Ohhh mr pets!! What would I do without you? I have been going to this store since I moved to Vancouver, and wouldn't even think about going to another pet store.
They carry everything you could need for a dog, and there other sections look pretty stocked too. I have three dogs with sensitive diets, and I always can get the food they need here. As well as helpful products, such as the thunder shirt which has pretty much saved my home from destruction. My one dog has severe separation anxiety and rain (the manager) showed us this fantastic dog shirt. It basically works like a shirt for the dog to feel like a straight jacket does to humans. Ever since owning the jacket my dog no longer suffers.
The staff here are always friendly and go out of there way to help you. Rain who I mentioned earlier, is the manager is awesome. She gets to know your pets, and is great at picking out new products for my dogs. What else can I say, I love mr pets!! -

Nice staff, good prices, and a wide variety of cat stuff, which can sometimes be hard to find.
Any time I've asked for advice, including when my kitty had 6 more kitties, they were helpful and knowledgeable, and never try to upsell me on things, which I appreciate. Open decent hours, which can sometimes be an issue on the drive.
Thank for being there, Mr. Pets! -

Living right by Mr. Pet's is awesome! I am a bit of a fussy cat mom and my cat is a bit of a fussy princess- we could definitely be the subject of a nature vs. nurture debate- so i used to have to go to two different stores to get everything i needed for her... but not anymore! They have tons of super high quality brands, some of which i'd never seen in any other stores and have since sworn by!
I should tell you, i'm the sort of person who shudders at the thought of feeding any pet the dried, cheap crap you can buy at Safeway. I mean, if i'm going to eat healthy (instead of eating a 3kg wheel of brie cheese, which is what i'd rather be doing) then goddammit, my cat is going to eat healthy too. You can buy cheaper cat food at Safeway, but then again, you can also buy Kraft dinner at Safeway. Buying your pet food from Mr. Pet's is like you choosing to buy from Whole Foods rather than Buy Low!
Aside from a really great selection of healthy pet foods and natural health care, Mr. Pet's also has super great staff! Everyone there is really friendly, and recently one of the staff and i had a serious discussion about how sometimes wet cat food actually smells really good when you're hungry. I think one star in this review comes entirely from her not backing away when that topic of conversation came up. -

If you are looking for a pet shop that sells tiaras this is NOT for you. they lured me in with a coupon on the back of my Safeway bill, and I am glad I did

Decent selection, reasonable prices and knowledgeable staff who seem to really care about animals. My only gripe is every time I go in there they are out of my rabbit's bedding in the size I always buy (Most likely due to it's popularity) but the last time I was in there the sales lady who helped me suggested I buy the obscenely huge bag, which in the end did save me money. I would recommend this place to anyone who has pets and I usually go out of my way to come here rather than any other pet store.

More than just fluff. (i.e.- Paris Hilton might get Tinkerbell a collar here, but there's no designer puppy sweaters!)
One of my dogs has a sore spot on his neck from where his old collar was rubbing. So after years of wearing his blue collar out, it was time for a new one. I was kind of thinking about a green one.
I was driving north on Commercial and saw this store, even from outside, it was easy to see a large selection of collars and leashes that they have hanging up on the wall. So the next I returned. Oh my gosh- forget a green collar! They had so many cute designs. I deliberated over a burgundy color with a dog skull n bones print or a light blue with dogs and fire hydrants on it. (Went with the blue- on a coin toss.)
The selection was great, I even got a new collar for my other dog. She got a brightly striped collar- pink, yellow, orange, green... Looks like a stick of Fresh Stripe gum.
In addition to the great collar/leash array, there are a lot of options for other pets. Do you need live crickets to feed to your strange reptilian pet? You can get it here.
Friendly staff- on first-name basis with some of the regulars. -

i went to this store when my local store was sold out of a medication i needed for one of my fish ... the store was huge, clean, organized, lots of unique items i have not seen any where else ... i mean where else can you find a selection of clothes for ferrets, made me want to buy a ferret just seeing how cute they looked :O) the prices were great (the medication i bought was $16.99 at my local fish store and $10.99 at mr. pets), the fish tanks looked well maintained and they carry aquaflora plants !!! very awesome plants for an excellent price ... the three staff members i dealt with were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable ... i will definitely be shopping there again
