Shop Will Give Dog a Haircut...and Bake Him a Cake
EDWARDSVILLE
Inside of Whisker Bones Supply Co. in downtown Edwardsville, there is enough room for people to bring in their dogs, without knocking over merchandise. Owners Perry Patten and Scott Tripp purposely don’t overstock shelves.
Patten, 40, and husband Tripp, 42, of Glen Carbon opened the shop in April in order to sell organic treats baked for animals right in the shop. They also sell toys, bandanas, collars, pet food, along with some Christmas ornaments for pet owners, and drink supplements for pets. They do have human stuff as well, such as coffee and mugs.
The couple, who have been married since 2010, added pet grooming services in mid-November. They have hired a bather and a groomer and have a total of six employees. Patten and Tripp also plan to launch online sales in the future......................
