Protein for Pets

Great selection and awesome customer service!

Love this place! Great people, great service and outstanding selection of high-quality pet foods. Do your pets a huge favor and shop here.

Alabama, which is the name of a cat who lives at the same house as I do, has an easily upset stomach. At his urging I set out to explore the offerings of pet food shops in my area. This is because he really does not appreciate the fare provided by the local corporate groceries. His pallette, he would insist if he could talk, is much too refined for Big Brand Name Cat Kibble.

Protein for Pets (P4P) is the closest-to-home non-grocery, non-big-box-pet-food-store that I could find. Proximity was serendipity because it turns out I quite like this place. Even though it is in a shopping center, it feels very "Mom & Pop", and that is always a plus in my reckoning.

The parking is safe and very close. The shopping center is clean and it has many other nice shops to check out, including Rosine's for dinner and Baskins for desert.

Upon entering the shop I was greeted by a friendly but not pushy "pet food provider" (PFP) who engaged me in a quick convo about my pets and the reason for my visit. She recommended some canned foods and asked if I had tried their P4P brand of kitty kibble, called Naked Cat. I hadn't, and neither had my cats. She then gave me a bag of salmon-flavor and then a second bag (chicken).

For free.

This shop is more interested in giving the customer a good shopping experience rather than they are in squeezing all of my dimes out of me. They do a good job of sounding genuinely concerned about your furry fellows, too. This is a business and they are here to make money, sure, but I sure do like it better when they do it by giving me free stuff and by listening to me while I talk about my pets.

It turns out that this is not in fact a Mom & Pop shop, it is one of 12 (so far) stores in the chain. But they come really close to making you feel like it is. In fact, on subsequent visits they always remember my name.

Protein for Pets has a huge selection of quality foods to meet each pet's needs- from allergy issues to simply ensuring optimal health. The staff is very knowledgeable about the products, and does their best to help each customer's needs be met and to give them a great experience every time they come into the store. They also offer the best prices on products, and with price matching and special orders too, it really can't be beat. My animals all love Protein for Pets, and are happier and healthier thanks to the products they carry.
