Best Places To Go Holiday Shopping For Pets In Metro Detroit

It's almost Christmas time, and you're done shopping for the humans on your list, but that doesn't mean you're done with your shopping! Your pets deserve a special treat as well. Check out this list for the best places to find holiday gifts for your pets in the metro Detroit area.

Premier Pet Supply was voted "Best Pet Supply Store" in Metro Detroit on the Detroit A-List, "Vote 4 the Best," and "HOUR Detroit" magazine, so it's no surprise that it has a superb 5-star overall rating on Yelp as well. The store was opened in July 1992 by Ray Hesano, who wanted to offer a "clean, bright store that offered cutting-edge items at a great price," and later on, his nephew Mike Palmer, now the face of Premier Pet Supply, began working with him. Premier Pet's focus is on natural/holistic foods, supplements and treats for pets, and you can find bowls, beds and more as a present for your pup or other pet there.
