ABOUT MUTTROPOLIS

Muttropolis is where the dog park and retail come together! Muttropolis does not sell pets, but instead encourages adoption through their many partnerships with local animal welfare organizations. Offering the ultimate in design-driven, yet functional dog and cat supplies, home furnishings, bedding, ergonomic raised feeders, travel accessories & gear and all-natural treats, Muttropolis is a utopia for pets and their parents.

The brainchild of dyed-in-the-wool “pet parents” who share a passionate love for animals, Muttropolis was inspired by their own be-loved four-legged companions. Muttropolis was also born from a desire to give something back to the animals that provide such unconditional love and companionship– a celebration of sorts of the bond between pets and their parents.
