VIRCHEW // KAZZY & ANDREW - TESTIMONIAL
Our Virchew Testimonial⁠ "Kazzy is soon to be a four year old rescue from Iran. Adopted by our family at the age of one. She showed up with a bunch of trauma -which over time has left her little body. She was a regular carnivore -came to us that way. I enjoy a plant based lifestyle and always wanted Kazzy to partake in one as well. I had little to no viable options until I came across the Virchew shop on West 4th. Locally owned, created & operated by a loving group of forward thinking women.
Pimi 🐶 Sharing The LOVE (Bowl)⁠
Pimi 🐶 Sharing The LOVE (Bowl)⁠ Hi Hoomans! Thanks to Virchew, my hooman and I are sleeping better at night because we know none of my animal friends are suffering and dying because of my diet. Eating plant-based is yummy, uber-healthy, planet friendly, and so satisfying for not just big peoples but for little puppers.

And the Love Cookies are a hit!!" ~ Karen N, hooman to Violet.
VIRCHEW // REMEMBRANCE DAY POPPIES
As we don our red poppies today, here are some Poppy Safety Tips for our furry companions: * The exposed needle behind the poppy must be tucked securely beneath clothing, as dogs often hug humans in greeting. * Be sure to collect any poppy pins you see on the ground, as some dogs will eat anything off the sidewalk! * Remove and store your poppy pins safely, especially if you have a cat at home, because that small precious flower is often a tempting toy for them to play with.
