Situated as a neighborhood destination for the urbane pet owner, P&P is a unique retail concept that fuses traditional boutique amenities with exclusive modern luxuries like the one-of-a-kind Pawbar™, where hip pets can “walk-up” for nutritious raw-food meals and more.

Savvy pet parents know that the well-being of their four-legged friends encompasses much more than just conventional care. P&P offers a thoughtful and interactive opportunity to take advantage of distinct products and services fashioned for today’s chic pet.

The inspiration…

Cosmo, Chief Barking Officer
Cosmo (as in Kramer) can bark like a horse, but don’t tell him he’s NOT that big- he has a Napoleon complex. When this Jack Russell is not barking orders at whoever will listen, he spends his days dreaming of Scoobie snacks and of being a DJ. He is excited to fulfill his new responsibilities as the Pussy & Pooch Mascot.

Minx, Chief Scratching Officer
Minx is a regular shadow-chasing-SuperHero who never met a piece of cardboard that she didn’t like. She spends her days scratching in between napping and leaping off tall counters…

Bailey, Chief Napping Officer
Bailey thinks he’s a SuperModel, who prefers sleeping and preening to anything else that is b-or-ing. He spends his days poised into a perfect snuggle.

The founders….
