Deanna Sharp relocated her holistic pet care shop from R.A. Green Mercantile to Harmony Ridge on the River, near Neighbor's Kitchen and Yard, in late April.

Fur Babies Wholesome Pet Food offers a variety of raw pet food, supplements, homeopathic tinctures and more.

The past

Sharp said she noticed a trend of preventable diseases and disorders in pets throughout her decades in the veterinary medicine field.

"Though I was feeding my [pets] top-of-the-line kibble, canned, and minimally processed foods, they were constantly getting sick," Sharp said. "We were always at the vet hospital for one reason or another."

Sharp said she began researching what she could do to help her pets, and started focusing on the correlation between their food and health.

"I went down a rabbit hole to see what I could do," Sharp said. "It was like a light went off—their food was making them sick."

Sharp said based on what she learned, she switched her pets from kibble to raw food seven years ago, and noticed a significant difference in their health—adding that she no longer "lives at the vet."

The present

Since then, Sharp has completed countless courses, seminars, summits and conferences on raw feeding and pet nutrition, she said.

Sharp opened the doors to Fur Babies Wholesome Pet Food in July 2022, and said she has never looked back.

Now situated in Harmony Ridge on the River, Sharp said she has more space to offer a wider range of products.

What else?

Every product at Fur Babies Wholesome Pet Food is sourced from sustainable, ethical sources, Sharp said.

"All of our food is antibiotic- and hormone-free, non-GMO, grass-fed and either pasture-raised or free-range, from all-natural, USDA-approved meat sources," Sharp said.
