Haven The Dog Spot – Marietta, GA
Owner Barbara McRee’s passion for pets started long ago when she founded Mutt Madd-ness Dog Rescue in April 2009. With each dog that Barbara rescued, she’d direct volunteers and adoptive parents to boarding and daycare facilities and trainers, and advise on products and services. In 2011, Barbara realized an opportunity to grow a business that would offer all of these services in one, and soon after Haven The Dog Spot was born. Eight years later and Haven The Dog Spot is consistently voted a favorite among Marietta neighbors. When asked what they love most about Haven, neighbors often say it’s the caring staff that sets the business apart. Barbara and her team are always willing to work with their clients to ensure their pets are having the best stay possible, and give each dog the understanding and compassion that they need and deserve.
Brookside Barkery & Bath – Kansas City, MO
Fifteen years ago, owners Larry and Delena Stout had a harrowing experience with their beloved St. Bernard, Aspen, who had hip dysplasia and other health problems. After taking Aspen to the vet, Larry and Delena learned that many of Aspen’s health problems could be avoided with a change in her nutrition and overall care. Eager to do what was best for Aspen, Delena dedicated years to researching alternative nutrition and care for pets. Then, in 2001, when passing an open storefront in Brookside, Delena had an idea. Why not help educate other pet owners about how to best care for their pets, and provide them the products to do so? Larry was in support of the idea, and two years later they opened Brookside Barkery & Bath. Now, the store that offers the most up-to-date holistic health information and all-natural pet food and bathing products is a favorite among Kansas City neighbors. So much so that it was voted a Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite in 32 neighborhoods!
Struttin Pup – Lafayette, CO
Opening its doors over 17 years ago, Struttin Pup is founded on a love of pets and a passion for long lasting health.

Through free individualized nutritional consultations, the staff at Struttin Pup help ensure that the fur babies who visit their store are eating the best food for them.
