Stoughton’s The Crazy Dog Mom, a pet boutique located at 161 W. Main St., was named “America’s Coolest Pet Store” by PETS+ Magazine for 2024. The recognition highlights the store’s unique approach to serving the pet-owning community.
The business was founded in 2017 by Amanda Ballweg, who opened a storefront in 2022. The store offers T-shirts, dog treats, toys, gifts and home items, and accessories for dogs and owners. It also hosts community events and workshops.
The award was part of an annual PETS+ Magazine contest recognizing the best independent pet retailers and service providers across the United States. The Crazy Dog Mom was chosen among nearly 40 entries for its design, online presence, and community engagement.
