Right now, businesses all around the country are having a tough time. But small and independent companies have been hit particularly hard. With the exception of a few global monoliths, many pet brands are run by one or two people. They’re often family businesses that survive by selling their products at weekend markets. With most of the world in lock-down, they’ve been especially impacted.
Understanding that, we reached out to our Off the Leash community and asked them to tell us about the local businesses that they love, but maybe aren’t frequenting as regularly right now.
If you have cash to spare, and are in the market for dog products or services, we really encourage you to skip the huge pet stores and give one of these brands your business.
We’ll keep updating this list as recommendations are passed onto us, so bookmark it to come back to later.
If you want to let us know about a company you love, shoot us an email, or reach out on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.
Hang in there everyone, we’ll get through this together.
