Kriser’s: Feeding Your Pet for Life. Go. Stay. Very good!

I admit it:  I love this store!  The management is knowledgable, helpful and engaging.

The company’s website indicates that Kriser’s “sells only the highest-quality, all-natural, pet-safe foods and products… all made by industry top standards, free of chemicals, additives and preservatives.”

You’ll find food brands including Eagle Pack, California Natural, Canidae, Wellness and Innova. My own little furry one gobbled up the canned version of Fromm’s Senior Blend — chunks o’ chicken mixed with carrots and peas in a savory gravy.  Yum!

I love that they offer small sample paks of food.  It’s a great, low-hassle way to see if the food is right for your pet.  The store does ask that you limit your sampling to two paks per visit.

Kriser’s also has a colorful assortment of fun toys in all price ranges for cats as well as dogs.  Beds, carriers, cleaning supplies, bags and fashionable harness/leash sets round out the inventory.

Kriser’s offers grooming services for cats and dogs using only hypoallergenic shampoos.  Grooming hours are 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday.  If you need a Friday or Saturday appointment, they ask that you book one week in advance.

My local Kriser’s is in the South Loop.  Bonus:  there’s short-term parking available right outside the front entrance!
