Welcome to The Wild - As Nature Intended
Founded with a vision to redefine pet nutrition, we are more than just another chain of pet food & supplies stores. We are a local community of animal lovers fiercely committed to the principle that our pets' health, vitality, and longevity are deeply intertwined with the quality of their diets. We are adamant about fresh, raw & biologically appropriate foods, natural remedies & supplements and high-quality treats, chews, and toys.
We knew we could not, and did not want to, be everything for everyone.
We set out to create a higher standard for pet food & supplies and a place we, as pet owners, would want to shop.
A Higher Standard for Product Selection
We prioritize responsible and traceable sourcing of ingredients and continuously search high and low across the globe to bring you the best, high quality, nutritious foods for your pets. All our foods are free of harmful chemicals, preservatives, by-products and fillers (soy, corn, gluten, wheat) still found in many readily available, highly processed and misleadingly marketed options. We are highly selective of the foods and products we carry. Everything we bring into our stores is extensively researched as well as tried & tested by our team. Moreover, we endeavor to bring you the best variety of healthy and diverse treat and chew assortment from all regions of the world. Currently we have 258 different treats and chews for Dogs & Cats including Alligator, Ostrich, Shark, Ox, Carp as well as Beef, Turkey, Chicken, Duck and Pork, on and on and on…
Commitment to Pet Health & Nutrition Education
Nutrition education has and will continue to be our primary focus and is what sets us apart from any other pet food retailer on the market. All our team members complete an intensive pet nutrition & wellness certification program and in turn, offer unmatched and individualized pet nutrition and wellness advice to our customers to help them manage their pets’ physical and emotional health. We also understand that not everyone has the same budget, and every pet has different needs and issues. We are here to help you make the best choice for you and your pet based on yours and their individual needs.
Locally Owned & Managed
Our stores are locally & family owned but at The Wild, collaboration with the entire team results in a chorus of suggestions relating to operations and product mix. The Wild has thrived though the efforts and vision of our entire team from owners to associates. This empowerment results in a close-knit group of Associates deeply involved and invested in the business’s mission and in turn upholding an unmatched standard of service offered to each customer. Our employees are doing more than ringing sales; dedication to pet health and exuding care and attention for human and pet customers alike are at the heart & soul of what makes us so unique.
At The Wild, our story is rooted in the community of Charleston, where our local family-owned business originates. We have grown alongside the families and pets we serve and are proud to serve them by offering carefully sourced foods, natural remedies & supplements and high-quality treats, chews, and toys for Dogs & Cats.
Whether you are an established customer or a first-time visitor, we invite you to experience the difference that a nature-centric approach to pet nutrition can make - one that respects the innate dietary needs of our pets – with ingredients they would choose themselves in the wild, and what their digestive systems and bodies still need today to not only survive but thrive.
