With a Little Help - Naturally 4 Paws 

Today I am going to let this amazing company speak for themselves. I am still almost speechless. :) 

From Naturally 4 Paws June Newsletter:

Our 5th Birthday!

This month we are proud to announce the celebration of our 5th birthday!!! It’s hard to believe that five years ago we opened our doors and wondered if anyone (besides us) believed that natural nutrition for animals were critical to their health and well being.

In September 2005, two Seabeck residents decided they were tired of driving all the way to Gig Harbor to find quality food for their three fur-kids (Rascal, Rusty and Rowdy). So they spent 8 months studying labels, researching ingredients and posing tough questions to food manufacturers. Naturally 4 Paws was born!

In June 2006, our doors were thrown open to the public... with 2000 square foot of retail space, two self-serve bathing tubs and two owners dedicated to educating our local animal loving community by promoting only natural, healthy products.

In 2008, we expanded our bathing facilities and added our 1800 square foot Training & Events Center, where Noel Ritter from Guiding Hands Pet Obedience and Sandy McFarlane now teach a variety of canine classes four days a week.

Fast forward to today... Naturally 4 Paws has a retail space that triples our original size, allowing us to bring you an even larger variety of natural foods, healthy treats, unique accessories and great services.

This year, we moved our self-serve bathing facilities and opened our full service Natural Grooming Salon, with two of the friendliest and professional local groomers joining the Naturally 4 Paws family.

We now employ 15 local animal lovers with a variety of backgrounds and are extremely lucky and blessed to have found so many loyal customers and friends. We would like to personally thank each of you for your patronage and support in our endeavor to benefit and further the interests of Kitsap County’s animal loving community.

Thank You!

Raise the Woof! Fund

While one purpose of each birthday party is to have fun and bring together our local animal loving community, the other important purpose is to raise funds for a worthwhile local charity cause.

This year the mother of a local military family contacted us for assistance in raising funds to pay for their autistic daughter’s professional service dog training.

Faith belongs to a local submariner family and she has a long list of debilitating medical issues. An organization called Animal for Autism provides specially trained service dogs for those in need. Unfortunately, the cost to train one of these animals is significant... $14,000!

So this year, all funds raised from the sale of our Birthday Raffle Tickets, Summer Fur-lympic Games, Treasure Hunt and Nail Trims will go directly to the Raise the Woof! Service Dog Fundraiser.

You can read more about the fundraising efforts underway for Faith by visiting the following website:

Faith’s website also has a link to another site that tracks the progress of her service dog’s (Bella) training.
