DOG DAYS AT THE SHOPS AT COLUMBUS CIRCLE
On April 11, the country celebrates National Pet Day. But every day is Pet Day at The Shops at Columbus Circle, where fur babies are greeted with open arms. Cats and bunnies and other furry friends are welcome, but at The Shops at Columbus Circle, man’s best friend seems to rule the roost. The appeal? Plenty of dog-friendly retailers, a temperature-controlled space where Fido and friends can stroll in style, and some of the most stylish dog treats on the planet. Here are some of the cutest dogs we’ve spotted lately at The Shops at Columbus Circle.
Pet: Olivia
Breed: Australian Shepherd
Age: 4 months
Owner: Gabi
What are you doing at The Shops at Columbus Circle?
We come here a lot because we love Williams-Sonoma, Ted Baker London, BOSS, and Whole Foods Market.
Why do you like to bring your pet here?
It’s pet-friendly. No one says you can’t go to this place or that place with her. And she behaves very well here: I’m super proud of her.
What does your pet like to do?
It’s hard to find an indoor space in New York City that’s pet-friendly, where we can walk, she can expend energy, and we can look around.
