Corner Pet is literally the corner of a new retail complex. I drove a distance to visit this place and spent more than an hour talking with Tommy and Sheryl (owner). This is the best independent retail store I’ve visited to date. Not a place for amateurs. If you know the difference between good & bad dog food, this is worth a special trip.

Corner Pet carries many brand names in natural, holistic dog foods (Canidae, First Mate, Grandma Lucy's, Happy Dog,  Now!, Nature’s Variety, Orijen, Premium Edge, Sojos, Taste of the Wild, The Honest Kitchen, Wellness, Ziwi Peak). They host classes on canine massage, T-Touch, healthy pet food and home cooking. Recently, holistic veterinary services were added their repertoire. Corner Pet partners with Meridian Veterinary Care to make it easy for customers with scheduled appointments to see a licensed veterinarian at the store! It is truly a one-stop place that I'm gonna have to try: buy food, get a bath & see the vet!

Tommy was very helpful, knowledgeable about ingredients, brands, manufacturers and their different  processes.  He suggested food options (dry and raw) to include in my rotation. I even received free samples of Stella & Chewy's raw patties (duck & chicken).

Sheryl talked about her business philosophy, supplements and herbs. I asked her about natural alternatives to buffered dog aspirin for occasional flare-ups to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. She recommended two options: a liquid herbal nutraceutical “Pet Pain Formula” by Amber Technology and a chinese herbal tablet “Comfort Aches” by Herbsmith. After reading each product’s specifications, I selected the liquid for immediate, short-term use and I recognized one of the herbal ingredients, valerian root, as a natural sedative. It also contained additional herbs to soothe the digestive tract. I purchased a couple of items:

• 7 lb. bag Great Life (dry, grain-free, potato-free chicken formula) @ $25.97
• 1 oz. bottle Amber Technology Pet Pain Formula @ $30.76

Lucas sniffs out the new stuff

Bottom line: While prices are marked up quite a bit and there are no price tags on their stuff, Corner Pet is a go-to place for unique and hard to find items. What caught my eye? Products by Solid Gold, Wysong and Bach Flower Remedy. Staff knows their stuff and they cater to a specific clientele - the well-informed, enlightened.  Sheryl said a revamped website and fall class schedule will be up soon. I emailed Corner Pet to say Thank you and they replied with a 20% coupon for my next visit!
