Exciting New Focus in Stores


I am pleased to announce a drastic shift in store branding and philosophy that we are taking and phasing in over the next 6 months. The changes are two fold: 1) more treats, 2) more economical super-premium pet foods.

Treats - Our Nature's Pet stores will be drastically expanding their dog and cat treat sections to offer the largest natural pet treat selection in the Pacific Northwest. New treats will include a whole line of buffalo treats, bulk biscuits, more raw bones, catnip treats for cats, and much much more. Our ultimate goal is to offer you the absolute best selection at the best price.

Food - We realize that economic times have forced many to adjust their budgets, so how do we manage these new times while still giving our pets the best from the best sources? After puting our heads together, we have developed several amazing new options that are coming to market in the next month or two. These new lines offer great products with great ingredients at amazing prices. Imagine a legitimate 40# bag again for under $40. That's right, we found it and are excited to launch it in our stores around mid-May. What about those of you who feed your pets a high protein, no grain diet? We found something for you too - an amazing no-grain large bag product with high meat content that will retail at between $44-$49. We even found diets to fit puppies, overweight pets, dogs with allergies, and active dogs.

So come check out the new Nature's Pet, the first natural pet supply system focused on reasonably priced natural pet foods and treats. You don't have to sacrifice quality to save money in today's market.

EVO Canned Rabbit - Where did it go?


For months many retailers were wondering when the EVO canned rabbit formulas would be back in stock in the Northwest so we could fill our empty shelves again with a great product with high demand. So where did it go and why can't consumers find this product anywhere?

Answer: Natura Pet Products, maker of EVO, has a strict policy of only sourcing its ingredients from reputable, reliable and sustainable suppliers. However, the list of suppliers that fit those parameters for rabbit meat are few and far between. The inability to sustain the demand caused Natura to make a tough decision of either continuing to offer the product but sporadically or ending the line to maintain their philosophy of only offering sustainable products. They chose the latter and therefore EVO rabbit canned food is no longer offered by Natura.
