About us

From Humble Beginnings

Warren County born and raised, our business, like most small businesses, started from humble beginnings. Our journey began several dog ages ago, when Cherrybrook was originally founded and grew to become one of America's most respected sources for products among pet professionals and groomers. Since October 2005, when Claudia and Roy Loomis purchased Cherrybrook, we have built upon that foundation.  We have turned our focus and our experience to serving the needs of pet parents. Our success has enabled us to expand from one to six retail store locations with and focus on holistic wellness and nutrition for the pet community. As our stores continue to evolve and develop their own unique niche in the pet world, it was clear that our stores deserved their own brand identity - and thus, CB Pet Market was born. 

As pet parents, and pet sport enthusiasts, our retail pet supply business, dedicated to nutrition education and wellness is where our passion lies. Our updated branding reflects what we provide to our retail store customers and our dedication to serving their pet's needs. 

About Our Team

Our team members have solid, hands-on pet expertise, as groomers, breeders, handlers, trainers, and as experienced and passionate pet parents. With extensive product knowledge, and product training, our team is always happy to help you make the best choices for your pets. Our team members have pets and have used many of the products we offer in our stores, so they are able to provide first hand recommendations and practical advice.

It was then that Kellie branched out into the world of pet retail. She joined the CB Pet Market family in 2010, managing our Garwood store for its first 10 years of operation.
