The K9 Shop is the brainchild of Anya and Robert
Tucker. They both realized that Long Island was
lacking a place to get high quality, raw pet food
at an economical price. They both believe that
every dog should be afforded the opportunity to
have a species-appropriate diet. The K9 Shop
specializes in creating a diet and plan for your
dog that is appropriate and cost effective. The K9
Shop started with a small variety of products and
has now expanded into a place where you can
find just about anything you are looking for. They
believe in keeping it simple and providing a oneon
one approach to each individual dog’s needs.
The K9 Shop strives to maintain high quality of
foods for your dog or cat.
