Pet Country

My new pup had terrible colitis/ diarrhea from multiple treatments for parasites. I was dealing with 12-14 diarrhea stools per day. He was exhausted all the time &slept the entire weekend. I was scared & worried, since he is a Brittany & had been very very active!! The vet had told me to put the pup on Purina DCO but when I read the ingredients I called Purina to check calorie content & even they said it was not ""nutritionally adequate for a pup"". The protein source was ""animal digest"". YUCK! I live in Aliso Viejo & went to every premium food pet shop I could find for advice without results, then I remembered seeing Pet Country on my Vets web links. As soon as I walked in Katie listened to the entire history of my dog, asked a few questions then suggested Grandma Lucy's freeze dried lamb diet. She also had canned organic pumpkin (canned pumpkin was recalled last august so not a single market had it!!) I followed her instructions & after 2 feedings my pup had formed stool!!! After only 4 days his energy is back & his coat looks awesome. She has ordered some single source protein, no grain dry kibble for my dog to try in a few weeks. Plus I went back the next day & she had plain lamb training meat&a freezed dried lamb trail mix I could use to continue training my puppy. I know one reviewer noted the food is expensive, but if you want human grade quality food for you dog, it is more expensive than Petsmart, but well worth the benefits to your dog. My 2 12yr olds are on Orijen senior now &the color is back in their coats&they have one stool per day!! It's worth every penny to feed your animals no grain hi quality protein food. So why not support a local small business where you will have access to expert advice& someone that truly cares for animals!! I will be forever grateful to Katie for helping my puppy!!! That is priceless!! Pros: Knowledgeable & caring. Go out of their way to help!! more

I currently live in Nevada and was just visiting my sister in south orange county. She told me about this pet store that she shops at and asked me if i wanted to check it out. A man in the store recognized my sister right away and my sister informed the gentleman that she did not think I was feeding the right food to my dog. Apparently he had switched her dogs food and her dog has been doing a lot better health wise since she switched. I told him that I was feeing my dog Science Diet and that my dog itches to the point of bleeding. He informed me that the food was causing my dog to itch! He printed off a few sheets for me to take home and read and told me some of the foods he would reccomend i switch to. Even though i was he knew i was not going to be a customer there, he still helped me out. Now, 5 months later my dog has completely healed! I cannot thank him enough Pros: very knowlegable about pet food Cons: none! more

I resently bought a parrotlet from Pet Country and I could not be happier!! I had been looking for a place to buy one for some time but the birds either seemed extremely nippy or were over priced. (The Zoo wanted $300 for a green!) The people at Pet Country were a great help. I was able to see all of their baby birds while they were still hand feeding them and they let me know the personalities of each. A few weeks later when I went to pick up my bird...she was the sweetest thing! She would sit on my hand and even let me pet her! Pros: Amazing Birds, Great People, Family Owned Cons: A little messy more
