About Pet Wants
There’s a false comfort in thinking that, because you bought food from a pet store, it’s good for your pets, but that’s not always true. I’m Will Hammond, the local owner and operator of Pet Wants Dublin, and I opened this company because I tried a number of expensive pet food brands and nothing helped my dog, Rye, with his digestive issues until I found Pet Wants.
After Rye’s amazing experience with Pet Wants, I knew this was what I wanted to do. I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a Pet Wants in every community and every pet should have access to the same nutritious food as my pup does.
At Pet Wants, we are here to discuss the ingredients, the science and the philosophy behind each of our products – it’s just as much about education as it is about helping people find the right products. We also understand that families have budgets and they need pet products that are convenient and affordable. That’s what we do.
Pet Wants Dublin is a mobile small business and we offer free, personal delivery to many communities in and around Columbus and host booths at local events. Rye and I look forward to meeting you!
