We traditionally start our Yappy Hours at 6pm, but we're getting our "drink on" early to accommodate ABC’s schedule. Cut out of work early and join us!

Thanks for visiting Murphy's Paw on East Bay Social
Wednesday, 9 January 2008   10:01 PM

Murphy's Paw is proud to join eastbaysocial.com, the East Bay's premier word of mouth network. Here's a little a bit about our brief history...

It all started in January 2002. Murphy joined the Sadek household and made it his own. Murph essentially became our first born son: he wasn’t a pet, he was a family member! After crate-training, puppy kindergarten, obedience school, doggy daycare and dog park socials, we met many other dogs and dog owners having the same perspective. However, something was missing; we didn’t have a special place to take Murphy for toys, treats and accessories. We occasionally frequented the big pet store chains, but felt Murphy deserved more. Well, now that place exists. At Murphy’s Paw, the combination of high quality products, great selection and expert customer service creates the shopping experience we’ve always envisioned for Murphy. Bring your families and see for yourself.

It’s good to be a dog!
Sincerely,
Mike & Melanie Sadek
