PET STORE, PLACE TO PAMPER YOUR PET: All Natural Pet Supply
All Natural Pet Supply was born out of a self-serve dog wash and the discovery that natural foods made a significant difference for a dog's healthy well-being. 10 years later, the dog wash is sold, but All Natural Pet Supply is still providing a natural way to keep your pets happy. That’s why they are winners of the best Pet Store and best Place to Pamper Your Pet titles.
It's the second time All Natural Pet Supply has won the best pet store category, offering natural and organic dry, canned and raw foods. The store also provides all the best things to pamper your pet: treats and chews, furniture and crates, toys and bowls, collars and leashes, apparel and more! Know someone who likes pets more than most people? There are even gift ideas for them!
Still, this is all about the pets, right? So, whether you have a carnivorous kitty -- or an omnivorous pup – readers have made All Natural Pet Supply their store.

VETERINARIAN: Orchards Veterinary Clinic
With veterinarians that are helpful, knowledgeable and easy to understand, Orchards Veterinary Clinic was your top choice to take your sick pet to. While there may be a wait at times, there's a reason for that: Clark County really likes the work they do and keep coming back.
Winning the category for the second time in as many years, Orchards Veterinary Clinic has a devoted following, appreciative of the care and compassion that their pets deserve.

GROOMER: Dirty Dog Gone
At the start, being the groomer for Dirty Dog Gone was a fill-in position for Matt Stilman. Now, as a professional for three years, Dirty Dog Gone is the best groomer in Clark County according to readers.
"I enjoy working with dogs," Stilman said. "I've been around (dogs) a long time. We don't force the animals to do anything. We're very careful to be kind."
Dirty Dog Gone isn't the biggest groomer in town, and sometimes Stilman needs extra time to tend to specific breeds (some terriers for example). But readers appreciated that kind of care and attention.
WINNER: Dirty Dog Gone, 202 E Main St., Battle Ground, WA, 98604, 360-687-6623
BEHAVIORAL CONSULTANT: Mind Your Manners Dog Training
With a focus on family dogs, Mind Your Manners Dog Training is the top behavioral consultant for two years running. Offering obedience classes as well as social daycare and boarding, Mind Your Manners allows the entire family to partake in the classes. And with five fenced acres, the dogs have room to run around, helping to relieve stress.
Connie Skinner started training in 1992, and with her you have learned about canine body language, appropriate play styles and how to work with your dog instead of against your dog. No more rolled up newspapers for Rover.
WINNER: Mind Your Manners Dog Training, 19208 NE 84th Ave., Battle Ground, WA, 98604, 360-693-4503
