If you’ve been by the store this past while, you may have noticed a certain handsome face missing. A year ago, Zuko was diagnosed with Ehrlichia and Anaplasma, which are tick-borne diseases from his time in Texas before I adopted him. 1/7 🐾 🧶🇨🇦

I really hate to have to do this, but like most Canadian small businesses, I need to pause shipments to the United States. While everything we sell comes from Canadian dyers and businesses, the countries of origin are from all over the world. 1/3
