Thundershirts are Now Available!











The thundershirt will help with the following:

Fear of Thunder/Fireworks
Separation Anxiety
Travel Anxiety
Crate Training
Problem Barking
Hyper Activity
Leash Pulling and more...............



How It Works

With its patent-pending design, Thundershirt’s gentle, constant pressure has a dramatic calming effect for most dogs if they are anxious, fearful or over-excited. Based on surveys completed by over two thousand customers, over 80% of dogs show significant improvement in symptoms when using Thundershirt.Thundershirt is already helping tens of thousands of dogs around the world, and is recommended by thousands of veterinarians and dog trainers.

As for WHY Thundershirt’s gentle pressure works to calm a dog, experts such as Dr. Temple Grandin believe that pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system. Using pressure to relieve anxiety has been a common practice for years. For example:

  • TTouch dog trainers use pressure to address a wide variety of anxieties.
  • Veterinarians use pressure to relax cattle when they are administering vaccinations.
  • People with autism use pressure to relieve their persistent anxiety.
  • Children with certain behavioral problems use pressure shirts and weighted vests to relax and focus.
  • Parents use swaddling to calm an inconsolable newborn infant.

Until now, there just hasn’t been a well-designed, inexpensive pressure wrap commonly used for dog anxiety. Thundershirt is changing that! Thousands of veterinarians and dog trainers now recommend Thundershirts for their anxiety cases.

Help us find a new home for Dalco!!


Please help us find a new home for Dalco.

He is very easy going, as long as he gets a walk he’s the happiest camper ever, as he just lounges around for the rest of the day.

He’s great with small children, and great with other dogs. I’ve never had issues, and I spent the time training him to so he’s good on recall, and all basic commands.

He’ll be turning 7 on September 23 and has no health issues, so is a very healthy dog.

I have all of his blankets, food bowls, toys, food etc. and I will purchase the first bag of food for the new owner of my beloved Dalco.

I just want him to go to a good home with caring people who love animals and have the time to exercise him.

One Happy Customer


I was very sad to come home one day when I had sent Daisy to the previous groomer and they shaved her all over. Daisy seemed to notice it too and was a sad puppy. Luckily a lady at a park noticed that too and told me about Bark, Bath & Beyond. Once Daisy's hair had grown, my husband took Daisy in to Bark, Bath & Beyond and when they arrive at the store it seemed like everyone knew her already, she was happyly welcomed by the whole family. When I returned home from work to find Daisy smelling so good, looking great and happy I knew we had found the place to take her to be pampered from that day on. We are not looking back. Thank you everyone at Bark, Bath & Beyond.

Torque Needs a New Home

We are pleased to report that Torque has found a great new home!




My name is Torque, I'm a 5-year-old French bulldog, and I am looking for a
new mommy or daddy. I have had all my shots and have seen a vet on a
regular basis. My little nose makes lots of noise when I run around but I
am in great shape and super healthy.

My parents are having a new little baby and unfortunately I don't like kids
or big hairy dogs for that matter, they make me scared so I can get
defensive. That means that I am at my best when I'm on my leash when I'm out
for walks. I do have a little sister who is a Pug and a big sister who is a
cat and really love both of them. I have been to school but I should
probably go back to help me get over my fear of other dogs and kids.

I am a great little guy; my favorite spot is usually curled up in dads lap
or hanging out in front of the fire on my big bed. I know all about going
out to "do my business", I have never chewed furniture or stolen shoes, and
all I really-really want is for you to throw my ball in the yard for me.

My new home should understand that I will need ongoing training and my
teacher says that overtime I can learn to calm down when another dog comes
by.

I love to snuggle and play and make a really good little buddy, my parents
are only letting me go cause they can't take the chance with a little baby
and haven’t been able to spend the time I need to train me to relax and not
be scared.

If you know anyone that could make a good parent for me, or you would make a
good parent, please let my dad know.

Thank you,

Torque.

Life Jackets Now In Stock

Provide safety for your water-loving canine companion, and peace of mind for you in and around the water. Great for water activities, or for dogs who are less buoyant and/or new to the water. One of the biggest advantages of a Ruff Wear Float Coat is the strategically placed PVC-free buoyancy cells that support dogs in a natural horizontal swimming position, allowing them to go further, longer, with less fatigue.
