IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ON COVID-19: *We will be updating you frequently on any closures or store hour changes! Please check back here or on our Instagram .company!

We wanted to personally reach out to you and provide an update on the actions Your Healthy Pet & Oliver & Company are taking to protect the health and safety of our customers, employees, and neighbors.
We believe the best approach is to follow the guidance and advice of the medical experts so we are following the CDC guidelines for preventing the spread of viruses. We will provide hand sanitizer in the store for our customers and we will step up our frequency of cleaning and disinfecting our merchandising areas, paying special attention to high contact surfaces like freezer/refrigerators, counters, restrooms, door handles, and payment terminals. Employees will increase the frequency of their hand washing throughout the shift, and any employees experiencing flu-like symptoms will not be permitted to work.
Let us take this moment to thank you for your patronage and for choosing to purchase products from our store. We know that you have a lot of choices of where to spend those dollars, and we do not take it lightly that you have chosen us. You have our word that we will continue to work hard and do our best to earn your trust and your business by providing you with the best products available with an outstanding shop-local neighborhood environment.

"The FDA Warning Letter stated (bold added for emphasis): “The inspections and the investigation confirmed that animal food products with unsafe levels of vitamin D were manufactured and marketed by your firm. You determined the unsafe levels of vitamin D were the result of an ingredient that you received and accepted in a manner not in accordance with your receiving procedures, and that was subsequently incorporated in the animal food products.” In other words, Hill’s appears to have admitted to FDA they did NOT follow their own safety procedures for incoming ingredients.

And then the FDA blasted Hill’s with (bold added) “However, the vitamin premix was not analyzed and subsequently reviewed to ensure that the vitamin D added to final products from the premix would meet your firm’s pre-set formulation. Your ingredient specification for the vitamin premix included a target specification for vitamin D and states that the “Supplier must include Certificate of Analysis (b)(4),” but your firm did not obtain Certificates of Analysis (COA) upon receipt (b)(4) of vitamin premix from your supplier. Your firm also failed to test, evaluate against your specification, and subsequently reject the vitamin premix containing excess vitamin D, as required by your food safety plan.”

“As a result of your failure to consistently implement your pre-requisite program, a systematic failure of your food safety plan occurred that resulted in the recall of canned dog food as identified above.”

FDA told Hill's they failed to follow their own safety procedures...legally required safety procedures.
