About Us
Building stronger bonds between Pet Owners & their Furry Friends within the Community
At MERCADO PET, our journey began with a deep love for our Brazilian Maltese, Lila, and a passion for providing the best for our pets. As Brazilian immigrants with an entrepreneurial spirit, we created MERCADO PET to share that love with others by offering high-quality, affordable products that make a difference in the lives of pets and their owners.
Lila’s charming and affectionate nature inspired us to curate a selection of products that bring joy and comfort. And with the arrival of Chloe, our playful Shih Tzu/Maltese mix, we’ve expanded our mission even further, dedicating ourselves to meeting the diverse needs of pets everywhere.
MERCADO PET is more than a store — it’s your pet's wellness & convenience store built on love, care, hard-work and the joy our pets bring to our lives. We’re here to share that with you and your furry friends, every day.
🇧🇷 What’s in a Name? MERCADO Means More Than You Think...
In Portuguese, "MERCADO" means grocery store — a place to pop in, pick up something fresh, and discover something new. Just like your favourite neighbourhood stop, but for pets!" 🧺🐾✨
At MERCADO PET, we’ve taken that spirit and added a tropical twist — blending our Brazilian roots with vibrant, joyful, and thoughtfully curated products for your pets. From nourishing treats and grooming rituals to colourful accessories full of flair, we’re here to bring you a truly unique pet experience inspired by the markets, beaches, and wild beauty of Brazil. 🌴🐾🌺
Inspired by Brazil. Loved by pets. Found at MERCADO PET.

🍦🐾 Inspired by a Brazilian Summer Classic - our new frozen Ice Pops treats for pets were inspired by something close to our hearts — the beloved “geladinho”, a classic Brazilian summer refreshment enjoyed by kids and families for generations. Also known as sacolé, dindim, or chup-chup depending on the region, these frozen delights are a staple of hot summer days in Brazil — full of flavour, fun, and nostalgia. 🏖️💛
They come in endless fruity and creamy flavours, are shared among friends, and bring back memories of childhood, sunshine, and playful afternoons. So we thought — why not bring this cultural favorite to our furry friends? 🐶🐱 They are fun, hydrating, wholesome treats made with love and natural ingredients, perfect for cooling down on warm days.

The Very Beginning
Humble beginnings, inspired by love. 💚
We began with a simple dream and a booth at local flea markets, where we first shared our custom dog walking sets by Lila Pawtique Brand — inspired by our beloved Lila, the pup who sparked it all. Her joyful spirit and stylish strut still guide everything we do, from collars to community. What started small has grown into a place where pets and their people feel at home. 🐾
We're proud of our humble begginings!
Shop Local Vendors
Find the unique pet-friendly products to show some Love locally.
We believe in the power of community — that’s why we’re proud to support small, local businesses who create thoughtful, high-quality products for pets and the people who love them. From handcrafted accessories and treats to wellness items and stylish finds for pet parents, we carefully choose partners who share our passion for care, creativity, and connection. Every local product on our shelves tells a story — and when you shop small, you help those stories grow. 🐾❤️
