Pet Valu

I have a 100lb dog, so I only wash my dog at dog washes to avoid the mess in my home.
I usually go to the Pet Valu in the Beaches because that’s where my fiancé lives, but I had an emergency with my dog and went to the nearest Pet Valu. I usually pay $ 10 plus tax for the dog wash in the Beaches for a basic wash, which comes with treats to calm him down. I paid $ 15 plus tax here and I didn’t use their blow dryer or ear cleaner or anything included in the deluxe service. I’m pretty sure I paid the deluxe price for a basic wash here after reading another review. There were also zero treats to be found anywhere.
The sales associate wasn’t very friendly. I asked to use the dog wash and he just cleaned it, got us towels, and walked away. He didn’t explain which shampoos were what, or ask if we wanted to use the basic or deluxe dog wash.
All in all, I would only come back here if I had the same emergency I did today. Then again, there’s a Global Pet right down the street. Yes, they’re more expensive, but they’re transparent in their dog washing services in the sense that they only offer one that includes all the bells and whistles.

They have a variety of pet foods, clothing, toys, and a self-​serve dog wash station. I’ve observed the self-​serve dog wash station and it is quite clean so overall, I’m satisfied. I haven’t taken my pooch there yet but dogs are welcome to come with their owners to shop.
Their clothing variety could be better — but I think they are slowly expanding. Food variety is great — they do have quite a lot of brands — from «junk foods» such as Nutro, Purina, etc. to high quality foods such as Royal Canin/​Science Diet and holistic brands as well. I really hope that they supply Fromm soon though.
Both guys who work there are very helpful and nice. They don’t try to push any particular brand of food on you but they make helpful, professional recommendations and I’m glad they do that.

Self Serve Dog Wash…
$ 5 Special for Deluxe Wash which is regular for $ 15!
I think my dog is going to come here for his next bath and he can rate this Pet Valu!
The food selection might not be as good as the other pet stores I frequented but still quite decent. The selections of treats definitely A-​OK. There are a large area devoted to dog outfits and toys, great to pick up your holiday present for your pet loving friend!
Same plaza as Whole Foods, LCBO, Panera Bread, Second Cup and Yogurty, parking can be crazy during the weekends but at least you can do all your shopping in one spot!
