About Total pet
Feeding a dog through a hot Okanagan summer takes more planning than most people expect, and so does keeping a cat, a rabbit or a tank of fish supplied. Total Pet trades from 402 Industrial Ave, in a building it shares with another business.
Pet shops separate themselves on what they carry and what they will order in. Some keep deep stock of large bags and cases, some hold a freezer for raw diets, and most will bring in a specific formula if you give them lead time and the exact name of it. If your animal is on something particular, ringing ahead with the brand and the bag size saves a wasted trip. It is also fair to ask about help carrying the heavy bags out, about programs that discount by the case, and about whether leashes, crates, litter and tank supplies sit under the same roof as the food.
Industrial Avenue is an errand street rather than a shopping one, the sort of address where people stack a hardware stop, a parts run and a load of pet food into a single trip. It sits a few easy minutes from the downtown core in a city compact enough that nothing is really far from anything. Penticton draws shoppers in from Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos and the smaller places between them, which is why a supply run here often carries a longer list than a city of this size would suggest. Parking on a street like this is straightforward, which matters when you are loading forty pounds of kibble into a trunk.

Where to shop in Penticton: small, walkable and mostly local
Penticton's shopping is smaller than Kelowna's and more its own thing: a Main Street of independents, specialty food shops that outclass their size, and Cherry Lane covering the mall tier.
