Welcome to Hello Leo Pet Boutique, and thank you for visiting our little shop. We are located just o Welcome to Hello Leo Pet Boutique.

We are a small, woman owned business located just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We specialize in handmade items for your pets, made with love, from our own patterns. Hello Leo started as a labor of love to save our dog's life. In 2013, our beloved companion Leo developed a cancerous lump on his shoulder. Without surgery to remove it, we would lose him. I created Hello Leo Pet Boutique as a

way to pay for his surgery. Over the last ten years, we've grown into a full boutique and continue to honor his memory. Currently, we do not have a website, but you can find us at different events around the region. We do not offer wholesale pricing, nor are we able to accommodate discounted bulk orders. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

This is Burton Guster (Gus), and he wants to remind everyone that if you feel like something is wrong, get a second opinion, no matter how confident your vet is that things are fine.

Gus came from a horrific hoarding situation. We adopted him back in February. A couple of months ago he started coughing and sneezing. The vet gave him Convenia, but he still didn't get better. We were then given Azithromycin. He stopped sneezing, but was still coughing. I knew in my gut something wasn't right, but when I took him back to the vet she basically told me that I was a hypochondriac when it came to my pets, it was probably just an allergy, and sent me home.

We have always really liked this vet and she saved our kitten's life by performing emergency surgery on him, so I was surprised to hear this from her. However, I still knew something was wrong and that I needed a second opinion. The office we go to is owned by a vet who, because of medical issues, is rarely in the office, so we've been seeing the person filling in for him. I made an appointment to see him when he was in and waited.

He immediately did an x-ray on Gus and found he had a bowel blockage. He gave him a laxative, but was very clear that if the cough got worse or he got sick, to get him treatment right away. Also, he felt this would likely end in surgery, but we decided to give him 3 days.
On day 3, he was still coughing, so we made an appointment for the surgery. I got a call later in the day to bring Gus in that day. The vet was too concerned to wait. When we took another x-ray, it was clear he needed emergency surgery.

During the surgery we were devastated to find that Gus did not have a bowel blockage, but lymphoma. It was removed during surgery, but there is no cure for lymphoma. We are going to do everything we can to treat him for as long as we can, but we don't know if we have years with him or weeks. All we know is that he wouldn't have made it another week with his blockage and he showed no signs of being sick other than coughing. He wasn't even acting weird and was, up until that point, going to the bathroom.

Please, please always trust your gut. Trusting mine saved my cat's life.

Lloyd now has his own social media. You can follow him under the handle for updates on how he is doing. He thanks you all for the support and kind words!

Welcome our new friend Lloyd. He was dumped with a bunch of trash on Prospect Street in Turtle Creek, Pa. He needed emergency surgery but he is safe at home with us. If you have any idea who could have done this, please reach out. For now, Lloyd says, "hello!"

Hi everyone! My name is Burton Guster and I am Steve's new friend. All of our kitties are older than Steve and he had no one to play with, so I got adopted into the family. Steve and I get along famously. I just wanted to say hello!

A huge thanks to The Lucky Cat rescue in Turtlecreek, Pa for helping me find a new home.

Hi everyone! Sweet Steve here! Mom said some of you have been asking about me, so I wanted to pop in and say hello! I am so flattered to be asked about. I am living my best life on my heated blankets and staying warm. I hope you're all staying warm, too! Mom says I’m super photogenic and I should be a catfluencer, but I specifically like being inside and would not want to do meet and greets.

FOR SALE: $35
Hi everyone! This is not a business post. This is just me trying to sell an item. I bought this for my cat, but she unfortunately passed away before she had a chance to enjoy it. I kept it thinking my other cats would sit on it, but they're a bunch of Grinches. It's like new, never used, but I don't still have the box. Pickup in New Stanton or I can meet within reason. It's actually a kid's chair, but when you're the crazy cat lady, you improvise. So, great for cats, small dogs or children!

Happy Halloween! It's me, Luke. We kitties got a demogorgon tunnel and I’m using the attached bat to beat it up!

Happy International Cat Day! Sorry I’m late! I've been napping, as you can see. Love, Steve.

If you have room in your home for Willis, please check out PAL in New Stanton. He is currently up for adoption. He would do best in a home as an only dog, or a dog under his size of 35 lbs. He's not a fan of cats but likes kids. I was fortunate enough to get to donate his tie and I’m so in love with how adorable he is.

Our Story

Welcome to Hello Leo Pet Boutique. We are located just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and specialize in handmade items for your pet, made with love, from our own patterns. Hello Leo Pet Boutique began as a labor of love to save our dog’s life. In 2013, our beloved companion Leo developed a cancerous lump on his shoulder. Without surgery to remove it, we knew we would lose him. Hello Leo Pet Boutique was created as a way to pay for the surgery needed to save our best friend, and grew into something far more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. Though Leo has since passed, we've carried on his legacy by continuing to adopt dogs and cats in need, and finding the joy that it brings. Thanks to Leo, I found my passion. Over the years, Hello Leo Pet Boutique has grown into a shop full of pawsitively unique items for your best friend. We are growing, expanding and adding new items frequently. And we still do it for the love of a dog.
