No, we do not sell animals.
We partner with local rescues to host cat adoption events and dog meet-and-greets, giving the community a chance to meet adoptable pets and learn more about rescue organizations. Please read about puppy mills for more information about why dogs, birds, rabbits etc should not be purchased in a store. bailingoutbenji.com -
We’re very selective about the products we bring into our shop. Every item on our shelves is chosen with your pet’s health, safety, and long-term wellbeing in mind. Here’s what guides our choices:
✔ High-Quality, Effective Products
We only stock items that are well-made, reliable, and actually work. Whether it’s a supplement, grooming tool, food, or toy, we look for products with proven results and trustworthy ingredient or material sourcing.
✔ Third-Party Testing & Transparency
Whenever possible, we choose brands that use independent, third-party testing for safety, purity, and nutritional accuracy. Transparency matters to us, so we support companies that openly share their testing standards, manufacturing practices, and quality control.
✔ Low Carbon Footprint & Sustainable Options
We care about the environment just as much as you do. We do our best to prioritize products that:
Use eco-friendly or recyclable packaging
Support responsible sourcing
We believe small choices can help protect the planet our pets love exploring.
✔ Support for Positive Reinforcement Training
We focus heavily on tools and treats that align with positive reinforcement training, because it’s safe, science-backed, and builds stronger, happier relationships between pets and their people. That means you’ll find:
High-value training treats
Reward-based training gear
No-pain, no-shock training tools
Enrichment toys and puzzles that encourage natural behaviors
✔ Products We Trust for Our Own Pets
Ultimately, if we wouldn’t use it with our own pets, we won’t sell it. Our shop is built on quality, honesty, and doing what’s best for animals—not just what’s trending.
