About
Tucked into the Oceanview neighborhood of Norfolk, Virginia, Georgie's Pet Supply is a locally owned shop run by owners Ronnie and Michael that has quickly become a beloved staple for pet owners across the area. Named after a real dog — yes, Georgie exists and occasionally holds court — this tidy, well-organized store punches well above its weight in selection and service. While Georgie's is primarily known as a destination for premium dog and cat food, the inventory stretches further than you might expect.
Reptile keepers rely on their gut-loaded crickets for bearded dragons and lizards, praising them as fresher and longer-lasting than what chain stores offer. They stock feeder rats and mice, individually wrapped and in excellent condition, plus live worms for the reptile crowd. Guinea pig owners, cat parents hunting for the perfect harness, and puppy people looking for nutritional guidance all find what they need here.
One reviewer even flagged that aquarium supplies have made their way onto the shelves — a welcome addition for Norfolk's fishkeeping community. What sets Georgie's apart is the intentionality behind every product on the shelf. Ronnie has been known to voice concerns about brands changing their formulas, a level of scrutiny you simply won't find at a big box retailer.
The store actively solicits customer feedback on what to stock, and if something isn't on hand, they'll order it or point you in the right direction. A visiting nail clipper specialist stops by on Tuesdays, adding another layer of convenience. Prices are consistently described as fair and reasonable — not the cheapest, but calibrated to the quality of what's offered.
Staff will stay late to help a confused new puppy owner pick the right food, hand out free samples, and even carry heavy bags of pellet litter to your car. Seasonal events like free photos with Santa keep the community feel alive. For Norfolk pet owners tired of impersonal chain store experiences, Georgie's delivers genuine care with every visit.

We stopped by with our two anxious pups Honey and Chili and within minutes, both dogs had made friends! Chili even sat still to get his nails clipped (a miracle) thanks to their visiting clipper specialist Tuesday. Will absolutely be back. Support this gem of a local business!”

— Timber Rose5.03 months ago“Georgie's pet supply is the greatest place Oceanview ever had not to mention they have a tanning salon next door that is Corey come visit them”
— Ma Monalisa5.03 months ago“The owners Ronnie and Michael are amazing. Very knowledgeable in all the products in their store and willing to answer any questions you may have. Highly recommend to anyone who would rather go to a locally owned pet store than petsmart or similar. Their prices are fair and if they don’t have something that you’re looking for let them know and they are more than likely either willing to order it or recommend somewhere that may have it. 10/10 experience every time we go.”
