Why Shop at East Coast Pets?
We’re not a big-box chain. We’re Clarenville locals who love animals — and we built this store for the people and pets in our own community.
Locally Owned & Operated
Every purchase supports a Clarenville family business — not a distant corporation. We’re invested in this community and in every animal we sell.
Real Hobbyist Knowledge
Our staff keep reptiles, fish, and exotic animals at home. The advice you get here comes from lived experience — not a training manual. Ask us anything.
Special Orders, No Problem
Don’t see it on the shelf? We’ll source it. Animals, food, specialty equipment — if it exists in Canada, we’ll work to get it for you.
Easy Off the Trans-Canada
Just 2.4 km off Route 1 via Manitoba Drive. Stocking up? Passing through? We’re a quick stop with real value for your pets and your trip.
Live Animals & Housing
We're more than a supply store — we're hobbyists who care. Our team keeps reptiles, fish, and invertebrates at home, and we bring that same passion and knowledge into the store every day. Whether you're setting up your first tank or expanding a bioactive vivarium, we'll make sure you leave with the right animal, the right setup, and the confidence to enjoy the hobby.
