Trade in Trade up

Think about the saying ‘you are what you eat’ and then look at your current bag of dog or cat food. What are the first few ingredients?

Are there grain flours, glutens or by-products? We want to help get your pet on a healthy road.

Bring in any bag of pet food that we do not sell and we will give you a small bag of Wellness or Holistic Select dog or cat food (while our supply lasts).

This trade-in will cost you nothing and the value of the trade-up in quality of food will have your dog or cat jumping for joy. Let us talk with you about the value of the quality ingredients and processing in the foods we carry, and have the first meal “on the house”.

We have taken the Humane Society of the United States pledge in support of stopping puppy mills. Our pledge is that we have never and will never sell live animals in our store. We also pledge to offer adoption days in our store. We have done this several times in the past for the Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption Center and the Johnson County Humane Society. Our ongoing support of our local animal shelters comes from the belief that shelters have an over flow of dogs, many of them purebreds, just waiting for homes. There are also breed specific rescue groups for every breed of dog or cat you can think of. You can ask Rosie here in the store, she is a believer that mixed-breed dogs also make wonderful pets.

If you have your heart set on a specific breed keep an eye out at the shelter or locate a rescue group that specializes in the breed of dog or cat that interests you. If you are buying from a breeder be certain to see the facility and meet your puppy’s parents.

Microchips are a wonderful and safe way to identify your dog. Thanks to Midwest One and the Friends of the Animal Center Foundation you can get a chip placed for $5 on May 1st 10am- 1pm. Be sure to have proof of rabies and go to the bank on Keokuk Street. Call 356-5295 if you have any questions. This is a great service and an added level of safety for your dog. Thanks to Midwest One for their third year of sponsoring this event.
