THE MODERN PAWS, TAMPA, FL

When Ben and Lisa Prakobkit began looking for natural solutions to their dog Koko’s seizures, little did they know that owning two pet-supply stores — one opened during the middle of a pandemic, no less — was in their future. The couple works and plays together, the latter involving good times with Koko and their other pup, Mister, plus plenty of entertainment–filled activities. Their current future involves expanding The Modern Paws brand in Tampa Bay and beyond.
