First-class Customer Service
No matter if you just need to pick up a bag of dog biscuits, need
help finding the best food for your pet, or are looking for a crate
for a new puppy, the Green Acres staff is trained and ready to help.
After you have made your purchases, we will happily carry those heavy
bags of food and litter out to your vehicle. Our employees are here
because of their love of animals and to assist you with your pets needs.
When you buy an item at Green Acres, you are also purchasing product
support. We will help you with feeding guidelines on a new food, finding
the right brush for your pets coat, and using a crate to effectively
house train your puppy. If you have questions after the sale, we are
only a phone call away.
Pet food is a complicated business and unfortunately the manufacturers
do NOT put all of the information on the labels needed to make an educated
purchase decision. Green Acres has created and maintains a database
on dog and cat food which includes much of the information that is “not
readily available.” The database not only includes the brands
we sell, but also many of the brands we choose not to sell. With the
aid of this database we can show you why we sell what we do, and exactly
how much it costs to feed your pet on a daily basis. We believe that
it is not in our best interest to sell you “the special of the
month” or the food that has the highest profit margins. We would
rather work with you to help you find the food that will be the best
for your pet’s health and have the least impact on your wallet!
Quality Products
The pet retail channel is filled with foods, treats, toys and other
supplies; a few of exceptional quality and many of which are junk.
We work hard to pick and choose products that meet our stringent quality
standards and yet also offer a good value. Research in periodicals
like the Whole Dog Journal, tests of new products on our own
pets and conversations with professional colleagues that are as fussy
as we are, help us find the best products. Additionally, many of our
clients are as selective we are, and they often provide leads on exciting
new products.
Quality food manufacturers you will find represented at Green Acres
are: Wysong, Steve’s Real Food, Eagle, Innova, California Natural,
Evo, Evangers, Farmore, Merrick, Solid Gold, Nutro, Pro Pac, Diamond, and Hill’s
Science Diet. Supply manufacturers include Animal Essentials, Nelson
Bach, Kong, Nylabone, Vari Kennel, Premier, Leathercrafters, and Caddis.
Low Prices, Often the Best in the Area!
We may not be a “super-sized” pet store, but our prices
are as much as 82% lower than our “big box” competitors.
We are not talking about sale prices or special “members only” prices,
but our everyday prices. We regularly shop the competition and would
be glad to share our latest price comparisons with you when you stop
in the store.
Reward Programs
We appreciate customer loyalty and reward that loyalty with our Very
Important Pet program. Based on your past years purchases, of
both products and services, you can earn valuable discounts on boarding,
daycare, grooming, and training. We also offer frequent buyer programs
for some of our food lines, making the high quality foods we sell
an even greater bargain.
Commitment to the Welfare of
Your Pet
We Do NOT Sell Pets!
We firmly believe that if you are looking to get a dog, a cat, a puppy
or a kitten, the first place you should look is at the Bangor Humane
Society, or one of the many other animal shelters or rescue groups
in our area. Thousands of wonderful, loving pet’s who need new
homes can be found at these shelters and rescue organizations.
If your heart is set on a pure breed puppy or kitten, please purchase
them from a reputable breeder. Reputable breeders will ONLY sell directly
to you; they do not sell their precious pets through retailers.
Green Acres offers a free, Selecting the Perfect Pet program,
to help you determine the best pet for your family or life style. We
would gladly provide you with our recommended criteria for selecting
a reputable breeder.
We Do NOT Sell Products Designed to Hurt Your Pet
We do not sell, recommend or use shock collars, underground fence
systems, choke collars or prong collars. The main purpose of these
devices is to train a dog by causing severe pain. Pain is not necessary
to train, nor is it the most effective way to train any animal. Ample
evidence exists to show that these devices often cause serious aggression
which may lead to euthanasia. As true pet lovers, we will not ethically
support these products, the companies that make them, or the businesses
that sell them.
Bangor Owned
Green Acres is a Bangor owned business, and the purchases you make
here go directly back into the local economy. We want you to buy locally,
and it is our practice to purchase as many of our supplies from local
sources as well.
Stop by and give us a try! Let us show you why thousands of pet guardians
in the area not only choose us for boarding, grooming and training,
but also choose Green Acres as their supplier of quality pet foods
and supplies. |
