I've been rather sick of the popular pet store chains in my area (Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario). The quality and customer service isn't always helpful, and the wide selection of food (most of which is full of garbage and dreaded by-products) has always confused me. So many of the products, both food and litter, I have been looking for have not been found.
About a month ago a new pet-store opened up by our place called Pet Planet. At first I thought it was a small, local pet store. I decided to check it out... and, pardon my french, but holy CRAP is the selection amazing.
First off, I haven't been able to find a single place in town that sells Orijen dry food. This store has about 3 different sizes of bags of this food! Two flavours! And for dogs as well! The wet food selection? Absolutely NO sign of meat by-products! Zero. Zilch. They have Natural Balance, Almo Nature, and plenty others to dig through. They also have SWheat kitty litter in various sizes as well as other healthy non-clay litter. The customer service is excepional. I threw question after question after question at the lady I spoke with and she knew exactly what she was talking about. Very friendly too.
They're primarily out of Alberta, Canada. I think some stores in Calgary and others in the area surrounding. They are expanding into Ontario now, but I'm not sure if there are other stores in the province besides here in K-W. I would look at your area on Google maps and do a search for Pet Planet.
I hope everyone finds what their kitties need and deserve! Good hunting!
