G & E Pharmacy

This place is fantastic! Yes, they are a warehouse. No, you are not going to walk in and it will look all spic and span like Pet Smart or PJ's Pets. However, none of this will matter when you take a look around and realize that they charge very great prices for a lot of the same products found at pet stores around Edmonton.
They do not just carry dog and cat supplies, though they seem to specialize greatly in dogs (go figure). They do have also a lot of horse supplies, and a small section each for small animals, and birds. As also indicated by the word "pharmacy" in their name, they have a pet pharmacy in the back left-hand corner of the building. Gone are the days where you have to go get vaccines for $80 - $125 at the vet! A one-year 5-way vaccine for dogs here costs $12! Cat vaccines are also reasonable with a one-year 4-way being the affordable cost of $8.
Another favorite would be the Horizon Legacy dog food, $55 for a 30 lb. bag here, where it'll cost you $70+ at Pet Planet (only other place it's carried in Edmonton that I know of). Lots of holistic pet treats are another plus! My dog loves the "carrot cake" Mother Earth treats, and the Vitalife dried duck and dried chicken tenders. They have giant bully sticks that are like 20" long for $8, where I have paid $8 for 6" ones elsewhere.
Although Pet Smart just started carrying the Oxbow brand for small pets this past week or so, G&E was carrying it long before them, and their prices are more reasonable! Living World water bottles are excellently priced, as are their rodent wheels and Zupreem chinchilla food. I would recommend that chinchilla owners steer clear of the Mazuri chinchlila food (because it has molasses), but the Zupreem is wonderful, and at the very low, low price of $8.25 a bag. They also carry the Sunseed degu diet for $9, versus the $11 at PJ's or the $14 at Paradise Pet Centre all the way in St. Albert.
There is not one item sold in this entire store that I've compared to an identical item at another store where it didn't come out cheaper. They are fantastic, and I will go back there again and again.

This is a great place to go and get anything you need for your pet. They have a pharmacy here where you can get anything needed for your sick little guy or girl. I even bought my dogs annual shots from here, which saved me a lot of money.
The staff here are very helpful. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that some are veterinarians or breeders (NOTE: I do not know if they are or not, they just seem very knowledgeable).
You can bring your pets into this store. Our dog had an accident in here, and one of the sales people offered to clean it up. I offered and said he didn't need to worry about it, but he insisted. We felt bad, but he told us not to worry and that it happened all the time. This is probably why they have concrete floors!
They sell all kinds of pet food, pet accessories, toys, kennels, travelling kennels, clothing, beds etc. Anything you need for your dog can be found here!
And the price is pretty good too. We bought a travel kennel for our dog and it only cost $30. The quality was a little shady, but we figured our boxer would only be in it a couple times a year.
Well.. that didn't happen. He burst through the mesh door the first time he went into it. I wish that the staff had told me that it was not the greatest quality. We had our dog in the store, so it was clear how strong he was by the strength he pulled on the leash.
Oh well. This was my only had experience with G&E and I will be back again and again.

I like this store very much, and thankful to my mom's friend to recommended it to me in the first place.
I will start off by saying this place has very inconvenient hours: they close early on week days, and are closed on Sundays, so the only time left to shop here is on Saturdays. And even then they close at 4, I believe.
Other than that, this store is great. Even though it is a pharmacy, these guys sell not only medicine (and lots of it) but also dog and cat food, cat litter, pet fashions and toys. On the shelves, there are enormous, gigantic bags with dry dog food by well known brands such as Eukanuba as well as organic dry food by less known brands. Apparently, these huge bags are good bang for your buck as I have seen many people buy two or three bags at a time.
The pharmacy section which occupies the left side of the store is nicely stocked. Here you will shampoos, flea collars, mouth care products, and other more serious medicines. Some are sold over the counter, others are by prescription only.
I shop at G&E for my cat. We buy dry and canned food, litter, and occasional ear cleaner. I find that people working here are very helpful. Whenever I am looking for a product that turns out to be sold out, sales associates put my name down and contact me once the product is in stock again.

G&E is like a warehouse pet store. They don't do fish or lizards, but they do specialize in cats and dogs. Tons of toys for your furry friend. Aisles upon aisles of pet supplies. This is like the Wal-Mart for dogs and cats. The prices are good, as they always advertise out front for 30-lb bags of dog chow. There's a little pharmacy in the back in case you need medications for your animals and I think they may also have veterinarians on staff. My boyfriend and I shopped here because he needed a syringe to put some drugs in his fish tank. They had the syringe but not the medicine he was looking for. This is not the most beautiful, clean store. It's a warehouse and feels like one. But it's likely got what you need.
