Sarah Sunico-Martens

We go here for all of our cat's wet food, cat toys and kitty litter. The staff are all lovely, and they have a great selection for both cats and dogs. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this place. Adopted a kitty that "eats whatever" but...turns out he was allergic to chicken (and clearly not eating whatever as he was severely emaciated and weak). Didnt catch her name, but the lady working was SO helpful with my thousand questions and got us a great raw food (soda always refused dry food) AND....even found him a dry food he will eat. Went in again for some doggie toys and treats for a foster and the staff (different this time) again answered my million questions while my dog tried to escape (think it was her first time in a pet store!) and was fantastic. Everyone is always pleasant and helpful. Love supporting local, and quality!

Andrea Cormie

This store is great. Awesome selection of raw foods and specialty items for my pups! Not your average pet store.

Vian Esterhuizen

Lovely local business with friendly staff and very good selection for the size

TransHyena

I adore it here! everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable ????❤❤❤

Matthew

I had my dog groomed here and it was great and now she is nice and fluffy. I also buy her treats from here as they do good ones.

Alix Esterhuizen

Staff here is always incredibly welcoming and friendly. Very helpful if you're unsure of what product would be best for your furry friend - plus it's always fun to see Alistair, the pot-bellied pig.

Shawnna Rennae Porter

Very disappointed with the grooming customer service. Groom took twice as long as I was told it would be, no phone call to say so and no call when done. The delay affected the rest of my day's schedule since it wasn't anticipated, but no explanations offered and no apology. In fact, the groomer didn't even have the courtesy to come out and speak to me herself. While the quality of the groom was ok, it wasn't what I asked for, I didn't like it, and I ended up paying WAY more than expected.

Joshua Voskoboinikov

Great selection, a little on the expensive side

sinneadfert

Very helpful. I pick up CBD oil for cats. I actually use it for my one ferret who has lymphoma. He had previously been taking gabapentin for pain control. With 0.25 mls twice a day we have been able to wean him entirely off the opioid . He is more alert, has no signs of pain.

Kyle Roberts

Great service as always

kayla Des Brisay

Only place in Calgary that has my dogs food. Clean store with very pleasant staff.

Chelsey Patrick

There is a hilariously large pig in the shop and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Always find what I need and they have a good selection of toys and accessories for dogs.

Brittany Pradella

Good selection and some if the prices are better than Petland. My cat enjoys the products. Check expiry dates tho, I bought some wet food that was 6 months past the expiry date

Rowena Ngo

I just moved to the area recently & have been loving my experience every time I buy here. The quality of food, treats & toys are amazing compared to others I've visited, all fairly priced. Staff are so wonderful & pleasant. Sidenote: My Shorkie loves the new Dino toy (among the many great quality treats). 10/10

Kinsley McWhinnie

More pricey than the big chain pet stores but totally worth it to support a local business with super friendly and helpful staff :)

Christa Holden

Very friendly staff!

Katy Wood

Great products, lovely staff, support local!

Kevin Sattler

Best cut we've had so far!

Dora Hernandez

Jaymie is an amazing groomer, shes soft, kind and always welcoming. she brought me to the back and showed me her grooming area and where she would be keeping my dog. She followed all my directions and went above and beyond to meet what I had asked for her. I would recommend anyone to pawsitively natural not only are the staff kind and carrying but they are extremely knowledgeable. Thank you guys for amazing service and taking care of all my pets needs from grooming to their daily treats and food!

RU Kiddingme

Best Pet Store in YYC. Friendly staff, well stocked and good prices. Thank you!!

Gustaf Moberg

If my cats weren't such lazy freeloaders, spending most of their time on the television couch waiting to be fed, but instead went out to get a job and earn their own money, I am sure they would shop for groceries in this place.

Hayley Alison

I’m glad I found a neighborhood pet store that has top quality dog food, friendly environment and lots of options for parking.

Paul Natland

Paul and his team are always friendly and more than happy to help. We keep coming back for food, treats and toys and wouldn't recommend anywhere else!

Alyssa Brownlee

They let you try on pet items in store. Surprisingly comparable prices to amazon so I'd rather support local.

Willy

Very friendly and knowledgeable owner! He came and gave some great advice for cat toys. Super happy with our toy, and so are our cats. Also love the pig, the store pet.

Joel Schmaltz

Staff was friendly and extremely helpful. It’s an awesome little store for all your pet needs!

S Moore

Wonderful selection for dogs and cats. Friendly staff and very organized small scale neighborhood store.

Ciera Machu

Jaymie is the best dog groomer! Chewy always comes out of there so happy!

Jan Cerato

Great place great prices great products I love the pig this place is all about pets definitely my go to spot for all our dog food and cat food

Trey Petty

This has been our neighbourhood GO TO pet store for years! They have an amazing collection of safe and functional pet toys, beds, collars, leashes, and food/water bowls, always with an eye towards healthy, sustainable, and earth-friendly. Paul and his staff are always great at suggestions and have helped find a dogfood that more than one of our picky eaters would tolerate. Highly recommended!

Nickolina Foussekis-Stewart

Quaint pet shop, usually has what we look for, one of the only ones with our desired brand of dog food, and always good service. Our pup has also been groomed a few times by Jamie and she's great/amazing!

Milan Todorovic

Shopkeepers are very friendly and helpful. Great place for all your pet stuffs!

Rocky Mountain

This place doesn't respect the mask bylaw regarding the exceptions' part of it. My wife and I have three cats and Pawsitively was always our first choice of pet supplies like food, cat litter, aiming to support local business. Last time we have been there, my wife was rudely stopped to get into the store once she was not wearing a mask. The employee, a young guy in his 20's (picture attached), even asked my wife the reason for not wearing a mask, not giving her even a chance to tell him she is an exception to the bylaw. My wife felt very uncomfortable by the embarrasing situation. We have been regular customers for 3 years, buying supplies for 3 cats! This is completely arbitrary and biased once a person who doesn't use a mask has a good medical reason for that, and any person shouldn't be treated like this way just because of their medical condition. Please refer to the City of Calgary's sign (attached) we see everywhere with the following footnote: "Exceptions: children under 2 years of age or persons with underlying medical conditions or disabilities which inhibits their ability to wear a face covering". This sign is displayed at your front door, why your employees do not properly comply with it? A company's policies can never supersede law. And the law states: "no one is to be refused service due to their inability to wear a mask". Second issue: I was told by employee Kayla that Weruva wet food would be discontinued in Canada, which is a misleading information. I personally confirmed this information 2 times before contacting the brand myself. I am attaching the e-mails I have sent to Weruva and their reply. It's sad that the store seems to be working against the brand, and we already found another supplier to keep buying from Weruva. This store is located about 10 minutes driving from Pawsitively, called Paws Pet Food and Accessories which offers a wonderful costumer service, and where we can find both wet food Weruva as well as the dry food Go!Solutions in a cheaper price. I am attaching their contact information in case Pawsitively is still giving the wrong information about Weruva to other customers. Also, a picture of their huge selection of Weruva products. Not offering a proper customer service and lying to a customer, to me it's a clear example of self economic sabotage in a lean period that we are living currently. It's sad that we as loyal customers are being treated this way. Not being respected in a medical condition and even receiving a misleading information about a product. We will support other local businesses where we can trust, be respected as customers and have our rights as citizens and human beings respected. .

Bridget Wilson

My store to get my dogs Artisan raw food - friendly service except for grumpy Alistair lol

Andrew Frosst

Sweet and helpful staff and great range of products.

Very friendly and amazing staff.

Brooke

Came to get some CBD oil for my pittie. The staff was friendly and helped explain to me how to dose it for my girl. I’ll definitely be back again! They seemed to have a great selection of high quality pet foods as well.

Euge D

Great selection and really friendly staff

Hilary Boterman

The shop is pet friendly and the staff are very approachable and knowledgeable. Love supporting a little independent shop that has a rewards program as well.

Carla Skinner

We have been talking our senior (16+yrs old) dog here for grooming for years. The lovely staff noticed he has been getting more anxious and cranky as he gets older and his arthritis bothers him more. They recommended Hemp4Paws, a CBD oil product to help him. We have been giving it to him consistently for a week now and the difference is night and day! We have our old puppers back. He is significantly less anxious, he is sleeping and eating better, and overall much perkier. We have given him traditional narcotics for his pain management before, but didn't like all the negative side effects. The Hemp4Paws has been wonderful! Thank you so so much to the staff for (a) recognizing that Pepper was not his usual self, and (b) for having an amazing natural alternative available to help him!

Nick Petryk

They always have what I need and the customer service is amazing. This is a great local shop if you have pets. Even better if you live in mission area because of how central it is on 4th street. It's right around the corner :) Highly recommended!

Farley Bergen

I love this place, this is where I get my food, they give a free bag after 12. I can walk over here and my humans let me pick out a toy. Highly recommended.

Alanda

Great customer service

Kelsey Shorten

Kind and helpful staff, and the food they stock is all high quality stuff.

Julia Marshall

I love this place, lots of great treat options and they're always so friendly ???? My dog loves coming here too!

Laurie Munsell

Thanks so much for taking such good care of my Irish Wolfhound’s nails. And the CBD oil! You guys are great! I will be back, even though I live in Cranston!

Pat Metivier

Fantastic service from the first phone call to the time I picked her up. Booked in promptly, I had to change my appointment and they accomadated me quickll with no fuss. My dog is very old and has very weak back legs. She also had a lot of hair and truthfully had not been properly washed for years! The lady who performed it was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. She asked me about what I would like done before the work and explained to me the process, what to expect and what would be best for the dog. She also gave Scooby regular breaks as she knew it was hard on her. When she had finished, she brought her out and I hardly recognized her; short hair (as requested) very clean, soft and had clipped her nails. She also asked me if everything looked alright. I have to admit, I was speechless. Fantastic work. The work was very reasonably priced, but more importantly, great service from start to finish. Will be back again soon. Thanks

Johan Denooij

Great shop. Locally owned and a potbelly pig. What more could you want?

PA Head

Had what I needed was in and out quickly

Elaine Bruce-Haynes

Friendly service. Convenient. Great selection. Do all our pet related shopping here.

Jordan

relatively reasonably priced, my only complaint is they stock different products from different companies and as soon as you find one you like it is never in stock again or they don't deal with that company anymore.

Tyler H

They have dog food

Sahib Chhatwal

Jamie is great, upfront about what is best and always has the best interest for my dog (what may hurt and to avoid).

J. G.

Great place for dog food and treats

Stephanie Cantlay

My go-to pet store! Staff are helpful and experienced and offer a variety of brands. Always a pleasant experience

Jeff Markwick

we take are dog lucky there to get groomed by alison. she is the only person that we let groom him. she is very good at her job. the last time we got him cut we were not happy, but fond out that it was not her who did it, when i picked him up the cut was above and beyond what we thought. all you need to do is tell her once and then ajust it if you need to at the next cut. i would reccoemd alsion to anyone.

I was thrilled to see a pet store only two blocks from my place, however my first experience here will be my last. I went in to purchase my puppy a new harness as she’s beginning to pull/choke herself when we walk. The lady at the counter unenthusiastically said Hi when we walked inside; she did not leave the counter to help us nor did she greet my puppy who was nervous and scared because she’s only 3 months old. I have been to 2 other pet stores (a neighbourhood store and Pet Smart and EVERYONE has greeted my nervous dog with a hello, a head rub and a treat. We spent 10 minutes looking at harnesses, not once were we asked if we required help, I had to walk to the counter to ask if the lady knew what size would be best for my dog, the response I got “ try them on” - OK, thanks genius, I was looking for a ballpark guess so I did not have to try on several sizes. So, my puppy and I struggled to determine what kind of harness to buy and to get the harness(s) on (nervous pup & i am a new dog owner) and the lady at the counter never lent a hand, she just watched. I will NEVER come back to this business I am so disappointed that a neighbourhood store would treat its customers this way. You might as well have a robot operate the cash register.

B &DH

LOVE this place. They have the best dog food (raw, dried, organic, etc.) & great grooming services at fair prices. It's our favourite pet shop. Thanks for taking great care of our babies!

Zlatko Pajevic

Best service in the town. Paul is amazing

Kimberlee Radek-Hobson

I love this place the young lady working the front end was super helpful and helped me find a food to help my kitten start eating more. He loves the food and seems much happier.

Loura Mutch

So caring so helpful wonderful staff

CORINN LAITRE

Tiny pet store with grooming and a good selection of dog food, toys and treats! Good raw food selection too!

Jaymie Petty

I love working here!!! We are becoming a close knit kind of family and I feel like that is also projected onto the customers who come into our store. I'm happy to work somewhere where we can stand behind everything we have to offer with confidence.

Barry Kunstleben

Friendly staff great can cat food selection

Chelsea Kindrachuk

I own a deaf persian ragdoll Cat who isn't around a lot of people or other animals so I was worried about booking his first grooming session but after meeting Jaymie, all my anxiety washed away. Jaymie did such an amazing job removing mats, extra hair and handled him with so much care, I won't go anywhere else now. You can't beat the quality, prices and the friendly staff! Jaymie, thank you so much!!! My kitty and I look forward to our regular visits!

Jiou-Martelli De Galicia

Awesome and friendly staff, they always have stock on the frozen raw dog food.

hena ramay

It's a great neighborhood pet store! The staff is extremely friendly and has excellent knowledge on all the products they sell. We got a cat for the first time and they helped me out a lot in deciding on wet and dry food. They even gave me food samples so I can see which one the cat likes before buying big packs. Highly recommend them!

Greg Heckadon

Great friendly and knowledgeable service, pet friendly atmosphere, and great natural products.

Amanda Procyk

Ive been here twice now and have had a great experience both times for cat grooming. I wasn’t aware that the cats and dogs are in the same room for grooming until reading these reviews. My cat seemed normal and is used to dogs regardless. The only thing I’ve noticed both times is that I’ve had to give him a little brush after as there are some remaining chunks of hair in the long fur (he gets the lion cut). Other than that, these guys are amazing and I’ll always return. Thank you to the awesome groomer!

Alexi Kosmas

Love this place, I get cbd oil for my senior dog here and it works great and I love the friendly staff. They have a really nice store, I just got my staffy a new nice bed too for 50$

Maddy

I love this pet store and the staff are all amazing. They've all been great at answering any questions and making suggestions. Always has what I need and I love that they carry locally made dog food, so I can support two local businesses in one!

Elaine Sutcliffe

The staff are very friendly and helpful and takes the time to help you this is the store I will be going to from now on and they also have the newest products and the 5.5 oz tins of weruva wet cat food which seem to be very hard to find which I love.

Christine Adams

Fantastic service and wonderful caring staff. Can't say enough good things about Paul and his crew, except Thanks!!

Geoff Price

Buy CBD for my dogs here. Staff is very well educated on the products and we talked extensively about dose and requirements for my dogs.

Lindsay M

Staff recommended a great product that my pup loves! They have good selection, in a clean organized store

Katrina May

I walked into the store looking to start my kitty on a more natural diet, but with almost no idea what's best on the market. The lady working the counter helped me so much to pick out the perfect pet food for my fussy kitty. She knew each product very well. After all her help, she then gave me a couple small samples of flavours for my kitty to try before committing to a full bag of food. Overall, loved the customer service!

Cale Humeniuk

Best downtown pet store. Great location and everything you need !

Morgan Dearsly

I found the customer service terrible.

jenna cowan

Very friendly staff and great pet products.

Probably not the best place to get your cat groomed. I made an appointment and took off from work early to have my cat shaved as he's shedding his winter coat like crazy. The groomer asked me to stay back in case he "didn't let" her groom him. She came out five minutes later saying that it wouldn't work today, and to bring him back tomorrow instead. When I asked why anything would be different tomorrow, she said she had three dogs in the grooming room (!) and that they might not be there tomorrow so he'd be more comfortable. If she was stopping because my cat just hated the trimmer, I'd actually appreciate that. However, it's pretty ridiculous to even attempt grooming a cat with three dogs staring him down. It's unprofessional to offer appointments and then not be able to honour them because of the way your business is run. Either have a separate area for the dogs or don't offer cat grooming. The staff was very nice, but this was a huge hassle, I took off work for nothing and it was unnecessarily stressful for my cat.

Marie Claire Bourque

Awesome knowledgeable and helpful staff. Quality products.

Chris Dovey

Great service and selection. Really high quality food and treats. Locally owned.

Juergen

We went here to get some hemp oil for our 12 year old golden, the girl working in the store on Aug 12,2019 was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the product. I would highly recommend place for your pet needs!

J “JB” B

The staff has always been most accomodating. The store is small but has a good selection of foods & supplies.
