1st Place: Pet Food Plus
2nd Place: Tropic Waters Pet Center
3rd Place: Petco

In one incarnation or another, Pet Food Plus (3460 Mall Dr.) has been serving your kittie-, doggie-, birdie-, fishie-, and hamstery-based needs (and beyond) for over 20 years. The independently owned pet shop grabbed the top spot with their huge selection of pet food (duh), toys, and grooming products. Tropic Waters Pet Center (2513 E. Clairemont Ave.), another independent store, took second place, due in part to their selection of unique fish and other watery items. You voted chain store Petco (3731 Gateway Dr.) into third place, no doubt enjoying their wide aisles of merchandise – stacking everything from litter boxes to iguana treats – and in-store grooming service. – Mike Paulus
