Meet the Owners
We are Randall and Paula Malone, the local owners of Pet Wants Cleveland. We have a passion for pets and an expertise in fresh, premium dog and cat food. As longtime residents of Cleveland, We are delighted to share our expertise in pet nutrition and serve our community.
For 15 years, we ran Chem-Dry franchises before deciding to fulfill Paula’s dream to help children who had suffered hardships, much like she had as a young girl. We operated four children’s homes in North Georgia for 18 years, until the COVID-19 pandemic complicated our operations. This led us into our start in the pet food industry. We were first introduced to Pet Wants as customers when our dog developed dermatitis. We were blown away by how quickly it cleared up his sores.
We invite anyone to schedule a customized 1:1 Nutritional Consultation to learn more about what is in your pet’s current food and the benefits that a Pet Wants diet can provide to your dogs and cats. Our recipes start with premium proteins like Salmon, Lamb, Beef, Chicken, Whitefish, Duck, and more. We keep our Pet Wants promise to never add by-products, fillers, sugar, corn, or soy. Our single ingredient treats and chews are made with the same high standards as our small-batch, fresh pet food formulas. We are enthusiastic about sharing our knowledge and love for pets with the community.
Pet Wants Cleveland is a mobile business. You can shop online, and it will be conveniently delivered to you at home or work. We offer free, personalized delivery to Cleveland, Ooltewah, McDonald, Collegedale, and surrounding areas. We are excited to meet you and assist you in creating a customized nutrition plan for your dog or cat. Let us bring our passion and knowledge right to your doorstep!
Our Inspiration
Very simply, you and your pets inspire us to innovate.
Pet Wants was founded on the belief that mainstream, big-box store pet food wasn’t synonymous with nutrition or quality. So, we created a better option. Second to your veterinarian, our goal is to be your trusted resource in pet care. From food and treats to skin relief, we earn that trust through transparency of ingredients and sourcing, a knowledgeable and caring staff, and a sincere passion to be the best and provide the best for you and your pet.
We are proud of what we do, and what our food and services do for your pet’s quality of life. If you have a story of how Pet Wants has helped your pet, or an idea you’d like to share, click here! We’d love to be inspired!
History of Pet Wants
Our founder, Michele Hobbs, started Pet Wants out of love and frustration. One of her beloved dogs suffered from painful skin allergies and, no matter what food they tried, her pet continued to suffer. Michele realized very quickly that national dog food brands were not fresh, they lacked complete nutrition and, most importantly, they were filled with dozens of non-nutritious ingredients and animal byproducts.
Michele decided to change that. She found a manufacturer and worked with them to formulate a custom pet food in small batches to be made fresh every month. Her animals loved the food — and so did the pets of all of her friends. Almost overnight, Pet Wants was born.
