Metro Mutts Wins Two Top Honors in Washington DC City Paper’s 2013 Readers Poll

Metro Mutts was awarded high honors in two pet-enthusiast categories, according to results announced last week by Washington City Paper’s Best of DC 2013 Readers Poll.

Metro Mutts received 1st runner up honors for both Best Dog Walker and Best Pet Shop in Washington City Paper’s Best of DC 2013 Readers Poll. This popular Capitol Hill and H St NE corridor business started winning awards within months of opening in April 2010 (Best Pet Shop in DC, 2012 Readers Poll: Best Pet Store, 2012, Washington Post Express Readers Poll: and Hilly Award for Best New Business [on Capitol Hill], 2011).

Co-owners Lee and Kelly Hartshorn and Anna Lappas-Collins opened the flagship pet supplies store at 508 H Street NE. Metro Mutts’ early and fast-rising popularity led to the opening of a second store at 407 8th Street SE-Barracks Row, steps from the Eastern Market metro, in October of 2011. By the time they had begun serving both NE and SE neighbors on Capitol Hill, the rest of the Washington DC metro area had discovered them as well.

In addition to healthy pet food and safe, smart, and fun products, Metro Mutts offers high-quality Pet Services, managed by Jackie Cook and her top-notch team of dog walkers and pet sitters. “Safety, comfort, and professional care and handling are essential to our clients. When we walk your dog, we follow up with a written report to you on how it went, what we noticed, and sometimes some tips or insights about your dog’s mood and behavior when you are away....Our pet care team will even water your plants and bring in your mail” says Cook.

Committed to a “Buy Local” way of living and being part of the community, Metro Mutts, Spot On Training, and Atlas District Veterinary Hospital, winner of Best Vet, 2013--all located on H Street NE-- have recently formed the H Street Pet Cooperative. Visit www.hstpets.com to learn more.
