At Montego, ‘wholesome goodness’ is valued both in the quality of their nutrition and in the relationships they share with the pets they refer to as family. There is no better feeling than coming home from a long day at work and seeing our fury family wagging their tails and giving us a lick to cheer us up.  These are the unknown heros that deserve recognition.
