Saffron, Hot Dog on the beat.

Meet Saffron. She's a 9 year old, 8 pound Miniature Dachshund who's full of moxie and has a bigger heart than a dog 10 times her size! Not much is known about the first 8 years of her life since we found her in rush hour traffic on High St.. It's pretty obvious that someone loved her at some point, but for whatever reason, they were unable to care for her. When we found her a year ago, she was covered with fleas, not spayed, had no colar or I.D. and had teeth literally rotting out of her head. She's had to have 19 teeth removed which is why it looks like she has no lower jaw but we think that gives her character.

Saffie loves getting dressed up and going out on the town. So look for this hot dog out and about at various events and locations around Columbus. Here she is at the new Dog Park at Spring and Fourth downtown. Occasionally she can be found at Lots to Wag About testing toys and chasing Sparkles, our foster cat, who is up for adoption. We'll talk more about Sparkles later...

food. toys. treats. fun.

The title of this post pretty much sums it up, but we wanted to take a minute to tell you a bit about us. Lots to Wag About opened in July of 2008 and we take great pride in finding unique and quality items that we believe in, to you and your pets. We, as pet parents, know that when our dogs and cats are happy, we're happy. So we want to help you keep your pets feeling good and looking good too.

We carry a number of all-natural and organic foods including Merrick, Canidae/Felidae, Natural Balance, Innova, Blue Buffalo, Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul, Premium Edge, Wellness and Solid Gold. We try to stock samples of most of our foods so you can try them first as well.

You want treats? We got 'em! We have biscuit treats in a variety of flavors including ones for dogs with food sensitivities, Mini Naurals (perfect for training), liver biscotti, lamb and turkey jerky, sausages, sweet potato treats from Sam's Yam's, dental treats and a number of longer-lasting treats--that's just for the dogs! Cats have Natural Purz, chicken and lamb jerky and Kitty Kaviar to name a few.

As you can see, we love treats. But, we're also very passionate about toys--not just to entertain, but to stimulate our pets mentally and physically, and to keep them busy. We love helping you find the right toy for your pet and we are always trying to bring new toys into the store that are fun, durable and meet a variety of needs. Our faves right now are Premier's line of interactive toys and West Paw's zogoflex toys--they're made in the USA from recycled materials and thy're guaranteed! It doesn't get much better than that.

OK, so our pets don't care as much about their collars and apparel as we do, but we can guarantee that you'll find accessories at Lots to Wag About that you won't find in any other store! We have American Apparel t-shirts that were screen-printed right here in Columbus and hand-made collars.

So now that we've introduced ourselves, we can get on with the blog. Our goal is to pass on important info to our friends and fellow pet lovers about products and events. We love feedback and suggestions for the store too!
