Look no further than Calvin & Susie’s all-natural, homemade treats! Made with love right here in Honolulu, we use organic, locally sourced, human-grade ingredients whenever possible.

We adore our cats, but they don’t always adore the treats we (try to) give them. How often have you been in a situation where you want nothing more than to give your kitty a treat that seems tasty to your human sensibilities, that you chose ever so carefully to suit your picky kitty’s discerning tastes, only to have her turn her nose up at the offering? Like she’s offended. Most cat parents are all too familiar with this scenario. And while we can’t guarantee what treats your cats will like, we are confident in a couple of our customer favorites. Bravo! Treats are 100% freeze dried meat – nothing else. These purr-fectly cat-sized morsels retain the rich, wholesomeness of raw meat through the

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the hall, came the squeak-squeak-squeak of Mighty Toys’ “rainbow tooting” Unicorn Ball! Though the dogs were playing so rough with their toy, a “10” on Mighty’s toughness scale gave their owners such joy. Made with no “white poly stuffing”, floatable, and so plush, in sizes medium and large – to our stores you must rush! At just $13-$20 dollars, fill your dog with such glee, from our shelves in Kapahulu or Kailua, to under your tree. Watching happy pups play, oh my what a sight, Happy Howl-idays to all, and to all a good night!

As you may have seen, both our Kailua and Kapahulu stores have “chimneys” in them these days. These “chimneys” are for our By the Chimney With Care Donation Drive that we’re running for the month of December in collaboration with local rescue organizations Kaaawa K-9 Rescue, Second Chance ‘Ilio, and Rescue Paws. Poster design generously donated by designer, Katie Grip. To date the drive has raised approximately $1000 in toys, treats, food, pet accessories, and monetary donations. Our chimneys have lots of gifts for Santa to take to cats and dogs in need of a little extra cheer this holiday season, THANKS TO YOU. Thank you so much for your kind and giving spirit. We, and more importantly the

The holidays are all about indulgence. Just one more glass of eggnog, just one more Christmas cookie, just one more piece of pie.

What a year, am I right? We say this at the end of every year, but WOW, what a year it’s been for us! Our Kailua store has really come into its own, with a real sense of ohana in the Kailua community; our Calvin & Susie line of pet products for at home, at play, in the pantry, and on-the-go has grown beyond our expectations and continues to give pets near and far a touch of aloha. The business side of Calvin & Susie is doing well, and we’re so happy that we get to keep on serving you and your pets. But what we’re really thankful for, what really gave us purpose during this admittedly turbulent 2016, were our customers. You. Whenever you and/or your furry family member came into our store, yo

Every cat parent knows how fickle their kitties can be when it comes to toys. One day’s treasure may be bo-ring the next. However, with Dr. Pussums’ Fancy Feline Elixir Catnip toys, your cat might discover a life-long favorite! From the “foothills of western Maine”, Dr. Pussums’ catnip toys are stuffed with nothing but “pure fresh” and “curiously strong” catnip – absolutely no fillers. In fact, the catnip is so potent (but safe!) that each toy stays fresh for between 1 to 3 years, depending on how rough-and-tumble your cat is with it! But this is the cat toy that keeps on giving the whole year round – and then some. Just plant your Dr. Pussums’ Catnip toy when it’s past its prime, and any le
