High Maintenance Bitch It's Not about being a Dog It's about being a Bitch!

Sister and brother Lori Pacchiano and Ryan Pacchiano founded High Maintenance Bitch®, a manufacturer of sophisticated dog apparel and accessories, in 2002. With humble beginnings in their grandmothers garage, today they are considered leaders in pet fashion; their products have been available in hundreds of stores worldwide and theirs was the first pet company to be invited to be included in the O

fficial gift baskets for the Golden Globes. With a large fan-base that includes countless celebrities, it is little wonder they have been featured in a plethora of magazines and newspapers, radio talk shows, and have been guests on such TV shows as The View and Tyra. They have hosted Access Hollywood and their products have been featured on Dateline NBC, The Today Show, The Simple Life, and The Osbournes. TV fans will also recognize Ryan and his dog Liberace as they were the stars of the Bravo Network's hit series Showdog Moms and Dads (which aired in 72 different countries and now airs on Animal Planet in syndication. The series was produced by LA-based production company 'World of Wonder' which is known for creating other such shows as Tori and Dean; Ru Paul's Drag Race; Flipping Out; and The Fabulous Beekman Boys). Entertainment Weekly rated HMBs feather boas as one of the Hot 100 products of 2002, and High Maintenance Bitch was nominated for the Seattle Mayor's Business Award in 2003. During 2004 HMB began opening the first chain of high end brand stores in the pet industry, and in 2005, Seattle Magazine named them two of the thirteen most Up and Coming influential people in Seattle as well as Seattles Best New Pet Boutique. In 2006, HMB celebrated the worldwide release of its new book The High Maintenance Bitch (owners manual), and calendar. In 2012 the siblings partnered with private investors to expand the company's manufacturing and distribution channels. In 2014 they launched their two newest products, "Squeaky Clean" Simply Good Dog Wash and DogBeautyTreats.com

Lori and Ryan are represented by New York's prestigious N.S. Bienstock talent group which is consistently rated among the "Top 10 of TV’s Most Powerful" and represents other such clients as Dan Rather, Anderson Cooper, and many more.

Thank you to everyone that came out to Fancy Dog put on by Seattle Art Museum and The Seattle Humane Society at the Olympic Sculpture Park. We were excited to see our patented Pet Feathers (feather boa collars) on about 100 dogs. The event was to support the Humane Society's "Pet Project", a special program designed to support patients battling HIV & Cancer who cannot sustain costs of food & veterinary care for their pets & who rely on their best friends for more than just companionship. Thank you to everyone who came out and showed their support!

We are excited to be participating in Save A Pet's annual event "Tuxedos For Tails" in Illinois. They do great work there! http://www.saveapetil.org/
Save-A-Pet is one of the largest no-kill cat and dog rescues in Lake County that operates a full-time adoption center. They provide a safe haven for abused, neglected, injured, lost, or animals that have escaped euthanasia. They never put a limit on the amount of care they will provide for an animal and they never give up on them. Thus, Save-A-Pet offers rescued dogs and cats the greatest opportunity for a second chance. They take great pride in practicing their no-kill mission and in stewarding donors’ contributions; both of which have led to the successful adoption of over 40,000 dogs and cats.

Our Simply Good Dog Wash is now available at Helping Hands Veterinary Clinic. A Huge Thank You! to them for carrying our line. We are so excited to be available to their clients.
Dr. Cherie Guidry is amazing.

More info about Dr Guidry:
What makes me a great veterinarian? I am not really sure its just one thing alone. I can tell you that I love what I do. After 10 years of practicing veterinary medicine, I still would not change a thing. Many of my vet friends are burnt out at this point, but I can honestly say that I am not. I really care about my clients as well as their pets. That means something. I listen to my clients and work with them to care for their pets. I am a “people” person as well as a pet lover.

Who am I? No one title defines me. I am not only a veterinarian, but I am also a mother as well as a military wife. I have 3 full time jobs and again I wouldn’t change a thing.

A little bit about me. I am originally from a small town called Cottonport located in Louisiana. I was raised as a true Cajun. I attended college at Louisiana State University and graduated with my DVM in 2002. Geaux Tigers!! I have been a military wife for 12 years and I am a mother to a very active 8 year old. Life keeps me pretty busy but I love every minute of it.

Recently, I was featured in Fido Friendly magazine. (May-June 2010 issue “Alternative Healing”). I have also been editing a book on dog diseases. On some Saturdays, you can find me at local pet stores educating pet owners in what we like to call “Ask the Vet Seminars”. This year, I was also interviewed for a segment on King 5 News.

Starting next week our Squeaky Clean Dog Wash will be available at the 'Very Pet Friendly' Edgewater Hotel. The Edgewater rests atop Pier 67 on Elliot Bay and is Seattle's original (and still remains as Seattle's ONLY) waterfront hotel. In 1964, during their first world tour, The Beatles stayed at the Edgewater hotel, newly completed for the World’s Fair. At the time, no other hotel in the city would accept The Beatles as guests; however The Edgewater happily welcomed them.
(pictured: The Beatles fishing out of their Edgewater Hotel room).
Since opening in 1962, The Edgewater Hotel has hosted some of the most famous names in music, including: The Beatles, Pearl Jam, The Village People, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Ozzy Osbourne, KISS, Wings, Neil Young, Frank Zappa, Blondie, Jewel, David Bowie, Emmy Lou Harris, Iggy Pop, Jessica Simpson, Mel Tormé, REM, Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson, and more.
THANK YOU SO MUCH to the Edgewater for carrying our products!
