Deerpoint Plaza, Calgary Pet Planet's First Store Opened November 1996

Pet Planet's guiding principle includes the physical and mental health of domestic animals. The pillars of the company's success have remained its focus on education as well as the Animal Ambassadors they employ. These individuals carry an unparalleled enthusiasm for the mission of the company. Educating the public about domestic animal issues is a number one priority. Pet Planet's mission is to promote and aid in the proper integration of pets into their human world to reduce the number of pound surrenders due to temperament or health problems in the animals. If everyone could experience how emotionally satisfying it is to bring an animal into his family and have that animal become such an integral part of their lives, Pet Planet's ultimate mission would be realized. The bond between a properly integrated animal and its family is a treasure.

Pet Planet advocates responsible pet acquisition and guardianship. It is important for families to research responsible breeders and their breeding practices, as well as research the adoption option when considering adding a pet to their clan. Pet Planet is also an advocate for adoption and supports many rescue foundations and societies in their efforts to foster and place unwanted animals. Pet Planet does not sell live animals in their stores and encourages the public to thoroughly research those animals sold via the retail channel.

An important component of Pet Planet's concept is our focus on animal nutrition. On a daily basis, Pet Planet Animal Ambassadors spend much of their time discussing and educating customers on the benefits of premium pet food. What is the difference between premium pet food and the food available in grocery or mass retail outlets? Premium quality pet food and our understanding of what is important for our beloved friends has come a long way. Just as our understanding of human nutrition, natural ingredients versus chemical ingredients, and foods that cause sensitive reactions has changed how we buy food for our families, so has our understanding of pet food requirements changed how we feed our pets.

Our pets today have acquired many human health problems such as allergies, skin conditions and cancer. Health problems and behavioral problems in our pets can stem from poor nutrition. A highly digestible pet food that uses premium quality ingredients will give your pets the solid nutritional foundation they need to live a long and healthy life. When you consider how their presence enriches your life and your home, you will agree they deserve to be offered the best food and care available.

Superior nutrition, exercise, regular veterinary care and love are the keys to your pet's long and happy life. Oh yes, and regular visits to your local Pet Planet - whether it is for food, a treat, grooming, daycare or training! Pet Planet is a proudly Canadian company and we thank you for your support.
