In my work-day travels I get to go into a lot of small, independent retail stores that sell our food (or are interested in doing so). It’s truly amazing how much these people know about all different kinds of products and really take the time to help you choose what’s best for your animal. And the employees know everything because they’ve tried out all of the products on their own dogs and cats! Just recently I was in a local pet wash and holistic pet food store called Noah’s Ark, here in San Diego. This wasn’t the first time I had been in there, but it was the first time that I had taken Samson for a bath. One of their employees, Sean, was so helpful and friendly that I almost forgot how worried I was that Samson was going to hate his first bath. To help Samson calm down a bit, Sean recommended some Rescue Remedy which I had already given to him and then he sprayed a little Chill Out (aromutt therapy) to help him calm down a bit. The cool thing though is that the service doesn’t stop there. I know that if they weren’t aware that I was already feeding our food, they would try to steer me in the direction of a wholesome, holistic food (like ours!!). I think what’s so exciting to me is that these people really care about my dog and want him to eat the best thing possible!
