A Unique Pet Food Business with a Mission to Foster a Vibrant Community of Pet Lovers


“My husband passed away three years ago, so this venture is really something new and a second opportunity for me,” said Susan. “Looking ahead, my family and I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to support the fellow pet parents of Mount Vernon.”

Pet Wants, the only national provider of pet food freshly delivered to customers, has announced the opening of a new neighborhood Pet Wants location in Mount Vernon, WA on June 1, 2023, driven by a local family with deep ties to the community. This venture aims to elevate the nutrition and health of pets, whilst creating a unique community space for local pet parents to connect, share and learn.

Susan Hughes is the local business owner bringing Pet Wants to the Mount Vernon community. A retired Boeing engineer of 35 years, Susan first discovered the Pet Wants brand while visiting a brick-and-mortar store in her area. She was blown away by the quality of the fresh, small batch food, which improved her own pets’ energy levels within just two weeks.

“When I visited a Pet Wants pet store, I realized it could be a great way to start a family business that I could grow with my daughter and granddaughter,” said Susan. “We all love pets and animals in general, and we were really drawn to healthy pet food. Between the three of us, we have six dogs and three cats. Within two weeks of eating Pet Wants food, our dogs had more energy, which really impressed us. We are excited to share this with our local Mount Vernon community.”

Pet Wants offers freshly made, natural pet food, devoid of harmful fillers and animal by-products. The variety of formulas provide nutritious options for almost every pet, from the smallest dog to the pickiest cat. Instead of mass-producing food, Pet Wants ensures freshness by manufacturing in small batches that are prepared 8 times per year. . With Pet Wants, pet owners get all the benefits of fresh, nutrient-dense food and the convenience of home delivery — without any of the hassles.

A unique element of Pet Wants Mount Vernon is its community-centric ethos, born from the Hughes family’s strong local connection. Susan has teamed up with her daughter Alexandra Hughes and granddaughter Alexis Hughes, both caregivers, to offer high-quality pet food directly to community members, providing a personalized alternative to big box stores.

“I have been all over this area taking care of people and their pets at their homes, so when this opportunity came I also knew I would be serving those in this community,” Alexis said. “Many in the community could benefit from having good quality pet food being delivered to their homes or have the option of a small business instead of big box stores.”

But Susan says what she is most excited about is not only the opportunity to bring a much-needed offering to the community, but to do so while working alongside her family.

“My husband passed away three years ago, so this venture is really something new and a second opportunity for me,” said Susan. “Looking ahead, my family and I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to support the fellow pet parents of Mount Vernon and become an integral part of the community through our Pet Wants franchise.”
