Where did all the puppies go?
On Feb 23rd, Illinois pet stores can no longer work with licensed and inspected professional breeders. Only 4% of dogs sold in the USA are sold through pet stores. Pet stores are the only source of puppies in IL that are licensed, regulated, & required to provide a warranty with every puppy. For this reason, we work with licensed & regulated breeders of the highest standards only.
Despite this, animal rights groups have convinced legislators that requiring pet stores to only source puppies from nonprofit rescues and shelters will close puppy mills. We contend that puppy mills exist in the unlicensed and unregulated world of dog breeders almost exclusively and do not cross paths with our pet store. Meanwhile, there are no restrictions on shelters or rescues that purchase dogs direct from breeders or from dog auctions. There are no restrictions on puppy mills, unlicensed or licensed breeders, that sell direct to the public. This misguided legislation will have no impact whatsoever on the targeted puppy mills yet will have significant impact to our valued employees.
Please reach out to your local House Representative or State Senator and tell them you support House Bill 4643 to protect pets, protect pet stores, and protect your right to choose where your next pet comes from.

What Is a Dog Harness? A dog harness is a type of equipment designed to secure and control a dog during walks or other activities. Unlike traditional collars, which put pressure on the neck, a harness distributes the force across the dog’s chest and shoulders. This design helps prevent injuries to the neck and trachea, making it a safer option for dogs with respiratory issues or those prone to pulling on leashes. Additionally, a harness provides better control over larger or stronger dogs by giving owners more leverage. With various styles available, such as step-in, overhead, or front-clip harnesses, pet …

Dogs possess an extraordinary sense of hearing, which allows them to detect and interpret sounds far beyond human capabilities. Their acute auditory system is finely tuned to perceive frequencies ranging from 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz, compared to the average human range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. This wide range enables dogs to detect high-pitched sounds imperceptible to us. Moreover, dogs excel at discerning the direction and distance of a sound source. With their independently mobile ears and highly sensitive ear muscles, they can rotate their ears in different directions, amplifying even faint noises. Additionally, dogs possess a greater …
