Here are some pics of cute dogs that we took at Laundromutt, at 489 Concord Ave in Cambridge, right in front of the Fresh Pond Reservoir, a park where dogs resident in Cambridge can run off-leash.
Laundromutt is a self-service dog wash, with a small shop that sells high quality food, cute leashes, and other accessories.

The owner Elisabeth, the groomer Alana, and the other members of the staff are so friendly and competent. We loved them!

Elisabeth was a trainer of dauphins, wolves and other animals before starting this business and has a lot of useful insight about training dogs, too.

Walk in and you will probably be welcome by Elisabeth’s dogs, Maya, a 10-year-old German Sheperd, and Brumby, a 3-year-old Australian Sheperd with gorgeous light blue eyes.

Upstairs, in the Barkalounge, Alana’s dogs are having some good time…

Here there is a video showing how entertaining is going to Laundromutt for a dog!

Ajana works as a walker at No Bones About It. She is very sweet and caring with her guests and spoils them with cookies and caresses. Each dog usually goes for a short walk with Ajana or another walker four times a day, and spend the rest of the day inside of the day care.

Karen (below) started No Bones About It six years ago, and she is now pretty popular, as you can see from the number of dogs packed there! The No Bones About it day care, grooming service and shop is located in 1786 Beacon St, in Brookline, MA.

Do you have a dog and a cat? A good place where to buy food and accessories is the The Pet Shop Girls, located in 12 Union Park St, close to Shawmutt Ave, in the South End area of Boston, MA.

Open the door and Pedro, the cat who lived here since ever, will welcome you. This is your last month to have a chance to pet Pedro! In fact, Pedro, and all the shop are moving. Pedro will be adopted by one of the employees, and the shop will be relocated at the Doggie Day facility, in 400 Tremont St.

Other than Pedro (reason n. 1!) my personal main reason to go to the Pet Shop Girls is the good quality food they sell, and specifically the frozen food. Another reason is that they have the most furnished cat section of the area (other than a dog section), including treats, food, toys and accessories.

Heidi Barraza owns Four Preppy Paws, the high-end pet shop located in 103 Charles Street, in Beacon Hill, Boston. Heidi opened the shop last year and she manages it with the important help of Cricket and Chatham Barraza.
The management team is pictured above!

The shop offers a variety of clothes, accessories and treats. They also commissioned the Beacon Hill dogs calendar.

The little Nicolas, pictured below, visited the shop with his puppy Woody and his mom. He is feeding Woody with a cookie that Heidi gave to him. Heidi is selling delicious treats, including cookies from Polka Dog Bakery.

While we were at the shop, one of Heidi’s customers walked in and referred that her sister’s dog died after eating some dog food she bought at Trader’s Joe. The brand wasn’t in the pet food recall list , but it was produced by one of the companies selling other brands that are in the list.
We are very sorry for the small Yorkshire Terrier. With Heidi your dog is as safe as houses: the food she sells is organic and you are not running any risk.

Here are Teddy and Lisa, visiting the Cause to Paws shop in Brookline owned by Terry and E.G.

And here is Molly, a 6 month old puppy who just got neutered. Molly visited Pretty Paws with Brad and Amanda. Molly is friendly with other dogs, but she seemed very upset and started to bark when she saw this stuffed dog. She calmed down when Amanda introduced her to the new dog.

Another partner of the shop is Decia, so funny in her “Little Red Riding Hood”-coat!

Tine is holding the faboulous “I had a nightmare… I was a Chihuahua” t-shirt for dogs, our favourite item in the shop.

Our second favorite item is the peanut butter scented bubbles for dogs. They are strong long lasting bubbles so dogs can play with them for a while before eating them!

Cause to Paws, a trendy boutique located in Brookline, opened two years ago. Terry, the co-owner, became an avid dog lover and pet enthusiast after adopting her first dog seven years ago.

At Cause to Paws, shoppers can find anyting from toys to doggy door-bells! The store even carries supplies for cats.

Cause to Paws carries a wide variety in pet clothes from shirts for the tiniest of dogs to coats for the largest of the pack.

Pictured above is Kanji, a 6 year old shitzu-cockapoo mix and Decia, a 7 year old Lhasa Apso.

In Beacon Hill there is an elegant shop called Four Preppy Paws, that we visited last Saturday. Heidi, the owner, is also furnishing the delicious Polka’s Bakery in the Back Bay area. What I liked most is the calendar they created featuring dogs from the area. The pictures are spectacular! The talented photographer is Margaret Crow, who spent a total of 9 months on the project. Below are some other pictures she took.
