We really appreciate you joining us for this discussion on everything we know about pets in Providence. Our goal is to cover the topic in full detail so you can find everything you need right here on one page.
With that said we can’t think of a better way to begin than by listing the best Providence pet stores. Whether you want to buy puppies, kittens, toys, food, or other supplies they should be able to help you out.
Up next we will talk about the top animal shelters near you for those who would prefer to adopt a dog, cat, or other pet instead of buying a new one. Local dog lovers will really enjoy our next three sections which are about dog parks, puppy trainers, and dog bakeries in the area.
Then we will dive in into pet grooming salons and dog or cat cafes near you. Frequent travelers will get the most out of the next sections which discuss local hotels that allow pets and also boarding facilities.
Our final topics will be the unfortunate ones like veterinarians and pet cremation services. To get a better lay of the land stick around for our local map at the end, plus the curious types can look through our other posts on pets in the Northeast at that link if interested.
Best Pet Stores In Providence
Visit one of the best Providence pet stores where you might be able to buy a new puppy, kitten, toys, food, or other supplies:
Rumford Pet Express partners with a few local rescue shelters to put on adoption days where customers can adopt dogs, cats and small animals in need of a new home.
They also carry a wide variety of pet food and supplies but no longer sell puppies or kittens.
Many kinds of pet foods, treats, collars, leashes, toys, carriers, and other items should be available at each of those local pet stores. Pet Supplies Plus sells puppies, kitten, birds, fish, small pets, reptiles, amphibians and also offers dog grooming, a self serve dog wash, pet pharmacy, and VIP pet care.
The Petco near you is a big box retailer that should have all the supplies you need and should be able to provide basic grooming, boarding, and even some veterinary services.
Animal Shelters & Adoption
These local animal shelters should have plenty of cute dogs and pets for adoption:
Not only is there a great pet adoption program at Providence Animal Rescue League but they also will spay or neuter dogs and cats, they have a vaccination clinic, and even a pet food pantry. You can get help with pet licensing or adopt one of the pets at the Providence Animal Shelter.
You can surrender or adopt a pet at Rhode Island SPCA who provides foster care and gives out emergency pet food for those who are in a really tough spot. Cat Adoption Team Services (C.A.T.S.) is a non-profit organization working to protect and save cats in your area.
