The company operates six physical store locations across Northern Colorado, specifically in Fort Collins, Loveland, and Windsor, serving individual pet owners in those communities.

The assortment includes natural and premium brands such as Fromm, Stella & Chewy's, Oxbow, Hikari, Aqueon, and West Paw, with a stated focus on natural pet food and nutritionally trained staff.

Customer retention is supported through two loyalty mechanics — the Poudre Pet Pals rewards program and a Frequent Buyer Program spanning more than 50 brands — along with a newsletter offering a $5 first-order incentive and community-oriented content via The Pet Post blog and Instagram. Pricing is unit-based, with individual SKUs ranging from approximately $4.99 for treats to roughly $89.99 for premium dog food bags, and a subscription option is available for cat and dog food.
