    Cherry after being on a raw diet for a few months
    Nancy P.

    Elizabeth, the owner....I can't say enough good things about about her. I found Marin Raw in September of 2023. Thank God! My 13 year old Doberman had been diagnosed with Cushings Disease. I have owned 12 dobermans in my life and had been feeding dry dog food up until this diagnosis. I did the research and found out that the dry dog food, for so many many reasons should NEVER be fed to dogs. I immediately started grinding my own food. Ordering bone and hearts, etc and having it delivered from across the country, until I found Marin Raw. Elizabeth is like family now. She gives me so much information and even the code to her store, when I needed food late at night and she was closed. She is dedicated to educating dog owners and she is someone you can trust. As far as the Raw Diet and all the controversy over it. My veterinarian at Central Animal Hospital in Petaluma told me in no uncertain terms that raw is dangerous!! I have to say that in 8 days my dog showed no signs of Cushings. I had blood work done a month after putting her on an all raw diet and her blood work was completely normal. I found a holistic vet in Santa Rose, Wise and Wonderful Veterinary. Our second doberman is now on raw too. My daughter is a vet tech who lives with me. She is against the raw too. My sense is to feed closest to real food. I buy my raw meat from Elizabeth and grind vegetables to add and my dogs have never been healthier. I can not recommend Marin Raw enough. In fact I am like a representative for the raw diet now...I tell everyone, as I do think it has saved my 13 year old doberman's life. She could hardly breath, she had thick mucus coming from her eyes and had to have steroid cream 2x a day, she could not hold her urine and was drinking bowls of water and having accidents because she could not hold it. She was loosing all the strength in her legs, so could not even squat to urinate. Her coat was dull and dry. 6 months later. Wow!! A beautiful Speciman! She and her sister love their food. I even buy Elizabeth's raw Sardines and grind them in my food processor. I do not know what I would do without Marin Raw, as I did find out that the company I was buying from Blue Ridge Beef, Lily's Advantage....Santa Cruz. Shipped to me, however, they have a rendering facility. (Not regulated - basically a place where they dispose of animals that are diseased and die). Do not listen to your veterinarians. They do not know enough about a raw diet and will tell you it is bad. I know better now...wish I had know for my past dogs...

    Crazy digestion issues, hair loss, intense itchiness, a lot of weight loss - so miserable :(

    Liz changed my dog's life. My dog has been suffering from food intolerance, allergies and bowel disease her whole life. It got so bad she lost 20 lbs, her fur was falling out, completely itchy all over. Vets were prescribing all kinds of meds that were making her sicker. I thought she was going to die from the malabsorptive bowel disease. She was 11 years old. It was a slow and steady change to raw food. She is an insanely picky eater. Now she is 13 years old and mostly fine! I know she is an old dog with arthritis but her digestion issues have gone away.

    I am so bummed to see one of my neighborhood pet stores selling animals! I came in for the first…read moretime to see what I could find for my rodent friends (it's hard to find any brick and mortar that sells rodent supplies), but I was so taken aback with how the rodents being sold were living. Rodents need a good amount of space to move around laterally -- there were several mice confined to a very small tank. Birds and fish were also living in small and dirty quarters. I want to support local business, because I believe the owner knows a lot of about animals and gets a lot of local business. But I we really need to address the harms of the retail sale of animals. Please stop selling them in your store!

    I stopped in looking for a jacket for my dog since it's been so cold out. I wanted to support a…read moresmaller business... but small business does not mean ethical. I thought they only sold supplies, but to my dismay they sell/exploit animals like objects. This place is misery for animals. Birds, reptiles, fish, and rodents languishing in tiny, miserable cages.... just so that they can make money selling them. It's not okay to treat animals like merchandise. Most pet stores nowadays just sell supplies - not animals. I hope this store will transition away from selling animals and just sell supplies. If you need supplies do not shop here, try Woodlands Pet Food & Treats, Pet Pro, Pet Food Express which are local San Rafael pet stores that don't exploit animals. And if you're looking to get an animal, please adopt from a shelter or rescue never buy them from places like Red Hill Pet Center. Check adoptable animals at petfinder.com

    We have been shopping here for at least 4 years. Always encounter a knowledgeable and helpful…read morestaff. As an example, our son ended up bringing home a very ill gecko that he saved from a friend. We went in for advice. They helped us get the little guy back to a normal state. We ended up taking him in to the store to rescue. About a month later, we were in the store for dog food. The "gecko" guy saw us and updated us on the rehoming and health of Gordon. The staff seems to be well trained. Always cheerful which is a good indicator of good management.

    I used to come to Petco to buy supplies for my dogs and rodents that I can't find at animal supply…read morestores that do NOT sell animals. It's honestly so hard to go past all the animals living in their tiny, restrictive enclosures. I never have to pass them but today I went through to see how all the animals were doing. Sadly, I saw fish being sucked into the water purifiers, alive and stuck, dying a slow death. I found several innocent fish like this, it must happen daily. Turtles, who live decades, living in boxes with no enrichment. I saw hamsters and mice bored out of their minds in tiny plexiglass cubes. Why are we selling animals when our shelters are inundated with animals who need homes? Petco does not need to sell animals to make a profit, they have great products and food for sale. Stop the breeding and selling of animals! Please do not buy your pet friends! Check adoptable animals at petfinder.com
