Pet Stores

Your local pet store is more than just the place to go to buy food and supplies for your pet. Pet stores around the country offer a number of other services, such as grooming, obedience classes, adoptions, overnight boarding, in store or at-home daily pet care, pet insurance, pet photography, vaccination clinics, and more. Many pet stores also sell small animals, such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, birds, snakes, lizards, or fish. Not all pet stores have animals for sale, so it's important to call ahead to see if the animal you are searching for is available.

If you have recently adopted or purchased an animal, getting acquainted with your closest pet store is always a good idea, as you will be spending a lot of time there in the years ahead. Whether you choose to shop at large chain stores, such as PETCO or PetSmart, or you'd rather support the mom-and-pop shop down the street, you can be certain you will find all the supplies you'll need to be a great pet owner!
