Bark Social – Washington Region’s First “Dog Bar” – Coming to North Bethesda’s Pike & Rose October 2020 | PETSPLUSMAG.COM

DOGS. BEER. COFFEE. That is the tagline for a fun new membership dog park opening up over in Bethesda. Indoor/Outdoor dog park.
Coffee bar. Beer garden. They will be showing sports and reality TV shows, hosting singles mingles and lots of other fun activities for people like us #iconfessiamdogobsessed . Sounds worth the drive to us when they open in October!! It's a short drive over and maybe if enough of us Loudouners go enough this group will look at opening one closer to home.

It will come with a 25,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor craft beer, wine and coffee bar, and a professionally monitored off-leash dog park.

Have you added a new furry family member to the family over the last several months? If you are starting to think about “When I go back to work & the kiddos go back to school, where will our new puppy be hanging out all day?” then you are ahead of the game (great job doggie mom & dad). Your pup’s kennel can be a beautiful piece of functional furniture, not just the metal box shoved in the corner. Check out the beautiful work of a Loudoun County Woman Owned Small Business Ginny Bins for custom kennel options. She is also the creator of our famous biscuit bar at our salon 😉

This Duo-Lux GinnyBin is ready for it’s forever home. Complete with divider because sometimes your kids need their own rooms. 🤷🏼‍♀️. This crate also features durable pet resistant flooring, a shiplap back, black matte steel bars and a hardwood top (these features always come standard when you purchase a GinnyBin). Do your fur babies still have a wire crate? It’s time for an upgrade 🙌🏻 #womanbuilt #handmade #customfurniture #petfurniture #carpenter #dogsofinstagram #dogs #crate #kennel #functional #supportsmallbusiness #buylocal @ Loudoun County, Virginia

You haven’t seen me post in a hot minute because we have been super busy with all of the new puppies the past few weeks. We take our time helping these babies feel confident, safe & comfortable when they come in to learn about being groomed. And yes, there is extra snuggle time built in to their appointments 🐶😍🐾

06/17/2020

Do you know a Loudoun County Dog Mom that would absolutely LOVE this and would have to have one of each? Tag her in a comment below. We were busy when we were closed for a couple of weeks working on some new merchandise to bring to you and here is a sneak peak of the first item we have coming out soon.

Grady Finnegan

Our sweet little client, Grady, is in a calendar contest to help raise awareness for Megaesophagus. Grady was born with this condition and it prevents him from being able to swallow food and water like most other dogs. If you have a minute to jump over to give him a vote we would appreciate it. Good Luck Sweet Grady!!

10/14/18 (Birthday) 12/27/18 (we brought Grady home into our hearts) 02/21/19 (ME diagnosis - we met the best Vet and our journey began)

Did you know that from the very beginning that Loudoun Economic Development, Loudoun Chamber of Commerce and Visit Loudoun have all been working together to unite the Loudoun Business Community and our efforts to do everything we are able to do to protect our team members, clients and community throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic while also saving our businesses from collapsing? We have made significant changes to our operating procedures at Belly Rubs as a result of the recommendations from the CDC, WHO and our Commonwealth & Loudoun County government officials. And when asked to pledge our continued support to this initiative we jumped on board immediately. Thank you to all of our clients for your patience, encouragement and continued support during this temporary shift in the way we are being of service to you.
Loudoun Is Ready Pledge: "My business pledges to follow the latest safety guidelines and best practices, as issued by the CDC and Virginia Department of Health, to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Our friends and colleagues over at Your Dog Smiles Pet Services have been hand crafting masks for some time and you can purchase straight from their online store. If you are shopping for a mask or two for yourself or a family member, consider supporting a local small business. #loudounstrong #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness
