Did you know that 67% of Americans have a pet?  If you are not among us, you hopefully have a fur-friend nearby. Because, pets are the best!  

If you follow our Instagram, you know that it's been a big year for pets at ANTIDOTE 1848.  Homer, a mini labradoodle and Astro, a Boston terrier, joined our families.  Our days now include plenty of poop and pee breaks, and weekly training - more for ourselves than for our pups.  

We've been amazed at how our pets have changed our lives.  Homer and Astro remind us to take in the joy of a fresh snowfall and marvel at a full moon during a midnight walk.  They connect us with the natural world in so many ways. One touch from their paw, makes the day's troubles fade away.  And there's nothing like a pet's greeting to put a smile on your face - gotta love that "happy dance."

We hope that you will join us in celebrate National Love Your Pet Day - February 20th - by supporting your local Humane Society or animal shelter.
