Next time you decide to take a stroll in the ocean breeze, why not bring your four-legged friend to accompany you? Enjoy the beautiful oceanside scenery and then grab a treat for your pup from Animal Kingdom SM, which is only a short fifteen minute walk from the Santa Monica Pier. Our pet supply store offers several healthier food and treat options than big box stores, durable dog toys, and more. Why support a big box chain, when you can support your community by choosing to shop at a small neighborhood business? This blog will detail the ways why shopping local for pet supplies can provide better quality service and pet supplies.
Personalized Service You Won’t Find Online
Save on shipping and get to know the members of your community. When you shop small, you’re not just making a quick purchase, you’re building relationships with your neighbors. When you shop at Animal Kingdom SM, you’ll get to know our knowledgeable staff, who care about you and your pet’s well-being.
Our team is always here to help you find exactly what your pet needs, whether you’re looking for the best dry dog food, the best wet cat food, or something more specific. We can walk you through options that fit your pet’s age, diet, and lifestyle, and we’re happy to answer the everyday questions that come with being a pet parent. One we often hear is, “Can cats eat dog food?” Cats might nibble on dog food occasionally, but they shouldn’t eat it long-term because their nutritional needs are different from a dog’s. We’re here to help you choose the right food for each of your pets so they stay healthy and happy.
Experience a warmth you may not find at big chain stores or when shopping online. We pride ourselves on giving customers the best service possible, as well as high-quality pet products.
Curated Pet Products
We carry a wide variety of curated pet products for dogs and cats, choosing brands that are high-quality and thoughtfully manufactured. We offer pet supplies from businesses we love supporting and think you’ll love just as much.
Take Ruffwear, for example, a dog accessory brand that produces harnesses, apparel, leashes, and collars made for dogs and their owners who enjoy the outdoors, whether running, hiking, climbing, or biking. This brand is not only known for its durability, but also for its comfort.
We also proudly carry Lil’ Archie’s, eco-friendly pet essentials, like collars and leashes, with playful patterns and colorful designs. This brand’s goal is to make dog gear that is both good for the planet and your pet.
We also offer a curated selection of high quality dog food, cat food, and healthy dog treats from brands we trust. Each one brings something unique to the table, helping you find the best canine food or the best cat food for your furry family members, without the overwhelming feel of a large pet supermarket.
