What Goes Into a Unique Pet Boutique?

A cat named B.J. (adopted from a shelter in Detroit) and a Jack Russell named Jonah inspired the creation of Paws pet boutique back in 1999. They made me realize how wonderful life is when you honestly share it with a dog or cat. So on that note, our Annapolis pet boutique was established to offer hand-selected goods for dogs, cats and their people. We seek out products that are both functional and fun but don't break the bank. We love to celebrate animals through the products we offer, the customer experience we share and dog-friendly events we create to support animal welfare groups. Giving back has always been a big part of why we started down this road.

Our pet boutique is know far and wide for our amazing selection of unique dog collars It's a fun and inexpensive way to add a little color to your day and your dog's! To keep things fresh, many of our customers enjoy having a special collar for each month. You'll find our collection to be almost 100% U.S. made dog collars too! So if it's pink dog collars, nautical dog collars or simply big dog collars you are seeking, you'll enjoy shopping our pet boutique's collection. We believe in sourcing our products from local artists and small businesses whenever possible.

Lately we have focused on improving our pet store online. Whether you visited our pet store in Annapolis, or have never been to Maryland, you can still feel connected through our website and Facebook page. Yes, you can shop our pet boutique online, but you can also be part of what's happening here through our events and photos we share. We love to hear from our customers too!

So it's nice to offer distinctive pet products backed by amazing customer service (our Paws Team is tremendous!), but we feel it is equally important to make a difference. This philosophy is core to our business mission, which is why we work to support so many deserving animal welfare charities. Paws pet boutique regularly donates to a variety of local charity events that improve the lives of animals. Additionally the schedule of dog-friendly events we put our hearts and souls into creating and hosting will make your dog's tail spin into a never ending wag. For the past 6 years our big fundraiser for the year has supported Animal Legal Defense Fund, which is a non-profit that protects the lives and advances the interests of animals through the legal system. One thing is for sure, the clients they represent are always innocent! If we can help improve how society as a whole treats and perceives animals, the world will be a better place. We adopted our dog Ben after ALDF freed him and 325 other dog's from a hoarder/puppy mill. So each year we make this important animal welfare group a big part of our give-back events. Our pet boutique's events are always fun, always dog-friendly and always memorable! From dog cruises to parade marches to yappy hours, we've done it all!

So celebrate a good life with dogs, cats and Paws pet boutique. Feel good knowing that you are supporting a small business that is trying to make a difference in this world for animals and the people who love them.

Thank you for your support!
