The Family Puppy, Multiple locations
With three stores in Michigan—including Flint, Novi and Troy—and one in Ohio, the Family Puppy focuses on exactly what the name suggests.

The Wild Indoors, Pinckney, MI
Pinckney's Wild Indoors looks to deliver on giving a current pet a better life. Formed by individuals with 30 years of retail experience and 10 years of veterinary experience, they know animals, and they know customer service.

Preuss Pets, Lansing, MI

Featuring birds, fish, reptiles, and small animals alongside supplies for everything therein and dogs and cats besides, the field is quite covered when it comes to animals and their relevant supplies. As for the purpose part, after-sales service and community events sponsorship combine to make an excellent overall package for the pet shopper.
Pet Supplies Plus, Multiple locations
Pet Supplies Plus is a little something different. It's a national chain store of 331 separate locations, but one headquartered in Farmington Hills. It's worth a mention, though, because it managed to land the number four slot on Pet Business' Top 25 Pet Retailers in North America study, along with a berth on Franchise Times' Top 200 list, first among pet-related franchises. What gives it this rank? Start with its array of products and then step up to its resource center offering reams of information on the animal kingdom and it's easy to see why this is a well-traveled pet shop.
Pets Naturally, Traverse City, MI
Pets Naturally in Traverse City offers something of an upscale experience. It's not only a health food store for the pet set, but it's also known for offering all its products made either domestically or comparatively so, with sources in the United States and Canada. Throw in a set of community sponsorships, special events, and even a pet-related blog to offer further information about our furry friends, and Pets Naturally proves its worth in grand fashion.
Bark's Fifth Avenue, Detroit, MI
Bark's Fifth Avenue in Detroit offers something downright novel in its operations. While it's got much of the standard pet store material, it's making it clear it's a small business. Thus, it doesn't offer big quantities of name brands, but rather a constantly-shifting selection of small-batch materials. It also focuses on services, delivering such things as pet birthday parties, puppy showers, and even play dates for the pups in question. Grooming services are also on hand, making Bark's Fifth Avenue a complete and somewhat upscale experience.
