Our four-legged family members make life better, and there are two days worth marking on the calendar for the animal lovers among us: National Dog Day on August 26 and National Cat Day on October 29. Here in East Tosa, we love our pets as much as anyone, so consider this your invitation to celebrate the good dogs, the great cats, and the local businesses that help keep them happy.

Pampering for your pup at Fancy Pants Pet Salon

When your dog needs a little grooming glow-up, Fancy Pants Pet Salon at 6421 W North Ave is the neighborhood’s go-to. From a fresh bath and trim to a full spa-day treatment, they help your best friend look and feel their absolute best. It is the perfect way to celebrate National Dog Day, because who does not love a freshly groomed, extra-fluffy pup?

Make a day of it in the neighborhood

East Tosa is a wonderful place to take a stroll with your dog on a sunny afternoon. Wander the shops along North Avenue, people-watch (and dog-watch) from a patio, and soak up the friendly, walkable charm that makes our neighborhood feel like home. Many local spots love to see a wagging tail come by, so leash up and explore.

Show us your East Tosa animals

Whether you are team dog or team cat, we want to meet your furry family. Tag us in a photo of your pet enjoying the neighborhood, share your best good-boy or good-girl story, and help us celebrate the pets who make East Tosa a little brighter. Happy National Dog Day and National Cat Day from all of us on North Avenue.
