Pet Stores near Northbridge, MA

“I’m always happy when I purchase items for my Maddie at Paws Planet. The women are very knowledgeable and pleasant. If you shop there regularly they always remember my name and what I usually order.”

“Great to have this store so close. Linda has always been able to order what I need if it wasnt in stock, as well as fill orders for my clients. Employees are always friendly too!”

“This store located just south of the Rt 9 and Rt 135 interchange is pretty nice. The plants are protected from the harsh sun near the door and were in good condition inspite of being on clearance, the tomatoes etc. The cashier Brian was helpful finding what I was looking for. The store setup is a modified version of the store I use more often and clean. Plenty of parking and handicap accessible.”

“Tony dropped everything to be able to help my 3 kitties. I found out the Natural Balance cat food was being discontinued in 50%+ Petsmarts and Petcos. I learned that Tony’s Pet Oasis was one of 2 places near me that would be selling this product. I messaged them on Facebook and explained my situation. I went in store a few days later and Tony sat with me and ordered all of the flavors my cats eat for me. He got them in so quickly and messaged me on Facebook when they were in store and ready. He now sells them on his shelves. He literally made my life so much easier and I don’t need to worry right now. Thank you Tony and team!”

“My young rescue dog would absolutely not let anybody touch his nails for trimming. He is very mellow and kind unless you attempt to touch nails. He got terribly agitated and restless. Went to Petco, no help. The vet said he would need to be completely sedated.
His nails were so sharp and scratched my grandchildren when he jumped.
I finally found Lauren at Fuzzy Pants on Shrewsbury St.
She is a miracle worker.
His nails were cut with very little problem. I am grateful for Lauren and will be returning in 4 weeks.”

“I have had incredibly positive interactions and the dogs I've adopted from here have been cared for and loved. They care about the plight of international dogs like Lurchers, Galgos and Podencos as well.”

“My husband and I adopted a Maltipoo in October 2025! We named him Riley. He is 4 years old and the sweetest, most darling little boy! Ron & Hannah were so professional and helpful to the process! We are so very grateful for them. Highly recommend! A++++++++++ for their awesome and wonderful work for these beautiful dogs! Thanks so much!”

“Have adopted a few Cats from them. The latest, Juno, a senior Cat has been a test of wills. He stayed in hiding for about two months, bit me once. He decided finally to come out, now laying beside me, loves to be petted, sleeps on my bed, with or without me. Hangs around with my other Cats, and follows me around the house all the time. A wonderful addition to the family. Love him. Don t overlook the Senior Cats! They are special, and appreciate a good home.”

“My go-to PetSmart location, it’s a great spot overall. They often have cats available for adoption, along with a nice selection of fish for sale, and occasionally even bettas up for adoption when they’ve had health issues and need extra care. They also carry a variety of small animals like hamsters, birds, and reptiles. While they don’t stock live mice like some other locations, it’s still a reliable place to find quality supplies for your pets.”

“My boyfriend & I were on the hunt for an indoor garage heater other than electric. Although we were uncertain of propane being safe for indoors. At arrival we were greeted by Donna. She was very informative and helped us pick the ideal heater with ease. Thanks Donna!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Welcoming Stop for Pet Parents —
I recently visited the Petco in Shrewsbury and overall had a really pleasant experience worth sharing. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by staff — a small touch that immediately sets a positive tone and makes you feel like your visit matters.
The assortment of pet supplies is genuinely impressive. Whether you're shopping for toys, bedding, grooming products, treats, or accessories, the selection covers a wide range of needs and price points. It's clear that Petco has invested in keeping their inventory well-stocked, and I left feeling like I had real options rather than just grabbing whatever was available.
What stood out most was the staffing on the floor. There were plenty of team members available, which made a noticeable difference. I was assisted by Rhonda, who was an absolute standout — friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping. Her positive attitude made the whole experience feel personal, and she went above and beyond to point me in the right direction. More associates like Rhonda make a real difference in the shopping experience.
It was also evident that animal welfare is a priority here. The live animals on display appeared healthy, well-cared-for, and in clean, appropriate environments — always a good sign and something I personally appreciate when evaluating a pet store.
One area for improvement: the store layout when you first enter can feel a bit disorienting. Pet food — both cat and dog — is located toward the back of the store, while supplies feel spread out across different sections without a clear flow. A more intuitive layout or better signage near the entrance would go a long way in helping shoppers navigate efficiently, especially first-timers.
Overall, Petco in Shrewsbury is a solid choice for pet owners. Strong selection, attentive staff, and animals that are clearly well looked after. With some layout refinements, this location could easily be a five-star stop. I will continue to shop here and I do tell my family and friends about this location favorably.”

“I brought my pibble girl Mabel to see the groomers today to get her nails trimmed. It was my first time there. I usually bring her to Petco in RI where I live (I commute about an hour to work) because it's convenient and they do a great job. When I brought her in, all of the staff, from cashier to the groomers and everyone in between welcomed her like they have known her forever. It was so heartwarming to see. Genuinely made my heart flutter. Mabel is a shy girl and she felt so comfortable with Gab. I will definitely be bringing her in on my lunch breaks more often. Thank you so SO much.”
