About The Pet Pantry

About EarthWise Pets

The very first thing you should understand about EarthWise Pet and its family of brands: We don’t sell pets. We never did.

We are a coalition of locally-owned and operated pet nutrition stores and pet wellness spas striving to accomplish a unified mission to better the lives of our furry family members. Our first family owned store was opened in 1977 in Westminster, California and Huntington Beach, California.

Now, with over 150 locations and 40 years of experience, we have developed a service that provides a truly unique pet store experience.

At EarthWise Pets, we pride ourselves in striving to be the most innovative pet supply, grooming, and self wash retail chain in America. This allows our franchisees to have peace of mind in knowing that their franchise company is constantly working on developing creative new ways to keep them growing each and every year.  What we have in store next is revolutionary!
