Fido's City Guide

When former Geologist,   former Special Education Teacher  Marc Dunn decided he want a career where hecould 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.
