Our Story

Best Friends Pet Supplies was established in 1989 with the aim to offer high quality and healthy products for your pets. In 1994 we opened our second location in Upper Tantallon. All of our staff are well trained and very passionate about your pets well being. We only carry the highest quality pet foods with and make every effort to carry as many Canadian made products as possible.
