More the 20 Years Focused on Natural Pet Nutrition and Health
Thank you for visiting Healthy Pets Northwest, the natural alternative for pet foods and supplies. Healthy Pets Northwest is a group of locally owned and operated pet supply stores in Portland, Oregon. Our first store, opened by Julie Cantonwine in 2000, was one of the first pet supply stores in the area to focus on natural foods, supplements and products.
Today, the Healthy Pets Northwest has two Portland locations. We are proud of the positive impact Healthy Pets Northwest has had on awareness of healthier options for pet nutrition and for the many loyal customers we serve.
The Family Behind Healthy Pets Northwest
Barb Cantonwine and Michael Carroll
Barb and Michael joined Healthy Pets Northwest in 2007 to open the Multnomah Village store. Since joining the company, they have helped direct HPNW through many growing pains and changes. Throughout their time with Healthy Pets Northwest, their love of animals, focus on providing the best in natural foods and products, and dedication to customer service has not changed.
After loosing Meadow, their incredible English Shepherd mix, Barb and Michael now have a new rescued pup. Sienna is about two years old. She came to them through the Oregon Dog Rescue. Sienna is shy, but getting braver and more confident every day. She is delighted with her new diet that includes raw food from Northwest Naturals, Primal, Small Batch and Stella & Chewy’s. She also likes to supplement her raw diet with lightly cooked meals from Open Farm and My Perfect Pet. She is a voracious chewer and especially loves raw marrow bones, bully sticks and No Hide chews.
