Once you and your furry friend(s) have found a new pet-friendly home, it’s time to find where to get everything your pets need. Sure you can go the Petco or PetSmart super store route, but since your little ones are now pets in the city, spoil them at the chic pet boutiques!
In the South End, you have the pet boutiques Polka Dog Bakery, The Urban Hound, and Bark Place.
The Polka Dog Bakery found on Shawmut Avenue has a wide selection of toys and accessories for both dogs and cats. Additionally this bakery makes the best and most unique dog treats in Boston. Since it’s located around the corner from the Peter’s Park and the Joe Wex Dog Recreation Space I’ll give you fair warning, you can’t walk your dog by and not go in. With their great sense of smell they know irresistible treats are inside even if they have never set a paw in the front door. Trust me: you will not be able to say no.
Bark Place on Washington Avenue has toys, treats, and accessories for your pooch but they also offer grooming. They have a drop off option where you have their groomers make your dog all shiny and new. They also have a do-it-yourself option where they provide the tub, brushes, towels, and blow dryer which is perfect if your dog is like mine and little too high strung to have someone else clean her.
Found on Malden Street between Albany Street and Harrison Avenue, the Urban Hound also offers little treats and grooming as well as a doggie day care if you don’t want to leave your pooch at home while working.
In Back Bay, you’ll find Fish & Bone and Pawsh Dog Boutique and Spa. Both pet boutiques are highly reviewed for their services, have wonderful accessories and treats, and are conveniently located on/near Newbury Street.
Four Preppy Paws caters to the Beacon Hill pet-owning crowd. A wonderful pet boutique on Charles Street that has all the food, treats, and accessories you need to spoil your pet.
