Which Types of Pets Does Pet Discounters Sell Supplies For?

Updated

Pet Discounters sells supplies for four pet categories: dogs, cats, aquatics (fish), and birds. The homepage asks "Which pet are you shopping for?" and presents those four as the browsing entry points, so you can jump straight to the category that matches your pet rather than searching the whole catalog.

The four pet categories on the site

Pet type What the site highlights
Dogs Treats from featured brands, plus food, toys, and supplements
Cats "Essentials for your feline friend"
Aquatics Essential aquarium supplies
Birds Quality supplies for birds, including a dedicated avian nutrition section

The site describes itself as a source for "quality pet products at unbeatable prices" and lists dogs, cats, birds, and pet supplies generally in its own store description, which matches the four categories shown on the homepage.

What each category actually covers

Dogs

Dog shoppers are pointed toward treats first — the homepage highlights Zuke's treats and Greenies dental chews, and describes browsing "a variety of treats from your favorite brands." Bestsellers include Zuke's Hip Action Hip & Joint Support Treats in a three-flavor pack. The broader store description also mentions dog food, toys, and supplements, so treats are the promotional focus rather than the whole dog offering.

Cats

Cats get a shorter, essentials-focused entry: "Select essentials for your feline friend." The store description lists cat food, toys, and treats among the general product range.

Aquatics

Aquatics is presented as "essential aquarium supplies" — a supplies category rather than a food-and-treats category like dogs and cats.

Birds

Birds are the most heavily featured category on the homepage. Pet Discounters calls itself "the pioneer in avian nutrition" and promotes Harrison's Bird Food, with several Harrison's products among the bestsellers:

  • Harrison's Adult Lifetime Fine Bird Food, 5 lb — $43.79
  • Harrison's Pepper Lifetime Coarse Bird Food, 5 lb — $41.11
  • Harrison's High Potency Fine Bird Food, 5 lb — $51.18

There's also an expert article aimed at new bird owners, "Why Pet Birds Make Wonderful Companions: A Complete Guide for First-Time Bird Owners."

How to check whether your pet is covered

  1. Go to the homepage and find the "Which pet are you shopping for?" section.
  2. Pick your pet type — Dogs, Cats, Aquatics, or Birds — and select "Shop Now."
  3. If your pet isn't one of those four, the category structure suggests the site isn't organized around it.

One caveat: the homepage category tiles are the clearest signal of what the site is built to serve. A brand or product you want may still appear in search even if it isn't featured on the homepage, so it's worth checking the bestsellers list or searching by brand name before assuming something isn't stocked.

Quick answer by situation

  • Dog or cat owner: Yes — food, treats, toys, and supplements are all part of the range, with treats and dental chews featured most prominently.
  • Bird owner: Yes, and this looks like the site's strongest category, given the avian nutrition focus and Harrison's lineup.
  • Aquarium keeper: Yes, for general aquarium supplies.
  • Something else (reptiles, small mammals, etc.): Not indicated by the site's own category structure.
