We know your pets aren’t the ONLY ones on your holiday list this year 😻

We also know that downtown Burlington has gotten a bad rap lately 😢 — despite the fact that it’s still safe and it’s still fun. We need your help to keep it that way!

🛍️ Shop local 🛍️ this holiday season!

Here are a few of our favorite spots for non-pet holiday gifts and outfits and spirits and decor and more:



Add YOUR favorites in the comments — I’m sure I’ve forgotten quite a few. (Also, tbh, I don’t get out much!)

Linking my Facebook and Instagram accounts has been really low on my priority list… even though I’m sure it only takes like a minute and a half 🤔to do.

So basically, I can’t show you the full reel from Athena‘s private appointment. But this is going to be her first Vermont winter and her family wanted to make sure she was properly outfitted 💗 So they scheduled a time online to met at the shop before we officially opened.

If your dog is shy or reactive – or are you just not really sure how they’re going to react to being downtown – contact us 📲 for your own private appointment! It’s easy to do right from our website. Or you can message us or email us or call us.

Thanksgiving is ONE WEEK AWAY!

We’ve still got a few bow ties and bandanas so your furry family can sport a festive look 🦃 And some plush and enrichment toys to keep them busy while you enjoy your meal.

We’re open today (and most days) 11-5 🐾🐾

YES! We offer private appointments! Schedule a time “off hours” to shop with your pet without the usual hustle, bustle, and unpredictability!

🤩 Private appointments are perfect if your dog is shy or reactive, but need stuff that fits. Or likes to pick out their own treats and toys.

🤩 Private appointments are also perfect if you just want your pet to feel like a superstar 💗 “Look how special you are! They opened up JUST FOR YOU!”

🤩 Private appointments are easy to schedule from our website. Which brings us to…

‼️ When you schedule your private appointment, you need to “checkout.” ‼️ It seems silly, I know, as there is no charge to book a private appointment. But if you don’t complete the transaction, the appointment doesn’t actually get booked. If you do not receive a confirmation email, you did not complete the booking process.

No appointments today as apparently I am taking two dogs to two different vets 😱 But never you fear, we will still be open 11 to 5 🐾🐾

We’ve got FluentPet buttons in stock 🐾🐾

MASSIVE thank you to Gone to the Dogs Photography and everyone who came by yesterday — many of you were there for a Mini Session, many of you were wondering “what the heck is going on?!”

Regardless, it was a very chaotic super fun day. Today should be a “regular level” chaotic super fun day 🐾🐾

We’re open 11-5!

Birthday Celebration Part 1:

📸 Gone to the Dogs Photography is here today for Mini Sessions (sign up required), so please excuse our more-than-usual chaos. It’s gonna be SO FUN though 🤩

🧁 Superb Cupcakes are here, too! While supplies last 😉 as they’re pretty darn delicious and I didn’t order a “never-ending carton!”

News for Birthday Celebration Part 2 (aka Black Friday/ Small Business Saturday) coming soon 💗

11/15/2024

We heard a rumor that SANTA PAWS is coming to Houndstooth on Sunday, December 8 🎅🏼💗

As soon as we get more info, we’ll share!

11/13/2024

We’re HUGE fans of Rufflect bandanas 🤩

I tend to over pack when taking the dogs for a little outing (I know I’m not alone here). But because these are super cute on one side and totally practical on the other, I can leave a few lights and reflective gear at home, and not worry if it starts getting dark. I’ll share a video of just HOW reflective “side B” is in the comments. Gimme a sec.

In addition to holiday prints, we’ve got some cute plaids in stock, a safety orange, and pirate 🏴‍☠️

Lost doggo 😢

❤️ 11/14 Cocobean found her way home. My husband, myself and the dogs all went deep in the woods this morning. Cocobean came walking out of the woods from the north with no collar. Squealing with joy to be home. I can’t express how grateful I am to everyone who provided advice and offers of help. The relief is unbelievable. ❤️

11/11/24 MISSING DOG: Cocobean in Essex
Westford and Essex friends ! PLEASE be on the look out for Cocobean. She pulled free and went into our back woods and didn’t return. She is dragging her leash behind so very concerned she may have become tangled. We have scoured the woods in every direction and found no sign or sound. She is 19lbs and is chipped and tagged. She is usually friendly but may be scared and cold. Last sight was her heading north east after a bird she had flushed out of the tall grass. She is not a fan of cars or rides in them so don’t believe anyone would have been able to pick her up. She is fairly new to the area so check barns and other shelters she may have found. The town clerk is aware and neighbors are on alert. She is small so keep your eye peeled so we can bring her home safe and sound
