Petshop Science is a South African pet retail chain (subsidiary of Checkers/Shoprite) specializing in pet supplies, food, toys, beds, accessories, and even pet insurance.
It was founded in 2021 and has grown quickly, with stores across the country (including in KwaZulu-Natal) and fast delivery via Checkers Sixty60 (often in as little as 60 minutes in supported areas).
Key Highlights:
- Own-brand pet food — Recently launched a premium private-label range (chicken & rice formulas for puppies, adult dogs, seniors, kittens, and cats). It’s positioned as vet/nutritionist-approved and affordable.
- Focus on quality products at supermarket prices.
- Wide selection: dry/wet food, treats, toys, grooming, beds, etc.
- Available both in-store and online via Checkers app/Sixty60.
Since you’re in Durban (KZN), there are likely nearby locations (they have several in KZN Inland and around Durban areas). You can check the Checkers app or website for your closest store and current deals.
