How’s this for carving out a targeted niche: a pet store that “caters to the urban loft, condo or apartment lifestyle of indoor pet living.” Or how about a retail establishment that targets dog owners seeking “environmentally conscious products” for their pets? Both can be found in the Los Angeles area – the former at the Pussy & Pooch Pethouse and Pawbar and the latter at the Healthy Spot.
The Pussy & Pooch was created by LA-based Tracy Beckmann Design, while AkarStudios designed the Healthy Spot in its hometown of Santa Monica. For design details on both spaces, click on the images in the accompanying slide show; for more information on the designers/vendors behind the projects, see below.
