Instacart, the leading grocery technology company in North America, and Pet Valu, the leading specialty retailer of pet food and pet-related supplies in Canada, announced Thursday that devoted pet lovers can now shop over 600 locations across the country exclusively on Instacart for same-day delivery in as fast as an hour.
This collaboration will make shopping for pet essentials easier and more convenient than ever before, with quick and reliable delivery straight to customers’ homes, said the companies in a news release.
Millions of pet owners across Canada can browse and order food, treats, toys, and more from the Pet Valu family of stores – including Pet Valu, Bosley’s by Pet Valu, Paulmac’s, Total Pet and Tisol – through the Instacart app or website, ensuring their furry family members never miss a meal or playtime. Pet Valu’s launch is the largest pet retailer collaboration for Instacart Canada and expands their offering to cover over 500 new stores, adding to the 100 locations rolled out earlier this year in Ontario and British Columbia, they said.
“We know how much Canadians love their pets so we’re thrilled to expand our presence with Pet Valu, Canada’s largest specialty pet retailer,” said Blake Wallace, Senior Director of Retail Partnerships at Instacart. “Whether you’re welcoming a new pet to your family, restocking everyday pet essentials, or splurging on your pet’s favorite treat, customers can find whatever they need for their pets all in one place with Instacart, delivered right to their door with speed and ease.”
“At Pet Valu, we’re committed to creating seamless shopping experiences for our devoted pet lovers so they can spend more quality time with their pets,” said Tanbir Grover, Chief Digital and Marketing Officer at Pet Valu. “Joining forces with Instacart allows us to expand our availability through a new channel, its customers and bring our large selection of high-quality pet goods to more pet parents across Canada, while providing the convenience of same-day delivery.”
With Pet Valu teaming up with Instacart, pet owners will have access to Instacart’s community of tens of thousands of experienced Canadian shoppers to help with picking, packing, and delivering customer orders, said the two companies.
