Dog & Cat


Dog and Cat Quick Nutrition Facts

  1. Dogs omnivores and Cats are carnivores but both should be fed a diet that contains mostly named (chicken, beef, turkey, etc.) meat and meat meals.  Meat meals are the meat with the water cooked out of them.
  2. Try to avoid dog and cat foods that contain By-product meals.  By-products are what is left after the good parts have been taken.
  3. Many dogs and cats are walking around dehydrated.  Please keep fresh water available at all times.  Canned food or frozen raw diets can be a great way to add moisture to a pet’s diet.
  4. Grains are put into pet foods to lower the price.  Many dogs and cats develop food allergies to these grains.  Pets usually aren’t allergic to grains, but the way grains are stored.  Mold spores can grow on binned food, and this is usually what causes allergies.  Grain-free foods are available and recommended.
  5. Dogs sometimes develop ear infections and lick their paws a lot. Both can result from excess yeast in their systems.  Yeast growth can be increased by the amount of sugars a dog consumes.  By eliminating grains in your pet’s food you can lower the sugar that they consume.
  6. If your dog or cat develops a food allergy you may need to turn to a Limited Ingredient Diets.  These diets usually contain a single source protein and only one or two carbohydrates.  This enables the pet owner to narrow down the possibilities of the allergy.
  7. Buckles Feed Depot carries a wide variety of quality pet foods.  We carry many Grain-Free choices, several Limited Ingredient Diets, and diets that are Low Glycemic for diabetic pets, and pets that are prone to ear infections.

I adore this place and refuse to go anywhere else. I shopped multiple chains and franchises in years past so I can confidently say the prices are reasonable and competitive. We checked this place out when we got our pup a few months ago because we wanted to start shopping local. The staff were immensely helpful, the self service washing station is free with great products, and nail trims are only $5! The products in store speak to how much they care about the well-being of animals. I’ve never bought an animal or anything besides specifically dog stuff here so I can’t speak for that, but I seriously could not recommend this place enough as a dog mom!

Support locally owned business. Easily the best pet store I've frequented. Several times I've needed something for my pet that they don't carry and they've not only ordered it for me but it is now part of their stock.

I have mixed feelings about this place just because I visit so often. First off is their pet food is amazingly priced. Way better than the name brand stores. They have a wife variety of animals and have some rescues sometimes. So if you are looking for a pet rat I would check and see if they have any rescues you can take home. They have a rewards system for every 5 bags of food your 6th one is free. They have stuff for cats dogs, amphibians, reptiles, and arachnids. But also for birds, rodents, and a few other interesting animals. The only problem that I have ever really had is 1 the smell of the room where they keep all the feeder rats and the rescues. But I know they clean it regularly. And one time I got a rat from there and they said it was a boy. Without checking I got all the way home and found out it was a girl and had to come back and exchange it.
