Nature’s Variety has recalled a batch of Instinct Raw Frozen Organic Chicken Medallions and Patties because the batch has been found to contain small pieces of clear plastic, which could cause choking or injury. The company reports that no animals have been harmed from the recalled product. Because Nature’s Variety has moved quickly to respond to the consumer complaint & announce the recall, we believe this…

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? Actually, not at all! First of all, some apparel is unquestionably functional, sometimes necessary. It’s a fact that some dogs are miserable without winter protection. How…
Fashion Friday: Kayla Gets a New Dog Coat

Kayla was in recently shopping for coats (well, she was actually shopping for treats and humored us on the coats), and provided a chance to see what we’ve got that fits her special geometry. Her…
Elevated Dining Style
We’re fans of These Creatures, a small company in Seattle that designs and handcrafts steel diners for pets (and leash/coat hooks, and some other handy things like charging docks). Their designs are refreshing. No paw prints or bones here; instead, warblers and squirrels and goldfish, or nicely rendered images of popular dog breeds. Or in this case, a lattice design inspired by woodwork seen perhaps…
Tuesday Twofer: Save 20% on Orijen 6 Fish for Dogs
Sometimes (well ok, often) when we order supplies from a particular vendor (or two), they’ll send us 5 cases of something instead of 5 individual somethings. Which would be fantastic if we didn’t have to pay for all the extra somethings. Usually we catch it, but sometimes it doesn’t become apparent till it’s too late to send the extras back. Today’s Tuesday Twofer is on…
