There's a new boutique in Surprise that caters to pet owners who want to help their four-legged friends go green.
Doggy Style Pet Gear. 17058 W. Bell Road. Suite 101. at the northeast corner of Cotton Lane and Bell Road, opened Jan. 2008 to give health minded pet parents a place to go to find natural holistic and organic products for dogs and cats.
Martin Narvaez and his wife, Isabella, left their careers as professional chefs to open the store because of their strong beliefs in echo-friendly products and lifestyles- and animals.
"I ride my bike to work a few times a week,with his 2 year old son Noah and Chico in the trailer." Martin said "We're tying to doing our part in going green. If we could get others to do their part, it would add up."Off setting a few times a week is not only good for the environment but a healthy choice for ones own well being!!
Narvaez has the store stocked with echo-friendly, natural, organic dog food, cat food and treats including frozen organic yogurt for dogs, natural and organic spa products, dog boots by Ruff Wear & Planet Dog Toys.
There's also pet beds made from recycled plastic bottles and toys that are environmentally friendly.
"We're conscious all the way around," Narvaez said. Doggy Style Pet Gear's store hours are 10 am - 6 pm.
Both Narvaez and his wife were professional chefs who met in Brazil when Narvaez was teaching at a culinary institute and Isabella was a student.
The couple came up with the idea for the pet boutique after experiencing a tragedy with their bull terrier last summer 2007.
