About The Treat Boutique
WHO WE ARE
A store dedicated to the dog lover in us all! Here at the Treat Boutique, we wanted to not only focus on the goodness of the dog, we wanted to focus on the owner's of those dogs, as well! We feel as if there are some of the most incredible small businesses around the United States selling the highest quality goods for our dogs and us, but there aren't many small businesses that you can find a combination of all those places into one. We wanted to be a one stop shop of shopping for your dog and you, and that is what made The Treat Boutique come alive! We are committed to your dog but also to the dog lover in yourself. What we always say is, "treat your dog, then treat yourself!"
At The Treat Boutique, you will find an array of supplies for your dog that we have hand selected ourselves from only the best small businesses all throughout the United States, and even beyond to Europe! We want to focus on improving your pet's life in all senses, from their mental, emotional, and physical being. The Treat Boutique sells products that can heal your dog's body from within, stimulate their minds mentally and their bodies physically, and have them looking as stylish as can be in handcrafted apparels from collars to bandanas to coats and sweaters. When it comes to treating ourselves, we have had the most fun picking out the best sweatshirts, hats and other apparel, to the trendiest bags and pouches. The Treat Boutique has the most beautiful and meaningful home decor to make your guests know how much you love your pet's and modern decor and design. So, take a look around, and make sure you treat the one's you love, both furry and not!
