The food I've been giving my dogs for 4 years is being discontinued/changed, so I knew it was time to switch up what they're being fed. I wanted to speak to someone knowledgeable about dogs who could help guide me in the right direction - not google, not someone being paid to promote a certain product, not an 18 year old at PetSmart who just needed a job - someone who I know knows their stuff. I'd been to Food 4 Paws before for different dog events so I knew they carry quality products.
So, in I went, not knowing a whole ton about all the different dog food options. There are a zillion options out there. The owner started by asking my dogs' breeds, ages, and health info. She explained benefits of each brand of food in the store in ways that made sense to me. She knew the history of every company she sells - how long it's been around, how many generations of families have owned it - clearly she's spent so much time researching this stuff and getting to know these companies.
Needless to say, I found a new food to try! Also got the dogs some healthy treats and some natural flea/tick treatment! There are some awesome dog toys/activities in there that I can't wait to check out when we need more food!
I'm so happy I'm able to shop local now instead of supporting a chain store, and what a great resource for so many dog questions. CR is so lucky to have this! read more
