Chow Down Pet Supplies is a beloved locally owned pet store with two locations in Grand Junction and Fruita, Colorado, that has earned a fiercely loyal following across Mesa County. While this isn't an aquarium shop — it's a dedicated dog, cat, and small animal supply store — its reputation for premium nutrition and genuine customer care has made it a cornerstone of the local pet community. What sets Chow Down apart is its curated selection of high-quality, ethically sourced pet foods that you won't find at big-box retailers.
The shelves are stocked with premium kibble, raw dog food, bones, and a massive selection of frozen, refrigerated, and dehydrated meat-based meal options for both dogs and cats. They deliberately avoid grocery-store-grade products, focusing instead on healthier alternatives. They also carry locally made products, including food and water dishes crafted in the region, supporting the Western Slope economy.
The staff is the store's secret weapon. Reviewers consistently rave about employees like Meghan and groomer Alex, who go out of their way to help customers find exactly what they need — from specialty stomach food for a cat recovering from surgery to recovery suits for post-operative dogs. The grooming services have earned particular praise for handling anxious dogs with patience and skill.
Free delivery is available for those who can't make it in, a service that busy pet owners deeply appreciate. Beyond the products, Chow Down cultivates genuine community connection. One heartbreaking review describes a manager named Amy offering treats and compassion to a dog recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, reducing the owners to tears with her kindness.
The store also features a cat room, an impressive selection of enrichment toys, puppy boots, and a loyalty program that rewards repeat food purchases with a free bag. For Grand Junction pet owners seeking premium nutrition, thoughtful product curation, and staff who treat every animal like family, Chow Down is the clear local favorite.

We love Chow Down. We’re always greeted with a smiling face, helping hand and kindness. Their dog washes are so convenient and affordable. We love the variety of healthy food options for pets, and the free delivery is a bonus!

I find a lot of value in having a neighborhood dog and cat store. The staff are insanely helpful and always willing to make recommendations tailored to my specific pet breeds. Don't expect Petco prices--- but DO expect products, care, and expertise that outshine Petco! I love that Chow Down highlights locally made products (good for our economy) and also carries a wide range of ethically sourced and pet safe treats and toys. They also have great sales at times and a cool loyalty-type deal where you get a free bag of food after purchasing 12(I think 12). Thanks Chow Down!

Love the 30 minute option for the self wash. It is always clean and ready for our pups. The shampoo and conditioner leave them smelling wonderful and fur feeling soft!

A huge shout-out to Chow Down Pet Supplies for their grooming services. I was so impressed with Alex. She was professional, kind and very understanding about the anxiety my dog experiences when he is groomed. Vinny received the best grooming of his life!!
