Photos with Santa 2012: A Beacon Hill Christmas

For the past two years we’ve hosted our Photos with Santa fundraisers in our store on Newbury Street, but it has been a little crowded!  Even so, the event raised hundreds of dollars each year for our local animals in need.  Will you join us in this year’s festive fund- and fun-raiser?  All proceeds this year go to a very good, very local cause, The…

Fashion Friday: Zip the Pug Sports a Bow Tie

We’re an impassioned group of animal lovers.  We take the business of choosing & providing supplies to our customers very very seriously.  So why do we carry so much dog apparel each winter?  Doesn’t that make us less serious?

Got Free Pet Food? Enter our Free Pet Food Sweeps!

  You might say I got into the world of pet supplies through the kitchen door.  I grew up in restaurants, and eventually started one of my own with a couple of friends.  That cemented a fondness for tasty, healthy food and local independent business.  Which naturally led to opening Fetch in 2000, believing in the same common sense around food and good health for…
