EAT. SLEEP. FETCH.

My favorite place to take the boys for doggy daycare, to be groomed, or to stock up on supplies and toys is Spaw Boutique (http://spawboutique.com/). They are super friendly and very knowledgeable.  As you can see they are pretty much a one stop shop. They also carry the largest variety of local raw in the GTA. Please check them out!

Check out this awesome pet bed from PUP & KIT! (there will be more products soon!)

I am a bit bias as designed it :) Please check out my website at www.pupandkit.com

We design modern pet furniture which is not only functional, but also beautifully crafted and timeless. Our PUP & KIT product line is made-to-order by local craftspeople in Toronto, Ontario. We offer a selection of designs for you to choose from, but we also offer completely custom designs as well. Feel free to contact us for a price quote on a custom pet product.

Steven and Dougs all time favorite chew toy, hands down, are naturally shed antlers. You can find them at your local pet store. From what I have read online it seems as though there are many benefits to antler chews. They are natural, healthy for your dog, odor-free and last a long time. Tip, my boys looooove the marrow inside, so I like to find ones with a lot of the marrow exposed!

I had to share this. We got this porch potty because we live in a condo, and it has been a life saver. We use it for mornings and after work potty time, but still take our boys for walks before and after work (this just gets rid of the mad dash to take the boys out for a potty right when we wake up or get home). This was the best looking potty I found. It ships from the states and is not cheap (especially when you get dinged with duty at the border), but I have found it worth the money.

I wanted to start my blog off with a post about our dog walking service. We have been using Dog Embarks (http://www.dogembarks.com/) since June. Lisa, the owner of Dog Embarks, is such a sweet and kind person. She makes sure our boys are well taken care of. They walk Steven and Doug around lunch time every day and they leave us a doggy diary of what happened during their visit. Sounds cheesy I know, but I love it!

If you are looking to get a dog walker please do your research as there are some not so legitimate dog walking services out there. Dog Embarks is part of the Toronto Dog Walkers Association (http://torontodogwalkers.org). The Toronto Dog Walkers Association is a great place to start when looking for a reputable dog walker.

Hi, my name is Leslie and this is my pet blog!

On top of starting my blog Raising Urban @ www.raisingurban.tumblr.com, I wanted to start a blog for pet parents.

I have two French Bulldogs, which absolutely love to spoil (who can say no to these faces!). Steven is just under a year and a half and is a black masked fawn. Doug is 10 months old and he is a blonde fawn (... and yes blonde frenchies do have more fun!). Please follow them on instagram @ stevenanddoug_thefrenchies.

My blog will consist of Steven and Doug’s favorite things!
