     I thought it was important to give a [so not needed for business] shout out to the best dog store, in Ottawa, there is.  Often I find that people stereotype these types of stores as 1. expensive and 2. for frou frou dogs and dog owners.  This is SO not the case at masters n' DOGS. 
     I've decided to list all the reasons I love them so if you have any specific questions or want to know more about anything related to the store let me know and I'll do a more in depth blog post.

• Their staff is kind, caring and compassionate.  This transcends and applies to so much more than just knowledge of products within the store.  Not only do they remember your dog and love your dog they remember you both by name!  It feels so nice to go into a store where you're not just a number on the receipt.  Shoutout to Jasmine, their assistant manager, for being so awesome and friendly.  She also has the biggest heart and fosters pups waiting for a good home. 
• The variety of products offered is crazy!  Small dogs, HUGE dogs - they cover all their bases.  I know that if I need something for Olive they will have it.  They carry everything from dog food, collars,harnesses and leashes, protective clothing (think boots and coats), treats, hygiene products and toys.  They really know how to make use of the small space in there. 
• Speaking of food?  I can trust that anything I buy there is of the highest quality.  My dog deserves nothing but then best, as bratty as that sounds.  I'd rather pay for good nutrition now than expensive vet bills later. They carry fantastic brands like: Nature's Variety, Orijen, Acana, Go/Now and From.  They also have a great variety of chews - a great selection of canadian bullysticks. 
• Cost of products; as much as people would like to think the store is expensive, it's not for what you get.  Not only are prices reasonable, you will often find a promotion or special on certain products.  This changes constantly.  Not to mention their food reward program - purchase 10 bags of food and receive one free. 
• Another great part?  They carry sample bags of food that they give you to try out before buying to make sure your pup will love it.  They've also been great about giving me a sample bag for when we travel with Olive to make sure there are no problems at the border since the products are still sealed. 
• The best groomer; you would think Olive would run any time we get close to the store but instead she pulls towards it.  She loves her groomer, Darby, and you can tell Darby loves her.  She is so gentle and listens!  Olive has never had a bad cut and always has the best puppy cut.  Plus?  The grooming is actually cheaper than at PetsMart

 Ok, I think I have rambled on enough for now.  Let me know if you'd like any more specific info or reviews by leaving a comment or emailing me.  

That's it for now,
