Treat Me Right

The New Year is upon us and many pets are resolving to eat and snack healthier in 2008.  We say just because you’re eating healthier you shouldn’t have to sacrifice flavor.  Our collection of Organic Biscuits by Robbie Dawg and Little Lulu are irresistibly scrumptious and incredibly nutritious to boot.  The biscuits are handmade in small batches in Brooklyn, NY and many of the delicious ingredients are sourced from the NYC Green Market to ensure maximum flavor and freshness.  With flavors like Turkey Sausage & Romano Cheese, Roasted Tomato and Mozzarella, Hickory Smoked BBQ Chicken, and Cheddar & Bacon biscuits going healthy never tasted this great before.

Step-In Time

Harnesses are a new growing trend especially in the world of small dogs and choosing the right one for your needs can be daunting.   Step-In Harnesses have become incredibly popular for their ease and style.  The pup simply steps in – you pull the toggle down to secure them and they are off and running in no time.  Step-Ins are great for smaller dogs as the leather is rolled to not feel overwhelming or cumbersome for petite pups.  While function is essential the step-in harnesses are incredibly fun and trendy with styles ranging from irresistibly sweet cupcakes, adorable hearts and stars to hip Buddhas and bad to the bone skulls. Each harness comes with an attached 4′ lead making this harness the perfect accessory for every on-the-go hound!
