Doggy Dao & Cat’s Meow

Julie Van Vliet opened Doggy Dao & Cat’s Meow in Hellertown in 2013. She calls it the epitome of a small, local business. “It’s ‘mom and pop’ without the pop,” she says. It’s also a one-stop shop for pet owners looking for natural and holistic food, treats and supplements for their furry friends. “I combine my experience of working in the medical field, veterinary care, pet retail and service dog training in helping someone choose the most appropriate diet for their pet,” says Van Vliet. She’s also a proud dog mama to Louie, a German Shepherd, and Miley, a Shepherd/Husky mix.
