| - We stopped in this weekend because we've been having trouble with our Aussie's diet. He doesn't care for the food they fed at the shelter (lamb and rice from mounds), nor the kirkland chicken and rice. In addition to not wanting to eat, he has had some gastrointestinal issues on both, and seems to have some allergies that have gotten worse on the chicken and rice (lots of paw chewing and licking).
We were the only ones in the store, so the employee was super attentive and very helpful. She gave us four free samples to try with different protein sources and some grain free. She also suggested if those don't work we consider a freeze-dried or frozen raw diet (which I expected) - they carry both. They also had some fun looking collars, nice beds, and toys. It was a little pricey, but worth it I think. The shop was small and crammed packed with lots of cool stuff, so I could see it being hard to bring our dog in since he's big and gets excited with other people/animals. If you have a smaller dog or one who's calmer, no worries.
As a side note, they do seem to advocate eastern medicine to complement our typical vet care. I'm personally fine with that, but I suppose it could put some people off. She wasn't pushy at all and was super nice and offered to give us some recommendations if we needed them after we get his eating back on track! So if you're not in to that, just a heads up. Or if you are looking for that, here's a great place to go.
