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…

Pugs Are Ridiculous Creatures, Pt. 1
Pugs have football-shaped bodies and tiny little feet. They look at you with wide eyes from behind their squished noses, expecting you and everyone else to see them as creatures much larger and more frightening than they are. Their wrinkled brows make them look so serious, yet they do the most ridiculous things. Have you seen this video of a pug singing the Batman theme…
Dogfriendly Neighbors: Marimekko on Newbury Street
Many of customers bring their dog to the store to pick out his/her own treats and toys and beds, and we of course love that. I often wonder though if our customers know how dog friendly our neighborhood is. You can actually bring your dog into most stores in Back Bay, and chances are, you’ll be offered a dog treat from one of our bottomless…
Lonely Harness, Collar and Leash Sale
We don’t like seeing any of our gear feeling lonely, watching other collars & leashes & harnesses being chosen day after day while they languish on the racks. Adopt one from our sale buckets (there’s more than one) and take 30% off! Take home a leash/collar or harness combo (they don’t have to match, but they have to be from the sale buckets) and take…
Dogurt
Today was HOT. I kept thinking of Eddie Murphy in the SNL James Brown’s Celebrity Hot Tub skit. At least that got me laughing. Zip didn’t have many options for fun today though. We couldn’t walk more than about 5 minutes; the heat was too oppressive. And the air conditioning inside our apartment is just not strong enough for high temperatures and high humidity,…
Twofer Tuesday: Hungry Dog Value Pack
If you have a dog, you probably go through chews like crazy. It’s not cheap. That’s why we like Merrick’s Hungry Dog Super Value Pack . It’s a 2 pounder of quality mixed chew misfits, all US, all natural, but either misshapen or undersized so they don’t quite make it to headline on their own. Today’s Twofer: buy one Hungry Dog, get a second FURR-EEEEE!
Recall: Catswell Treats, July 27 2012
Though I like the company Dogswell (maker of Catswell), we won’t carry their products in our Boston store because they are made in China. I’ve spoken with them about it a few times, and I do trust their sincerity and integrity. It’s not Dogswell that I don’t trust, it’s the lack of transparency in the food supply chain in China. On Friday, Dogswell issued a voluntary recall…
