​​Have you ever looked at the pet food isles in a grocery store and just felt overwhelmed at the choices and wondered which one of these products is the best for my pet’s health and longevity?​​​

​

​​​​​​​​​​​That was us in the summer of 2009. We had a Lab Sheppard mix, Ella, that was continually chewing her paws. The vet told us it was probably an allergic reaction to something outside and told us to give her some allergy medication until the first frost. Well, The first frost came and there was no change. We started doing research and were astounded by what we found. The pet food company we trusted seemed to care more about profits and their shareholders than they did about our suffering Ella! We found out that our Ella had a very common wheat allergy. We changed her to a grain free food and she no longer has any issues. The more we learned about the pet food industry, the more we were disgusted and decided that we needed to tell the world what was happening. In the winter of 2010 we started to put the plans together for Dorchester Pet Care and Supply. Our main stipulation then and now is, "we wouldn't sell anything that we wouldn't give or use on our own pets"!
