Service here is incredible. Staff is always friendly, and I love popping in before dining at keys to greet kitties up for adoption or pick out a new dog toy.I feed my dog raw, but I like to have a dry food backup for traveling or simply for days we forget to thaw pup's meal. Finding a kibble that's NOT toxic is tough, and it's more challenging to find ones that are balanced and nutritious. We previously fed ORIJEN, but since Purina bought in them 2023, I've heard scary reports of the new formula making dogs sick. EEEK!So I was on a hunt for an ORIJEN alternative. I researched several products online in advance.CAUTION: If you feed your pet foods with more raw ingredients and negligible preservatives, you must ENSURE THE BAG IS AIRTIGHT, or your pet could get sick from the deteriorating food. (I learned the hard way; a bag that was shipped to me from another seller had "popped" the seal, and I didn't think through how critical the airtight factor was.)In an effort to confirm the "airtight" factor and quality ingredients, I decided that an in-person visit to Chuck's was necessary. Staff was very helpful for grabbing bags and reading/comparing labels with me. My finalists were Open Farm RawMix, Farmina N&D Grain-Free Quinoa | Digestion, and Farmina N&D Venison | Skin & Coat. While I love the freeze-dried component of Open Farm's RawMix, their bags were somewhat loose fitting. The Farmina bags were vacuum-packed with no question of freshness, so I opted for Farmina. Chuck has a satisfaction guarantee and was surpringly the same price or less than Chewy or Amazon, which also made me feel better about the choice. (To the two ladies that helped me out, THANK YOU so much!)For raw feeders out there, I highly recommend Chuck's for picking a good dry food back up! They also have freezers with raw patties (fully balanced), fermented goat's milk, and more.I also love Chuck's diverse selection of antlers and chews. They have some XL antler panels, which are rare to find and critically needed for the larger breed dogs to sufficiently enjoy before it become bone broth scraps. I love the 5-foot meat sticks for just $9. (See photo.) The gigantic size is so entertaining. My dog's eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas morning when she saw me with them. Ha!Chuck's has a decent selection of dog toys. They have added more larger profile toys to the mix, which my German Shepherd greatly appreciates. The mammoth with a tennis ball in the tummy is my pup's new favorite squishy. (See photo.)Overall, I think they take "Are you a friend of Chuck's?" to heart. I appreciate their genuine love/interest in my dog and their commitment to offering in good quality foods, toys, and supplies. We vote two paws up!

It was a great experience at Chuck and Dons in Forest Lake. I was happy for the friendly staff who gave me some input when I asked questions.

One of Nora’s favorite places to go!! All the staff are so nice to her and love Nora so much, so they’re all pretty generous with treats for her! And Nora knows how to work the system by going to each person working and getting some treats from each of them. Everyone there is very welcoming and seem to all love animals and seeing all the furry faces. It’s our favorite store!!
