Edmonton shops with great gifts for furry companions
If you don’t want your dog or cat to destroy your Christmas tree, you better make sure there are some gifts for Fido and Fluffy underneath the tree. Whether you call them your fur babies or not, picking out gifts for your pets can be a fun but challenging experience – it’s not like they can exactly send Santa a wish list! These Edmonton stores sell toys and treats for your family members covered in fur.
Bone & Biscuit Co
1058 91 St SW, Edmonton, AB T6X 0P2This cute little shop, located in Summerside, is the perfect spot to pick up a unique gift for Fido. They cater mostly to dogs, although they do have a small selection of treats, collars and toys for cats. The biggest draw is the display of (presumably) tasty gourmet treats for puppies, from brands such as Bark Star, Jones Gourmet Dog Chews, Wild Bites, Feel Good Treat Co. and Lucky Dog Biscuits. You’ll also find gorgeous bedding for pets here, so Rover can be just as comfy as you.
Petland
150-3803 Calgary Trail NW, Edmonton, AB T6J 5M8Pet Land is a mecca of toys, food, treats and clothing for almost every kind of pet, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles and other small animals. They stock beds, carriers, tags, grooming supplies and more. Your favourite feline will love their selection of terry plush catnip toys, as well as all the interactive toys. And, if your dog likes to cheer on your favourite team while you watch games, you can get them an Edmonton Oilers or Calgary Flames jersey, sweater, t-shirt or dress.
Bamboo Stockroom
10552A 82 Avenue, Edmonton, AB T6E 2A2While this shop mostly carries stuff for humans (sorry, furry friends!), they do sell some cute catnip toys. I recently bought my cats the most adorable set of handmade catnip pillows from Kitty Kitty Yum Yum, made right here in Edmonton. There were several cute themes to choose from – doughnuts, pizza slices, sausage and perogies, breakfast items, tacos – but I ultimately went with the sushi and gyoza set, figuring that cats and sushi were a sure bet. And, sure enough, my kitties love their organic catnip-filled treats.
PetSmart
3289 Calgary Trail Nw, Edmonton, AB T6J 5X8Whether you want your puppy pal to celebrate Christmas with a reindeer antlers headband, a Santa hat or a sweet red and green bow collar, you’ll find it here – not to mention Christmas sweaters and funny hats for felines, too. They also sell a ton of treats and toys for small animals, reptiles, birds and fish. Treat Polly the parrot to a new activity centre or a heated bird perch and she’ll never stop singing your praises.
MrPets
50-580 St Albert Trail, St Albert, AB T8N 6M9Located in St. Albert, this pet store caters to cats, dogs, fish, birds, small animals and reptiles – they even partner with local rescues to find homes for dogs. They allow pets in the store, so you can bring in your fur babies to pick out their own Christmas presents. Or, you can surprise them with toys and treats from brands such as Hagen and Anipet.
Pet Valu Canada Inc
5127 Mullen Rd Nw, Edmonton, AB T6R 0S9Toys, apparel, bedding, collars, leashes, dishes and grooming supplies – Pet Valu has all of that and more. It’s a great spot to pick up some cuddly pillows for your kitty with a catnip addiction or a plush throw blanket for your golden retriever. The store also stocks supplies for fish, reptiles, birds and other small pets, such as rabbits.
Sadie's Pet Stop
