Testimonials from our proud owners
I have been struggling for 4-5 years now trying to find a dog food that both
of my dogs would
like. In the past, I would fix it and end up throwing most of it away.
I finally tried Sojos EUROPA. My dogs are absolutely crazy in love with it.
It is grain FREE. It is dehydrated and I mix it up a few days at a time and
just add meat. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
Thanks Cassie and Jim for recommending it!!!!!

Captain here, I have to tell you about my bath time. I have always hated it.
I have got to the
point where i just took it like a pooch, because my parents are going to do it
no matter how I
feel about it. I much rather have my "doggie purfume" if you know what i mean.
But since my
mommy has bought the Buddy Wash, from the Houndstooth, I just can't wait for
daddy to give
me a bath. If I hear the water running in the tub I am there. Sometimes I even
get in the tub
and hope dad will give me a bath. But he doesn't understand that as of yet.
Sometimes we go visit my dad's mom, and I jump in her tub. All dad does is laugh
and take me out of the tub. See how these humans are lol. I am 2 1/2 and
Tennille is 1 1/2, she's still such a baby. She thinks she can change mom
and dad's minds about bath time. Youngins, need I say more?! Buddy Wash is so
relaxing and that's saying a lot for a min pin. I also don't itch any more, like
I did with other shampoos. I just love bath time now. Thank you Houndstooth. We
been going there for over a year now. We just love it there. Keep up

My 5 month old pup (named "Gracie") had a UTI and
her PH was running pretty alkaline. My vet did
not tell me how to combat this and if Cassandra
had not introduced me to "Barely Berry" I have no
doubt Gracie would have developed struvite stones
and require surgery.
Cassie will tell you she is not a vet but she
certainly knows a great deal about holistic
cures, and I would be willing to bet she has
saved many a dog from unneccesary pain and
surgery.
Thank you Cassie for all your labor in helping us
keep our pets healthy and happy.
With much gratitude, Barbara and Gracie.

I started my two cats, Johanna and Sophie,
on "Wellness" catfood in early 2004 (when they
were one years) because I wanted them to live long
and healthy lives, and I had doubts about all
those ingredients listed on commercial petfood
bags. Not long after I started them on "Wellness"
chicken I took in five feral kittens who were
about two weeks of age (in Sept. 2004). When they
started to eat solid foods I bought a commercial
brand kitten food because I hadn't seen kitten
food in the "Wellness" brand. All five kittens
have colitis. I did a lot of research, on colitis
and sensitive stomach, and came up with a
commercial brand catfood which is available at my
vet's office. It is has a long list of
ingredients with strange names and dark
backgrounds, and carries the same pricetag as the
holistic and/or natural foods sold at "The
Houndstooth". So I went back to "The Houndstooth"
and asked Cassandra which food would be suitable
for my kittens and she recommended "Wellness
Salmon" and told me that cats with colitis
shouldn't eat chicken based foods, something I
hadn't found in my search (and I searched
everywhere including at my vets office)! I bought
a small bag of the salmon "Wellness" to try and I
never looked back, even the two year olds,
Johanna and Sophie, started crunching away on the
salmon flavored "Wellness".
All seven look great,
their coats are soft and shiny, they are full of
energy and the times of vomiting and diahhrea are
in the past. If it wasn't for Cassandra's
knowledge of the benefits of the foods she sells
I am sure my cats wouldn't be enjoying the good
health they are in now. I am switching my two
ferals, Pooh Bear and Mohawk, over to a natural
food and will be adopting 8 more cats in the near
future who will also be switched over to a
natural food. The cost of the foods outweighes
the cost of veterinany care, and a healthy pet
indeed is a happy pet! My life is enriched by my
pets and the fact that they are happy and in good
health makes sharing my life with them so much
the better and easier. I am still trying to
switch my three dogs over to a healthier food,
but they are harder to convince of the many
benefits than the cats :-)! Thanks to "The
Houndstooth" I can buy the best of the best in
canine and feline foods locally. Thanks :-)!

I love visiting The Houndstooth with my Mom & Dad.
I know when we are going there because it's a long drive,
but everytime we go there, we get my favorite Solid Gold
treats & food. Sometimes my Mom tries to get me to put
on clothes & hats (yuck), but Dad's on my side and says
"No way!" I always find a friend in there and my skin has
gotten so much better since Mom started talking
to the nice lady there. I like smelling
EVERYTHING and she is so nice she lets me smell
anything I want to smell. One time I had an
accident and she didn't yell at me either. I
just love it there. The Houndstooth gets a
rating of 5 barks out of 5 from me (and I am one picky judge!)

I have been going to the houndstooth bakery for
a while now and have been very satisfied. It is
a wonderful place that has a lot of wonderful
products it was not until I walked in the store
and talked to Cassie about the foods that I
learned how much better I could do by my dogs
and their diets. One of my dogs has a very
sensitive stomach and about 3 times per year we
were at the vets office because he was so so
sick. After changing my dogs all over to
wellness my dog no longer had any more vet visit
over stomach issues. Yes the food does cost
more but I equait it to do you want to feed you
dog McDonalds every day or filet minon. In my
book the better food is worth every penny in
save vet bills and in extending the life
expectancy of your beloved pet. My dogs are not
just my pets they are my children to and at the
houndstooth bakery they truely understand that
are go out of their way to help us humans to
give our pets the best possible life.
Thank you houndstooth for all that you do and
for just being there. Also,thanks for taking
the time to care about your customers and
getting to know us and our pets. These things
are truely what makes you and your shop stand
out from the rest.

Our sweet dogs, Ruby and Rose, have benefited
greatly from the knowledge that Cassie has to share about dog nutrition.
I'll save you from the long story
of Ruby's ear problems and Rose's sensitive
stomach ~ but they are much
healthier and happier since we've been feeding
them Pinnacle trout and sweet
potato dog food. Yes it costs a little more, but
it costs much less than all of the vet bills that
accomplished more harm than good.
The vet had given us one medication after
another and Ruby was getting worse instead of
better. What we put this dog through is a shame.
One walk into The Hounds Tooth changed our lives.
Cassie doesn't claim to know everything but she
definitely knows more than anyone else I've
spoken to about dogs nutrition/health, and she is
obviously diligent in her research and extremely
caring! We are fortunate to have such a valuable
resource in our area.
Walking into The Hounds Tooth is not just a
shopping experience, it's an education.

About 2 months after my mom brought me home from the breeder, I started having seizures. So mom
brought me to Cornell but they couldn't find anything wrong with me. Thankfully mom heard that
the corn in those store brand dog foods can cause seizures. So ever since I have been on Solid Gold
dog food, and guess what, no more seizures. Thanks mom and thanks Solid Gold. Love, Kiely.

I was introduced to The Houndstooth about 2 months ago,after exausting every resource to find
an answer to my poor pup's allergy problems I was starting to lose hope that there was any help for
her.After spending hundreds of dollars and seeing a variety of vets I was not seeing any
improvement with her condition(hair loss and scabs on her legs,feet,belly and ears).
A friend of mine brought me to meet Cassandra who is such an inspiration & a fountain of knowledge
to boot. She explained things to me about the nutrition of my pup that no vet had ever
mentioned.And she was able to relay researched information to me that made complete sense and
was easy to understand. In my eyes she and her husband are completly
dedicated to pets and people. In closing I'd like to say that the product
(Solid Gold-Holistique Blend) that Cassandra recommended for my Penny girl has her completly
cured and back to her young self in a matter of 2 1/2 weeks.I thank her from the top and bottom of
my heart that she took the time to do all this research to make our pets lives better and
healthier,and Penny thanks her too because now she can frolic without pain with her human
siblings again. "WE LOVE THE HOUNDSTOOTH!!AND IT'S PROPRIETORS!!"

We are the luckiest Labs going since our Mom started shopping at the Houndstooth Bakery &
Boutique and met our good friend, Cassie. We love our Pinnacle dry food and our coats are so
shiny and beautiful. When we go for check ups at the vet's, even she tells us how beautiful our
coats are and that we must be eating really good food to look that way. We're really glad that
there is such a good place as the Houndstooth.

"B" has moved to marathon from his hometown of bainbridge and has yet to find a boutique that
suits him as well as the houndstooth. mom still gets his food and special treats from cassie,
but misses his visits with her. "B" always felt welcome at cassies store and would recommend
that if you can get your owner to stop by, you will be treated to a homemade biscuit and
sincere howdy do from cassie and jim. what a shopping meckaa for dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are a couple of senior girls who really like
what Mommy buys for us from the Houndstooth
Bakery and Boutique. We used to eat Canidae dry
food, but can't now that we have had a lot of
teeth pulled. Daisy has only 10 teeth and a
sensitive tummy, so she is a fussy eater. Solid
Gold Hund-N-Flocken is Daisy's favorite because
it is easy to chew and doesn't upset her
digestive system. Canned foods from Canidae,
Pinnacle, and Evanger's(chicken)are really good,
too.

Life is sweet now that our folks have found
Houndstooth Bakery. We LOVE Solid Gold adult
maintenance - Just A Wee Bit. In point of fact,
we'd like a wee bit more of the stuff- YUM! We
Schipps may be a sturdy little breed but our tums
can be a bit tricky and Solid Gold has done the
trick. We're a rompin', stompin' duo now. Thank
you Cassandra for setting us up with a sample and
thanks also for having such a wonderful store in
which our folks can do all their K9 shopping!
