Complete diets are the most expensive of the pre-made diets. They are generally more complex, in that they have multiple ingredients enabling them to meet the AAFCO standards. They are generally available in patty or nugget or medallion form for ease of feeding and quick defrosting. They are easy to store and very user friendly. Because of the need for quantity feeding of these “complete” diets, either for large/giant breed dogs or for multi-dog households, some of the manufacturers are responding with bigger packages of the complete diets. Currently Nature’s Logic and Paw NatuRaw offer a 5lb roll and we offer case pricing (with mixed products from the same line) to help reduce cost. If you have the patience to divide these larger servings for smaller dogs, you can save some money by exchanging the convenience of patties or nuggets/medallions for some personal labor/time.

Frozen “Supplemental” diets.
Texas Department of Agriculture requires that any food intended for a dog or cat that is not complete per AAFCO guidelines must be labelled as “for intermittent or supplemental feeding only”. What does that mean? Basically, that you cannot take one of these foods and only feed one kind to your cat or dog and expect it to thrive. There will be gaps in the nutritional profile and over time, your pet will not do as well. Supplemental feeding is not a bad thing, in fact, it is how we feed ourselves. We eat a little of this and that every day and over time we meet our nutritional needs by eating a wide variety of foods, and most of us do it without supplementing our diets with vitamins and minerals. We could not expect to eat a strawberry yogurt for every meal and expect to thrive, however healthy the yogurt may be independently!


Choices are a good thing for your pet. Hey, how would you feel if you ate french fries for breakfast, lunch and dinner !
Choices range from Beef, Buffalo, Chicken, Duck, Emu, Goat, Lamb, Ostrich, Pork, Quail, Rabbit, Salmon, Sardines, Turkey, Venison, Yak and many more.☝
We also carry several lines of non frozen foods to make things easy during hurricane season or when you are on the road with your pet and don’t want to travel with raw. You should always have a non-frozen supply of food available for days you forget to defrost something for dinner or for you emergency supply kit when the power is out.
Canned Foods.
We carry a wide variety of canned cat and dog foods including Weruva, Halo, ZiwiPeak, Evangers, Merrick and Tripett. These foods are excellent for helping cats transition to raw food if they are resistant to wean from dry food. They are also great for short term feeding if raw isn’t an option (boarding, travel, petsitter and so on). Many people include high quality canned food to supplement underweight pets or picky eaters or sick pets. Most dogs and cats thoroughly enjoy canned food as a treat when added to their regular food. We strongly recommend if you have a pet that will not or cannot eat quality raw or home cooked food, that they eat a quality canned diet or one of the re-hydrated foods we carry. We NEVER recommend dry kibble food as a full time diet for your pet. We think “quality kibble” is an oxymoron.
Dehydrated Food Choices.

Honest Kitchen (Preference) Dr. Harvey’s (Veg-to-bowl) and Sojourner Farms (Europa) also have a veggies only diet that is intended to be fed WITH fresh meat added to make a complete meal. This gives you total control over the meat content of your dogs diet without the extra work of preparing vegetables. These diets also contain a calcium supplement so no bones are required. These veggies can also be used for the “veggie” portion of a home prepared raw diet if you prefer the convenience. They are all three very palatable to the dogs (and even some cats!).
A relatively new product to market in the last year or so has been a dehydrated complete meat diet called “ZiwiPeak”. This is a raw meat diet that has been dehydrated into small jerky pieces and can be kept un-refrigerated in a cool dry spot. This is a very palatable option to dogs and cats, but is a dry product and can have the same issues of thirst and dehydration that a kibble diet can over time. This is a very expensive product that is good for short term back up, or as an appetite inducer, but is not really a viable option financially for most pet owners due to cost (especially if you have a large dog or multiple dogs). It does make excellent training treats as the pieces are small and dry but soft and easy to eat and they are quite “smelly” to the dog so keeps their attention well. We have found this product to be in the $120 price range for an 11lb bag, so even with feeding “less” because it is concentrated, it is still an unrealistic option for most people. We are however following the direction of this type of product because the idea is very interesting. ☝
Frozen “Recreational” Bones


Treats
Our selection of treats is the most extensive of “natural” lines in Texas! We carry freeze dried, dry roasted, dehydrated, baked and pasteurized treats from all the best names in the business. Primal, Honest Kitchen, Stella & Chewy’s, Grandma Lucy’s, Canz, Wildside, Lakse Kronch, K9Magic, Zukes, Snooks and more.
We have dried ears, bully sticks, tracheas and lamb pizzles in sizes to suit the tiniest dogs to the giants.
The focus of our treat line is natural and grain free, but we do have a smaller section of treats with some simple grains or extra ingredients that give the finished treat a particular trait, such as very uniform or fun shapes (these make super fun gifts for dog loving friends), extra soft textures (great for training), super tiny treats (great for tiny dogs and puppies) and more. These fun treats complement the other products we carry.
☝
Kibble
While it is not part of our personal feeding philosophy, we understand that there are many people that either incorporate dry dog food into their feeding plan, or even use it exclusively as a base with fresh foods added to improve the nutrition. To accommodate our customers that choose to feed that way, we now carry a small selection of kibble. Nature’s Logic and Orijen are now available in limited quantities. Want to buy kibble on a regular basis? Ask about our frequent buyer program. Kibble products also qualify for our delivery service.
Supplements.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
The one supplement that we recommend for EVERY pet is a quality Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid. We carry them in liquid or capsule form, from small to extra large sizes to suit each pet owners needs.
Beds, Sleep Mats, Sleep Sacks and Crate Pads.

For those of you wanting a different type of crate mat, we have the very best, thickest double fleece mats on the market from Taylor Designed. These mats are all machine washable and easy to maintain. The fleece mats can be bleached with no problems so are EXCELLENT for whelping females or elderly (incontinent) dogs. They are available in sizes from the smallest crate to oversized for the XXL Great Dane crate from Midwest. These mats will last you for many years if you care for them properly. We have several at our house that are approximately 9 years old! Come by and feel the quality of these fleeces and you will never use another brand again.
Taylor also makes an “igloo” style fleece bed that is available by special order in an assortment of colors of your choice. We have fabric swatches for your selection. These “igloo beds” are suitable for tiny dogs or cats (XS) to pets that weigh 15-20lb (XL) and are also fully washable.
Finally, for dogs that like to “burrow” into their beds, we carry “Animals Matter” sleep sacks. Crafted from super soft chenille and soft faux suede, they will roll down to form a “cup” style bed, or can be folded partially open to allow your pet to climb in and settle down in peace. These sleep sacks are also fully washable to keep your pet clean and cozy.

Toys and furniture.


We are very proud of our extensive selections of cat trees (special order to your color selection only at this time due to space limitations and the fact that the store kitties assume all furniture is theirs!), cat climbers, scratching posts and play furniture for cats(or small dogs). None of our kitties are declawed, and we have found that by offering plenty of correct items for scratching along with re-enforcement training (squirty water bottle and Paws Off! tape for the “off limits” parts of the store), we are able to keep our kitties happy and well exercised and our furniture intact (hopefully as the kittens mature the same will apply to our skin

Cat Litter and scoops.
We carry, use and recommend The Worlds Best Cat Litter (scoopable and flushable) and Tidy Cat (clay based litter for those who prefer not to scoop). We use and recommend Litter Lifter cat scoops, once you have used one, you will wonder why you ever used those flimsy annoying scoops before. Ask for a demonstration!

ID Tags & Poop Pick Up
We recommend that your pet not be left “naked” with no ID when out with you. We carry the best ID tags currently available in North America. They are from Red Dingo and are thick, quality made stainless steel or brass. Enamelled embellishments are available in many colors and styles or the tags are available in appropriate shapes (dog or cat themed) if you prefer a more understated tag. These tags can be engraved with up to four lines of information including your pets name, address, multiple phone numbers and so on, depending on the size tag you select.
We always appreciate responsible pet owners who pick up after their pooch, and are happy to offer multiple choices of baggie carriers to snap on or hook to your leash so you always have a handy poop bag when you (or an unprepared fellow pet owner) needs one. Our Bella styles also have space in them for some money, your phone, your key, some treats and a hand sanitizing wipe should the need arise.
