Wipe Your Pawz! Closing

CatHerder on Grief - Sun, May 10 2009

Nooooooooooooooooooo! :(

From an email I received --

Dear Wipe Your Pawz! Customers,

It's with great sadness that we have to annouce that Wipe Your Pawz! has closed its doors. It's an extraordinary time right now, and we tried our best to stay ahead and ride out the storm...unfortunately...we just didn't have the resources to make it. It seems everyday that you hear about another big company having trouble, but it's the little guy whom you rely on the most is the one that doesn't make the front page of the paper. We made a good run, just short of 4 years. We couldn't have made it this far without the great customers we had. That's going to be the hardest part not seeing the familiar customers coming in month after month...some since the day we opened. We thank you for your patronage.

We have listed below the closest places to buy food, you may want to call ahead and make sure they have what your looking for (Specks does have a very small self-serve wash...it's not like ours of course!):

Specks Pet Supply Avon - 7577 E US 36, Avon IN - 272-7738
City Dogs Grocery - 661 E 49th Street, Indy (Broadripple) - 926-3647

Erin who was an employee, was also a certified groomer. She is getting into vet school, but always has time if you need a grooming or just a bath! Please call her at 640-6646.

There is some good news. Earlier this year we moved our photo studio away as a separate business that is just opening up. We wanted to be able to show that we did just more than pets, and needed another location. As we have mentioned in other letters, that is Eagle Creek Photography. If you are interested or know someone that would, please send them along to our website at www.eaglecreekphotography.com. This will be the last e-mail from Wipe Your Pawz!, however, if you would like to be on our list for our photo studio, please send an e-mail to info@eaglecreekphotography.com. We will also continue to work with the Indy Humane Society and other rescues to raise money...stay tuned as the Humane Society will be making annoucements for that during the year.

Thank you,
Shawn & Catherine Barney

I saw this late last night but hoped when I woke up it would all be a bad dream. I'm going to miss that place and everybody that works there. I wonder if he's selling it with all the inventory because there was no inkling they were closing. So sad. this is where I came in contact with Raffi too. How are the poor strays going to find me now?

I'm so sorry to hear that any small business is closing. They were my go-to place on the Westside. Had great stuff and were really nice people.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear this. I thought they were in the process of adding a dog bakery. I closed my shop a couple of years ago, and it was more than painful to do so. Really sorry that WYP won't be around any longer.

That's the odd part. He did just open the dog bakery within the last month. As a matter of fact, I had a BOGO coupon for treats that I never got to use.

That is so sad to hear. We didn't go there that often since it is a distance for us. But whenever we were in the area we always stoped by to get a few treats and to get a pizza at that pizza place in the same center. We wish them luck.
