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.

As we continue to cheer our FIVE Year Anniversary, it's fun to take a look back to see how the party first got started. It's been said by some that Pussy & Pooch has more parties than some nightclubs. Looking back into the P&P time capsule for December 2007, it's easy to see how we earned that reputation. Wow, did we ever start off with a bang! Launching right into our very first Downtown Artwalk on Dec 13, 2007 with an curated collection of…

Booooooooooo! Scared ya?

Well, we’re pretty sure we didn’t scare you. But, when the air is turning crisp, the leaves are starting to fall, and you can hear a light howl when the wind blows – ooooooooooooook, that’s scary! And, you know what that means… it’s almost time for Halloween!!!…

What is a fun way to celebrate the arrival of Fall with your pooch?

Journeying on long dog walk with fresh autumn air sounds like the perfect activity to us... so much so that we sponsored a free, fun pet activity last weekend in Downtown Los Angeles at the Autumn Lights LA multimedia art extravaganza.
