If dogs are man’s best friends, Carmel’s Raw Connection pet store is man’s best friend’s best friend. After watching her Irish wolfhound die of health complications, Raw Connection owner/proprietor Sarah Adams began feeding her pets a raw food diet and saw their lives extended significantly, a benefit she wanted to share with pet lovers across the Peninsula. Offering a variety of healthy pet food, pet supplements, and seminars and classes taught by animal experts, the Connection features a staff of self-proclaimed pet lovers who often spend upwards of an hour personalizing food plans for pet owners.
