Your Trusted Pet Nutrition Partner in Alexandria
Nature's Nibbles was founded in 2005 by Chris and Anne Gabriel in Arlington, Virginia, with the belief that pets deserve nutrition reflecting their role as family members. Initially an online delivery service, the business expanded to a brick-and-mortar store in Del Ray in 2006. Over time, the Gabriels integrated sustainability practices, offering eco-friendly products for pets and humans. After Anne's cancer diagnosis in 2018, the couple prioritized organic and non-toxic products, opening a second location in Hollin Hall to serve broader community needs. The Del Ray store transitioned online in 2022, while the Hollin Hall location continues offering premium pet food, locally sourced groceries, and gift items.Our team specializes in pet nutrition, with Chris dedicating over 20 years to researching solutions for common pet health issues. We emphasize reducing environmental impact through sustainable practices like recycling and offering non-toxic product lines. Our delivery service covers Alexandria and surrounding areas, with flexible pickup options. As a woman-owned business, we remain committed to providing expert guidance and high-quality products that benefit pets, people, and the planet.
