Our story

Who loves you?

It's a question we ask every dog who visits, right as they get their treat. Here's where it comes from.

01 · Bisou
It started with Bisou.
Our shop is named after our sweet dog Bisou, whose middle name was Bijou. She started it all, and she's still the heart of this place.

02 · The treat
A treat, and a question.
Every dog who comes through our door gets a treat. And every time, we ask the same thing: "Who loves you?"

03 · The answer
We do.
That's our answer for every dog, and our promise to every customer. Bisou, Desi and Coco started this tradition, and it lives on with every treat we hand out.

04 · Your clothes
The same love, for your clothes.
Our three tailors pin, stitch and press every piece like it's their own.

Our family

Every dog who visits is family.

So many of our regulars come in with their pups, and every one of them gets a treat and the same question: "Who loves you?"

Our family wall is coming soon.

Bring your pup by for a treat and a quick photo, and they could be featured right here. Dogs are always welcome at Bijou.

In loving memory

Bisou, Desi & Coco

The three who started it all. Each lived to about seventeen, and every one of those years was full of love. They're the reason every dog who walks in gets a treat, and they'll always be part of the Bijou family.
