G&E has come a long way from 20 odd years ago, when I first remember going there. I remember it…read morebeing very dark and absolutely filled to the rafters with stock. Kind of a scary place! It is much better organized and professional-looking now, but it still has everything you could need for most common pets, at a good price. It still lacks signage and one can end up wandering around lost looking for things. Items specific to dogs, for example, are not all in one area but rather in different parts of the store according to the function of the product. The new staff are more helpful in my experience and I find the store has more staff available to deal with higher volumes of customers. I can't speak to their product expertise. They were great the one time we had to exchange something, no problem. They do need another till, the check-out queue is way too long, especially if you're carrying awkward or heavy items. It also impedes customer traffic through the store as the aisles get blocked. I'm glad to have rediscovered the old in a newer, better form, and am happy to support a local business.

What a great store this is! It is deceiving from the outside how big it actually is. If you have…read moreany type of pet/animal, then make sure you stop and check out the wide selection of what they carry. There is also a pharmacist on site that can help any medical supplies that you need as well. If you're looking for dog or cat toys all the way to horse feed, you'll find what you need here, with reasonable prices as well. It is basically your one stop shop for all things animal. It's nice to see such a huge selection under one roof and not having to go to another store for something. The staff is also super friendly and knowledgeable as well. There is a tonne of free parking out front, but just a note, you can only access it directly if you are driving westbound on the sherwood park fwy. If you are trying to access it driving east, you'll have to go to the set of lights and come back as there is a meridian that you can't cross.

I decided to check out the new location on a whim the other day when I needed cat litter and this…read moreseemed like a good opportunity to swing by. Petland is a Canadian company so that's great if you prefer to shop Canadian. There are also signs on any items that are Canadian manufactured which is a great touch. The store is nicely organized, clean and brightly lit. The selection is really nice. I found it easy to find what I was looking for. Definitely sign up for the pets club since the discounts on items are worth it. It does seem pricier than some other stores - but if you don't mind paying a dollar or two more to support Canadian this is definitely worth checking out.

This store is new to the neighborhood and yet already staffed with fresh, smiling faces eager to…read morehelp with details on potential pet ownership. I found myself succumbing to the urge to cuddle with some furry little animal and so on a whim, entered Petland. I was able to make friends with an adorable hedgehog and a cute and squeaky guinea pig. (I had no idea that guinea pigs actually do this oink-whistle thing!!) Exploring options to find a pet companion for my rabbit, I was happy to find the employees at Petland genuinely interested in the best solution for both my home, my rabbit and the potential new pet. I left the store on my first visit with a few brochures on guinea pigs and hedgehogs trying to distinguish which might be better suited for our family. On the second visit (another of many...it's right by a grocery store!! How can I resist going in there and browsing cuteness?!), I fell in love with a little black rascal of a rabbit who I thought would be the perfect friend for my rabbit and not just because they are the same color - he just had some spunky characteristics that I liked. I was allowed to hold him, pet him and when I inquired as to how I would go about with the introduction to my rabbit (for territorial reasons) I was informed they had a neutral room just for that. So, we returned the next day with our little rabbit Gretchen, excited to have her meet this potential new roomie and after much awkwardness on my part watching her unexpectedly hump the snot out of this poor rabbit's face, back, haunch -- all of it! -- I realized maybe this little guy wasn't a guy since he was failing miserably at establishing any dominance. Sadly confirming it was a female, (not ideal for our desired pet gender schematic), we ended up deciding not to take the rabbit. I found the staff were still more than courteous despite the time they spent helping us and at the end of their shifts. (we came in after 8:30 both times and they close at 9pm) A special shout out to the Store Manager, Kaelen Humphreys, who was very patient throughout the whole decision-making process. We will definitely be returning to this location for other pet related items such as fish supplies, fish tank stuff, fish, and probably rabbit chew toys, etc. Also, I noticed all the animal areas, every time I have visited the store, are exceptionally clean and the animals don't look depressed or anything. I think they get a lot of love from the staff which is nice to know.
