our story

Real People Making Real Food

Jeffrey Dotson was intrigued by the significant health improvements in his dog, Burton, after he started feeding him high quality food bought from a natural pet food store in Washington D.C. Jeffrey started working in the store and eventually became a co-owner. After reading Dr. Pitcairn's Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats and researching information available on diet, essential nutrients and natural remedies, he thought, “I not only saw the difference in the health and energy of my own dog, I saw positive changes in literally thousands of animals whose owners began feeding them a high quality diet from our store.”

After moving to California, Jeffrey continued his career in the natural pet world. Unexpectedly, he was faced with the challenge of helping his cat, Sasha, recover from an ongoing urinary tract infection. “As soon as she got off antibiotics, her infection would come back. I immediately turned to Dr. Pitcairn’s book looking for answers.” Jeffrey was convinced that the only solution would be to make a raw meat diet for his cats. The results were undeniable. Eating a homemade raw meat diet cured Sasha. within days of introducing the new diet, a chronic eye discharge problem with his other cat, Toby, completely vanished. Jeffrey thought, why not make and deliver his organic, additive-free, raw meat diet to others?

Lynnet's story begins in much the same way that Jeffrey's did. When her beloved pit bull, Luna, developed a serious urinary tract infection after spaying complications, Lynnet also BEGAN making her own food for her dog based on Dr. Pitcairn's book and seeing a local holistic vet. She saw the dramatic improvements that proper nutrition and non-invasive veterinary techniques held for her. Luna recovered quickly. Her holistic vet suggested she meet Jeffrey Dotson, who was also a client. Lynnet and Jeffrey’s, kindred spirits, connected immediately while discussing the details of their recipes. When she was short on time, Lynnet would buy Luna food from the store. Inspired by her experience, Lynnet decided it was time for a new career. Jeffrey thought the time was right to open a second location and their partnership developed quickly. Jeffrey’s North Beach opened soon after with Lynnet at the helm.

Jeffrey faced his own serious, long term health concerns. When he fell ill and could no longer care for the store, he entrusted it to his partner, Lynnet, whom he knew would respect and carry out the tradition he started. Lynnet and her team are committed to honoring this Legacy.

Today, Jeffrey's Natural Pet Foods is known as San Francisco's premier resource for natural pet foods, healthy treats, locally produced goods, supplies and information in the Bay Area. Jeffrey’s is committed to a lifetime of good health and comfort on behalf of our animal companions.
