Insider Weekly has recognized Garden State Pet Center as the Top Holistic Pet Store of 2025, highlighting the Audubon, NJ establishment’s commitment to premium pet nutrition and ethical sourcing practices.
Located at 226 S White Horse Pike, the store offers a diverse selection of pets including birds, reptiles, small mammals, and amphibians, alongside a carefully curated inventory of holistic pet foods and supplements. What sets Garden State Pet Center apart is their expert team led by owner Victor Santucci, who provides specialized guidance on raw diets, freeze-dried nutrition, and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM)-based feeding strategies.
“At Garden State Pet Center, we don’t just sell pet products—we educate and support pet owners in making the best choices for their animals,” said Santucci. The store carries premium brands such as Open Farm, Nulo, and Health Extension, along with exclusive specialty products including waterproof Martingale collars and human-grade pet treats.
Beyond retail, Garden State Pet Center offers unique services rarely found in typical pet stores, including grooming for birds, small mammals, and reptiles, pet boarding, DNA and disease testing for birds, and free local delivery for pet essentials. This comprehensive approach has helped establish the business as a community hub for pet lovers seeking the best for their companions.
“Our focus is on high-quality, holistic pet nutrition. Whether it’s freeze-dried raw, gently cooked meals, or specialty supplements, we ensure pets get the best,” noted one of the store’s representatives. This dedication to quality nutrition is complemented by the team’s credentials as Certified Pet Nutritionists.
The store differentiates itself from big-box retailers through personalized service and educational initiatives, regularly hosting vendor demonstrations, seasonal promotions, and informational events designed to help customers make informed decisions about their pets’ health and well-being.
“We believe in ethical sourcing and responsible pet care, which is why we offer only the best foods, supplies, and services for our customers,” the team added, reaffirming their commitment to both animal welfare and customer satisfaction.
