We are ready for the new food!

12/03/2024

As promised Paw Family, it's official, Wellness dog food is making it's entrance into the shop based on the feedback we got from you! The shelves have been purchased and initial stocking orders are going in! Give us roughly 2 weeks.

Native Pets entire supplement line is set to be delivered mid December as well.

The order for Fromms stew cans will go in on Thursday and be here next week.

And cat grass will be here on Wednesday

Please continue to give us feedback and requests so that we can continue offering what you want!

What is currently on hold until we get more feedback (but we can special order for you at anytime) is Nulo, Nutrisource, Natural Balance, and Open Farm

ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!!
Santa Clawz is coming back from his extended vacation and will be visiting Anna tx December 14th. We have kindly asked him to make a stop here at Paw of the Family at 11am to visit the good dogs and cats of our town. This is a particularly special sighting as we may witness Santa still in his Summer bod. He has agreed to donate all proceeds back to the kitty cats of Texas through Animal Rescue Crusaders of Texas.

Hey Paw Family,

Unfortunately Penny Paws mobile shot clinic has decided to no longer service this area. They cited low turn out the past two times they were here, even though it was cold and raining. We sincerely apologize to our customers and community. We will strive to find a more reliable clinic.

Hey Paw Family!

Another long winded post from Ryan (eyeroll). I have compiled the feedback we asked for a week ago, Thank you ALL so so so so much for taking the time to let us know what you want. I want to share with everyone the results in the interest of openness and clarity to all of our wonderful customers and neighbors. Also please consider giving us specifics on food flavors and treat flavors in the comments:

Top ask by far and WILL be coming into the shop:
1. Wellness dog food and treats (please give us recommendations on specific flavors you want!)
2. Native Pet supplement line
3. Fromm Stew canned dog food
4. Cat Grass kit

What was requested and we already carry:
1. Horse pine pellets
2. Honest Kitchen (although limited, we need specifics on what else folks want us to bring in, please comment below!)

What we received very limited feedback on and could use more feedback if this needs to come into the shop:
1.Whimzees
2.Fish food (we carry already but perhaps a different brand?)
3. Solid Gold dog food
4. Open Farm (if so, what specifically?)
5. Nulo (what specifically?)
6. Natural Balance (what specifically?)
7. Nutrisource (what specifically? Also Nulo or Nutrisource, we can't do both very large lines, we don't have the room lol)

Finally in the interest of openness, things we received feedback on that we will not carry:
1. Purina
2. Science Diet
3. Royal Canin
4. Biljac
5. Acana/Orijen (we did before they got bought out and recipes were changed)
6. Prescription dog foods (we carry square pet which are direct equivalents and don't require a prescription that jacks up the price)
7. Hi Point
8. Victor (we did before until they had their major recall after they were bought out to a private equity firm that compromised quality)
9. 4Health - Tractor supply only (Diamond Naturals and Wellness will be similar alternatives)

I hesitated posting the above but I need folks to know they were heard, considered, and not ignored. We started this business to provide you with wonderful and quality products and I can't compromise those values. The store is our baby and we will always do our absolute best for our customers.

Thank you everyone!
Ryan - the nerd

Hey Paw Family!

Time for more feedback from our neighbors! We want to grow and keep moving forward. We are never too proud to say we need your help. We don't have a research team and a marketing team or any of that. We have a nerd sitting at a computer who is good at compiling customer feedback. So we have a question for you.

What are you still driving to Mckinney or Sherman for that we don't carry?
Is there a specific brand you like?
What do we need to bring in?
We are looking at brands right now to grow to like Wellness, Canidae, Nutrisource, Tiki, and Open Farm. Is there one you want us to look at?
Is there a category we aren't thinking of?

We need your feedback, we want to be your store, how can we save that drive for you and your furbabies?

Best Regards,
Ryan Meeks - the nerd
