Riverside South Pet Shop: the neighbourhood pet store, five minutes from your door
Family-owned, local, and in the same neighbourhood we scoop every week. Food, supplies, and grooming without the drive to a big-box store.
Who they are
Riverside South Pet Shop is a local, family-owned store in Riverside South. They carry pet food and supplies for dogs, cats and small animals, and they offer grooming on site.
The pitch is simple and it isn't about price-matching Amazon: it's a store where someone knows your dog's name, where you can ask a real question about a food transition and get an answer from a person who isn't reading a label, and where the money stays in the neighbourhood.
Why Scoop Dog partners with them
Riverside South is one of our busiest routes. We're already on those streets weekly, and so is this shop — same customers, same community, same "we live here too" accountability. When a client asks us where to buy food locally instead of ordering it, this is the answer.
A neighbourhood pet store and a neighbourhood scooping service are the same bet: you'd rather deal with someone who has to see you at the park on Saturday.
How Riverside South Pet Shop and Scoop Dog work together
Shop local, scoop local
They keep the bowl full. We keep the yard clear. Both within a few minutes of Riverside South homes.
Supplies + service
Food, treats, toys and grooming from them; weekly waste removal from us.
Grooming in the neighbourhood
They offer grooming on site — worth asking about if you'd rather not drive across the city.
Two small businesses, one street
No franchise scripts. If something goes wrong, you talk to the owner. That goes for both of us.

About this partnership: Riverside South Pet Shop is an independent business. Scoop Dog partners with them because we work with the same Ottawa dog owners and we trust the work they do — not because either of us is paid to say so. We don't take a cut of their services, and they don't take a cut of ours unless they've joined our referral program.
