One of the best things about being a local, family-owned pet food market is building relationships within our community! Whether we're sharing nutritional info with you at a 5k charity fundraiser, partnering with a local photographer for pet portraits, or hosting a hard-working rescue to find furever homes for dog and cats, we love connecting with the neighborhoods that support us and allow us to serve you each day with the food and supplies your pets need.

Now you can easily keep up with the exciting, pet-friendly events we have planned at our stores and every place you can find us joining in the fun out in the community by visiting our Events page of our website! You can also reach out if you have an upcoming event or idea you'd like to partner with us on, so don't hesitate to ask! Check out the link below for a list of upcoming and past events 🐶📅

July is , and we're here to remind you that added hydration doesn’t have to be boring! ☀️

Adding wet food, a splash of bone broth or Come-pooch-a to your pet’s meals is a tasty way to boost hydration, especially during these hot summer months. Staying hydrated supports healthy digestion, joints, and overall wellness. So go ahead, mix it up and keep those bowls full and flavorful 🐶🐱

We are so thankful to be able to support amazing organizations like the Humane Society of Catawba County, and we truly couldn’t do it without our incredible customers. 💛

Each week, our The Natural Dog Hickory location sponsors a Cat and Dog of the Week, covering their adoption fees to help them find loving homes. We’re thrilled to share that Sky, our Dog of the Week last week, has officially been adopted after almost a year of waiting! 🐶❤️

HAPPY UPDATE! 🤩🙌

We could not be happier to share that Sky... our who waited almost a year for a home... is ADOPTED! This is the reason our staff and volunteers do what they do - to find each animal in our care their happily ever after.

Look how much love these two have between them 🥰 Congratulations Sky and her new dad (who loves her very much!)

Thank you to The Natural Dog for sponsoring Sky's adoption fee this week!
