Pet Supplies Plus to Offer Premium Products, Expert Insight for Local Animal Lovers

FAIRFAX, VA, October 04, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It is the year of the pampered pet, and by mid-October, Fairfax animals will be lining up to celebrate the grand opening of Pet Supplies Plus, the nation's most trusted network of community pet retailers for food, equipment, toys and more.

The new Pet Supplies Plus of Fairfax, located at 11054 Lee Highway, will offer area residents a wide variety of pet toys, equipment and a broad range of food from premium items to basic grocery products. The new neighborhood pet center is proud to feature a varied selection of natural pet foods that do not contain any chemically synthetic additives or ingredients, making it easier for pet parents to provide their pets with healthy meals. Moreover, the Pet Supplies Plus of Fairfax will carry an extensive variety of Made in the USA pet consumables such as wet and dry food, treats, rawhide, chews and more.

Despite its smaller, welcoming environment, this Fairfax pet retailer will carry an unbeatable selection of services and supplies. The 10,000-square-foot store will feature a full menu of grooming services tailored to every pet's needs including dog washes, haircuts, full body brushing, flea treatment, and nail, skin, ear and oral care.

"We understand the special bond between owners and their pets, and at the end of the day, we believe that pets own people - not the other way around," said Dave Bolen, CEO of Pet Supplies Plus. "We look forward to becoming an integral part of the Fairfax community and getting to know all the neighborhood pets and their people by name."

To mark Pet Supplies Plus official entrance into Fairfax, the neighborhood pet center is inviting families to a grand opening celebration that will include a Pets 'N People Pizza Party, free nail trims for dogs and cats, a live remote with an on-air personality, the Beggin' Strips mascot dog and a chance to win a one-year supply of pet food and gift cards. Additionally, Fairfax shoppers will have the benefit of perusing through a new store design layout that boasts a new color scheme and emphasizes convenience, functionality and pet interaction.

Pet Supplies Plus maintains a professional, experienced and knowledgeable staff. Their extensive training ensures that all employees are able to answer a broad range of questions regarding household pets from dogs and cats - to exotic birds, reptiles and fish, and are experts in natural, organic and holistic foods. The Pet Supplies Plus of Fairfax will also hold public pet adoptions from local shelters and regularly host low-cost wellness and vaccine clinics to ensure local pets are healthy, happy and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Founded on the idea that convenient, quality service for busy consumers was lacking in the pet industry, retail veterans, Jack Berry and Harry Shallop, opened the first Pet Supplies Plus in Redford, Michigan in 1988. Since then, the neighborhood-style pet store has become a household name in more than 20 states. Today, the pet care industry accounts for more than $52 billion in consumer spending.
