WELCOME!
Coming from an event background we knew we wanted to make our store stand out and give our people more than just dog and cat food.
We want your dog to get excited when they pull into the parking lot; we want YOU to get excited when you pull into the parking lot!
We offer mini events at our Cadboro Bay location, amazing art installations, dog vending machine you can hit up if we are closed and a free (warm water) community dog wash!
As the producers of the award-winning festival Pet-A-Palooza™ we had to pivot and this was the perfect opportunity for us to do it!
We founded Pet-A-Palooza™ in 2011 - since then, the event has grown to be the West Coast’s largest pet festival. We currently host events in Calgary, Victoria, Vancouver, Scottsdale and California. With the event industry taking an abrupt hit during the pandemic we decided to turn lemons into lemonade, and finally open the store we've been talking about for years. All we needed was the perfect location with an amazing community of pet lovers and access to the best products on the market - we found them ALL in Cadboro Bay!
We see over 100,000 animal lovers annually at our events and work with over 400 pet related companies across North America from products and services to retailers and specialty products. We continue to have our finger on the pulse of industry trends for the coming year and will showcase the best products on the market at The Pet Store.
Pet-A-Palooza™ was awarded best festival in the city 2 years in a row.
