Especially For Pets - Calgary
About Especially For Pets
Especially 4 Pets has been a family run local store since 1988. In 2008, we discovered that our friends Kim & Harry were thinking of selling their store and we jumped at the opportunity to start living our dream. We had volunteered at different rescue and fundraising events held at E4P through the years, and the thought of doing that for a living was pretty exciting!
Over the years, I have learned a lot about the health needs of dogs and cats and have become very particular about what is acceptable. I won’t bring in brands just because they are highly recognizable! I thoroughly scan through ingredient lists on all our foods and treats to make sure they meet or exceed our high standards. You can be confident your pet only receives the healthiest choices and can get the best nutrition possible with our products! E4P carries unique items that you won’t find in the big box stores. I believe in being active outdoors with your dog and try to bring in items that will have you and your dog playing outside for many years to come! Most of our inventory comes from other Canadian small businesses so we are also helping to support the local economy.
I am very proud of my shop, the daycare and our grooming salon. I have a great team and I think it is truly one of a kind!
I have been so fortunate to have some special people come into our lives because of this little neighborhood store. It’s much more than a business, it’s a family. I am so thankful for the friendships I’ve made and the all the knowledge I’ve gained. I hope to continue learning for many years to come.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a great experience here yesterday customer service wise and was excited to make this our new go to spot, our experience today (12/28) completely changed that opinion.
Went in to purchase raw cat food yesterday (had our cat with us in store), the gal must have made a mistake and grabbed the dog variety instead of the feline and we didn't notice until this morning when I had already opened the bag to feed him.
Went back in to get it exchanged and was told they can't do exchanges or refunds on products that were open, after spending $300 on vet bills the day before we didn't budget to throw $40 out the window or have to buy taurine to make the food edible for cats.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very satisfied with my experience here, Bree was very helpful and knowledgeable about cats as I am a first time owner. She was very polite and answered all my questions and recommended high quality healthy products which were very reasonably priced. I will definitely come back for any of my cat needs.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came in for supplies for our new Frenchie puppy. The lady went through my list with me and asked lots of questions. Eager to try the probiotics that were recommended for her allergies. Even got a free bag of treats to go with the food.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nightmare!!! After her first day of trying the daycare, our dog was given back to us scared, shaking and covered in mess and urine. Terrible first impression and a very poor business model. I brought my dog to daycare to play and run around, not to be in a kennel while she's there. When we showed up all the dogs were locked in kennels barking and the employee was on the opposite side of the building stocking shelves (as opposed to what is said in this review response, nobody was in the daycare side, the employee was on the back left hand side of the store) and we stood there for about 3 minutes listening to dogs freaking out before she acknowledged us.
(For context our dogs is 3 years old and very well trained and attends numerous other dog daycares throughout the city with no issues)
(Update: I told the employee we had recently moved, but our dog had also tried two other daycares since the move and was fine, we were counting on this one being great as its closest to our home but it was the last one we tried)
(2nd update: we were called by the store and asked to take down this review. in the interest of honesty and transparency, it's staying up.)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I’ve been taking my Chow chow for years to get groomed. He hates going to the groomers as he has some separation anxiety and doesn’t tolerate being kennelled. They always have looked after his needs and make him feel as comfortable as possible, even as far as letting him roam the grooming area to help relax him. Pricing is fair and he always looks amazing after his groom. I’m so sad that we have moved locations as now I am having a difficult time finding someone I trust! They even offered to give a referral for my chow ?
