Any household with a pet knows that no matter how many shredded chairs, hairballs on the carpet, and late-night walks you endure, cats and dogs are members of the family who bring joy that more than makes up for all the chores. Enjoy the day-to-day moments with your pet by stocking up on goods they love and preserving memories with custom art.
Show your furbaby you appreciate their playful presence in your life with a visit to Fetch RI, celebrating 10 years in business. “For every furry friend that visits, we capture their happiness in photos and even have special frames for those celebrating birthdays and gotcha days,” says owner Johnna Devereaux. A clinical pet nutritionist, Devereaux can help patrons find the right food for their critter, and don’t leave without browsing their fun toy selection! Richmond, FetchRI.com
Dress your pup for adventure with bandanas by Wolfe & Hound Company. Made with a carefully selected range of fabrics, both new and vintage, owner Melanie Wolfe says, “Our bandanas are crafted by hand in small batches here in Rhode Island. We enjoy introducing new styles to keep current with the changing seasons and all the major holidays.” For every purchase, Wolfe & Hound donates a bandana to regional shelters.

Once you’ve found the perfect bandana or accessory, bring your furry friend to Animal Reflections Photography, an extension of Allyson Barth’s Crescent Moon Photography Studio. Inquire about options for pet portraits, whether you’re interested in having a keepsake of your dog or cat looking dapper as a keepsake for years to come, or including Fido in the family photo.

Through her business, Pet Portraits by Liz, artist Liz McGrath captures pets’ likeness through hand-drawn works of art in watercolor with colored pencil details. “Many are created as bereavement and holiday gifts,” says McGrath, who illustrates headshots, full-body poses, and animals with their owners. “Clients send favorite photos, and toys, blankets, and backgrounds can be included, too.” Facebook: Liz McGrath Illustration
