Our Roots: Gone To The Dogs was established in 2009 in Salida, CO by Laura and Tony Bussing. In 2013, they expanded and opened a 2nd location in Buena Vista, CO.

Gone to the Dogs also has a Self-Wash at both locations.

Our Mission: To provide the very best in merchandise, grooming & training services to our clients with compassion and integrity. We are known as the source for the finest, safest products, supplies and food for dogs & cats. If we wouldn’t give it to our pets, we won’t sell it to yours.
