I LOVE the pet food selections here and the STAFF!…read more The BEST on the PLANET! I have (2) very difficult to feed pets (cat and dog). The Jack Russell Terrier is 17 + years old, fragile and gluten free. I adopted him when he was 9 years old, from "Jack's Galore, Washington, MA.". LINK: http://www.jacksgalore.org/ Sampson, had been deeply abused. He was actually, his former family's living, punching bag. When he arrived, he was super sick, malnourished and highly aggressive. He was in pain and struggling to survive. Yes! I knew all of this... at the time of his adoption. Sampson, eats only "Holistic Select". Sampson's Cat brother, is 15 + years old. He, lives with advanced Kidney Disease. He was a part of a New Hampshire, "Meth House" rescue. This poor (handicapped) cat, ate ONLY dry food his entire life, with no access to love or health care. Through the very patient, helpful guidance of the staff of "Food for Pets", I was able to switch him from a 100% dry food diet to a much healthier, life sustaining diet of canned cat food. He now eats, ONLY (Fromme). Both pets, are elderly, with deep medical conditions, but they have life sustaining friends, courtesy of the "Food for Pets" staff, Operations Manager and Store Manager. The food, treats and other products are reasonably priced. The cat toys, are fun and safe for older pets. The advice, the care and concern, that my (2) senior pets have received from this pet food store, makes the shopping trip worthwhile. The cost of feeding them specialized pet food, is an easy process. I know that both pets, are being treated like family, every time I buy their foods and toys here, at "Food for Pets". Thank you for their care and the great selections of pet foods, here.

HUSKY DIARRHEA GONE!!!…read more I have a 5 month old Siberian Husky. She came to me with parasites and very soft stools. She was treated for parasites by the vet, and is now negative. but diarrhea has been persistent. Even the anti-diarrhea med has had no effect. I tried bland diet, and that didn't work. I was at my wits end, and decided to make phone calls to find kibble for sensitive stomachs. I called Food For Pets in Amherst NH, and spoke with DOUG. After explaining to him everything that I've tried, he recommended a recipe that would get her stabilized. The recipe had 3 ingredients: Canned pumpkin (100% pumpkin, no spices), cooked steel cut oats, and boiled ground turkey (99% fat free). He gave me the proportions for my dogs weight, and he said not give any treats. I was to feed her three times a day with this recipe. The goal is to get the dog's bowels stabilized, and once she is stable, then we can introduce kibble. The kibble that the breeder recommended, although it's a good food, it was probably too rich in fat for her. The vet wanted me to keep her on the anti-diarrhea med, and also add a probiotic. Well, it only took 1.5 days of being on this recipe, and her poop started to firm up! it's been 3 days now, and her poops are perfect! My puppy feels so much better! She was irritable before, and restless all night. Now, she is calm, and sleeps the whole night! I'm so grateful for Doug at Food For Pets in Amherst NH! His breath of knowledge on dog foods and health, has saved my puppy from developing further bowel disorders! I'm now working with Doug on introducing a low fat, high fiber kibble and probiotics. Food For Pets will be the only place I'll go, for my dogs food! Thank you Doug, for taking the time to hear my story, and for helping my little puppy heal And thank you Jesus, for guiding me to Doug

In January, I boarded my pitbull Zeus who is 5 years at Echo Lane. I've wanted to work with them for a little while now. Anytime I've previously tried working with them they I would leave multiple voicemails and call attempts to reach someone. They are not even a mile away from me and was the only place I knew of instead having to go to Manchester to board my pit. Eventually after multiple call attempts; I finally got a return call and scheduled my dog to be boarded there. He was super excited and I felt they were quick and easy to work with when boarding him; so I thought. When it came time to pick him up; Zeus was excited to see me and they gave me the lease and off they thought I went. Upon getting Zeus in my car I noticed his nose was bloodied up so I went back inside kindly asking for an explanation and a call from a manager. A day when by and no call; so I reached out myself and no call back. I ended up having to physically go back there in which their explanation was he tried to get out of kennel and broke the fence. I was not disturbed that we were going to let me take my dog home without telling me any issues; but that I had no even received a call from them when any of this took place. They offered to get oinment for him and meet me somewhere so I can pick it up. They did do that; there was no follow up call on how he was. After telling some of my friends this and showing them a picture of the alleged incident I was informed that the way the fence was pushed out there is no way Zeus would have done that and that it looked like a very old fence. Time passed by; and I needed to board my dog again and I called them and left multiple voicemails again. At this point; I wanted to forget and forgive, whatever happened I understand dogs will be dogs and surely since they have a kennel they would be trained for any kind of situation for a dog and that maybe they would make sure to not let history repeat itself. In a way they kinda did! After multiple calls and voicemails to give them a second chance at my business; I ended up texting one of the owners and eventually they told me without explanation they would not allow Zeus back at the Kennel. Not only did I feel they were extremely unprofessional; but I do feel they are not trained nor qualifed to watch dogs. If my dog truly bit his way out of the kennel as they claim it makes me believe they leave other dogs in there for an extended period of time and that this isn't their first rodeo of having an issue with a dog. If there was an actual issue with Zeus and that there's more to the story; they failed in being upfront and honest with me. If that's the case; they lack true customer service and lack any honest business morals. I wish Google reviews would allow me to post the pictures, but they don't provide a link. I did find a couple other local kennels that have been more than accommodating towards me and if they can't board him because of space they refer someone who will as well. If you're looking to board your dog check out peace and paws or paws on pine. Beware of this place; also keep in mind for dog owners who feed their dogs organic dog food or raw dog food. Echo lane kennel does not offer that kind of food and therefore you will need to bring your dogs food. They offer kibbles and bits and Purina which have been proven to be very bad for dogs.
