The Whole Pet Shop
At the Whole Pet Shop we specialize in healthy food for dogs and cats. We believe proper nutrition is critical to your animal’s health and well-being. More & more people are beginning to see how nutrition benefits their own health, and are now applying that to their companions. Besides offering great products, our purpose is to help educate the pet owner on the benefits of a healthy diet for their dogs & cats. We carry the highest quality pet food available, including kibble, canned, freeze dried and frozen raw. While our focus is on healthy pet food, we haven’t forgotten the fun stuff! We have great treats, chews, toys, grooming products, collars, leashes and more. We can’t wait to see you here!

Pet Pros
Pet Pros was founded on the notion that pet owners should have access to top quality pet food and supply choices, in convenient neighborhood locations. Pet Pros still delivers on that promise by offering one of the largest selections of premium healthy foods in the area along with a wonderful mix of quality supplies. We believe Pet Pros' strength lies not in the ability to serve the masses, but to serve individuals in their neighborhood settings with a high level of customer service.

Delta Society
Delta Society brings individuals together who share a common passion - a love of animals and people. We are committed to making a difference within our local communities and across the globe. Delta Society is dedicated to improving human health through therapy and service animals. We work to increase awareness of the positive effects of animals, reduce the barriers that prevent the involvement of animals in everyday life and expand the therapeutic and service role of animals in health, service and education.

Reading with Rover
Reading With Rover is a community-based literacy program volunteering in the schools, bookstores and libraries of Puget Sound area of Washington State. It is our goal, as volunteers and founders of Reading With Rover, to make the "Rover" program available to all schools, reading and learning facilities that would like to enhance their reading programs.

Our mission is to provide well-care for your pets at a level commensurate with their position of honor as valued members of your family.

Rick Takagi Photography
I live in the wonderful city of Kirkland with my wife, 2 kids, 2 dogs and a cat. I have been very lucky that magazines such as 425, Seattle magazine, Seattle weekly, Parade and others have used my photos for different stories. I love shooting photos of our surroundings but also love a good portrait. Call or email me if your interested in having a family photo done!
