If A) you love your furry family members and B) you like to support local business then this list is for you! Here are 10 amazing locally owned pet stores in Massachusetts and the hottest selling item at each.
To all of the super friendly people who work at these pet stores (they were all really nice), thank you for not hanging up on me like a few who didn’t make the list. Lol. It’s ok – I’m sure I came off like I was trying to sell them something or steal their identity or something.

• Riverdog in Somerville

  HOTTEST ITEM: Summit Chew Dog Treats – Goat cheese treats the dogs chew on. And when they get small you pop them in the microwave and they become more smaller treats. Sounds like MAGIC!
