OkanagansPetConnection - Our Story
Established in the Okanagan

It Started with a
Frenchie.

What began as a small meetup group for two French Bulldogs has grown into the Okanagan's premier pet destination. We set out to create more than just a store—we wanted to build a family.

"Our goal isn't just to sell products. It's to help one dog and cat at a time, building a community where every pet feels at home."

Hey there! I’m Naomi Unger

I’m the Chief Treat Officer here at Okanagan’s Pet Connection. I opened this shop because I wanted to do things a little differently. My goal was to create a true one-stop shop that combines premium treats and food with a genuine "home away from home" feel.

With over 25 years in pet retail, my mission is to share the knowledge and passion I’ve gathered over the decades with our local community. If you’re dealing with the frustration of allergies or sensitivities, I’d love to help. Having owned and loved French Bulldogs for more than 14 years, I’m no stranger to the unique challenges that come with sensitive systems. I’ve been through it all, and I’m here to help you find solutions that work.

Our mission is simple: happy dogs and happy humans. Come by for a visit, let your pup sniff out a new favorite toy, and join our local pack!
