Winnipeg Pet Stores, Shelters, Dog Parks & More

Pet stores Winnipeg dog parks grooming animal shelter

Hello and welcome to our post on everything we know about pets in Winnipeg. Whether you are a current owner or trying to find a new special friend there should be plenty of info here to help you out.

Our opening section will be about the best Winnipeg pet stores. We figure since they are a good place to buy puppies, kittens, toys, food, and supplies they will probably help more of you out than any of the other sections.

Up next we will get into animal shelters for dog or cat adoption. With so much overpopulation many would prefer to go the adoption route and we certainly won’t argue against that.

The next three sections will be for the dog lovers who are joining us. Local dog parks, puppy trainers, and dog bakeries will be discussed in full detail.

Then we will dive into pet grooming and pet cafes around town. Hotels that allow furry friends to check in will also get their own section for any out of towners that are reading this.

Or if you are planning to take a trip yourself the best places for pet boarding near you will also be covered. We will begin to wrap this up with some unfortunate topics like veterinarians and dog or cat cremation.

At the end there is a local map to help you figure out which places are closest to your current area. For more of our Canada pet guides click there.
