When former Geologist,   former Special Education Teacher  Marc Dunn decided he want a career where he Nature's Pet Eugene Dogscould spend more time with his dogs,  be found the perfect solution with Nature's Pet Market.  Marc's interest in healthy foods for pets started as a kid,  when is dog was chosen to test out the original IAM's dog food.

Like all Nature's Pet Markets,  the Eugene store is all about customer service,  and quality, featuring many organic and natural foods,  as well as local products.    You will find some differences at the Eugene store,  starting with the fact the store is open 365 days a year.  Since Marc has no family local and he would feel guilty asking his employees to work on holidays,  he and his two dogs staff the store on holidays.

STAM Dog TreatsSTAM has been producing grain-free dog treats commercially since 2007. We started out as others do – in a shared commercial kitchen. In 2009, we moved into our own dedicated bakery in Wood Village; and not a day too soon.

We have two dogs: Sammy big boy and Princess Stella cookie pants (shown left). Sam has no allergies and Stella is allergenic to just about everything. We couldn’t find treats suitable for Stella so we started making our own. We would share our extras with friends and soon after, STAM was born. We don’t have baking backgrounds so we didn’t have preconceived notions of what needed to go into our products. We read for several months in search of ingredients we wanted our dogs to have. We read everything from veterinary journals to animal science textbooks to nutrition discussions on-line.
