Angel Duratti, Angel's Pet World

Throughout her life, Angel Duratti has had plenty of pets. But she wasn't allowed to have any as a kid, even though she loved animals. Once she and her husband Al got their first dog together, Angel's love of pets grew to a new level — and the couple eventually opened Angel's Pet World in Hudson.

More than 20 years since opening the pet store, Angel has learned a lot about running a pet store and has developed great relationships with many pet owners in the area. It's easy to see her passion for animals, her customers, and her employees — a passion that has continued to stay strong since the first day she opened Angel's Pet World. On this week's episode of St. Croix Stories, Angel joins to share more about how the store has evolved over the years, discusses partnerships she's developed with adoption groups like Coco's Heart Dog Rescue, and shares why she thinks pets hold such a special place in people's lives.

If you're a pet owner and are interested in checking out Angel's Pet World, you can find locations on Second Street in Hudson and on North Main Street in River Falls.
