When and how did your business get started?

My dream has always been to do something with dogs and cats. When I was "let go" from my corporate job because of "downsizing" - I just heard in my head - "Now is the time."

I wasn't even sure exactly what I was going to do. I thought about what I know best and decided that pet nutrition was the way to go. So I put my fear aside and just went for it and decided to open Go Dog Go. "Go Dog Go" is the name of a book that was my children's favorite and now my grandchildren's favorite.  

What is your business best known for?

Education and friendly service. Our people are all educated in what is the very best for your pet; whether your pet is healthy or has a health issue. If we don't know the answer, we will try our very best to find the answers. We carry the very best healthy and nutritional products.

Why did you choose the town you did to open your business? 

I love Oswego - the people are friendly and also very pet friendly. My vision has always been to have a store in a small downtown area. Oswego fit the bill.   

What's something interesting about your business your customers might not know?

That there's a ghost in our building...

Does your business offer a special deals card or program?

We have an "in house" rewards program, buzz points from Allied Bank, and most of all the food have frequent buyer programs.
