North Central resident Rhonda Teel, owner of Kodi’s Natural Pet Foods, looks back on her 10 years of business and is proud of what she has accomplished.

Much of that has to do with educating her customers about the health and well being of their pets, and helping them to select the best food products for them. Her store, located on 16th Street just north of Bethany Home Road, carries a wide selection of food and supplements for dogs and cats.

Teel herself knows how important nutrition can be for an animal, whether in preventing disease or countering the effects of aging.

“My dog, Kodi, was already gone (when she started the store) but I truly believe that her food contributed to her cancer,” Teel says. “My heart lies in helping pets with cancer and hopefully over the last 10 years I have.”

Teel will celebrate the store’s anniversary during regular store hours Saturday, Feb. 17, with demonstrations, free samples, raffle prizes, “Bobbing for Hot Dogs,” and more.
