The Natural Dog is a company that represents health and wellness for dogs and cats.  We strive to provide dogs and cats with a wide selection of natural foods, whole food supplements and environmentally friendly products.  We research and choose our products according to quality and rational nutrition rather than popularity.  Our goal is to educate customers on species appropriate feeding for dogs and cats, and assist with healthy diet choices versus commercially popular ones.

At The Natural Dog, we pride ourselves on product selection and customer education.  We strive to be an animal resource center for our customers where they can choose from a wide variety of natural and holistic products.  We extensively research every product, so that our customers can shop with confidence.    When possible, we buy local products and support small businesses. We overlook the marketing hype and choose products based on superior nutrition, quality ingredients and company ethics.  At The Natural Dog it is our mission to provide dogs and cats with a healthy alternative to today’s toxic environment.

Our Foods

We provide a wide variety of diets to choose from.  We offer frozen raw diets, homemade premixes, dehydrated meat diets, natural kibble and canned foods.  The pet food industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and there are numerous myths and misconceptions about what to feed.  This is often confusing and overwhelming to new dog and cat owners.  We can help guide you through this difficult task of choosing the right food and supplements for your pet.  Our knowledgeable staff is available to assist our customers with diet selections and can answer most pet food questions.  For complicated issues such as allergies, diabetes, renal disease, heart disease, bowel disease, and other chronic medical conditions, we offer private nutrition consultations.

Our Supplies

Our focus is on U.S. made, environmentally friendly, and recycled products.  We carry beds, bowls, toys, collars, leashes and other supplies which meet these criteria.  We stock lead free bowls, hemp and bamboo collars, organic toys and beds.  Our products are selected based on safety and sustainability.  Dogs and cats with allergies and sensitivities greatly benefit from our eco-friendly, hypoallergenic, and non-toxic products.

Our Wellness Center

In addition to providing a wide selection of well researched food and supplies, we also offer wellness services for dogs and cats.  These services include nutrition consults, homeopathy, massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, reiki, flower essence and essential oil therapies.  In addition to private appointments, we offer seminars and workshops in all of these areas.

Nutrition Philosophy

• Fresh is Best

• A diet with fresh, high quality ingredients, without additives and chemical preservatives, and minimal processing is ideal.

• Offer Variety & Healthy Supplements

• Optimal nutrition does not come in a bag or can.  Healthy diet plans include fresh food, supplements, rotation, and variety. 

• Rotate Often

• Pet foods vary in the quality of the diet, the source of ingredients, and the production process.  Rotating proteins and other ingredients can be an ideal way to ensure a well-rounded diet.

• Quality Counts

• Quality ingredients will have better bioavailability of nutrients as more nutrients will be absorbed.

• Avoid the Marketing Hype

• Don’t be fooled by pretty packaging, fancy words, and big promises.  The pet industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and everyone wants a piece of it.  Avoid popular brands just because it is the most commercial.  Select food based on quality, superior nutrition, and company ethics.
