The Whole Dog Market — Local services in Homewood

I went into this store and the lady SEEMED so knowledgeable about natural dog food and what’s “best” for them. She highly recommended answers goat milk. Said that’s it’s THE BEST things for dogs. Constantly reassured me that it would help with my dogs shedding, energy, digestion, the whole 9. Well it gave my dog diarrhea and vomiting and she’s been sick for the past 5 days. I took the food back after the vet recommended I stop giving it to her immediately due to her reaction. Well both of the ladies that work in there said it was crazy that the vet recommended that I stop feeding it to her and vets know NOTHING about nutrition. I said In supposed to keep feeding her this EVEN THOUGH SHE IS CLEARLY SICK. She told me yes, her body is probably detoxing “all of the bad food” I’ve been giving her. My dog was very healthy prior to this. Never had any issues with food or anything. I took my dog to the ER Saturday night because she was still sick and there was blood in her stool. I told the lady at the dog store. And she says it’s probably something else because there’s just no way it can be the goat milk because it’s “so good for so many dogs.” Well here we are and my dog is now being hospitalized because of this goat milk. DO NOT buy answers pet food goat milk from here!!!!!! She was so adamant about the fact that veterinarians know nothing about nutrition. Meanwhile her advice landed my dog in...

I just adopted a new puppy. Since it's been forever and a day since I've had a pet, I wasn't familiar with the newest pet stores and what they have to offer. Along comes Yelp to the rescue! That's how I found this quaint little pet store in Homewood. The store is neatly organized and stocked with healthy, all/mostly natural food, treats and grooming products for your pet. It's like a mini Whole Foods, just for your pet! #winning

My furry diva, Roxie, and I were interested in the self-wash station. The two ladies who were working were super helpful and friendly. They gave me great tips to help my new puppy adjust to her new home, and gave her treats before and after her bath. They even gave us two little packets of treats to take with us!

A cool perk to my experience was when I checked out their FB page. I saw that they give back to various animal-related groups and charities in the community. They often sponsor events at the store or in conjunction with other organizations. A company that gives to others will always get my business.

5 stars for superb customer service, high quality products, community service and the self-washing station. Roxie and I will definitely...

We have two dogs: one aging and another that’s 3 years old. So they have two really different set of needs. The staff at the Whole Dog Market have been so knowledgeable and considerate about how best to take care of both of our dog’s needs. We love taking our dogs there and know that they are healthier because of it. It also helps to know the owner is a local resident who has always gone above and beyond for us whenever we had questions. Their hours are really convenient and we love the...
