Charles St., well-known for its upscale shopping and services, is home to this posh boutique for four-legged friends. Catering to cats and dogs, this colorful shop features its own signature brand of locally-made collars and leashes, available to be custom embroidered with your pet's name. Also available, are a wide selection of gourmet dog treats from Polka Dog Bakery, Boston Barkery, as well as packaged holistic pet foods. On most days, visitors can mingle with resident pooch, Romeo, a three-year-old French bulldog, who can often be seen lounging in the window front.

This store is conveniently affiliated with Dogwood Cottage, which offers daily pet pick up at 11 a.m. and drop off at 5:30 p.m., with services including boarding, day care, grooming, and more.
