Leslie Mckay, owner of Green Pet Supply, says, “We have high-quality, all-natural foods and eco-friendly supplies for dogs, cats, small animals and chickens. Her inspiration was fueled by a dog that was allergic to most “big box” foods and needed higher-quality ingredients for his skin and stomach. “I learned that there were a few independent pet supply stores that could meet his needs. There was a void of such stores in my area of Oak Cliff,  and we decided to rectify that situation.” All of their foods contain no corn, wheat or soy, which means the food contains real, human-grade ingredients.”

Mckay explains, “Our challenge in the pet supply business is that the margins are small for food. We don't enjoy the same margins that other retailers have. This means that we have to welcome and educate new customers as to why better food is important to your pet’s overall health and wellness. We try to position our shop as a resource for the community, where you can come and ask any questions you may have on nutrition and the general health of your animal. We are not a vet, but many vet visits can be eliminated by understanding what is going on with your pet’s skin or tummy and resolving them with some of our products. There are no dumb questions at our shop!”
