Brett Foreman now owns euPAWria, located at 1110 State Rt. 434 in Owego, N.Y.. Originally he was the manager of the store but his love for the animals and the message of the store inspired him to take up ownership. Now you can go to the Johnson Pool’s Plaza, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., or on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and get all kinds of healthy dog and cat food, and pet needs.
euPAWria has been in business for three years. It is a holistic pet food store that focuses on bringing people and their pets the widest variety of healthy food choices imaginable. These range from the dry kibble that most people are familiar with to raw frozen foods and even freeze dried foods. It is a friendly warm spot that focuses on the health and happiness of the animal before everything else.
Foreman worked in the health food industry for a couple of years and also worked as the manager of euPAWria, so he knows the difference a healthy diet can make in a pet’s life. Foreman also has two dogs of his own, a pair of friendly boxers who you might even see in the store sometimes, so you know that this is not just a business for him but a lifestyle.
Foreman says that the greatest part about euPAWria is that it has a warm personal atmosphere where people can really feel as though all their attention is on the wellness of their pet. Unlike most of the larger pet stores, euPAWria works on developing a relationship with its customers and their pets. It is a store where you can not only bring your dog in, but also let him roam around off leash if you’d like. It is a place where your dog or cat’s specific needs help tailor a specific diet for your pet.
Foreman says that spending a little bit more on nutrition can save a lot in vet bills. He wants to make sure everyone knows that a holistic and healthy diet for your animal does not need to be expensive. The store offers a wide variety of discounts and sales, it is a store that focuses on giving people the highest quality food at the most reasonable pricing imaginable.
Not only does the store try to help out its customers and their furry friends but it also is connected with ODOG, the Owego Dog Owners Group and gives its members a discount. A few different shelters, including Happy Tails Animal Rescue also purchase food from euPAWria and get discounts. All the cooperation with local animal groups proves that this is a local business that is determined to help its furry friends in every way possible.
euPAWria is determined to make healthy nutrition for pets affordable. It seeks to be a place where everyone in the community can feel welcome and where, more importantly, their pets can also feel welcome. Foreman wishes to uphold the sense of pride and community that this shop has already established and to give people a wonderful local option.
