Healthy Animal

Seriously, nobody acknowledged us the whole time we were in there. I had to ask them questions 5 mins after we were there. Its just rude. The adult behind the counter has he personality of a mop. A very wet mop!!!
We went into the bike store a few doors down and we were acknowledged right away and we said we were all set. A few mins later looking at a bike someone else offered us help. Thats customer service.
Needless to say we bought nothing at the healthy animal because i wanted some recommendations on cat food. No customer service equals no sale!

I can’t say enough great things about this place!
I’ve been coming here for a few years now, and always buy my cat food here. Everybody is super nice, friendly and helpful, and knowledgeable about pet nutrition. My cats eat a lot, so buy the food a couple cases at a time, so now they order me my cases ahead of time and even call me when it comes in so I can pick it up…
And they always have cute kitties and doggies in there for my daughter to pet.

I just moved to the area and I am beyond thrilled to have found this place.
I am a crazy cat lady who is passionate about feeding high-​quality food to my rescue kitties. I’ve seen first hand the difference that all natural and raw food can make. Everyone comments on how soft my kitties’ fur is, and how much energy they have. I believe that spending a little extra money on the good stuff will keep your pet happy and healthy, and will actually save you money in vet visits!
Coming from the Cambridge area, I was expecting to drive long distances to find the brands I feed, but I accidentally stumbled on The Healthy Animal, which is five minutes from my new house! I was like a kid in a candy store when I walked in. Not only that, but the people who work there are so nice and helpful! I got a free sample of some raw food, and a case of my usual grain-​free stuff for a killer price.
Thanks for existing! I can’t wait to be a regular here.

I really like and support the concept of this store. I’m all about holistic things for both myself and my pets.
The reason I only give 3 stars is the lack of selection with the dry dog food. I know they’re willing to order items for you, but I wish they stocked the store with more variety. I feed my gang Evanger’s and while the HA has the canned food, they don’t carry the kibble in store which is very inconvenient if you run out and need more within a day or two.
The store is extremely clean and nicely set up. They have a small selection of toys, some cute collars and natural chew treats. Diane is a sweetheart and very easy to talk to and knowledgable. Would be 5 stars hands down if there was more kibble in store.
EDIT: bumping HA up to five stars. After getting treated so rudely at another store I’ve been going to for years, this place not having as big of a selection is made up for in the customer service department. I recently switched my pet over to a different diet and the healthy animal just happens to carry exactly what I need. They’re so so nice here and if they ever don’t have a certain flavor they’ll order it no issues. They don’t pressure you into anything and I totally appreciate that.

A top notch place for Holistic Health for you most valued animal! Non only are Diane and staff extremely knowledgable with regard to nutrition and care of dogs and other animals, they also have great networks of practitioners they can refer to.
I have always received personalized attention from all the friendly employees here.
This is definitely the go-​to place for Holistic Pet needs on the South Shore — highly recommended!

My parents sent me here one day to pick up some food for their dog, who i always accuse of being spoiled.
The pet food is all natural and organic, and they have a great selection of dog treats/​toys too. The owners are super nice, and totally willing to answer any and all questions.
I agree with Roni– stop feeding your pets garbage and check this place out– your pet will thank you!

If you love your cats and dogs as much as we do, stop feeding them the garbage sold at the supermarket, Petco, or Petsmart, and head down to this shop on Route 53 for the best selection of all natural and organic foods and pet care products available. Owner Diane Dewberry and her staff are both interested and knowledgeable about your pets’ needs, and readily dispense samples of something to try on them before buying. We’ve been shopping here for our three cats and one dog for the past three years and love the selection and personal attention whenever we stop in.
