Julie Cantonwine
Founding Partner Healthy Pets Northwest, Inc

Julie established herself as a leader in the Portland holistic pet care and nutrition community with the founding of Healthy Pets Northwest. She built the company around a belief of providing researched-based, natural options for animal companions. Today, Julie remains at the forefront of natural pet care by listening to customers, attending conferences, studying journals, reviewing research, and collaborating with other professionals in the field. Her broad network of professionals includes holistic veterinarians, product representatives, alternative medical practitioners, and animal trainers.

Julie is the proud caregiver of two fine dogs, Brodie and Caesar, who enthusiastically test the durability of toys and taste of foods offered at Healthy Pets Northwest. Oh, and her cat, Olive, enjoys organic cat food and an occasional clam treat, too.

Laura Amiton
Owner Healthy Pets Northwest Alberta

A Portland native, Laura draws from her experiences to help educate pet owners about natural foods and remedies available at Healthy Pets Northwest. Health seminars and animal adoption events are part of Laura’s involvement in community outreach. It is important to Laura that Healthy Pets Northwest has a relationship deeper than retail sales with their customers.

Laura is dedicated to healthy, natural living for her own pets, too. Her two cats, Mia and Tiegan, are avid raw diet eaters and have tested most of the supplements, treats, foods, litters and toys that the store carries. Feel free to ask what are their favorites! Laura’s answer will always be straight from the heart.

Michael and Barb came from Salt Lake City with their best-buddy Mollie the Basset Hound to join Healthy Pets Northwest. Michael brings more than 20 years of experience in the Health and Physical Medicine field to the company. "Michael loves research and knowing the facts and details about products, companies and health-promoting options for pets and people," explains Barb about her husband. Barb comes from a technical support background in the computer industry. She brings a deep affection for people and animals of all kinds to the business, including the wild birds that flock to their home.
