Customers are truly #1

All retailers make this claim but how many of them actually live it?  We see our customers as people, not just as wallets.  We know that you love your pets as we love ours so we discover and honor the needs and wants of each individual that visits us.  Shop with us and you will see that we offer a different environment in which to shop for your special friends.  In order to be effective in this, we educate and train our employees but more than anything else, it is our employees’ love and passion for pets that sets them apart and inspires them to do whatever it takes to earn your trust and make you happy.

 


Our Low Price Guarantee

We will beat our competitor's price on any identical item! 


How it works: If the price of the item is $10.00 or less, we will beat the competitor's price by 10%. If the price of the item is more than $10, we will beat it by $1.00. Guarantee does not apply to Acana and Orijen brand foods. 
Example: A competitor sells an item for $5.00 and PFE sells it for $6.00.  We will sell it to you for $4.50 (10% of $5.00)

Who is a competitor? Any retail store in our market area. We must be able to verify the competitor's price through a current ad, a receipt dated within the prior 30 days, or a phone call to the retailer. 

What makes an item identical? The product, packaging, size, weight, and condition must all be identical. We may also match the purchase terms, conditions, or limitations applied by our competitor.  

This policy is subject to change.
