Barb Emmett, owner of Godfrey’s Welcome to Dogdom, in Mohnton, has more than twenty years of experience as a canine wellness advocate and holds a certificate in canine nutrition. In response to growing interest from her customers, Emmett now offers free, one-hour consultations for owners interested in learning how to improve their pet’s diet and nutrition. She has also expanded Godfrey’s supply of fresh, raw and lightly cooked foods, placing special attention on the quality, transparency and integrity of sourcing. One gently cooked food option uses the “sous vide” method of cooking to greatly preserve the nutrients. Whole food supplements such as medicinal mushrooms play a role in improving immunity. Meats and goat’s milk products are sourced from small farms.

Godfrey’s also offers seven rooms of retail products, training classes, dog park memberships, food and environmental sensitivity test kits and more.

Emmett, who continues to study new methods for increasing pet longevity and quality of life, is passionate about helping people have more time with their pets. About the process of collaborating with pet owners, Emmett reflects, “I meet each person wherever they are to improve the wellness of their pet and serve better health in their dog’s bowl.”
