Welcome to Cool Doggie Den 😎🐾 🐾

When your human makes sure you get nothing but the best… you show up in a tie for the venue inspection. 😎🐾

Sarge stopped by for a little retail therapy today and figured he might as well scope out the Den for his upcoming birthday party. 🎂
His human plans ahead and Sarge takes venue selection very seriously.

And if you missed today’s open shopping time, keep watching for our Pop-Up Boutique Hours! 🛍️ We’ll open the doors from time to time so you can stop in, browse and maybe do a little retail therapy of your own.

Sarge approves. 😎

Happy National Dog Day! 🐾💛

To the dogs who make us laugh, keep us moving, get us out of the house, steal our spots on the couch and somehow become such a huge part of our lives.

Around here, we think every dog deserves a chance to play, learn, explore, build confidence and just be a dog. 💛

Give yours an extra treat, belly rub or adventure today. (Like they needed another excuse. 😂)

Happy National Dog Day from the Cool Doggie Den! 🐶

Hi, it’s Jovie Lou 🐾 Cooldoggietales

My paws are trying to do a lot over here… and apparently getting humans, schedules, and technology to all do their thing at the same time takes a little extra training 😅. I think the humans need a brain break or a walk.

If you’ve called, messaged, or checked in, I see you (and so does my mom), and we appreciate your patience 💛

It’s coming… and I can’t wait to share my space with you.
