Fresh, Delivered Pet Food Comes to Shawnee Mission

SHAWNEE MISSION, Kan. - Feb. 16, 2016 - PRLog -- Jim Todd always knew he wanted more than just a job – he wanted a career and his own business – but he could never quite find a company he could put his heart into. That changed late last year when Todd came across the pet food company Pet Wants. Now Todd is proud to announce that his business, Pet Wants Lenexa, is officially open.

Pet Wants’ carefully developed proprietary pet food is slow-cooked with fresh, all-natural ingredients. The company has their distributor make the dog and cat food in small batches once per month so every kibble is guaranteed to be fresh and packed with nutrition. Pet Wants Lenexa is a franchise of the Pet Wants Franchising Systems and the mobile delivery service will deliver to Lenexa, Overland Park, Shawnee Mission, Merriam, Mission Hills, Olathe, Prairie Village, Leawood and the surrounding areas.

“I’ve always loved animals – I grew up with dogs and my family has two dogs and a cat – and I have always wanted to own my own business. I’ve worked for someone else all my life and it just wasn’t what I wanted anymore. I don’t want just a job – I want to do something more. When I came across Pet Wants, I knew it was what I had been looking for. This is an opportunity for me to do something I love, work with animals and improve the lives of pet families in my community,” Todd said.

In addition to being made fresh monthly, Pet Wants only sources the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice and other ingredients available. There’s no sugar added, no fillers and no animal by-products. And, since Pet Wants never uses corn, wheat, soy or dyes, Pet Wants is a great fit for pets with allergies. Todd launched Pet Wants with the support of his wife Diane and their two kids – Zach and Jamie.

“I pay attention to what I’m feeding my family, which includes my pets, and Pet Wants is really exciting. Even if you’re feeding your animals the top-of-the-line, big brand dog food, you have no idea how long that food has been sitting on the shelf or in a warehouse AND you have to a make a special trip to the pet store when you run out. Pet Wants is an excellent combination of both a great product and convenience,” Todd said. “My pets love Pet Wants and I know yours will, too.”

Pet Wants originally launched in Cincinnati in 2010. Owned by Michele Hobbs, the business was built to provide proprietary crafted, fresh, slow-cooked, all-natural pet food delivered to customers through a retail store and a convenient home-delivery service. Hobbs, now the company founder, turned the business into a franchise in 2015 with the help of Franchise Funding Group, an investment and franchise-development company designed to help entrepreneurs scale their companies nationally as franchise systems.

About Pet Wants: Pet Wants was started by Michele Hobbs out of love for her pets and frustration. Veterinarians were unable to help relieve her dog’s painful skin allergies. After doing much research, Michele discovered the national dog food brand she trusted was not fresh, not all natural, and lacked sufficient nutrition...and when pet food sits in warehouses and store shelves for months and months… it loses even more nutritional value. She was committed to developing a better solution for all dogs and cats. Their food is exclusively crafted… fresh, healthy, slow-cooked and all natural with no sugar added, no fillers and no animal by-products. They source only the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice, and other ingredients. Fresh ingredients make for better food… and better health for pets. And since they never use corn, wheat, soy or dyes, the common pet health problems associated with these ingredients are no longer worries. Their fresh food is conveniently delivered to the customer within weeks of production, not months. Roughly half of Pet Wants products are sold through their store and half through their convenient, home-delivery program.  You can learn more at www.PetWants.com.
