Bone-A-Patreat

Support your locally owned pet store. John Sayles designed a great logo for Bone-​A-​Patreat years ago — it’s bright and fun very fitting for the demeanor of the owner which I interacted with. Bone-​A-​Patreat carries Canidae dog food which my spoiled brat eats every day. They also cater to feline lovers with foods and toys. I also picked up some degradable poop bags. This will be the ONLY place I buy pet supplies in Des Moines.

This specialty store has everything you could need for your pets. The owner, April, has frequently guided me toward a product to try and I have always come back to thank her.
Two weeks ago I stopped in to obtain dry cat food and was surprised to find it missing from the shelf. One of the employees explained there had been a recall and as a safety precaution all grocery stores and their store had removed the product. They had another option I could try while things were being reviewed by the company. I made my purchase and was leaving when April asked if I had everything I needed. I told her my concerns about the recall and also in trying the new food I just bought and she asked me to wait while she went to the back of the store. She handed me a bag of a different brand and told me to use that first, since it was so close in ingredients with what they had been on. She wouldnt let me pay for it. She also told me that my cats would have shown illness if the package I last bought was a problem. I trust her with my kitties and appreciate her knowledge.
Stop in to check out all the fun toys for pets too. I think my cats know when I am going to the store… because they always seem to be sitting right by the door when I get home. Thanks to Bone-​A-​Patreat my cats are well taken care of every day.

Can’t say enough…
I first found myself at B.A.P when my cat was having health issues and I wanted to look into modifying his diet before ordering the expensive tests and possibly invasive treatments the vet was recommending. April, the owner, was super friendly and helpful, and right-​on with her recommendation– the food they recommended fixed him right up when nothing else had worked. I was sure I could find it cheaper online to save $ but nope, B.A.P actually sells it cheaper than anywhere I could find online. Since then I’ve been back and it’s always a pleasure to talk to the owner and staff who are courteous, helpful and knowledgeable about recommending products when I come in with a problem or question.
