Our History

In 1939 Pet Cottage began as Marin’s first feed shop specializing in raw food. Originally located in a small cottage on Greenfield Avenue in San Anselmo, the store featured a butcher counter where raw meats were prepared for pets. These highly nutritious foods were created as an alternative to over processed commercial kibble. In 1950 the store moved to a location with more foot traffic on San Anselmo Avenue.

In 1980 Gay Hunt purchased Pet Cottage and began an era of even greater expansion. In the 90′s Gay partnered with her daughter Sandie and began to use Sandie’s knowledge to grow the business. Together they found new products with a more natural ingredient base sourced in the USA. New natural dry kibble, freeze dried foods, treats, toys, and assorted sundries were added to the selection of existing raw foods. The store relocated to a 3000 square foot facility near its original Greenfield location in 2005.

Today the shop continues to offer the highest quality foods for dogs and cats while educating pet owners. The Pet Cottage team researches all of our products to assure everything sold is the best available.
