Our Story:

Pets in the City is dedicated to the memory of Amy's late dog "Schelsca ~ Scoobie Doobie"  At the age
of 12, Scoobs  was diagnosed with congestive heart disease, a weak liver and kidneys, and a seizure
disorder.  Amy was told that Schelsca didn't have long to live.  With this said, Amy turned to natural
remedies. Although she had no formal training in pet nutrition, Amy spent hours upon hours researching
natural health care in books, periodicals, and the Internet.  This is where she began to learn and to
respect natural health care for pets, as well as for people.  

As Amy read up on Scoobs' condition, she soon realized that her friend would benefit from a healthier
diet.  This is where Amy's interest in natural pet nutrition sky-rocketed.  Schelsca spent the remaining
years of her life looking like a 5 year old Cocker (as opposed to the teen that she was).  Amy had her on
a strict diet of medicinal herbs, nutritional supplements, homemade diets and natural foods and treats.  




With Schelsca's illness moving the Pizano family to a more holistic approach to pet care, the other
members of the family soon benefited.  The senior Weimaraner, Heidi, was switched to an all-natural diet
and additional vitamins and minerals, and soon after stopped wetting the bed at night (incontinence is a
common occurrence in senior female dogs) and her arthritis pain has subsided.  In addition, the younger
two dogs (Pit Bull Lexi and Collie/Dobie Foster) have been 100% raised on an all-natural diet, along
with the best supplements that Amy can find.  The Pizano's parrot, Guinness; and their cats, Kramer and
Macy, are also on an all-natural diet, and are healthier because of it!

Amy had always wanted to own a pet-related business, but her new-found respect of natural health care
for pets has made it a necessity of love to open a store rooted in community education of natural health
care!  
Blessed is the person
who has earned the love
of an old dog."

SUPER CARTER & HIS WONDER DOG
"It came to me that every time I
lose a dog they take a piece of
my heart with them. And every
new dog who comes into my life
gifts me with a piece of their
heart. If I live long enough all
the components of my heart will
be dog and I will become as
generous and loving as they are."
