About the Blog

Welcome to the Purrs McBarkin’ Blog — a space where pet wellness meets honesty, compassion, and a deep respect for the animals we love.

My name is Dave, and I’m the owner and operator of Purrs McBarkin’, a pet supply store located in the heart of Hartsville, South Carolina. Since opening the doors, I’ve focused on curating products I believe in — from food and treats to supplements and supplies — all with one goal in mind: to support the health and happiness of your cats and dogs.

This blog is an extension of that mission.

Here, you’ll find thoughtful articles, nutrition insights, and myth-busting facts rooted in science, experience, and a genuine love for pets. I’m currently working toward my certification in canine and feline nutrition because I believe that pet parents deserve better information and better options — without the pressure, gimmicks, or big-brand bias.

Why I Started This Blog

The pet food world can be confusing. Marketing often drowns out truth, and important questions get lost in the noise. I created this blog to cut through that — to offer clarity, not overwhelm. Whether you’re navigating food sensitivities, trying to understand ingredients, or just looking for a second opinion that isn’t tied to a corporate agenda, you’re in the right place.

What You Can Expect

• Straightforward guidance on pet food and wellness

• Honest reviews and ingredient breakdowns

• Educational posts backed by research and common sense

• Thoughtful reflections from a small business owner who cares deeply about doing right by animals

No drama. No shortcuts. Just helpful content for people who want to do better for their pets.

Your pets deserve the best, and I’m here to help.
Thanks for being here — and for caring as much as I do.
