Pet Supplies Plus, founded in 1988 in Redford, Michigan in the United States, is a privately held pet supply retailing corporation with a major presence in the US. As of 2005, it was the third largest specialty pet food retailer in the US. The company began adding franchise locations in the Midwest, expanding into the northeastern and southern states during the late 1990s. In 2015, Pet Supplies Plus store locations consisted of over 325 stores in 25 states.

The chain's founders, Harry Shallop and Jack Berry, sought to bring grocery store convenience into the pet supply world. The chain's stores are owned by independent franchisees and company stores. Measuring about 10,000 square feet (930 m2), the stores are focused on being neighborhood pet supply "supermarkets," stocking a very wide selection of pet food and supplies. The stores also have limited livestock departments, and some have also recently added grooming services and self-serve dog washes. The stores make it a point to welcome dogs, cats and other pets to its stores. Pet Supplies Plus considers themselves to be "Americas Favorite Neighborhood Pet Store" In keeping with the neighborly feel, it displays biscuits at "nose level" so dogs can take samples while shopping with their owners. Many locations sponsor adoption events with local animal rescue and humane groups. Pet Supplies Plus currently has their own brand of natural dog and cat food called Redford Naturals.
