Guardianship

Changing the way we view, treat, and respect our animal companions.

Just like our customers, we are Guardians that want the longest, happiest, and healthiest life for all the pets we love.

At Pet Planet, we define Guardianship as a simple series of promises that are put into action when caring for a pet. Here are our promises:

I will make a lifetime commitment to my pets.

I will never give up on my pet, no matter what.

I will ensure that my pet eats nutritious food, gets fresh water, and has plenty of exercise.

I will choose safe and chemical-free products for my home.

I will always be gentle and compassionate.

I will take care of my pet’s physical and emotional needs.

If I see an animal in danger, I will do my best to help.

Love them unconditionally

We're a Different Kind of Retailer

At Pet Planet, we want to know about you and your pet.

So, we ask questions. Our questions help to get to know you and your favourite furry friend, which, in turn, allows us to help you make the best choices that not only help your pet thrive, but stays within your means and lifestyle.

Questions of Your Own?

It’s a loaded question – at Pet Planet, we’re proud to offer safe and trusted options that we have extensively researched. This includes learning about manufacturing processes, where the ingredients are sourced, ingredient quality, even the ingredient inclusions themselves as part of our Certificate of Trust program.

So, in short, we consider the foods offered in our stores as “good”. To determine the best food for your pet however, will depend on several things. Things like – your pet’s life stage, are there any allergies or sensitivities, are there multiple pets at home, what food type they prefer, your family’s lifestyle, etc. These can all impact which food would work best for you and your pet.

There absolutely is. Food is the foundation for health and longevity. A strong immune system will fight disease, and the food our pets eat can contribute significantly to a strong immunity. Many health issues are well-managed with the right diet plan. The right diet plan includes high quality, nutrient-dense food, healthy treats, and purposeful vitamins. All three matter.

Understanding nutrition starts with the ingredient panel. Here are a few tips on what to look for in the ingredient panel: 

  1. Named Meat – and lots of it. You don’t want to see “by-products” or vague terms like “poultry”.
  2. Purposeful carbohydrates (think peas, sweet potatoes, carrots).
  3. Low glycemic grains like oats or barley at a lower inclusion rate.
  4. Named fats like “chicken fat” (not “poultry fat”).
Definitely! When choosing treats for your pet, you should use all the same considerations you do for their food. Look for simple ingredients that you can easily read with meat high up on the ingredient panel. Also consider what “type” of treats you’d like to give to your pet. There are training treats which are a great option for both training and weight management. There are single ingredient treats – perfect for our sensitive pets. There are even “functional” treats that have additional healthy benefits like joint support, calming, etc. Treats should be just that, a treat. They should account for less than 15% of your pet’s daily caloric intake. Which really means, try to keep treats for the “special” moments. In place of a treat, you can always give them a little extra love!

Let us help you find the right food for your pet today!
