BURLINGTON, ON, Oct. 15, 2020 /CNW/ -- PetSmart, the leading pet specialty retailer in Canada, is making it even easier and faster for your best fur-friend to get their favorite items. Starting October 15^th, 2020, PetSmart Canada will offer on-demand, same-day delivery service powered exclusively through DoorDash, the leading last-mile logistics platform in the United States.

Through PetSmart's partnership with DoorDash Drive—the company's fulfillment platform that powers direct delivery for any business— shoppers can place their orders for same-day delivery on PetSmart.ca or via the PetSmart mobile app. These new options give pet parents even more convenient ways to stock up on their favourite essentials.

"We're thrilled to partner with PetSmart Canada, marking our entry into the Canadian pet retail space, to power their store-to-door delivery experience and provide pet owners with the pet essentials they need on demand."
