We’re still not sure what’s next, but still forever grateful for your support.
Your friendly neighbourhood pet supply. Only the best in the bowl ... since 2014. Proud to call the ByWard Market our home. Downtown Ottawa’s pet supply.
(54)
Follow your instincts ...
We’re still not sure what’s next, but still forever grateful for your support.
We had a plan, but plans change.
Been a month since we closed the doors.
Through to 2023…
A few years into living in a world turned upside down, some unexpected challenges stuck around.

Almost 9 yrs in the ByWard Market…
This little-shop-that-could — well she did, and she did some good.

Since 2014…
Always excited to be working and growing, we knew it wasn’t going to be easy.
#613
WE’RE MOVING…
exclusively online!
You may have heard already - and now is your chance to help us lighten the load for the final bits of the move!
Use code : 2023 - discount applies at checkout.
Yes, this means growing pains…or shrinking pains, or just general feelings of distaste for change - but it’s 2023 folks, and we had to find some new grooves.
Thanks for your support!

You may have noticed…
We are going through some changes!
(Pssst- we will be closed next week nov.22-26)
When we opened over 8yrs ago, things were very different in the pet world - brands, product quality, distribution, availability, demographic, online shopping, etc.
We plugged away during the pandemic, a holiday covid-closure, trucker protests, break-ins, ownership changes , and so on…
FINALLY we had a chance to revamp the website - check it out.
We will update + share on there as much as we can, just like on our socials.
Still some things to tweak and add/remove.
…And as always, we appreciate your support and understanding while we continue to strive to be one of the top shops for your pets.
After all, they’re the ones we do it for.
✌️ ❤️ 🐾

Full freezers, full bellies. 😋 Raw Performance is just one of our many awesome brands - their ‘Supreme’ box is 1 of 6 of their Variety Boxes we have in stock. We also have the rest of their line as heavily stocked as we can! Variety is the key - we can’t seem to say it enough these days. Unless your pet has confirmed intolerances or allergies - offering a variety and/or rotation in their diet and treat life is best practice. WHY? : variety of nutrients, help build gut strength, promote healthy absorption/digestion, keep them interested, learn about your pets health and preferences (yes, they like some things more than others)… to name a few reasons… Want to know more about @rawperformancedogfood , come by or check em out online !
Residual heat from our anniversary wknd? … ahem, we meant the heat wave 😎🔥 😅 We tested the K&H Cooling Cot - Buck clearrrly loves the packaging BUT everyone has slept on the cool cot since, even @little.jimjim ! We’re stocked up on cooling mats + beds + cots. Get ‘em before their prices go up! Stay cool, stay tuned in for reopening details! #beastsof613 #dogsofottawa #catsofottawa #ottawadogs #ottawacats #woof #meow #bywardmarket #eatwelltreatoften #welldressed #doglifestyle #catlifestyle #dogmom #dogdad #catlady #cricketandco #downtowndogs #myottawa #yow #madeincanada #madeinontario #petshoplife #petshopdiaries #petsupply #petlove #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #spreadlove #tellyourfriends
A cute + bittersweet #feelgoodfriday post. A few weeks ago we lost our Jamaican Patty. 💛 Bred for food, but denied by our snake. JP enjoyed the rest of his short + sweet life with us running around and snacking on all the good snacks. We didn’t think such a teeny tiny guy could make such an impression, but the office is quieter without his antics. RIP little buddy. Thank you for making #freakyfridays less freaky 🥰
#feastsandbeasts is back - this week : EGGS ! 🥚🥚🥚 We love them, and so do the doggos! We use them RAW as another form of protein and a way to help support a healthy coat. They’re a great source of Vitamin A, B12, Riboflavin, Iron, Selenium, Fatty Acids. 😋 Shells are safe too AND full of more vitamins and calcium. We always recommend fresh & chemical free !
