Subject: Intro: The Natural Pet Health Store
Hi Folks,
Thank you Gene for allowing everyone to introduce themselves to the new members of the Chatlist:)
My name is Tammy Starkey and I own/run The Natural Pet Health Store located at 10536 Hwy 902, Bear Creek 919-837-0020 My husband and I have lived in Chatham County for almost 16 years and we consider this our home…we have met some awesome folks that we warmly call friends and family. Many of my customers have been with me since day one and I thank them for their friendship and loyalty throughout the years.
How many folks can honesty say that they LOVE the job that they do?? Not many, I’m sure. But, I can quite honesty and happily say it…with glee! I have been in business for almost 3 1/2 years and have never looked back…though, I admit…SOME of the things…namely paperwork…I could do without. ….but, oh well.
My husband Rob and I have 13 critters of our own…4 dogs and 9 cat’s..though, one of the 9 cat’s lives at my store:) So, everything that I carry in my store has been tested by my brood, so I can honesty tell you who liked or disliked what.
I carry ONLY products that I feel 100% comfortable giving to my own animal’s…if I don’t feel that it is the best natural product for my own pet’s….it WILL NOT come into my store. Why would I NOT feed it to my pet’s…but, think it was perfectly fine to feed to your’s? I research every product before it comes thru my door. I carry only natural products….dry, canned, freeze-dried, raw foods, many treats, toys, leashes, herbal remedies, litters, holistic books, local artist Jan Gibson greeting cards, Whole Dog Journal Magazines….name it and I may carry it.
I also feel very strongly about giving back to our community (whether a large or small company)….that is why, I have multiple fundraisers throughout the year for local animal rescue…..most if not all the proceeds from these benefits go directly to our local animal friend’s.
I also have a wonderfully large fenced play yard where we hold pet adoptions, fundraisers, demonstrations, classes, Halloween-Easter parties, as well as having Santa Photos…..Every human and animal have a great time!
Hope to meet you soon
