    The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, helped me out a lot. I forgot their names but the two people who worked the closing shift tonight were excellent! I'll definitely be coming back.

    Quirky location and sometimes inept staff, which I don’t mind when I have the time. Save yourself aggravation otherwise and go south to the friendly, well-managed Merivale one.

    Staff is great 👍 plus my cat can't eat any seafood they always make sure the food has none for me

    Very good, helpful staff! They love when Rico visits. He does get spoiled. Gotta love senior discount the last Thursday of each month. Huge variety in the store, especially with Canada's Acana, which my dog loves.

    Ordered a cat tree online for in-store pickup, when I arrived I noticed that same item was advertised for over 30% off as an "in-store special". I asked for a price adjustment, staff seemed confused, telling me they thought the offer was "expired" and that I would need to follow up with the manager the next day. I called today, and was again told to call the next day for the manager. In legal terms, the Competition Act states that retailers cannot overcharge higher than the listed price. I'll stick to the Merivale location.

    Staff was very helpful, I had been looking for a specific toy for my cat. They had some so I bought 2.

    Outstanding, helpful staff at this location. Thanks so much!

    Incredible staff - honoured a mispriced item and saved me $20 on the purchase price of a rain jacket for my dog. They also made a huge effort to find the correct size, traveling to another location to pick it up. I had the right size jacket it my hands in less than 30 minutes. Amazing service!

  • 5/5 R. A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice staff and good knowledge of the products

  • 1/5 Lauren D. 1 year ago on Google
    Showed up at location twelve minutes before closing and the staff had already locked the doors and would not let customers in. Sadly, you can't rely on their posted hours of operation.

  • 5/5 Sarah 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly and accommodating staff! Store was clean and well-stocked.

  • 5/5 Vincent C. 1 year ago on Google
    Kerry helped me today and was absolutely lovely! Very kind, helpful and easily guided me to the best option for my daily doggy needs! I come here often and the staff are generally quite good, and they are almost always stocked, and never takes too long in line!

  • 5/5 Drew G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great time there and helped us pick a great cat tower. Thank you

  • 1/5 Alysha D. 1 year ago on Google
    Looking for my status while I’ve been there for 8-9 years. Now the past 5 months asking to prove status… lol if it’s on file it’s on file I’ve provided my information and card when opening the account. My skin is white so I must have my card? Years of service never going back Other locations are better than Richmond road

  • 1/5 Julie 1 year ago on Google
    Inconveniently located in the mall, but you can't access it from the mall. Terrible return policy, at this point every major store chain can look for transactions by the card number, but not PetValu. If you have no receipt, forget about a return

  • 5/5 Danika M. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff is always friendly. Good selection of cat food

  • 5/5 Dan K. 7 years ago on Google
    Very knowledgeable staff and always happy to help. Large variety of food, especially for dogs and cats. Helped find a solution to my dogs itchy spots! They also do pet grooming here and have a wonderful groomer!

  • 5/5 Sameer P. 6 years ago on Google
    Very knowledgeable staff! They were a great help when I adopted my first dog, found me the exact food I was looking for and various other essentials. This is a much smaller store so you’re guaranteed to find the help you’re looking for compared to other big chain stores where you need to search all over the store for a sales rep. Highly recommend this location!

  • 2/5 Montes Eugenia V. 2 years ago on Google
    They show a few items in there website and I stop to look and they didn't even have 25% of advertise. Staff that day were very disappointed

  • 3/5 Kourtney 2 years ago on Google
    Although the staff memeber had a hard time understanding what I was looking for, the store was fully stocked with everything I needed and then some. We eventually figured it all out and I was able to get everything.

  • 5/5 Jonathan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly service, plenty of options, clean and organized. One of my faves ^_^

  • 5/5 Brendan B. 2 years ago on Google
    Extremely helpful and knowledgeable sales associates, very accomodating with returns. Took the time to explain the dietary needs of my puppy and helped find a food perfect for her. Highly recommended

  • 4/5 Amanda B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice clean store. Friendly staff. Had all the items I usually buy at an East end store but I've moved to west end. A shame about their parking lot. Hope it doesn't last long.

  • 4/5 Christian S. 4 years ago on Google
    Staff was very polite and friendly and they had exactly what I needed a bigger dog collar

  • 4/5 Kasey C. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff are friendly, curbside pickup was a breeze.

  • 5/5 Nicolas P. 6 years ago on Google
    Great place tightly packed with lots of pet supplies. A green parrot is actually living there!

  • 5/5 SALT W. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing staff! They always have a good selection of treats for our dog. One of the ladies that works there even suggested a certain dog hospital when our puppy was feeling sick and I was completely blown away by the service I received.

  • 5/5 Jack M. 3 years ago on Google
    They were very helpful in getting what I needed for curb side pickup.

  • 4/5 hhg 3. 3 years ago on Google
    Large inventory, friendly staff. I prefer to support this chain of stores over PSmart

  • 5/5 Timothy K. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place. Adopted this bad boy!

😐 I love this store so much, but my biggest gripe with it is that the employees are frequently very loud in the back reptile area. I'm all for friendly banter at work, and employees feeling comfortable working, but sometimes it makes it hard to focus and think about what you might need. They are often...

👍👍 Awesome service!! I’ve been looking for a particular high visibility vest, pet circus had it but doesn’t ship. I called, within minutes I was told they would ship to me since it was about the price of a delivery! I will definitely stop by if/when I’m in the Ottawa area, Finn Thanks you! 🥰
