| Our Story: Pets in the City is dedicated to the memory of Amy's late dog Schelsca. At the age of 12, she 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 her time researching natural health care in books, periodicals, and the Internet, as well as attending seminars and taking classes. 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 Schelsca's 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 all-natural 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 subsided. In addition, the younger two dogs (Lexi & 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! |

| "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." ~ Unknown |
