Tails In The City

I do not like shopping for myself but I do like shopping for my dog, Junebug, and for my friends who have dogs. And my favorite place to shop is Tails in the City in Chicago. They have a classy-camp-kitsch-cool name and it’s owned by two of the most wonderful gentlemen I know: Phillip and Bruce. Both owners are delightful & dandy dog lovers who devote thier business to dogs and thier loving owners by offering the best in fashionable dog clothes, designer pet carriers and more.

Philip and Bruce’s store is located in the center of the Gold Coast at 1 E. Delaware Place and, for 5 years, I lived a block away with my dog, Daughter. Daughter was one of the best dressed in the dog parks and she even won an award one year at thier annual Halloween Parade. I’ve been to many events sponsored by Tails in the City and all thier proceeds go to great pet charities such as the no-kill shelter, PAWS in Chicago, and The Anti-Cruelty Society which helps over 50,000 pets and people every year.

Shop in-person with your dog at 1 East Delaware Place or online at www.TailsintheCity.com. Go to Tails in the City for fashionable dog clothes, designer pet carriers, collars, harnesses & leashes, unique dog toys, treats, cozy pet beds, dog bowls, dog jewelry and spa supplies.

This is the perfect place for gifts and gift certificates for dog loves and check out my fun video of the store.

Don’t forget to attend the 8th Annual Halloween Party & Parade, Sunday, October 30th, 11am to 1pm. It’s also a costume contest: prizes are for the scariest, most glamorous, best overall and best duo (pet & owner).
