Introduction

You’ve probably been there: You walk into your local pet store, and you feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices. There are so many products and brands, so many scents and colors. It can be hard to know where to start or what to focus on! But that’s okay because we’re here to help! We’ve laid out a day trip guide for you that will ensure you have a fun time in one of our stores while also learning more about products on offer. We hope this helps make your next visit even more enjoyable!

Choose a Theme.

• Choose a theme. You can choose a theme for your trip, which will make it more fun and exciting. Some ideas include:
• Theme with animals that are native to your area.
• Pet store at the zoo, aquarium or other animal theme park/museum.
• Store that sells pet supplies and accessories exclusively (no live animals).
• Local pet stores near you (use Yelp to find them).

Make a List.

Make a list of the things you want to buy at the pet store, as well as any items you already have at home. This will help you determine how much money you should bring with you. If your list contains items that are available in stores but not necessarily sold at a particular location, make sure to include those as well (for example, if your local pet store doesn’t sell dog treats but there is another store nearby that does).

Locate Pet Stores.

If you are like many people, your local pet store is one of the first places that pops into mind when it comes to shopping for your pet. But with so many options around town, how do you choose?

One option is to use the internet to find something near you. An online search can help narrow down the list of possible pets stores and even allow you to compare pricing at various locations in your area. Additionally, if there are multiple stores close by that sell similar products, an online search may also help identify which one offers better value – which could be important if buying in bulk or on a budget!

If using an online resource such as Google Maps wasn’t enough information on its own, some other methods of finding pet stores include asking friends/family who live nearby or even asking your vet what they recommend (they probably have their favorite nearby!). Another method involves physically walking around town until you find something interesting – this could take some time but will almost certainly lead somewhere eventually!

Map out your route

Map out your route. We recommend stopping at a few different pet stores, then planning to stop at a few places for lunch, and maybe even the zoo or park if you’re in an area with those nearby. We suggest making this adventure an all-day event so that you can take your time, relax, and enjoy yourself without feeling rushed. If possible, make it so that there are two cars going on this trip so you can rotate drivers every hour or two—this will ensure that everyone gets quality time with their pet!

Prepare Your Vehicle.

• Make sure your car is prepared for a day trip. You want to make sure that you have enough room in your vehicle for all of the stuff you’ll be bringing along. A cooler full of ice is a great way to keep food cold, and water bottles are an easy way to stay hydrated. Bring along blankets and pillow so that if you need a nap or just want to relax on a blanket in the shade, it’s there!
• Bring sunscreen, because sunburns suck even more than having no friends when you’re young!

Plan Your Lunch.

Now that you’ve picked out some new toys and treats, you’ll want to plan your lunch. There are many options in the area. If you’re looking for something quick and cheap, check out Subway or Chipotle. If you have more time on your hands, go ahead and splurge on a more expensive meal at one of the trendy restaurants nearby (the closest one is called Taco Bell).

Invite Your Friends!

• Invite your friends!
• Bring a lunch.
• Have fun!

You can have fun at a pet store–bring friends, have lunch, and buy new things for your pets!

If you’re going to be at the pet store for a while, it might make sense to invite friends. You can all have lunch together and catch up on what everyone is up to.

It’s also worth noting that pet stores often sell products that aren’t just food or treats. You can find toys, collars and leashes, grooming tools like brushes and combs, books on caring for animals…the list goes on! If you’re looking for something specific or just want some inspiration, check out your local shop first before buying online or at a big box store.

As much fun as it is to spend time with your pets at home (and I know it’s my favorite thing), it’s important not to forget about their human friends when planning these kinds of outings–we’re here too!

Conclusion

Plan a day trip to your local pet store. You can have fun there–bring friends, have lunch and buy new things for your pets!
