Happy April everyone! As we get into the warmer months, we understand that everyone wants to get their furry friend cleaned up. If you call the shop, please be patient as we do not have anyone working reception and can only answer phones when we have a free moment to do so. Leave us a voicemail and we promise to get back to you as soon as we can, which is often the same evening. Also, April is just about booked up and May is filling up fast! If you’d like to get your pet in with us, please reach out sooner rather than later. Thank you!

Hey all! Jess here. I’ve been waiting to address the canine illness until more information comes out, but vet experts are still struggling to find answers. They are trying very hard, though!

As of now, we are still using our COVID protocols (we never stopped - they’re good practice!). We’ve also removed the communal water bowl and are not allowing playtime between dogs that are not from the same family. Because of the way we operate as a cage-free facility, dogs may come into contact with one another but it’s just in passing. We are requiring any dog with a dry cough to stay home and we will reschedule them.

We understand if you are not comfortable bringing your pet in until more information becomes available but I can assure you that we are doing everything we can to mitigate any chance of spreading illness.

Thank you!
- Jess and the Bow Wow Meow crew

Can you believe we are coming up on our 5 year anniversary the 18th of October? As I reflect about all the changes and growth over the past 5 years, I am filled with intense gratitude for all our wonderful customers that continue to support us to this day. Our exceptional staff has grown, and our business model has changed to focus on grooming instead of retail, but we have continued to stick to our model of cage-free and fear-free grooming experiences for our furry clients. We will never change our focus to put quantity over quality – rest assured!
I am excited to announce that our one and only cat groomer, Jessicah, along with her mom and stepdad – Robin and Dennis, will be taking over Bow Wow Meow Boutique as of October 1st. I am confident everyone will remain in great hands and there will be even better things to come with them in charge. I would like to urge all our wonderful patrons to continue to show them the love and support you have shown me these past 5 years.
Wishing you all the best! Gretchen

Hey pet parents, check out this AMAZING opportunity with THE AMAZING Ellie Sophia Pet Photography LLC

I am so excited to finally share my super huge colossal news!

The amazing company SmugMug has been around for over two decades supporting photographers, in fact my website elliesophia.com has used them since I started my business in 2016. A few years back they created an award winning short film series focusing on photographers and their passion, and they have chosen me and my pet photography to focus on for their next documentary. Can you believe it, I am so excited!

A film crew will be flying in from California to Indianapolis on September 17th to film me working with a few pets. The best part is, I wouldn’t have this opportunity if it weren’t for my furry friends, so I am going to pick one of you to be part of the film! That’s right, one lucky dog (sorry the director is allergic to cats) will be chosen to join me and be part of the film.

This is what you need to do to enter:

1. Follow me on Facebook and/or Instagram
2. Share this post with all your friends and family and tag Ellie Sophia Pet Photography LLC
3. Message me a picture of your pup, your grand pup, or any pup you’d like to nominate

You also need to:

1. Make sure you are available on September 17th for filming
2. Be responsible for your own transportation to Indianapolis
3. You must sign a release to be part of the film
4. Your dog must be well socialized and comfortable around lots of people and other dogs
5. Your dog must have a good sit and stay command
6. Being part of filming does not guarantee inclusion in film

I will announce the winner of who will be joining me for filming on September 3rd, so get your nominations in!

These two strays ended up at the same vet office and became comfort buddies. Who says dogs and cats can't get along?

They're helping each other heal.
