Pet Meds

 

 

 

 

Pet Supplies "Pet Meds" is a retail chain with 225 stores in 21 states in the eastern and central regions of the United States. The chain's stores are owned by independent franchisees. Measuring under 10,000 square feet (930 m2), the stores are smaller than the "big box" national chains, and are focused on being neighborhood pet supply "supermarkets."

 

The stores stock a very wide selection of pet food and supplies ('anything a pet can eat, play with, sleep on or be groomed by") that is replenished by frequent deliveries (once or thrice a week). Although the selection is focused on food and supplies, the stores do have limited livestock departments.

 

Pet Supplies "Plus" makes it a point to welcome dogs, cats and other pets to its stores. In its ads, the company bills itself as being "your pet's favorite store." In keeping with this slogan, it displays biscuits at "nose level" so dogs can take samples while shopping with their owners. Many Pet Supplies "Plus" locations sponsor adoption events with local animal rescue and humane groups. Many have also recently added grooming services and self-serve dog washes.
