Chestnut Hill is the one of the most popular spots for dog lovers and it’s easy to see why. This village could be nicknamed an outdoor dogtopia, home to Philadelphia’s best trails and parks including the Wissahickon Trail, Forbidden Drive and the beautiful Pastorius Park. Dog owners want to go exploring the outdoors with their best friend and they also want to spoil them. So you may be asking what about a store for pet lovers? Well, we have that too!
