Dogs By Design, Holistic Wellness & Nutrition Center — Local services in Irwin

I'm always looking for an independent, local pet store that sells quality, healthy, and a full line of different foods. Beings that I don't feed my dog the same brand or type (protein, dry, canned, etc.), it's important that I have a variety of places to purchase food from.

I was in sort of a ":rut" of places to shop. I needed to broaden my horizons and enter another local, independent retailer into my portfolio.

Doing a Google search, I came across Dogs By Design. So, one day I hopped into my car and drove from my home in Plum to Irwin to Dogs By Design.

Entering the store, initially I was mildly disappointed because of its small size. I also thought at first that my trip was wasted.

But, after looking around, I recognized that in reality almost everything a dog owner would need is being offered for sale. What I also recognized is that all the "fluff", or unnecessary stuff was not offered. It was obvious to me that their goal is to have stuff that is relevant and worthy of pet owners.

They have a great selection of foods of all types: high quality dry, canned, frozen, and raw. They also have high quality treats, toys, health aids, and more.

This store is not for those that shop at "big box" national stores. But, it is a store for those that are aware of their dogs overall health and well being and want the support of products to reflect that.

The prices are what I expected to pay; not overly priced, but, not so inexpensive either. They are fairly priced.

Very clean, organized store. The saleswoman was extremely helpful and offered appropriate, helpful, and effective assistance. It was very obvious she knows her products and understands the store's objective-health and wellness for dogs.

I will continue shopping at other local independent retailers on a rotational basis, but, I'm very happy to include Dogs By Design into...

I have known Beth (store owner/groomer) for over 5 years, not did I work for her a short period of time, but she has become a great resource with all of my pets needs! Anytime I come into the store to stock up on pet food, she is always SUPER accommodating and makes my shopping experience so streamline. She now has two locations to purchase premium pet food, treats, and other needs and she is the only one in the area that carries the brands that I speak so highly of!

On the grooming side of the world, she uses top of the line products and gives the ultimate spa experience to my spoiled kitty! When Roxy, gets back from the “spa” she looks like a new girl and she feels like one too!

I highly recommend Beth for a groomer or someone get nutrition advice from. She has so much experience and is super knowledgeable! Thank you for being such an amazing business...
