We find and scoop up all your dogs dirty deeds and take them all away. ScooperHero is concerned with your pet's health and safety too.

The staff welcomes dogs to the outside seating area with water and a treat, which is provided by Pretentious Pooch. Our suggestions: Chicken Pesto Pasta, Turkey Burger, Turkey Avocado Wrap, and from Chai: the water is superb and the staff delightful. Please eat at City Cafe when you are in the neighborhood. www.citycafebaltimore.com

Pet Insurance		EMBRACE PET INSURANCE Chai has this brand of pet insurance. We looked into many options and finally settled on this one as the best. Why? -- Well, I think Embrace sums it up best on their site: "We looked at the pet insurance market and talked to lots of pet parents like us. We learned that pet parents weren't happy with inflexible pet insurance policies and companies that didn't give you all the facts to make an informed decision. Here at Embrace we believe that if you don't like the rules of the game then you should change them. So that's what we're doing." They even have a 30 day money back guarantee!! Go to their site www.embracepetinsurance.com and read about them and I'm sure you will come to the same conclusion we did.

Boarding / Outreach		The Pit Bull Project works hard to ensure that dogs are not damned just for being born an underdog. There are many wrong stereotypes about these dogs, fueled by the media. Visit the Pit Bull Project's website to learn more about these dogs that need your help. There are no bad dogs; just bad owners.

Doggy Daycare	GOOD DOGGIE DAYCARE	Good Doggie Daycare is the best Baltimore dog daycare we could find in the Baltimore Area. The facilities are immaculate; the care is attentive and structured by mature adults; and , they have a elaborate webcam system so you can keep an eye your dog. What impressed us more was that they took the time to understand Chai's behavior, likes, and dislikes and tailored her day and play around her personality. www.gooddoggiedaycare.com.
