Profile
With a selection of kitschy pet accessories and outfits, this self-touted “haute boutique” for dogs and cats caters to high-profile owners like Ralph Lauren, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, and Uma Thurman. Instead of pet food, shoppers will find plaid carrying cases, bejeweled collars, and pet apparel like Italian polar fleece shells, turtleneck cashmere sweaters, and black patent leather winter coats. At the core of the business is its grooming service, which employs a team of individuals who consistently place in competitions in the states and abroad (one groomer, Jonathan David, beat out 5,000 others to appear on the Animal Planet show “Groomer Has It”). There’s also group dog training and a daycare center with hand-painted murals of canine couples picnicking in Central Park.
