The Warm Springs Petco will open on May 25th and it has some features different from their other stores.

Warm Springs has the largest and best stocked natural foods section in town. If you are searching for a natural, holistic or organic food for your dog or cat, this is the one-stop shopping you’ve been looking for.

Do you know the difference between natural, holistic or certified organic foods?

• Natural pet foods are free of artificial ingredients and chemicals
• Holistic pt foods address the whole health of your pet and contain ingredients such as flaxseed, cranberries, blueberries ad pro-biotics
• Organic pet foods must have 70% organic ingredients and 95% to get the Certified Organic seal

If this option isn’t for you, check out their very complete line of Premium Pet Foods. Why pay for Premium when there are so many lesser-priced foods out on the market?

For one your pet is very important to you and totally dependent upon you for their health and care.

Premium foods offer the best balance of proteins and nutrients without by-products, or fillers, and offer formulas for the specific breed, size and life stage of your pet. A good pet food will help your dog’s digestive system to produce better formed stool and eliminate that nasty condition of eating one’s poop (coprophagia.)

Petco store Associates are all well versed on the various brands the store sells and the nutrition needs of your dog, cat, puppy, kitten and small companion animals, such as gerbils and ferrets. You won’t be standing lost in the food aisle for long before an Associate comes over to help you decipher the myriad of choices on the market today.

The Warm Springs Petco also offers grooming, dog training services and adoption days. So when you bring home your new pet, you won’t have to go far to find all the supplies you need, information on how to best care for your pet and the services that are essential to your pet’s health and well being.

As I wrote previously, the first step to a well-mannered dog is proper education and training and the classes at Petco are superbly run. And if group classes are not for you, private sessions are always available.

For the opening weekend, Petco Warm Springs is hosting fun-filled days of activity and education for you and your pet. Please check out the events scheduled for Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31 at http://www.petco.com/assets/go/1177.pdf

I will be there with Coco the Love Dog on Saturday afternoon and at 2:00 pm on Sunday we will be giving a free seminar on potty training. Please stop by, check out the wide variety of pet essentials and some not-so-essential treats for your pet!
