Pet Valu is Canada's largest pet specialty retailer, operating more than 800 neighbourhood stores across the country. Founded in 1976 with a single store in Toronto, the company has grown over more than 40 years into a national chain, with each location stocking over 7,000 products. Its stores serve customers with pets of all kinds - furry, feathered, and scaled - through every stage of a pet's life.
Retail operations combine product sales with in-store services. Stores carry premium and super premium pet foods alongside holistic nutrition options, as well as award-winning proprietary brands sold exclusively through Pet Valu. Service work includes pet grooming performed by team members trained as pet experts and self-serve or assisted dog wash stations. Locations also host in-store pet adoption events.
Team members are positioned as pet experts who take time to answer customer questions and listen to concerns. The company describes its role in Canadian communities as community-oriented and mission-driven, with an emphasis on the bond between people and their pets and responsibility toward the animals in its customers' care.
