Incredible Pets - a local chain with 4 locations. I’ve shopped the Carmichael and East Sacramento locations; the latter being the newest. It is a complete pet store (dogs, cats, small animals, birds and reptiles) set-up like a grocery store with a check-out line in front. I didn’t speak with an owner or store manager on my recent visits; just the clerks, Kathryn and Vicki. To reward their customers, IP has a coupon game IncrediBucks on their website ($1.00 off next purchase) and loyalty card (receive 10 points for every $1.00 you spend; accumulate 2,500 points to earn $5.00 gift certificate).

IP sells almost every brand of natural, holistic and organic dog and cat food under the sun:

• Canidae
• Wellness
• Solid Gold
• Chicken Soup for the Dog
• Eagle Pack
• Acana
• Merrick
• Natural Planet Organics
• Nature’s Variety
• California Natural
• Innova
• EVO
• Pinnacle
• Natural Balance
• Evangers
• C & P Organix
• Newman’s Own Organics
• Sojos
• Tiki
• Primal
• Premium Edge
• Merrick Before Grain
• Taste Of The Wild
• Orijen
• First Mate

I love that they stock both Sojos and The Honest Kitchen – my two favorite brands of dehydrated raw food mixes in the same store! They also have a section of free dog and cat food samples. Stuff I've purchased in the past:

• 30 lb. bag Taste of the Wild Wetlands Canine @ $42.99
• 13 oz. can Evangers Super Premium Cooked Chicken @ $1.49 each
• 13 oz. can Natural Balance Chicken and Rice @ $1.59 each
• 13 oz. can Natural Balance Beef and Rice @ $1.59 each
• 13 oz. can Natural Balance Liver and Rice @ $1.59 each
• 120 tablet bottle Excel Enteric Coated Aspirin for Dogs @ $8.99
• 4 oz. bag Dogswell Biscuits with Benefits (cranberry & apple) @ $3.49
• 2 lb. bag Sojos Grain-Free (Fruit & Veggies) Dehydrated Raw Food Mix @ $13.99
• 16 oz. bottle Natures Miracle Stain & Odor Removal @ $6.99

Bottom line: The East Sacramento IP location has all my favorites: Acana, Natural Balance, Sojos, The Honest Kitchen and Nature’s Variety. Prices on their dry and wet foods are comparable to another local chain I frequent. I consider IP my main source for raw foods - frozen and dehydrated.  If headed in this direction, I make a point to stop by. Also, IP links page is handy for doing research on companies.

Note: Thanks for reading my customer reviews of independent retail stores especially if you're local. The value [to you] will be apparent later on, I hope. Around the Dog Bowl has a plan so keep visiting!
