Jack's favorite toy - The stretchy octopus

Who wouldn't love opening a box like this?

We just got a big new box of octopusses! Or is it octopi? Either way we opened a big box of happiness today at Lulu's Paw Boutique.

The Stretchy Octopus is Jack's favorite toy, and he's not alone. We just had a customer in buying replacements for her pup who loved on his first one for two years. And yes, I said replacements with an "s." She's from out of town and wanted to make sure she had a spare one, plus a couple more to give to friends.

The scoop on picking up dog poop

You have to pick up after your pup, now you can do it sustainably

Picking up dog poo is no one's favorite part of pup parenting, but it has to be done. Keeping poo from spoiling our beaches, waterways and neighborhoods is just the price of pet ownership. It's also a good way to keep track of your dogs' health.

We're proud to sell only biodegradable waste bags at Lulu's Paw Boutique, but today we added a new option from one of our favorite companies.

Rain brings mushrooms; mushrooms can bring trouble

Dogs are great at sniffing. Sometimes they're great at sniffing up trouble. We've had a ton of rain in the low country this year, and rain brings mushrooms. They are popping up all over the place, and some of them are toxic.

Please take extra care when you are walking your dog or letting her play in the yard. Dogs can get to a mushroom before you even see it and that can land them in the emergency vet's office - a place no one wants to go (sorry vets, you know it's true though).
