Our first year of business in Federal Way has been quite remarkable.

Yes, business has been building on a steady level. Customers tell us they feel welcome in our store – one of our main objectives – and they love our grooming services and self-pet wash stations.

It all added up to being voted Best Pet Store in the Federal Way Mirror, an honor we accept with pride and humility. Federal Way is the third store in our Fischer Pet Store family, and while we’ve learned a lot at all our stores, our mission to be the best continues to drive us.

When we set out to open our locally owned and operated stores, I recognized it as an opportunity to not only serve pet owners in the area, but also to create a space where we can advocate for homeless pets and the well-being of all animals.

In committing to those objectives, we have hosted a number of pet rescue agencies at all three of our stores: Federal Way, Bellevue and our first store, West Seattle. The non-profit rescues have included Saving Great Animals, Motley Zoo Animal Rescue, Multi-Service Center of Federal Way, the Fusion Food Bank and Shelter, and Guide Dogs for the Blind, to name just a few.

As soon as we started we began to build a hub for pet parents and to help them learn how to take care of their animals. We have a very knowledgeable team in each of our stores and our teammates love helping our neighbors. Each team member is trained in the areas of natural and holistic foods and is able to answer a broad range of questions about dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and fish.

Pet Supplies Plus has been active in the community, participating in the popular Federal Way Market last summer, sponsoring several pet contests and working with other merchants new to the area to promote their stores, including Dick’s Drive In, located near the PSP Store at the Commons and Harborstone Credit Union.

We love working with other businesses to help each other and invite owners and operators to drop by and say hello.

PSP stores have proven popular all over the country, growing at a rapid pace to now include 700 stores.

The Federal Way store includes full pet grooming services, along with a popular Self-Serve Pet Wash. Online orders, free delivery and curbside pick-up services are also offered. All PSP stores have a free rewards program, which offers members regular coupons on products they purchase frequently, along with monthly specials.

PSP Federal Way is open daily at The Commons.
