Animates Pet Stores

Nestled in the heart of Bay of Plenty, Animates Pet Stores has been a cherished cornerstone of our pet-loving community for many decades, offering more than just a store – we're a sanctuary for pets and their dedicated owners. Our humble beginnings trace back to the 1980s, when a passionate pet enthusiast recognized the need for a space that not only catered to our beloved animals' needs but also fostered a deep connection between pets and their families. Since then, we have grown from a small, family-run business into a thriving pet haven that continues to nurture this bond with every visit. At Animates Pet Stores, we pride ourselves on being more than just a typical pet shop. We offer an extensive range of top-quality pet food, treats, collars, and other essentials to keep your pets happy and healthy. But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to providing unique experiences that go beyond the everyday shopping trip. For instance, our DIY Dog Wash station invites furry friends and their owners to indulge in a refreshing, stress-free bathing experience. Meanwhile, our Puppy Preschool offers structured lessons designed to teach your young canine companion essential socialization skills, all while providing a fun, engaging atmosphere for them to thrive in. When unexpected health issues arise, we're here to support you and your pet every step of the way. Our partnership with Vetcare ensures that our valued customers have access to top-notch veterinary care when they need it most. And through our Loyalty Programme, Petpoints, customers can earn points on their purchases that add up to exclusive rewards and special offers. Our team is made up of passionate pet lovers who genuinely care about the wellbeing and happiness of every animal that walks through our doors. We're more than happy to share our wealth of knowledge with you, answer any questions you may have, or simply provide a friendly ear to chat about your pets. Animates Pet Stores is not just a pet store – it's a community hub where pets and their families come together to learn, grow, and create lasting memories. Whether you're a seasoned pet parent or just starting out on this incredible journey, we invite you to become a part of our extended family here at Animates Pet Stores. Stop by today, say hello to our friendly team, and discover why we've been Bay of Plenty's go-to destination for all things pets since the 1980s!
