Who is Pet Wants?

We started with the goal of improving the health and well-being of our own pets. Now, we hope to use what we have learned to promote nutrition and vitality in pets across the country.

Meet The Owners

We’re Benjamin and Marsha King, the local owners of Pet Wants Johns Creek, and our pet food journey started after we lost our second Weimaraner and our third was diagnosed with liver cancer. When we started researching pet food, we realized how many were made with additivies and preservatives and how many sat on shelves for months before we bought them. When we came across Pet Wants, we realized we wanted not only to feed it to our own pets, but to bring the brand to the pets and pet families in our own community. Pet Wants is unique not only because the nutritional quality of our food, but also because of that freshness. Freshness matters – the fresher your food, the more nutrients it will have.

Ben is a Certified Health Coach and is certified in the Anti-Inflammatory Diet. Marsha is a State of Georgia Certified Nursing Assistant and also a CARE® Dementia Specialist. She is Owner/Director of Visiting Angels of Jonesboro GA. We both love animals and we currently have two Weimaraners, Duke and Mattie. We look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Caring for Our Furry Family

When you think of your pet, what brings you joy? Bright eyes? Shiny, soft coat? Tail wagging? Snuggle time? All of these things, and more, are reflective of our pets’ health. It all starts with fresh, nutritious ingredients. Food is medicine and like us, what our pets eat impacts their lives. When store shelves are filled with bags that all basically look the same, it can be confusing trying to decide what food is best. We often rely on marketing campaigns to help inform us. But how are you to trust the quality of the ingredients beyond the assumption that higher prices equate to better food? That a playful puppy in a commercial is really eating fresh, nutrient-rich kibble?

We intend to deliver on more than just a promise of fresh, high-quality food – we will build a community based on education and awareness around the ingredients our pets eat.

What's Wrong with Name Brand Foods?

Most commercial pet food is manufactured in mass quantities and sent to a series of distribution warehouses before finally making it onto the shelf at your local store. There it sits…possibly for up to 6-8 months before it’s purchased for consumption. Because pet food loses its nutritional value over time, pets can ultimately end up eating a diet that’s low in nutrition and can ultimately lead to unnecessary sickness, disease and even a shortened life.

How Pet Wants Got Started

As pet parents know, a pet’s diet is very important. Pet Wants was created in 2010 after the owner of Pet Wants noticed some serious health issues with her beloved pets. Problems began to appear and quickly worsened. Many unsuccessful trips to the veterinarian’s office and several thousands of dollars later, the owner decided to take matters into her own hands. She discovered the problem was the low nutritional value of the food she was feeding her pets. In simple terms, the pets weren’t getting enough of the right nutrients necessary for a healthy life. As a pet parent who cared deeply about her pet’s welfare, she felt terrible — like she had let down a family member. She was shocked to learn that the nationally recognized premium brand food she trusted for her pets lost most of its nutritional value from sitting too long in warehouses, and on store shelves….she decided there had to be a better way.
