Chew on this: Local holiday gift picks for pets – OnMilwaukee. com
These local ventures started their business simply because they love animals: their animals, your animals, my creatures, party animals (ope, too far).
They also have the best products and services to keep our furry friends and family members purring, howling and tail-wagging throughout the New Year.
So let’s spoil ’em this season with a lil’ something from a Milwaukee-based spot.

Three years ago, Staci adopted Drax, a pup with myriad medical conditions.
