Project overview

Cosmick Media created the pet store website design and development for Dream Tails Boutique, the Dream Tails Sarasota by Petland pet boutique on Lockwood Ridge Road in Sarasota, Florida. The brand is soft and upscale, built around the line “where pets find their people.” So the Dream Tails Sarasota website had to feel like walking into the boutique: calm, personal and focused on the puppies and kittens.

Behind the design is a complete puppy store platform. Available puppies and kittens are connected to the store’s inventory through Cosmick Media’s Unified Kennel Management software. As a result, families see current pets, photos, ages and status without staff updating the website by hand.

What puppy shoppers expect online

Families compare pet stores online long before they visit. They want to know which puppies are available today, what they look like and how old they are. They also want to know what it takes to bring one home. If a site shows sold puppies or old photos, families lose trust, and the store loses the visit.

In addition, Dream Tails needed to stand out as a boutique, not a typical pet shop. The store also wanted to reach families in nearby communities, not just Sarasota.

Pet store website design that sells the visit

First, we designed every page to move families from browsing to booking a visit. Then we built the features a busy puppy store needs:

  • Live puppy and kitten listings. Each pet card shows photos, breed, gender, age, color and reference number. Labels like New This Week and Coming Soon highlight new arrivals.
  • Filter Pets panel. Shoppers can sort by breed or date and filter by puppies or kittens, gender and breed.
  • Pet profile pages. Every pet has its own page with a photo gallery, full details, view counts and popularity badges. Families can also tap Notify Me for pets that are coming soon.
  • Clear calls to action. Every pet card offers Call, Pricing & Availability and Meet Me buttons. In addition, Reserve a Time appointment booking appears in the header on every page.
  • Deposits and paperwork. WooCommerce and WooCommerce Deposits handle pet deposits, while Gravity Forms with e-signature support handles forms.
  • Boutique content. Pages for concierge service, special financing, the adopted pet gallery, FAQs and Dream Tails Cares tell the full story.
  • Promotions. A promotional banner with a live countdown timer keeps limited-time offers front and center.
  • Local SEO. Areas We Serve pages target Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Siesta Key, Longboat Key and Casey Key. Each community also has breed-specific pages, for more than 50 local landing pages in total.
  • Tracking and hosting. Google Tag Manager, PixelYourSite and UTM attribution track where customers come from. Finally, the site is hosted on Kinsta with Cloudflare and includes an accessibility toolbar.

A boutique experience online

Dream Tails now has a website that looks as polished as the boutique and keeps its puppy and kitten inventory current. Families can browse available pets, check details and book a visit from any phone. Meanwhile, the local landing pages help the store show up for shoppers searching in nearby communities.

Cosmick Media builds pet store website design and marketing for pet stores across the country. If your store’s website doesn’t show current puppies or doesn’t bring in visits, talk to our team about a custom pet store website and Unified Kennel Management.
