ABOUT US
Pets Corner was established in 1978 with the idea to support our growing veterinary business at the time. In 1984, we realized that there was an opportunity for the business to stand on its own and venture into the distribution and supply of quality pet nutrition and supplements, hygiene, accessories, healthcare, and other pet-related products in Malaysia and abroad. Pets Corner works with key partners like PVS (India), Health Vision (Japan), Isens (Korea), and Scarecrow (Japan) to bring the best pet products to pet owners.

Customer Service
Pets are our ultimate consumer and pet owners are our primary customers. Understanding and addressing the needs and meeting expectations of each pet owner in providing the finest service is what we do best.Our Team
We are pioneers in pet nutrition and healthcare industry. Pets Corner has served the Malaysian pet industry for more than 35 years. We are happy to have played an important role in the development and changes in the area of providing balanced nutrition for pets, coupled with providing ‘pet friendly’ products and accessories to enhance the level of pet care in this country. This in turn has helped to develop responsible pet owners to be better equipped in nurturing a lifelong bond with their ‘furry’ loved ones.
I believe when a pet enters our home for all the right reasons, the unconditional love and joy that the pet brings along, has no bounds. As pet owners, the focus is on us to ensure proper care for these living beings which are very dependent on us.
Today our distribution network spans the country from East Malaysia to the Peninsular, working closely with specialty pet stores and veterinary clinics. We are actively involved in the shaping of the pet industry with various government bodies namely the Department of Veterinary Services. We are also endorsed by the pet fanciers clubs and associations and partake in various activities throughout the year promoting better care and welfare for all pets.
From a humble beginning of just two members of staff to a workforce of more than 50 staff, we endeavor to provide our Malaysian pet owners with new products and services to further enhance and nurture pet ownership. This includes catering to a wide scope of pets from the traditional dog and cat ownership to exotic animals and birds. Our success in moving to a wider range of species of pets stems from the veterinary expertise of our founder-chairman and our staff (animal lovers in all) who are committed and dedicated to serving the pet industry better.
We are always seeking ways to nurture more awareness in pet ownership by educating the public through pet shows and animal welfare projects. We regularly cover trade and consumer pet shows with NGOs like SPCA and MNAWF. Through contribution of articles in various tabloids and mass media on pet care, we created this website for the benefit of all pet owners, the young and old as well as potential pet owners in the country.
In conclusion, I thank you for visiting our site and I do hope you find our website an interesting resource as well as a product catalog. We are positive that through this site we have advanced with the utilization of information technology, to assist you in line with our motto: “Towards the development of responsible pet ownership.”
