What a wonderful day we had today at 3 Dogs & a Chick! It was beautiful weather to host our annual Howliday Party, ornament station and cookie exchange. Thank you to PAWS (Panhandle Animal Welfare Society) and UnderDogs Rescue for bringing adorable adoptable dogs to our event. If you would like more information about the dogs you see here wearing orange vests, please contact the adoption groups by visiting their websites.
Thank you to all our customers who came out today to spread some holiday cheer. We wish you the happiest of holidays and hope to see you in the new year. Arrroooo from the 3 Dogs!
Mingle with other dogs and dog lovers at our Howliday Party!
We will have an ornament making station where you can personalize a gift for your furry friend. We will also have a holiday cookie showcase…for humans! Bake up your favorite holiday cookies, bring them to the party along with a copy of the recipe and taste your way through all the different cookies!
Adoptable animals from PAWS will also be in attendance. You can learn more about this wonderful local rescue group, get information about fostering and volunteering or add a faithful friend to your family just in time for the holidays!
Here at 3 Dogs and a Chick, we love the Christmas season! It’s so fun to bake holiday treats for our four-legged friends. I love all our holiday treats! They are so detailed and just adorable. I bet your little furry friend will love them even more than I do…yum! :)
This year we are also offering personalized treats….these make great gifts and perfect stocking stuffers! Come visit our shop or shop online (www.3dogsandachick.etsy.com) to get your paws on these adorable treats.
Today at 3 Dogs & a Chick, we were busy with lots of cute dogs who were in the mood to shop! Two extra special customers who came in were Chipper, who is celebrating his 2nd birthday, and Fonzi, a rescue dog who just got adopted today!
Chipping is waiting so patiently for his peanut butter birthday bone!
"Hey Mom, what do you think of my new bandana? Pretty handsome, huh?"
And then we had a fun visit with Fonzi. Two of my best friends, April & Justin (www.deadworry.com) just adopted Fonzi this afternoon from New Beginnings Animal Sanctuary in Niceville. He’s about 2 years old and probably a chihuahua/corgi mix. What a little sweetheart this guy is!
Fonzi left here with all the latest and greatest gear: a new Cozy Coat (snuggly warm fleece), Whole Earth Farms adult dog food, Gooby harness, recycled mountain climbing rope leash, bully sticks (already enjoying one in the shop, as you can tell) and lots of yummy 3 Dogs & a Chick treats. Wow, what a LUCKY dog!!! Thanks to April & Justin for saving a life by choosing to adopt!
3 Dogs & a Chick has decided to join yet another social networking site….Twitter! Follow us for all the latest and greatest doggie news :)

We just received the nicest thank you note in the mail today. What a lovely surprise! It was from Charlie, the lovable rescued Golden Retriever from up north. We’re lucky enough to call him a customer for a few months out of the year while his parents stay in warm & sunny Florida…..we wish we could keep him year round! :)
“We had such a good time at the Howl-o-Ween. Thank you so much for giving Charlie something fun to do. The prizes are amazing! Thank you all so very much. We never expected to actually win (Charlie won Best Boy in the costume contest). Charlie is especially thankful for his treats. Sincerely, Arnie, Julie & Charlie”
Thanks Charlie for your note…you made our day special!
Just in time to get cozy for winter, our new beds by Molly Mutt arrived today. These beds are awesome!!! The concept is revolutionary…a dog duvet & stuff sack that make creating & maintaining a stylish, comfortable, and clean dog bed easier – and less costly – than ever before.

The Molly Mutt dog duvet means you never have to throw away a dog bed again. Simply slip off the dirty duvet and slip on a fresh, clean one. No more scheduling “laundry day” around cleaning up after fido!
Princesses, pirates, lions and bananas oh my! Wow, what a fabulous day we had at Howl-o-Ween 2009. The weather was perfect for this fun event. First dogs went trick-or-treating for healthy snacks through the merchants at Uptown Station. Then they gathered for the grand opening of Central Park, Ft Walton Beach’s new off-leash dog park located in the new section of Uptown Station. (Good news for the local pups…the park will be getting bigger and better! )
Eglin Pet Welfare and RUFF Rescue were in attendance, with some wonderful dogs and cats. Eglin Pet Welfare had 3 adoptions (Arrroooo! Or should we say Meow?), which we are thrilled about. Jennifer Wray with All Pets Sitting Service also had a booth, along with us here at 3 Dogs & a Chick!
After all the dogs played and learned how to use the agility equipment, the costume contest began. We saw everything from turtles to bananas to lions to princesses. Everyone was so creative and the dogs really did seem to enjoy showing off their costumes (for the most part!). It was a blast!
Thank you to all our customers for joining us for a wonderful day!
