A few years ago, while trying to alleviate her rescue dog Opie's flaky, itchy dermatitis, Debbie Guardian was unable to find an all-natural cure.

The L.A.-based scriptwriter wanted to help Opie's immune system, but what she found on the market was lacking. She decided it was time to create her own healing fix, and, with the help of veterinarians and nutrition experts, Opie + Dixie's all natural line of supplements, vitamins and all-organic grooming products was born.

Walking into the Doggie Style Boutique on Philadelphia's Passyunk Avenue, customers are welcomed by an unlikely greeter — a cat! But fear not, the 4-year-old feline is friendly, and serves as a welcome distraction for dogs who drop in for grooming services.

The store's shelves are lined with an array of pet products: everything from food and feeders to toys and treats. But the boutique's big draw is its upcoming "Camp Dogwood" day camp, running through July and August, where pets will enjoy daily ice cream socials, games, pool days, picnics and more. Sign us up!

When friends of mine meet my 10-year-old Maltese Ethel for the first time, they tend to do the nice thing and squeal about how cute she is. They pick her up, get close to her face, and hesitantly ask what she had to eat that day.

"Did she just have some fish...?"

Rank. Stank. That's my old lady's mouth for you. And despite my best efforts to work on her dental care — brushing her teeth multiple times a week, getting a different food bowl to help slow down her eating — she still manages to knock me out once in a while with her hot, smelly breath.

I have a confession to make. I liked Nooties' new Sweet Pea & Vanilla spritz for dogs so much that I sprayed it on my sweater before running out for work one morning. It's that good. But how does my dog like it? I was concerned the inviting, sweet smell of Nootie was going to have my 5-year-old Wheaten terrier trying to lick it off her fur, but she was completely unfazed.

Now, I too am unfazed by the backyard dirt romps that are sure to come this summer. Nootie Shampoo & Daily Spritz is a new weapon for my arsenal. And while it didn't make Zoey like taking a bath any better, it did make her smell positively yummy and look fabulously fluffy (after a nice blow-out)!

For Mike and Nancy Maida, owners of the Pawsh Dog Boutique in Boston, business has always been booming. But when Gisele Bundchen brought her beloved Yorkie Vida into the store to be groomed, the husband-wife team knew they'd really arrived.

"It's funny, the first time she came in people in the store didn't even realize who she was," Mike Maida tells PEOPLEPets.com. "But now word has spread."

Calling the supermodel and her pooch "very nice," Maida says he's happy to accommodate her every wish — and the special requests of his other loyal customers, too. "We had someone ask us to give their poodle a blue mohawk once, so we did," he laughs. "But for the most part, people here go for the standard groom."
