About Us
Blue Barn is 100% BC-owned and operated. Established in 2016 by Kris Koop, we are proudly Canadian and work hard to provide excellent customer service while also supporting pet rescues and community organizations.
We’re more than a pet-store; we like to think of ourselves as a pet community, offering high-quality pet products for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles and small pets. We also carry food and supplies for your farm friends! We love all pets and hold a special place in our hearts for pets in shelters which is why we support local pet rescues with a variety of events throughout the year.

We have three locations in BC, in Castlegar, Terrace and Osoyoos as well as the e-commerce store BlueBarn.Shop.
Community Fundraising Activities
Pet Food Challenge
For the past several years in April, we’ve hosted the Pet Food Challenge. One pound of pet food is donated to local pet charities for every 10 lbs of food sold. So far, we’ve donated over 10 tons of food to pets in need. Special thanks to our brand partners who make this possible.
Fundraising Calendar
Every fall we unveil our Fundraising Calendar that’s packed with dozens of pet photos submitted by pet parents from across Canada. ALL of the proceeds from the sale of the calendar are donated to BC charities. We’ve raised over $50,000 with this project in the last two years. From January to June of each year we accept photo submissions for our Photo Contest.
We’re pet parents too and we’re happy to share our knowledge. If you’re looking for sound advice, call or email us. And if you’re looking for a product but can’t find it on our website, let us know and we’ll see if we can find it for you.
Pet Adoption Coupon Book
If you’re looking to add a new pet to your family, please consider rescuing a homeless pet.
We offer a Pet Adoption Coupon Book if you adopt from a registered charity. Each book has a value of over $400 on food, treats and supplies. To get your coupon book just visit one of our locations. Sorry, but this program is not yet available online.
Here are a few of the rescues that we support.
