Stores We Love - August 2009


Finding a Niche

Our pet store of the month is PetSage in the lovely city of Alexandria, in norther Virginia. One of my customers since the early days of Juno’s Garden, PetSage provides its customers with advise on diet and holistic healing, as well as the highest quality pet supplies. Owner Terri Grow has extensive experience in using Chinese Medicine and holistic therapies with pets and guides her customers in the search for solutions.

What I love about Terri, is that her approach to living and treating our pets is very similar to mine - traditional vet care and holistic medicine can work hand-in-hand. PetSage receives many of its customers from area Vets and Terri fosters relationships by consulting with clients on food and diet issues. She has even led workshops on holistic care for pets. Her background includes training in Chinese Medicine so she really knows her stuff. Maintaining this balance, knowing what ailments can be treated with homeopathy and what requires traditional medicine, is the key to surviving the health challenges that face our pets daily.

PetSage has a wonderful website and a great BLOG which should be checked regularily. Terri is a great writer and her articles are fabulous resources. Their also sell some of the best natural products in the industry. Check it out: www.petsage.com.
