We are now located at 171 Tremont St. Melrose, MA 02176. 🐶 Our entrance is located on the side of the building, about halfway down. Look for the sign with our new name, RiverDog, and be sure to check out our fancy parking lot on your way in. 🤩

We can’t wait to welcome your dogs into their new favorite space to play. See you tomorrow! 🐾

Levi’s last day was Monday and we’ve only just stopped crying over his departure. 🥺 We want to take this moment to thank him for all that he did for us in his time here. Levi gave each and every dog so much love and care, put in 100% effort every shift, and was an untangling machine (of both dog hair and mop heads 😂). Dogwood will not be the same without his smiling face lighting up our playroom, but we wish him well in his future endeavors - we know he’s going to accomplish so much! 🙌

Thanks again, Levi! You’re an absolutely (paw)esome pal and we’ll never (fur)get you. Teehee! 💙

The only thing Gunner loves more than his water bowl is FLIPPING his water bowl! 🙈😂 As you can imagine, this behavior sometimes caused a bit of a mess - cleanup on aisle Dogwood! - so we needed to find a solution. It came in the form of a very large, non-tip dish.

As you can see here, Gunner still loves his water bowl… But he secretly yearns for the old one, the bowl that provided opportunities for mischievous deeds. 😏

Pepper is such a supportive queen! 👑 She’s never going to give you up and never gonna let you down. She will DEFINITELY run around, though, and *unwittingly* desert you. 😅 Probably best to mind your head, Gordie! Just in case Pepper catches a case of the zoomies! 🏃‍♀️
