Pawsitively
Best Friends Winter
is here and it’s important to remember the special needs of
your pets. Many pets benefit from the extra warmth of a coat
or sweater or paw protection for those icy and salt-covered
walks. If you are not sure of your pet’s size, we are happy
to measure them if you bring them into the store. Or at home,
measure your pet from the base of the neck to the base of the
tail, and that number in inches is the approximate size
garment for your pet. We offer a large selection of in stock
winter wear for your pets in sizes XXS to XXL. We also have
booties, paw protective wax, and pet-safe ice melt. Open 7
days or shop online! See our website below.
