NUTRITION FOR YOUR PETS

Not only do they focus on the health of humans around them, Route of Healthy Living also wants your dogs to be eating and snacking with the best by supporting our small business. We couldn't agree more with their view on single ingredient treats. Ā ā€œWe want you to read the ingredient label of your furbabyā€™s treats. How many ingredients are on there? When looking for the tastiest and healthiest treat options for your companion, you want to look for treats that contain only ONE ingredient and for the ULTIMATE taste experience that one ingredient should be a high protein source.ā€

Small businesses grow while building relationships with their customers and other small businesses in their community. When you choose to shop locally this holiday season, you are not just making a transaction; you are investing in a relationship. Owners, employees, and staff members feel a sense of community when you purchase from them. These small businesses are more likely to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction, fostering a strong bond that goes beyond a simple buyer-seller relationship. Shopping at these establishments is not just a transaction; it's an investment in building a vibrant and connected community.
