What a cute little shop raising money for Parachutes for Pets! A good selection of accessories for dogs and cats. Nice staff too! I picked up 2 sweaters, 2 winter coats, and a set of booties. So happy to support a local rescue! read more

Fairplay Pet Supply

I was on a quest to find a new food for my dog since my usual isn't coming across the border…read moreanymore, so Fairplay was a new choice for me. The store is huge! They have a great variety of toys, more than other premium stores I have been too. There is a good selection of leashes and collars. They have a great stock of bones and bulk treats. I got a great deal on 2 massive rawhide bones for $10! They are well stocked with dry and wet foods, although I didn't see any raw food. They had a huge section for cats too! No one initially asked to help me, so I looked at the dog food and grabbed one I thought would be good. When I went to the counter the lady asked if I found everything I was looking for. I told her what I was looking for and asked if the food I had chosen was good. She said it was, but suggested another food since my dog has a sensitive stomach. She also suggested a probiotic powder that you can put on your dogs food, she uses it for her dog. I had never heard of the food she suggested or the powder but together they sounded like what I needed. I was very happy with the overall selection that Fairplay offers! The prices seemed to be decent for toys, treats and food. I will definitely return to Fairplay for my pet supply needs!
A great store packed to the rafters with a large variety of higher end and hard-to-find food and…read moreaccessories for you cat or dog (aww, come on, you know they're worth it!). They also have an exceptional range of food and dispensers for wild birds. The staff are very present and helpful compared to a big box pet store, without being pushy. Prices are comparable to other stores in town. I feel bad for not having gone here before...they've been in Calgary for over 90 years!

Pet Planet

I stop here a couple times a month to stock up on rabbit supplies - I usually have to go back more…read morethan once as they're often sold out of rabbit food and Timothy Hay - I imagine they don't order huge amounts of rabbit stuff, as rabbits aren't as popular as dogs/cats. (even though rabbits are way better than dogs/cats...) Anywhoo - when they DO have what I need, the prices are fair and the service is great. if they were to start carrying more brands of rabbit / small animal products, (Oxbow brand, etc) they'd get 5 stars!

I've never used their grooming services but they do have a great selection of products and their rewards program (buy certain # of bags get one free) has earned me a couple free bags of food which is nice.

This isn't my favourite of the Pet Planet locations. It could be because it's a little smaller…read morethan most, but I'd rather go to a different locations... I think. It would seem that this particular PP caters mostly to dogs, leaving not much for the cat owners in the area. There are waaay more dog food, treat, toy choices than there are cat stuff. This is unfortunate because I'm such a cat lover. They also seem to carry mostly food. There aren't a whole lot of toys, though there are some. Most, again, are for the pups, and seem to be treats as well as toys. They do have a lots of treats for the animals though, which is nice. This Pet Planet is also a groomers, which is great. It means that you can have your pet prettied up while you buy new food, litter, toys or treats. The staff are just as nice here as anywhere else, and don't hesitate to answer questions or offer a hand. A mediocre Pet Planet in my opinion, but I'm a cat lover so that's why I don't dig the abundance of doggie stuff!

Given my own feeble attempts to shave him, I assumed Pet Planet might fail too. Thankfully, the groomer was able to clip his nails in less than 30 seconds, then efficiently proceeded to execute a lion cut. No fuss, no muss. No scratching or biting like he does with me. After the clippers, she deftly and impressively trimmed the legs with scissors in no time flat. I was in and out in just over half an hour! Dog service is usually slower though, I'll warn you. People usually bring in their pooch at 9am and dogs stay in cages between cutting, shampooing, drying, etc. until the late afternoon. They were are pretty quiet though, bemused by my shorn cat. The cat was relieved to be rid of the fur and so was I...$50 well spent!

Neat freaks need not apply here. The store is literally filled to the rafters with everything (and…read moreanything) dog related. this serves to be both good and bad. It's good in that there is everything you could ever want: from dog frames and nick-knacks, to food and toys, to a bakery and room FILLED with dog treats. To say it's a bit cluttered is one thing - but it's also intriguing to take 10 minutes to poke around and see what is there, like a doggie treasure hunt if you will. The lady who owns it is really friendly and helpful (and you'll always leave with a pocketful for fresh baked treats). I use a food that isn't carried so she always special orders for me which is nice of her. The prices are also a little cheaper than chain stores. I enjoy the quaintness of this overstuffed store as it's local and my dogs enjoy the rabbits out front (and treats inside). April Challenge 8/30

The store is quite big with great selection of exotic creatures, if that's your thing. We came for dog food and a new toy for my dog that will always be my puppy. Had a great selection and we found the dog food we wanted, and a toy my puppy just loves. If you can't find what you looking for your pet this place may have it!! So many unique pet needs for any reptile, fish, rodent, birds, cat, dog needs. I was so lost at looking, watching mesmerized by the creatures. I totally forgot to take pictures!!! -park is okay -clean and very well taken care of -staff friendly and very knowledgeable Had a wonderful time just looking.

The only REAL problem with the entire store is the checkout and the till staff when you want to GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY !! You can go there at peak times with the entire line full or be the only one in the store and have to wait, every , single, time. I've been there and waited while the person on desk #1 will eventually wander back over to it after having a lovely chat with the girl on #3. I was there on Dec 11 and dropped a couple of hundred on dog food and that's how it happened! You will actually feel your life ebbing away and slipping closer to death waiting in that line, its THAT bad. (grin) I don't know if its their system, or the staff training, or the steps in the checkout process, or what, but the waiting in that bloody line is beyond ridiculous. Maybe its deliberate because of all the impulse purchase stuff they have CRAMMED in to the check out aisle. ...... it sure feels that way.

I'm not sure why Yelp felt the need to hide all the positive reviews and leave the negative ones. I'd never been into a global pet foods before moving into the neighbourhood. I have now and I can say that I love it. The staff here are highly knowledgable and really care about your pets. They're willing to go above and beyond to make sure you and your pet is happy. They helped me out with a tricky food situation for my cat and saved me money doing it. They have a great food and litter loyalty program and carry all the brands you could want OR can order them in if by some off chance they don't have the ones you're looking for. From now on, I'll come here for all my pet needs.

The hair was still long and uneven. It was obvious that our dog probably fell from the table and the technican stopped cutting her hair. However, the store denied any wrongdoing or they did not even apologize. We are dog owners of 13+ years and never encounter something so horrible!!! Will NEVER take her to this place again. We will never trust their technicans. Careless behaviour, incompetence and worse of all, they did not apologize or admit wrongdoing.

He was upfront in the store with a wee party hat on..( have to say though I dont like when people dress up animals, but this didnt seem like too big a deal for Alistair) and they were giving away crave cupcakes. There were streamers, Alistair was snuffling away and cheerfully receiving pats from his admirers. So THAT was my introduction to this little place. LIke most mom and pop pet food stores you will find that the prices are higher than at somewhere like Petsmart etc. It is understandable as they dont have the volume of sales. The products they do have though are excellent, wonderful products for your beloved pets. It is clear that the owners of this store love animals and want nothing but the best for thier customers pets. I will admit that I tend to go to Petsmart, but do like to pop in here to pick up a few special treats for my kitties and see Alistair. It is so cool to have a pig in my neighborhood and to go to a piggy birthday party is something that I have for the memory books..

Alli tried to sit again for another treat but his papa was all to savvy. One treat is enough, now don't be a pig about it. PN carries mostly supplies for dogs and cats and the prices there seem quite reasonable, it seems to be a large store and equipped with toys, food as well as a nice section of sleeping accessories for your furry friends. So yes this yelper likes PN and especially her new friend, I just hope he doesn't reject me on FB.
