Everything But the Dog
Reading
The concept for this store was inspired by the owners’ deep love for their own German Short-haired Pointer, and their personal affinity for all things canine is evident the moment you walk through the door. If your dog could possibly need it, they have it, from grain-free foods and teeth-cleaning treats to orthopedic dog beds and natural flea and tick repellent. And if your pup just really needs a snazzy bow-tie or a new toy, they can help you out with that as well.
