We're Pet People, Just Like You.
Founded on a simple idea: our pets deserve the best. We grew tired of the overwhelming, low-quality options at big box stores. So, we started Canopy Critters right here in California to be the pet store we always wanted—one that's built on passion, curation, and a genuine love for animals.
Ever wonder who's behind your pet's favorite new toy? We are active members of the CA pet community, dedicated to high-tech retail with a local heart.
Our Guiding Principles
Quality First
We rigorously test and review every item. From grain-free formulations to indestructible rubber compounds, if we wouldn't give it to our own pets, we won't sell it. Our curation process ensures that only the top 5% of market products reach our California warehouse.
Customer Happiness
From browsing to unboxing, we want you and your pet to be delighted. Our team is here to help with sizing, nutrition, and play styles.
Inspired by the Best
We admire the Zooplus model and aim to provide a similarly seamless e-commerce experience tailored specifically for North American pet owners.

"Why did we choose Canopy Critters? Because they actually care about the safety ratings of their products, not just the price tags. It's the first time I've felt like the store owners are on my side as a pet parent."
