Annex Pet Supplies

Great shop, decent selection and staff. Don’t forget to pet coconut when you come to visit.
Tip: There’s a door around back if you end up parking behind the store!

This place is the shit. As in RAD.
After trying to catch my local neighbourhood pet supply store two seconds before it closed — I got there 5 minutes late, to the lights off/​door locked/​staff gone — I zipped over to Annex Pet Supplies. It was the next closest pet store I could think of, and though I didn’t know its hours on that particular day in desperation I decided to give it a go. I had slacked on going out previously for no apparent reason, and my cats would surely die if I didn’t succeed in getting them food (and I really didn’t want to settle for that Whiskas aka Cat McDonald’s bullshit). I probably arrived at this place 10 minutes after their close — maybe more, maybe less — and I guess I looked sufficiently desperate or something, but the staff unlocked the door for me! She asked if I needed to just get food and I was like YES PLEASE OR MY CATS WILL DIE and she was like KAY GREAT COME IN!!!
Actually just kidding I didn’t need to beg or convince her at all, she was more than happy to ring me up. I knew exactly what I wanted to get (and apparently the bag even came w/​a free can of wet food) and she also hooked me up with a frequent shoppers card which means the 10^th bag of cat food I would get free. That she bothered to unlock the door to let my unorganized ass in and then to be sweet and thorough enough to even hook me up with a discount card was really above and beyond. I get the impression that this place and the people who work there really care, it may be pet store retail but I feel like these folks dig animals and genuinely want to help.
I’m going to be making this my regular shopping spot from now on!

Great neighbourhood pet supply store. Stocks top quality necessities like food, litter and treats, no junk food here. Staff are top notch and offer excellent service and advice. Unlike big chain pet stores, that are actually just extensions of pet food suppliers, you will get honest and unbiased recommendations about the products they carry.
