Downtown Loveland has a lot of offerings for people, but, until recently, there’s been nothing catering to all those four-legged friends walking, jogging and lounging right alongside their humans.
Enter Pet Wants, a new kind of pet store offering clean, nutritious pet food (and more), with the goal of improving the health and well-being of our furbabies.
Born and raised in Cincinnati, owner Marc Drapp says he’s cycled through various accounting and financial roles during his career, from staff accountant to CEO—all with a dog or two by his side.
“I’ve always been a lover of dogs,” he smiles. “In 2018, I decided to bring my experiences together, opening a full-service dog daycare, boarding and grooming facility on the other side of town.”
Then in December 2022, Marc took his love for business and pets another step further, opening a Pet Wants in Hamilton. “From there, I spent quite a bit of time on the road delivering our fresh food, which allowed me to engage in communities along the way,” Marc explains.
“After stopping in multiple areas, I decided downtown Loveland would be perfect for our second store. With its location on the river as well as the walking trail, it’s a great place to showcase our healthy offerings for pets,” Marc says.
Want to give Pet Wants a try? Consider the Pet Wants Challenge: Take a small sample of fresh food home and have your dog or cat participate in a taste test. Their bet? Buddy or Scratchy will be begging for more!
The Pet Wants Difference
-
Fresh food. Marc explained that most commercial pet food is manufactured in mass quantities and sent to distribution warehouses before finally making it onto the shelf at your local store where it can sit for months. Because pet food loses its nutritional value over time, pets can ultimately end up eating a diet that’s low in nutrition, which can lead to sickness, disease or even a shortened life. Pet Wants offers fresh foods and treats sourced locally with whole, all-natural, healthy ingredients.
-
Delivery. Pet Wants is a locally owned small business that’s passionate about being your neighborhood pet store, and the Loveland location allows them to bring fresh food, treats and excellent personal service to the communities along the eastern corridor of I-275. Their healthy, small-batch, slow-cooked food is delivered within weeks of being made. You can stop into the store, shop online or place orders over the phone. Plus, they offer free delivery on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
-
Tasty treats & more. Treats are all-natural and made with limited ingredients sourced in the USA. They are protein-packed and offer great nutrition for both cats and dogs. They offer multiple varieties of jerky as well as freeze-dried options. But the store’s offerings don’t stop at fresh food—you’ll also find a full line of natural Pet Spaw products (shampoos, wipes, sprays, etc.), plus a plethora of unique toys for your favorite furry friends.
-
Training supplies. Looking to keep your dog safe and fashionable with a new collar? Want to take your best four-legged friend on a long trail walk or hiking in the woods, but not sure what type of leash or harness is best? Or, would you like to see how Fido fares out on the Little Miami? Pet Wants offers a wide range of collars, harnesses, leashes and even life jackets—and is ready to recommend the perfect solution for your pet.
