We do not offer boarding, grooming, or veterinary services, but we can direct you to the best people we know who do.
Our walls are decorated with the works of local artists, who can be commissioned to do custom portraits of your pet. One of our local artists, Kenton McDonald, comes to The Dog House to draw pet portraits while you wait, starting at $45 for a twenty minute charcoal session on occassional Saturdays at our Tivoli Village location. Please call us at 496-4006 for more information. Don't worry if your dog can't sit for too long - Kenton can work from a simple meet and greet and/or photos. Another local artist, James Shakespeare, will do an exact copy of your favorite photo of your dog in pencil for a donation of $125 to The Animal Foundation. It's a fantastic way to help animals and have a wonderful keepsake!

Unlocking the Natural Restorative Powers of Your Dog's Body and Debunking the Allergy Myth
Class Description: Toxins in our environment and the aging process affect the body's ability to function as optimally as it should. Many of the health issues that result from these inefficiencies are commonly misdiagnosed as allergies, and the drugs used to treat them suppress the symptoms rather than getting to the root cause of the problem. There are certain supplements, however, that trigger natural enzymatic reactions in the body, helping to maintain healthier functions and stronger natural defenses from the inside out. In this class you will be presented with holistic supplements that can vastly improve the health of your pet.
