It was the perfect day to shop Four Muddy Paws, because it was National Shop Your Local Pet Store Day. Yes, that is a real holiday. I was so glad to be able to stop by and support the original FMP. Since I moved to Illinois, I am now a regular at their Edwardsville store. Sophia got two new bandanas, two small iced dog treats and one big Happy Barkday Cookie to celebrate her special day. When we did our morning walk, we took the big cookie with us. As we meet her neighborhood friends, we broke off a piece of the big cookie and shared her celebration. The staff was new to me, but I was happy to see they still provided the good customer service that Four Muddy Paws is known for. I may be a regular in E-ville now, but I'll still hold a special place in my heart for the Lafayette store.

When I went a few weeks ago, it was Baxter's 2nd birthday so I let him sniff around and choose his birthday toy and treat. He was very excited to see other dogs walking around and wanted to be friends with everyone (humans and dogs)! The store offers a wide variety of treats as well as specialty treats for birthdays and gotcha days. The workers were also so friendly and when it was time to check out, I signed up for their rewards program and since it was our first time (and a birthday), they also gave me a small discount - which was much appreciated. I now know exactly where to go when Baxter needs more treats or toys. This local shop is just perfect for my little fur baby!

Woof! Woof! Hi, we're Hera and Hebe, two very spoiled German Shorthaired Pointers, and we're here…read moreto bark about our favorite place -- Treats Unleashed in the Central West End. We've been bringing our humans here since 2017 (yes, we bring them), and it's always the best outing. The staff? AMAZING. They greet us like long-lost friends every single time and somehow always know how to scratch behind our ears just right. We get our Fromm's dog food here (yum!) and the baked treats are fantastic -- peanut butter, pumpkin, crunchy, soft... doesn't matter, we'll take one of each. We also love that our humans get to support a local business while spoiling us. It's a win-win: they feel good, and we get snacks. Bottom line: If you have paws, a wagging tail, and a taste for the good life, Treats Unleashed is where you belong. We'll be the ones by the treat counter, tails wagging. -- Hera & Hebe

If I had a dog, there would be so many options for food, beds, treats, accessories, grooming, and more but for cat people the options are significantly more slim.

This place is infuriating…read more Just inside the door to the right, there's a "display" of dozens of small glass bowls. Each of these bowls contain two things; water and a single fish. A single fish that spends it's entire life just floating in the center of a bowl. Anyone who doesn't think fish are sentient and need engagement likely needs assistance with any simple concept. Anyone who doesn't think these fish are being tortured needs to spend a few years of their pathetic life in a cell with NOTHING but an occasional meal. Disgusting.

I made a mental note to come back, because I had to get to a hair appointment. I didn't want to be late and I would have been if I stopped to shop a pet store. Once I got to my hair appointment, my stylist announced she had adopted a new Lab puppy and in the same breathe, told me about this darling pet boutique on The Hill. Yep, it's one and the same. Two days later, my taxes are done and I am back on The Hill. Before going to my accountant, I made a point to shop Ciao Chow. This little shop has a good variety of pet accessories for both dogs and cats. I picked up a couple of new stainless bowls for my fur-babies and a bag of treats that is one of their favorites. I also, picked up a couple freshly baked bones painted in the colors of the Italian flag. I highly recommend that you come shop this local boutique for all your cat and dog food, treats, toys, etc., while supporting a local rescue. That's right, Ciao Chow partners with the non-profit animal rescue, All Paws Safe Haven. So, when you shop here you are supporting both a local business and charity. You can follow Ciao Chow on Instagram and Facebook @ciaochowstl.
