Dog-Friendly Shopping in Calgary  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ready for some retail therapy with your pup? These Calgary stores are pet-friendly, so you can do all your shopping with your best friend by your side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The Apothecary<\/a> at 921 9th Avenue SE, Calgary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Apothecary is one of Calgary’s most popular spots for zero-waste goods, pure essential oils, bulk herbs, and refillable products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also offer workshops for pet owners and animal professionals interested in holistic care. In recent years, these workshops have expanded to include safe essential oil use in multi-species households and natural wellness strategies for pet parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can give them a call at (403) 453-0313.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Bass Pro Shops<\/a> at CrossIron Mills, 261055 CrossIron Blvd, Calgary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Looking for outdoor gear? Bass Pro Shop offers 150,000 square feet of outdoor excitement, including the area’s largest selection of quality gear for fishing, hunting, camping, boating, and marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that while the store itself is pet-friendly, the attached indoor mall is not. Visitors must enter through the designated Bass Pro entrance rather than through the CrossIron Mills mall corridors. The store remains one of the largest indoor pet-friendly retail spaces in the Calgary region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can give them a call at (403) 592-3900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Bed Bath & Beyond<\/a> (Numerous Locations in Calgary)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bed Bath & Beyond is a chain of home goods stores that offers a wide assortment of domestic merchandise and home furnishings. The store is dog-friendly, and their staff is well-versed in their dog policy. However, the aisles can get quite busy and crowded, so it\u2019s recommended that you only bring your pup if they are friendly and well-behaved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While corporate changes have reshaped the brand in recent years, remaining locations and affiliated home goods stores continue to accommodate well-behaved dogs at management discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. PetValu<\/a>, PetSmart<\/a>, and Other Pet Supply Stores<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, you can always head to a pet store to shop for new clothes, toys, or treats for your pooch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many locations have expanded services to include in-store wellness clinics, grooming boutiques, and specialty nutrition consultations. Calgary has also seen growth in independent boutiques such as Bone & Biscuit<\/a>, Doodle Dogs<\/a> in Bridgeland, and Unleashed<\/a>, catering to health-conscious pet owners with natural foods and locally sourced products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
