hat we eat plays a critical role in influencing our health. Research has proven that eating over-processed foods leads to health problems preventing us from looking and feeling our best. The same is true for our beloved four-legged friends. When you feed your pet high-quality natural food your pet’s overall health will improve. High-quality natural foods will provide more energy, a boosted immune system, managed weight, and may also help with cases of vomiting, diarrhea, and ear infection. High-quality natural food can also lead to reduced risk of your pet developing food intolerance(s) or a food allergy. There is a new store in Sioux Falls that offers quality natural pet food and products. Pet Wants is a franchise locally owned and operated by Melissa Brandner-Otten. “We started as a pop-up shop selling products mainly at local vendor shows,” shares Melissa. “As our business grew, we realized we needed a retail location to better serve our customers, so we opened our retail location in Tea, SD in November of 2020.” A short year later, Pet Wants moved to its permanent location at 85th and Louise in Sioux Falls.
