With so many different pet foods and supplies on the market it can be tricky finding the right one for your pet. Many of us opt for brands we know without really understanding what’s in the food, and finding knowledgeable pet-savvy staff at grocery stores isn’t always possible so we don’t get the answers we need about what’s right for our animals. That’s why Mark Bickley decided to open up Mark’s Pet Stop on Commercial Drive.
“I used to live just on 4th and when I used to jog through the neighbourhood with my dog it would be alive with animals—people walking their dogs, cats crossing our path—so I knew the area was full of animals,” Mark explains. “When I had to buy my dog high quality food, I’d have to drive somewhere to get it and a lot of people in this neighbourhood don’t drive. So I thought, where are they getting their food?”
Mark expanded his own knowledge through talking to small pet shop owners and opened up to provide that one-on-one experience and help educate people about their pets.
Mark and his staff are knowledgeable, friendly and have all the right items for sale. Our cats are happy with their products.. so we are happy! Thank you Mark and staff for your great customer service.
