50 | March/April 2015 zen nuggets can be thawed as needed in conventional offerings like chicken, beef and lamb. For the animal with an adventurous palate, Naturally Unleashed stocks items such as salmon kangaroo treats – made from real, wild Australian kangaroo meat. "We just brought in a new line, called Steve's Real Food. It's what I feed my dog. As people are becom- ing more aware of their health, we have seen a change in what they buy for their pets," said Heidi. Steve's is known in the pet food industry for its easy-to-tolerate ratio of eighty percent meat to twenty percent fruit and vegetable. It can be difficult to transition a formerly grain-fed animal to a diet comprised of 100 percent meat, which is when the fruit and vegetable compo- nent becomes important. "I started Keebler on a raw food diet about three years ago. She was quite over- weight and had some anxiety and aggression issues. I tried everything. Raw food got her to her ideal weight and stopped the anxiety and aggressive behavior com- pletely. I guess if I didn't feel well from what I ate, I'd be cranky, too," said Heidi. Another favorite among Naturally Unleashed cus- tomers is the wide assortment of treats. Bulk biscuits are available by the pound, which makes for a fun and unique selection experience for pet owners and pets alike. "ey can walk down the aisle and sniff each bin. Of course, we have some dogs who like to taste test. Most of the time, they just do their own shopping," joked Heidi, of the pet-friendly environment. Getting the Word Out Passionate about the advancement of a healthy pet community, they are monthly contributors to local non-profit shelters and the Fayetteville Animal Protec- tion Society. Last summer, they hosted Fayetteville Pet Fest in the parking lot of the Boone Trail location, which attracted pet enthusiasts, new customers and aligned with their health-focused mission. is year, the event is planned for June 4th and 5th – on a larger scale. Fun for the whole family, the weekend will include vendors and fea- ture exciting competitions by the Carolina DockDogs, a canine aquatics competition club based in Sanford, NC. Whenever possible, Heidi stocks products made in the United States. As Dale and Frank served in the military, the Hills show their appreciation for service members by offering a 5% military discount in addi- tion to a frequent purchase program for loyal custom- ers. "is is a family environment. We will talk to you like family and we treat our pets like family. We have the best customer service, because we have the best cus- tomers," said Heidi. Updates on Pet Fest, searchable product inventory and coupons can be found on their website, www.natu- rallyunleashed.com.
