After years of being in corporate sales, Pam Alerine loves nothing more than interacting with her pet-loving customers and helping them pick the best holistic foods, supplements, toys, treats and services for their furry, four-legged friends at her popular dog boutique and daycare. “I love when somebody walks in and says, ‘I’ve got a problem. What’s your recommendation?’” says Alerine, who founded her business 18 years ago, and now runs it with her partner, Michael Shaw. “Unlike in the corporate world, here you’re impacting the life of an animal and their human because you hopefully solved the potential problem for them and that their life is better as a result of it.”
Here are three ways you can pamper your pet:
Socialize: It’s like spending the day with grandma and grandpa! After a successful tryout visit, doggies can get spoiled, eat treats, play outside and hang with a carefully curated pack of furry buddies from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Spoil: Find an incredible array of treats, toys, healthy fresh and frozen foods, supplements and grooming supplies at the Style Mutt Store. One of the most popular items is a frozen Pup Cup in either bacon or peanut butter flavor.
Style: With a staff of experienced and dog-loving groomers, spa days are one of the best ways to care for Fido. Style Mutt offers everything from basic baths to de-shedding to full trims on a Doodle, or splurge for the works, which includes a head-to-toe transformation.
