Indianapolis Pet Stores, Shelters, Dog Parks & More

Pet stores Indianapolis dog parks grooming animal shelter

Over the next few minutes we will all be going on a deep dive into everything there is to know about pets in Indianapolis. You guys can’t all be here for the same reasons but either way there should be plenty of info available to assist.

We think the best way to kick this off is to dive right into the best Indianapolis pet stores. You can buy puppies, kittens, toys, food, and supplies and they are kind of like a one stop shop to handle most of your needs.

Your local animal shelters can be a great place for dog or cat adoptions and will be up next. Dog parks, puppy trainers, and dog bakeries will garner our next three sections.

After that it will be time to discuss grooming and dog or cat cafes near you. We can’t assume everyone reading this lives here so we will mention some good pet friendly hotels too.

As we continue to move forward the best places for pet boarding in town will be discussed, and then some unfortunate topics like veterinarians and dog or cat cremation services will get you out of here. Be sure to check out the map for animal lovers towards the end that can help you figure out which places are closest to your current area.

And anyone who is interested is welcome to look through more of our posts on cities around the Midwest at that link.
