The Holistic Houndry

I love this place! Anne is always so kind and helpful. She is extremely knowledgable on every single product that she carries and is quick to help with recommendations and advice. Not to mention she is also very generous with allowing you to try samples of food to make sure your pets like them before purchasing a big bag and she always reminds me to bring a coupon when I come in to get food. She also has a frequent buyers program where you can earn free bags of food after so many purchases. We purchase all our pets food here and can’t recommend the holistic boundary enough!

Yikes! Pretentious. Judgmental. Smug. If you like dealing with someone like this, by all means, go here! Stopped in to browse, and upon hearing what dog food we use (not a grocery store brand, btw), were told it was «horrible, horrible food». When we asked why, all she was able to offer was a weak «fact» about one ingredient in the food which is unproven. I would have been more than happy to listen to her «expertise,» had she not been so condescending.
She then proceeded to tell us we shouldn’t be feeding dry food, while she sits in a store surrounded by… dry food. Good luck with that business model! Not sure that this woman has any credentials other than her ability to do a Google search, but I think I’ll stick with taking advice from my HOLISTIC vet, who has assured me that the food I use is perfectly fine.
Pro tip: If you want to get/​keep new customers… try a different approach.

IS SO ANGRY SHE COULD SPIT NAILS!!! Ran out of V-​dog
kibble and stopped (for the first time) at The Holistic Houndry in Harmony, Pennsylvania​. Several of the top dog food companies make vegetarian/​vegan dog food and I thought there was a good possibility that I could get a small bag of interim kibble there. A woman (who I believe is the owner) asked what I was looking for and I asked her if she carried any. She asked me if my dogs have some kind of allergy. I said, No, I am an ethical vegan, my dogs are healthy and we don’t participate in violence against animals. The next thing out of her mouth was… READY… GUESS… BUT WHERE DO THEY GET THEIR PROTEIN? From the same fucking place I do, plants, first generation protein. She then began to argue with me, with EXACTLY the same arguments all people do when they are trying to defend eating animals, e.g. Dogs NEED meat… their bodies are designed to eat animal protein, etc. etc… I told her she was highly misinformed. That dogs are omnivores and don’t NEED meat, unlike cats who DO. She continued to argue with me. I turned around and walked out! Even aside from the ethical argument, what happened to «The customer is always right?» OMFG!!! I need a shirt that says «Don’t ask me where I, OR MY DOGS, get our protein! So my babies got the remaining V-​dog kibble, mixed with Amy’s lentil soup for dinner. Lots of protein and they LOVED it!!! ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH! I need to write some scathing review

Great selection, helpful staff. Prices are comparable to larger stores. Love that they remember information about their customer’s pets and preferences.
