Red Bandanna Pet Food

Feeding Red Bandanna brand food to my dachshunds for over a year!
About 5 – 6 years ago, I switched my dachshunds to holistic food for weight and skin reasons and haven’t looked back since.
So when the hubby and I relocated to Atlanta, I took to Unilocal in search of a holistic pet food store. I am pleased I found Red Bandanna, and have been very pleased with how my dogs have been doing after being on their Trout and Potato dry food for so long. I have even fed two chihuahua-​mix foster pups this food and noticed improvements in their skin and coats after about a month.
I also love that the food is made locally, and that they carry several other products and brands that I trust for my fur-​babies.
During every visit to the store I have been met with friendly and knowledgeable sales associates that love to ask questions and offer advice!
Thanks Red Bandanna!

This is mostly a review of the store on Roswell Road 30 342, which I can’t seem to find here on Unilocal… but I like the smaller pet shops that carry premium hard to find pet food, and this is one of the better ones. Great employees too.

Very helpful at explaining how to find the perfect food for your pet. Brooks really knows his stuff and goes out of his way to help you locate what you are looking for. I think I asked him a bazillion questions and he had about that many answers for me.
My dog loved the smoke house bully bone. Great recommendation. Thanks!

This is where we go to get Bella’s food because it’s the closest place to home I’ve found that carries her brand (Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul — mock me at will). They also have other natural brands like Enova. They have lots of food for dogs and cats, an assortment of stuffed toys, and natural treats and chews (lots of bones). Parking here is easy — I can usually get a spot close to the door so it’s easy to get the food to my car. They also will carry the food to your car if you can’t manage it. The staff seems knowledgeable and friendly, and they have a discount program where you get 25% off (or something like that) after you purchase a certain number of bags of food (I think you get the discount after six or eight bags). The prices seem reasonable. It’s a pretty no-​frills store but they have exactly what I need and I can get in and out in just a few minutes.

They have an extensive variety of premium pet foods, and the manager, Ryan, is very knowledgeable about nutrition. They keep track of your purchases in their computer system. This comes in handy if you’re rotating flavors. Also, you automatically get $ 10 off a purchase after 10 purchases.
My dog is a picky eater (Sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s true.) Red Bandana offers free samples. When my dog becomes tired of a food, I can take home several new ones to offer her and see what she likes.
They carry my purchases to my car. Be aware their products are rather pricey, but I’ve been shopping there for a decade and my dog is quite healthy and fit. When I purchased a «senior» formulation at a big box store, my dog did not do well. She’s back to adult food from RB. My vet did caution me not to buy unpreserved dry kibble because it can become contaminated with mold and bacteria, and some of the most expensive dog foods can be dangerous. Just check for ascorbic acid or some other preservative on the label.
I’m minus one star because some employees aren’t knowledgeable. The reason to shop at small specialty retailers with higher prices is for service. On the whole, Red Bandana is a very good provider of pet supplies, and the Northside Parkway location has earned my loyalty
