Jim Nannen, owner and operator of Animal House Naturals, has been a resident of St. Pete since the 1980s, but pets have been his business even longer than that—for almost 50 years! Jim employs a team of highly professional and knowledgeable staff, ready to help assist you in all of your pet needs, most of whom have been with the store more than 15 years.

“Animal House Naturals has the most qualified workforce in the retail pet industry in the USA today, and we challenge anyone to prove us wrong!” Jim said. And well, I would have to agree. Upon walking into the store, I was greeted with smiles, an offer of help and an impressive variety of pet supplies at excellent prices.

Only the Best for Your Pet

Let’s talk pet food! Some of the biggest concerns we have today are in regards to our health and what we eat. So it just makes sense that we are also concerned about what we feed the furry members of our family.

Animal House Naturals understands and has made it easy to find the right food for your pet, especially those with special dietary needs. They carry one of the largest selections of natural and organic dog food and cat food in St. Petersburg and all of Tampa Bay. The aisles are lined with a wide assortment of foods from trusted brands like Taste of the Wild and Stella & Chewy’s. Think grain free, raw, limited ingredient and added vitamins and minerals. It’s all here in one place.

“We wouldn’t sell anything here that we wouldn’t feed our own pets,” said Store Manager, Emily Stoft, who has been with the company for 18 years. She and the rest of the friendly seasoned pros at Animal House Naturals are ready to help you find just the right food or supplement.

Animal House Naturals also has their own proprietary line of animal care products. They offer everything from shampoos to vitamins, skin creams, ear cleansers and anti-itch sprays, just to name a few, as well as products from many other leading pet-care brands. Now, if by some crazy chance, they don’t have exactly what you need, they will order it for you.

Beyond the necessities, Animal House Naturals carries lots of fun stuff, too. With the holidays upon us, I’m certain your pets are on the nice list, and deserve a special gift from Santa. Check out the shop’s selection of fashionable collars, dapper outfits, yummy treats and toys galore. Who wants to trot around town in last year’s duds? Not your baby! With everything from scented waste removal bags to pet carriers on wheels, it’s one-stop shopping for every pet (and pet-lover) on your list.

Be Prepared to Fall in Love

Animal House Naturals proudly support the local animal rescue services, such as Pet Pal and Friends of Strays, and as such do not sell dogs or cats. They do offer some small pets in store for adoption—think gerbils and ferrets and snakes, oh my!

Best of all, the adoptable pets are accessible and ready to play. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to play with the kittens, hamsters and sugar gliders, and to learn all about some of the adorable varieties of bunnies they have in house. Of course, if you do find a new friend to take home, you will also find all the supplies you will need to take care of them right here at Animal House Naturals.
