Pre Season Coat Sale
It's that time of the year kids - a slight nip in the morning air. Pups shiver during their walks. Maybe time to think about a sweater or coat for your pal.
Take advantage of our urge to organize and drop by the store for our pre-season coat sale.
We have a good, but limited selection, of some of last season's sweaters and coats. They are all first quality. We just want to make room for some new stuff.
They are all 30% off while they last.

The Pet Cabaret - a Decade Later
You know, it's been almost ten years since we first opened The Pet Cabaret. Some of you may remember the tiny store on Washington Street that we crammed full of pet food and supplies.
The first day we opened, in December of 2003, the city was experiencing a significant snowfall. People stayed home from work and toddled onto the snowy streets. Some even stumbled into our store. We maybe did $200 - $300 worth of business that first day - just enough to keep us coming back. Actually, we had to keep coming back because there were no other options for us. We had put everything on the line to open the store.
We made a promise to ourselves in those early days to only sell products that we were comfortable with and that we would use on our own dogs and cats. I am sure that Harvard Business School would not have agreed with our business model then or now.
But it seems enough people did agree. Enough people agreed so that we eventually had to move to a larger storefront "up the street" on Washington Street. We put in a self serve dog wash and some dog training too. Everyone seemed to like that. Thankfully, you kids just keep coming in.
During the years that we have been open we have tried to constantly learn about foods and remedies and to keep up to date on new products and techniques. The more we learn the more convinced we are that a careful combination of good food, good veterinary care, good training, and good ole' fashioned love are what keeps a pet healthy and a family happy.
We realize the important and special place that animals occupy in the lives of many people and we take very seriously our promise to help feed them well and keep them healthy in the gentlest way possible. We thank you for your business over the last decade, but even more importantly, we thank you for the trust you've placed in us. We feel truly honored and blessed.
