5 Local Pet Supply Stores To Spoil Your WNY Pet This Weekend

Pet owners know that they constantly need new things for their pets. Whether it's treats for the dog, kitty litter for the cat, food for the fish, or crickets for their bearded dragon, it's like finding gold when you find a pet store that has the things you need at an affordable price.

It's all about supporting local

When a new national brand store comes to town, it's always exciting to think that they're going to have more than the little guy. But in my opinion, that's rarely the case. Especially when it comes to pets, most of the local stores have more of what you need for your pet, and when they don't have it, they will often go out of their way to get it for you.

Plus, these are the people who support the community. They go to church with you. You see them in the grocery store and out at restaurants. When you shop at their stores, you're keeping money in your community instead of lining some big CEO's pocket.

You get that hometown experience

When you shop at most of these local stores, you'll get an experience that you likely won't get in the bigger stores. Many of them will allow you to bring your pet into the store with you. They'll be able to pick out their own treats and get to meet the workers. They might even get to know your pet's name if you bring them in enough.

They can get to know what your pet likes and what they don't, and even suggest things to you that you might not think of for them. There are TONS of great places to check out in Western New York.  Here are just a few.
