As the saying goes, 'what you don't know won't hurt you'... well not totally so when it comes to choices in pet food. Do you really know what goes into pet food and how it's actually made? You might be shocked to learn the truth.

We believe feeding your pets is feeding your family. As pet caregivers, we have to choose wisely for those we love because our domesticated friends don't have that choice. What they intake has a direct effect on their behavior, coat, energy level and much more. So, if you think feeding your pets should be as easy as scooping dry kibble from a bag and pouring it into a bowl, you may want to think again—and, think outside the bag.

At Pussy & Pooch, we are passionate about healthy pet nutrition year-round,…

What a thrill! We are delighted to be nominated in TWO categories for the Los Angeles Downtown News’ annual Best of Downtown 2013 Readers Choice for Best Pet Grooming AND Best Pet Supplies/Boutique.

Have you heard that GREEN is the new BLACK? Indeed, our fav colors no doubt, but more importantly, the messaging that ‘going green’ is really about our daily lifestyle choices to lessen our carbon imprint on the earth, our city, our beach, our neighborhood…the very space we occupy with our pets. Earth Day may be celebrated on April 22, but we like to celebrate earthiness all-month long! Not only do we dig out our favorite ‘Go Green’ recycled store display each spring to inspire our neighborhood’s consciousness toward reducing carbon paw prints, but we value featuring solid pet brands with a commitment toward good.

It has never been easier to choose wisely and to respect the environment with the myriad of eco-friendly, sustainable, or organic options now available in pet products.…

Minxx is one of the original P&P feline Mascots, just shy of her 17th birthday. She is in excellent health for a cat her age with exception to a recent diagnosis of Feline Hyperthyroidism. Fortunately we caught the disease in its very early stages due to her preventive wellness exams, and it's a treatable/manageable condition. We felt it was important to share her story to emphasize the importance of routine wellness exams for your pets, especially for animals aged 7yrs or older.  Minxx's lab work was normal in April 2012, and abnormal in November 2012-- within just six months, we were faced with the need to treat her for a primary diagnosis of Hyperthyroidism with underlying Hypertension, Heart Murmur, possible Kidney…
