Musician. Food lover. Animal Activist. The Urban Pet’s General Manager Jonathan Elliott’s passions reflect the diversity and eclectic style of the Urban Pet L.A. community. Since his arrival in Hollywood in 2002, the Washington D.C. native has continued to pursue a music career and a love of cooking alongside his love for animals, an effort that led him to the Beverly Boulevard location. When Sarah, his now fiancée, rescued two street cats and brought him to The Urban Pet for supplies, Jonathan was enticed by the animal-friendly atmosphere and Urban Pet staff – and applied to work at the Silver Lake Store.

Since then, Jonathan’s seven years of experience at Urban Pet has provided him with a formidable expertise in the animal supply business, specifically animal nutrition. Learning about and experiencing first hand the health benefits of feeding animals a premium quality diet has inspired him to spread the awareness of the importance of optimal pet nutrition. On any given day at any of Urban Pet’s four locations, you’ll find Jonathan speaking to nutrition reps, buyers and talking to customers, and educating them about the benefits of a whole food diet.
