📝 SEPTEMBER RENOVATION UPDATE 📚
How is it September already?! 2020 feels like the longest, and sometimes the shortest year ever!
Longest, because.. COVID-19. Shortest, because.. We’re renovating!
We have flip flopped the store successfully! Honestly our employees, the frontline, boots on the ground employees made it happen. It was a huge undertaking, but they kept all the moving parts in a row.
Flip flopped, you say? YES! We’re now operating out of the one bay that we started with in way back in 2012 before we knocked the wall down! But this time, it’s only for a short stint.
We have been making major headway on the renovation!
💜The patio outside is looking awesome- it’ll be ready for gatherings as soon as COVID allows!
💚The new flooring is gorgeous and unique
💜Bathrooms are being moved to the back wall to allow more open space for shopping
💚Spot Washes- this is a big one! They will be fully enclosed! Not only will it help reduce your animals stress and excitability as you wash them, it’ll keep our store cleaner, making it a better shopping experience.
💜 The question everydog has been asking: YES! When the renovation is over, nail trims and grooming will resume! We can’t wait to get back to pampering your pet.
👏🏽 When will spot washes, grooming and nail trims resume? We have a target date of sometime in October to be finished with construction. If you’ve ever done any home renovations, you feel our pain 😂 things can go faster or take a bit longer, but our dedicated customer base will be the first to get updates through our Facebook and instagram!
How can you shop:
1. Place your order online for curbside pick up. We will paw our way out to your car to give you contactless delivery... unless of course your dog is sticking their head out the window, then we hope to get just 1 kiss!
2. Place your order online for free local delivery over $25. Our delivery driver has a slammin’ personality, so you won’t regret it. Again, contactless as well!
3. Stop in the store, you know you’re always welcome and we love seeing you. Here are a few details to help you plan your trip:
Please wear a mask, leave your dogs at home, and come in with a plan of what you’d like. To maintain safety for our favorite people, (YOU, and our beloved employees) we are allowing 10 people to be in the building at a time.

Lastly.. can you do us a favor and kiss your pet on the head for us? We miss them! 😩😭💜💚

We can’t agree more, Queso! We love every single one of you. We have such a diverse customer base, thank you for all you do to make The Green Spot more than a store, but a place of acceptance and love, where we pledge allegiance to the DAWGS! 😂

A note from The Good Life Bulldog Rescue:
Angus, 10, came into rescue having mainly eaten people food or super-low quality kibble. He wasn’t a big fan of the foods we tried with him until we came to the Nature’s Logic The Green Spot donated a few months ago—absolutely obsessed!
His foster mom ended up calling it his canine cavier! 😂😂😂
He’s now been with a senior adopter in Iowa for about a month, Thanks for all you do!
......................
Wow! Thanks for the sweet note! Wiggle on, Walter! Keep eating that yummy, nutritious food!
We’re so proud of you 💚💜💚💜

👀🧐😂
Update! Pupdate? 😂😂
Construction is still on schedule! We will post a more through update of what all is happening at the store (some cool updates are being done this week and we can’t wait to share the photos!)

🙌🏽 NEW DOG PARK ALERT! 👀
The Green Spot in partnership with Noddle Companies wanted to create a fun, off-leash space for you and your dog to socialize in Aksarben!
Check out the new Facebook page for all the details on how this park will rock your doggies world!
Thanks for the support and love Omaha, we’re excited to paw-ty with you! 🐶
Canine Courtyard Bark Park Omaha
October 19 at 5:45 PM ·
This year, our dogs are loving that we’re staying home more than ever, but they too tend to get a little stir-crazy sometimes and need a safe way to get out of the house, stretch their legs, and have some fun!
In partnership with Noddle Companies and The Green Spot Omaha, this off-leash dog park was created so that dogs and their humans can enjoy spending time together in a safe and fun way.
Located at 67th & Shirley streets - right next to the absolutely awesome Inner Rail Food Hall and part of the Pop-Up Park at Aksarben Village, Canine Courtyard Bark Park has two fenced (4’ chain-link) areas - a small dog side and a large dog side that are NOW OPEN and ready for some doggy visitors!
🚰 Water fountains (plus a bunch of other awesome features we can’t wait to share with you!!!) will be added in the spring, so for now, make sure to remember to bring your own water for you and your pup(s)! 💧
As an unsupervised dog park, there are probably more rules than you might otherwise find at other off-leash dog parks. Please take the time to read through them all before entering the park so that everyone can have a safe and enjoyable experience. Most importantly, we want to kindly remind you that you (the dog owner) are responsible and liable for injury or damage your dog causes to any person, dog, or property at all times and we encourage you to use this park at your own risk.
Now that all that unpleasant legal stuff is out of the way, go get out there and have some fun with your dog(s)! 🐶💛🐾💚

Chilly Dog wool and alpaca dog sweaters are the warmest because the the natural fibers have greater bulk which prevents air pockets.
Our dog sweaters are hand knit by Artisan Knitters in Northern Highlands of South America, they are made following Fair Trade Guideline.
All sweaters are handmade & may vary slightly in color & style, which we think is a pretty cool feature!

Is your pet drinking enough water? A lot of times pets are not drinking enough water due to it being “stale” or just not fresh enough.

Puppy mills exist because people are finding them.
Spoiler Alert: Cute puppies come from puppy mills too!
No matter how cute that puppy at the pet store or on that website is, it was likely born in a puppy mill and the parents are still there churning puppies out for profit. Research before you buy, avoid puppy-selling stores and don’t forget to look at your local shelter, rescue or reputable breeder for your next best friend 💙

Suki started with The Green Spot when it was just a tiny dream and we had no idea where it would go. She has been instrumental in our growth and building community trust.
If you have ever bumped into Suki at the store or had the pleasure of being served by her, you’ll know that she is such a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to share that knowledge.
Suki, Thank You for an amazing 6 years, cheers to many more to come!

Did you know that not all pet safe ice melt is created the same? A majority of the cheaper options available on the market still have salt in them which will cause irritation on your pet's feet. The only brand we recommended is Safe Paw it unlike any of the other brands. It is the Original and the #1 Pet and Child Safe Ice melter for over 20 years. Guaranteed environmentally safe – will not harm waterways and sensitive wetlands. Unused ice melt is good for years with an unlimited shelf life. Safe Paw is a patented dual-effect compound. The liquid component starts melting ice instantly while breaking its surface tension. This allows the crystal core to quickly penetrate and destabilize the ice and speed up the melting process. All this while Safe Paw proprietary traction agent provides slip protection. Safe Paw attracts heat to make it even more effective Endothermic reaction takes advantage of a solar effect.
• Non-corrosive and non-conductive formula – safe on cured concrete!
• Pet and Kid Safe even if ingested.
• Concentrated formula – use ½ of what you would use with salt! Lasts 72 hours on the surface!
• Salt free, chlorine free, acetate free formula – environmentally safe
Please be careful when using the other brands by inspecting your pups paws when they come back inside.

New Employee Alert! 📢
River has joined The Green Spot staff! River was adopted by TGS co-owner, Jess. Jess’ friends at Nebraska Humane Society helped her find the cutest pup - she and River knew it was meant to be!
River is loving exploring the store, getting to know her new family, even her pup cousins come to play with her!
She is also a flight risk 😂 we for sure have to keep her on leash at all times... but as you can see from the pictures, she is so sweet and has majorly bonded with her family quickly.
We love ya, River. Welcome home!
Even little old men need a good chew 🥰
Is there anything better than seeing your pup happy?
#omaha #omahanebraska #pugsofinstagram #puglove #seniordogsofinstagram #dogmom #dogmomlife #dogmodel #dogmomsofomaha
Well, Pups and Kittens, we are closing early today, 1/25 @ 1pm - we will have a tote of samples outside the front door. If you are in a pinch, feel free to utilize that benefit.

We’re feeling thankful to have a crazy loyal group of customers that have helped us continue to “wag on!”. Downright good people. But, as with every group of people, there are sadly a couple sour grapes..
The short version? Since this is a family owned business, family comes first. Our team (and dedicated, kind customers!) are family. To the folks who are trying to poison our beautiful store with anger and yelling.... ✌🏽we will always back our team and hate has no home here. Pretty simple.
The long version:
Each person on our team is highly trained, not only in dog and cat nutrition and our wide product selection, but also in how to care for you!
We don’t hire cashiers to simply complete your purchases.. our system offers a self-checkout option (but we plan to never turn that option on!) We want you to be taken care of from beginning to end!
Not only does our team “know their stuff”, they have also cheerfully helped TGS survive this past year by pivoting with us and learning new programs, processes and procedures in order to keep everyone as safe as possible.
In addition to learning a whole new way of doing their jobs, they all did it with a smile under their masks! We’re a small team here and we work hard to protect our pack and the tight-knit family culture we’ve developed.
We are SO SO thankful to our customers for sticking by our side while we work out the kinks that come along with these new processes and procedures. We aim to bring joy and happiness to you and your pets’ through our in-store experiences as well as online!
With all of that said, we’ve mostly received positive feedback on how our team and store has operated during COVID.
Our team is trying their best, so please be patient with them. Our phones are busier than ever, cleaning processes take longer than before, messages sometimes come in faster than they can be responded to. For these things, we are glad, we are happy to come to work, we know that we are privileged to have jobs. We also know some of these things have slowed down or inhibited your experience.
In the past week, several of our team members have been verbally harassed or threatened because a customer disagrees with our stores’ mask policy.
We totally understand that there are varying opinions on this and that everyone is dealing with frustrations coming from all directions. However, we will not tolerate taking out your frustrations on our team members.
We aren’t much for “but”... but taking out frustrations on our employees just isn’t going fly. We’re so sad that multiple customers have taken out their frustrations on our team members, as our store has turned into so much more than a retail space- it’s turned into a family. Our team is our life blood, and we will not have them fielding anger, obscenities, and aggression. For their mental health, wellbeing and satisfaction on the job. Please- let us talk with you about these things, as our team has already taken a lot in the last 11 months.
If you are struggling with ANY policy or procedure of ours- please email us! If you have a complaint, PLEASE use this as your outlet. Our email address is info@greenspotomaha.com.
If you just can't control yourself, you will be asked to leave and will not be welcome at our store anymore. Our team is working SO HARD in the hardest of times and are feeling beaten down/defeated based on the actions of a few.
Almost all of our customers have been amazing throughout the pandemic. However, there seems to be that small subset of folks who just can’t seem to choose kindness. If you cannot or choose not to abide by our store’s mask policies, you still have several ways to shop with us - online at shop.greenspotomaha.com or by phone at 402-614-7768 for contactless curbside pickup or local delivery.
We are not trying to complain. We are over the moon thankful for our customers who make our store a community. Always. You know who you are and we know you have our staffs’ backs as well!
Thanks for reading and for your support! Thank you for keeping it kind during this year that has been “the unknown”
💜💚 We love you, we love your pets,
Jess, Whit & the TGS Pack 🐾

Next week is one of the "bests" birthdays! Joel is one of the best because he is the best ever delivery driver, the best ever tiny puppy snuggler, lover of cats, lover of listening.
Joel literally takes JOY in meeting you and your pups, learning about your lives, and helping you in your search for whole health for your pet.
He is a fabulous co-worker to others, is dependable, and always helps with a willing heart. Joel: cheers to you. We really do look around the store and see everything you do to make TGS a home for so many. Happy birthday! 🎉

With everything thawing, the mud is about to get crazy! Just add some water to the cup, slip your pups paw in and BOOM!
In case you missed our live video this morning:
It has gentle silicone scrubbers, so it’s quick and easy to keep the mud from, you know, being crushed into your sofa. 😒💀😂
We even have one that fits in the cup holder of your car! Perfect for you and your adventure buddy.
Happy Saturday! It’s finally going to be nice out!! Check out these super fun toys to get out and play with your dog! And we’ve got solutions for those muddy paws. 🐶🐾
Rocko got down on a beef cheek! This is an awesome alternative to rawhides 🙌🏽
What supplements have you added to your pets routine that you love?
Can you help us identify these two ladies? They came in today and STOLE a stack of “My Dog and I Shop Local” t-shirts 🤔😒 (the irony!) along with around $1000 worth of other goods. And 👏 we’re 👏 still 👏 counting! 👏
We aren’t as worried about our loss of goods as we are about our team, truly amazing customers, and our local small-business community that is greatly hurting already.
We truly believe that this was a well-coordinated effort. Clearly one would distract/lookout while the other would snatch. Classic, right? They were in and out in minutes.
Because of this, we know that they prey on small businesses. We simply can’t have it. We network and have phenomenal working relationships with TONS of local businesses- yep, even a lot of our competitors! Omaha is tight-knit, and the small biz community is even tighter- because we have to be!
But, per usual, we know you’ll help us keep each other and our community safe. You all show us nothing but love. If you have any information about who these individuals are, please message us here on facebook or email us at info@greenspotomaha.com. You can view the videos of them in the comments.
Hug your pups. We’ll hug ours, wipe our tears and see you tomorrow - the show will go on. 💚
Thursday, 2/25, stop by for a free treat on Rocky. ❤️
Our sweet boy Rocky passed, and we still think about this “heart dog” every day. Thanks for helping us remember and celebrate the pug that helped us start this crazy dream!
Miss you forever, our little water loving, boat driving, camping, adventure buddy. Mom and Dad miss taking you to work and snuggling you tight.

It's going to sound cheesy (yum 🤣) but our lives have been forever changed by the woman owned business network here in Omaha.
We hope to love and support other women just as much. We know that your pets add so much to your life and we’re thankful that we get to walk that journey with you.

If your dog had a curfew, what time would it be and why? 😂
Our sancho would have an early curfew. Too many girls chase him and mom can’t have that 🙈🤷🏻♀️😂
THIS IS NOT A DRILL! 😂 They’re back in stock. https://bit.ly/3aZNrkb
