Treat Suite Pet Boutique
Update: Sayville, NY
Lori Bainbridge, Co-Owner

How’s business going?

It’s all right. Well, it’s a change of season, so it’s hard to answer that. For Christmas, large, extra large dog hoodies were the best seller. We carry cloths, toys, shampoos, treats…we have a fresh doggie bakery.

Has business been affected by the holidays?

Yeah, January, February are generally a lot less than November, December.

Any trends in your business?

I would have to say, people are looking for things made in the USA or that are all-natural. All-natural treats, foods, things like that are doing well.

Anything new?

We’ve switched to New Pal, some newer toys that came out. We recently added bird toys. I have a big interest in bird toys. We only did dog and cat, and I just brought it in within the last month. I don’t have enough of a time span to tell you how well they will do, but as soon as I put them out, they started to sell.  --EM
