Why Pets & Animals
Everything a Pet Brand Needs Online
Purpose-built features that help pet brands convert browsers into buyers.
Breed & Species Filtering
Let customers filter products by breed, species, size, or life stage. We build intuitive navigation that helps pet owners find exactly what their animal needs — reducing bounce rates and increasing average order value.
Subscription & Auto-Ship
Pet food and treats are perfect for recurring orders. We integrate subscription functionality so customers can set up auto-ship schedules, manage deliveries, and never run out of their pet's favourites.
Size & Fit Guides
Harnesses, coats, and collars all need precise sizing. We build interactive size guides with breed-specific recommendations so customers order the right fit first time — cutting returns and support tickets.
Custom Brand Design
Your pet brand deserves more than a generic template. We design bespoke storefronts that capture your brand personality — whether that's playful and colourful or premium and minimal. Every pixel is intentional.
Mobile-First Shopping
Over 70% of pet product purchases happen on mobile. We build every store mobile-first, with thumb-friendly navigation, fast-loading images, and a checkout flow optimised for on-the-go pet parents.
Speed & Performance
Slow stores lose sales. We hand-code every section with clean, lightweight Liquid — no bloated page builders or unnecessary apps. Your pet store loads fast, ranks higher, and converts better.

Our Process
How We Build Your Pet Store
A proven 5-step process that gets your pet brand online in as little as 7 days.
1
Discovery
We learn about your pet brand, target audience, product range, and goals. We analyse your competitors and identify what will make your store stand out in the pet market.
2
Design
We create a bespoke design direction that captures your brand identity. You'll see your homepage brought to life before we build a single line of code — and we don't move forward until you love it.
3
Development
We hand-code your store using clean Liquid, CSS, and JavaScript. Every section is custom-built — no page builders, no bloat. Just fast, clean code that Shopify loves.
4
Content & Products
We set up your collections, upload products, configure variants and pricing, and populate your store with real content. You get a store that's ready to sell on day one.
5
Launch & Handover
We run a full QA pass across devices, connect your domain, configure shipping and payments, and hand over the keys. Plus a walkthrough so you know how to manage everything yourself.
Neat completely transformed our online presence. Our old store felt generic and didn't reflect our brand at all. The new store is beautiful, fast, and our customers constantly tell us how easy it is to shop. Sales went up 40% in the first month.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Shopify development for pet and animal brands.
How much does a custom Shopify pet store cost?
Our 7-day sprint packages start from £1,500 for a fully custom Shopify store. The exact price depends on complexity — a simple product store will be on the lower end, while stores needing subscriptions, custom breed selectors, or complex filtering will be higher. We'll give you a fixed quote before any work begins.
Can you set up subscription boxes for pet products?
Absolutely. We integrate subscription functionality using apps like Recharge or Loop, configured to match your brand perfectly. Customers can choose frequency, skip deliveries, swap products, and manage everything from their account. We build the entire flow to feel native to your store.
Do you build stores for all types of pets, not just dogs and cats?
Yes — we've built stores for reptile supplies, aquarium equipment, horse tack, bird care, small animal habitats, and more. We tailor the navigation, filtering, and product structure to suit whatever species your brand serves.
Can I manage the store myself after launch?
That's the whole point. We build on Shopify's native theme editor, so you can update text, images, products, and collections without touching code. We also provide a walkthrough session and documentation so you feel confident managing your store day-to-day.
How long does it take to build a pet store on Shopify?
Our standard sprint is 7 days from kickoff to launch. Larger stores with extensive product catalogues, custom features, or multi-language requirements may take 10-14 days. We'll confirm the timeline before starting based on your specific requirements.
