Soapy's Guide To St. Louis

Soapy as a puppy at Herbaria

Let Us Be Your Concierge

Soapy was our first shop dog, serving faithfully for 13 years. Today, Bubbles is our tail-wagging greeter.

Both dogs love to come to work, and they also enjoy sharing local sights with Herbaria friends.

Locations are arranged from downtown westward, then east into Illinois, then further afield in Missouri.

Find 1000s more pics of the pups on Instagram.
