What We're All About

The focus of Pause Dog Boutique is on responsibility. 90% of the products we carefully select to sell give back in some way. Whether it's that they are made in the USA, they are eco-friendly and/or all natural, or they benefit a not-for-profit, we pride ourselves on making smart choices for the greater good.

Additionally, every product we sell is tested by a member of our staff to ensure that it stands up to the high quality our customers have come to expect from us.

 

“In the never ending search of ways to spoil my pugs, I came across Pause Dog Boutique. Laura not only has amazing products and healthy treats but she also ‘pays it forward’ in her generosity to many pet causes. When you walk in her store, you feel like you are at a friends house, always remembering you and willing to help you in any way she can. The ‘Yappy Hour’ during the summer is a great way to just hang out with your dog and meet others with that same passion about their pets. Whether it is informative classes, pet friendly events or just shopping for that special treat, you will find it at the store or Laura will find it for you. Rosie, Mikey and I highly recommend Pause Dog Boutique and hope to see you there!” – Carol C.

“I love Pause, and so do my dogs, as they are always welcome in Laura's store! It's my choice for collars, toys and beds, and they have THE best selection of healthy treats! Confident, Giving & Kind, Laura is an asset to the local community as she works to network with local businesses, holds informative and fun events for dogs and their humans, and often donates to local charities. As a fellow business owner, I have a lot of respect for Laura, as she's competent yet gracious. I highly recommend you check out the store, and meet her hostesses, Empi and Ella. Pause is really THE ONLY place to shop for your dog in Dutchess County.” – Lisa F.
