler who has circumnavigated the world, bird-watched on all seven continents, safari-ed in Africa, and SCUBA-dived in exotic waters.
