Buying the perfect gift for your friends and family is a must for most during the holiday season, but don’t leave out something special for the pets or pet lovers in your life! Shop local at one of the many small businesses in Grays Harbor and spoil your pet this holiday season.
Marshall’s Garden & Pet
319 S I Street, Aberdeen

A staple in downtown Aberdeen for over 60 years, Marshall’s Garden & Pet is a must-stop store for all of the pet lovers in Grays Harbor.

For those with more exotic pets, Marshall’s carries reptile food and care items that will keep them content into the new year.
