Meet the Owners

I’m Amber Sutfin, the local owner of Pet Wants South Hills, and my path to Pet Wants started with my own dog, Abby. As Abby’s health started to decline, I started home cooking for her using fresh, high-quality ingredients. I saw an immediate improvement in her coat, weight, energy level and quality of life. I know having the right nutrition made a huge difference in her last months.

Although we were able to cook for Abby, I know that’s a challenge for many families. That’s where Pet Wants comes in. With Pet Wants, you get fresh food that’s made with fresh, high-quality ingredients without adding something else to your own plate.

I’m a United States citizen – originally from Canada – and I have a degree in Interior Design and is a Certified Life Coach as well as a Certified Reiki Master and Animal Reiki Master Practitioner. My husband, Mike Sutfin, and I have a son named Jacob and a daughter named Dagen. Our family also includes two flat coated retrievers – Sako and Berk, a.k.a. Legend of the Bonenapper. Berk has earned his AKC Championship and his Canadian Championship and has trained to bird hunt.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets and helping you find products to best suit your pet’s individual needs!

Our Inspiration

Very simply, you and your pets inspire us to innovate.

Pet Wants was founded on the belief that mainstream, big-box store pet food wasn’t synonymous with nutrition or quality. So, we created a better option. Second to your veterinarian, our goal is to be your trusted resource in pet care.  From food and treats to skin relief, we earn that trust through transparency of ingredients and sourcing, a knowledgeable and caring staff, and a sincere passion to be the best and provide the best for you and your pet.

We are proud of what we do, and what our food and services do for your pet’s quality of life. If you have a story of how Pet Wants has helped your pet, or an idea you’d like to share, click here! We’d love to be inspired!

History of Pet Wants

Our founder, Michele Hobbs, started Pet Wants out of love and frustration. One of her beloved dogs suffered from painful skin allergies and, no matter what food they tried, her pet continued to suffer. Michele realized very quickly that national dog food brands were not fresh, they lacked complete nutrition and, most importantly, they were filled with dozens of non-nutritious ingredients and animal byproducts

Michele decided to change that. She found a manufacturer and worked with them to formulate a custom pet food in small batches to be made fresh every month. Her animals loved the food — and so did the pets of all of her friends. Almost overnight, Pet Wants was born.
