Both the upcoming stores will feature PetSmart’s new Pinnacle Pet Nutrition section, which features an expanded product range containing high-protein, natural, grain-free, minimally processed and raw pet food.

Spread across 18,000ft², the stores also offer pet training and adoption services, in addition to a full-service grooming salon for dogs and cats.

For the quarter ended 1 May, the retailer opened 18 new stores in the US and Canada, while it established 70 stores last year.

Agreeing to acquire online pet retailer Chewy in April, PetSmart operates more than 1,500 pet stores in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico.
