Answers Pet Food is specifically formulated by a nutritional scientist to find the most appropriate fermented diet, using only whole raw foods. Their passion is creating a higher standard of pet food. We absolutely love this line of raw pet food. The only raw pet food that is fermented puts Answers in a whole other level of nutrition for your pet."
Owner/Head Groomer Deena has been using the Natural Groomer for over 20 years. This gentle line of shampoos uses natural oils and herb extracts. No harsh soaps or detergents are used ever. This is our favorite everyday shampoo.
We were very excited the first time we heard about Open Farm. Every Open Farm recipe is designed to give your pet exactly what they need and nothing more because Open Farm is committed to raising the bar on the way we feed our pets, with even stricter quality than what we feed ourselves.
As most people know if you’ve lived in San Antonio for any amount of time you or your pet has had a brush with seasonal allergies. We love integrative healing Institute holistic allergy tinctures. They are formulated primarily For the types of environmental allergens we have in this area. So if you’re looking for a gentle more natural allergy support definitely check this out.
We love raw pet foods. We love limited ingredient. We love small batches. We love Texas! We love Bones & Co! B&C is an awesome raw pet food company from Austin Texas.
"At Bones & Co. Pet Foods, we believe it’s up to us to do right by dog, no matter the cost. #RawFoodRebels"
That’s why they handcraft the best, most appropriate food for dogs. B&C's food is 95% meat bone, & organs and 5% vegetables, vitamins, & minerals—making it the most biologically and metabolically-appropriate food out there. With no preservatives, no grains, and absolutely no fillers, their food has nothing to hide.
We've been known in the past for being very picky about the shampoos that we use or suggest in our shop. Skout's Honor has raised the bar and changed the shampoo game. This has been one of our favorite additions. What makes it so awesome is their use of probiotics.
WHY PROBIOTICS?
The skin is home to trillions of bacteria, some good and some bad. The good bacteria serve as the first line of defense against the environmental damage and inflammation commonly associated with excessive shedding, itching, dryness, infection and odor. When applied to the skin, probiotics make it difficult for harmful bacteria to take over and allow the good bacteria to flourish.
Skout's Honor's Probiotic Skin Care for Pets combines the breakthrough technology of topical products with advanced natural cleansers and conditioners to produce a noticeably healthier-looking skin and coat in 2-4 weeks.
If you're looking for a more natural ayurvedic approach in treating your pet for health issues such as seasonal allergies, anxiety, dental health etc. Herbsmith is a terrific supplemental line. Chris Bessent, D.V.M., founder of Herbsmith, practices holistic veterinary medicine, utilizing Chinese herbs, acupuncture, food therapy and chiropractic on all animals. After more than a decade of using Chinese herbal combinations in her practice, Dr. Bessent channeled her wealth of knowledge and experience into Herbsmith, Inc.
We are excited to carry CocoTherapy products.
