86 Nawala Road, Nugegoda
Open until 06:00 PM
The K-9 is, I think, Colombo's only attempt at a comprehensive pet store. They sell a whole bunch of pet related products like cages, leashes, chew toys, and, strangely, adult diapers (?). You can purchase items for mosts house pets but the shop seems better catered towards the eponymous canine.
Address
Directions
K-9 is on Nawala Road. If you're coming from Nugegoda, it's right past the Urban Wetland Park (Weli Park) on your right, just before the Damro showroom. The number 86 is prominently displayed on a large red sign.

I don't mean to be rude, so I hope no one misunderstands but, really places like K9 are a rip off. Through experience (I have 3 purebreeds) I know you do not need to give them expensive pet food as healthy home cooked food is much better. My dogs get a mix of red rice, lots of veggies and chicken liver, their coats are healthy and shiny and they enjoy the food. They HATE pedigree. LOL. Also Odel is rather idiotic as it is clearly an attempt to make more money off a "supposed pet range" I have been there very recently and their embark section has virtually nothing for dogs except beds and leashes. Everything else is embark clothes.So I think its dumb to advocate pets and yet have nothing for them. Last but not least, Yamu has followed the lead of many so called advisory/review mags and waxes rosy about everything. PLease, if you are going to review something be honest about it, and offer practical tips. K9 staff are rude, it incredibly hot in there and they are overpriced. PLUS the few items I did try out from there (toys) broke on day 1, so zero quality.
personally i think ODEL and Few Arpico's has a Range of Pet Items for a reasonable rate, Recently i went there (recomended by my vet) to buy some toys and a shampoo for my pet Labrador, but unfortunately the prices were really high and the old lady at the counter was really impolite,… personally i think even though it was a pet item shop the owners should be friendly with the customers…
Ah yes, ODEL - I had completely forgotten about their pet range. Thanks a lot, will include that in the review.
Thank you for suggesting Lanka Forage, I just called them about a cat carrier, the Gentleman was very helpful. Its so rarely that one finds eager to please, store staff in sri Lanka . Your mention of Canine Lanka was a great help
Yes, what is with the phone thing. K-9 has wasted enough of my time by not having a phone. There was a time when they were the only store to carry the Nutra Nuggest cat food brand I wanted. They would stock it on and off and there was no way to find out unless you actually went there to check. Yes, I remember the rude lady at the counter too. Mercifully, most supermarkets carry the brand I want now.
I recently went to K-9 to buy some supplies for my new kitten. I'd heard the staff were rude, but I didn't have a problem. They were kind enough to let me use their bathroom, and while their prices are a bit high, there is nowhere else to get litter boxes, nail clippers, or cat toys that I can find.
For cat food I just use the grocery stores, though they don't have kitten food.
For litter, Arpico has a 5kg bag for 1900rs, K-9 has clumping for 2500rs, and that fruit and veg market across from Liberty Plaza has an import shop on the top floor that has regular 5kg bags of litter for 1300, and kitten food.
hi is there a phone number for this store? if you have can you please be kind enough to post it too… it will be very helpful for us…
Strangely they don't seem to have a telephone! We asked them for a number but they insisted there was no phone.
Yes I do agree that the price range is a bit too much but when me and husband got our first puppy K9 was the place to go. The toys looked so darn incredible that I kept thinking to myself that even kids stuff don't look so attractive. And as good as the toys look they last a really long time. So money well spent. And yes i do agree about the feeding bowls they are really good plus If u have a Big dog the double bowl with the stand is worth a shot. The shampoo's for the pets are better than what u get at a high end salon in Colombo but it's way way too expensive. For eg: the blueberry shampoo cost some where around 2K.
As for the lady at the counter who's been around for like ever, she seems a bit strict but once she sees you around a few times she's kind of nice. But K9 is probably the place to visit if you ever want to get your pet something extra nice for once in his life :)
Keells has cheap Pet food. I think. I am new to the "buying pet food" game. Usually I use fresh fish or meat. But it seems when you have a good breed dog you need to feed them pet food time to time. I am doing research these days. So if anybody know a good place where people can buy pet food and other pet items please feel free to post the numbers or information of the place
i need to buy K-9 shampoo for my dog. Is it available in this shop? If not can anyone say a place where i can get it?
Yes, they are unjustlyexpensive and often rude! Most are just cheap Chinese gear not worth the investment. Nothing has changed in ages here and the Royal Canin dog food they used to sell once in a while had worms in the bottom of the pack. This is probably due to unauthorized import and sale resulting in unapproved storage.
Ok peeps don't get Pedigree and other pet food here. Most, if not all pet food being sold in SL aren't suitable for giving to your pet. Make some yourself if you love your dog…
The Pet store at the Hokandara road, close to the Thalawathugoda Junction has some good deals on petfood. I think the 10 Kg Adult food back was around Rs.4600.00 as the same bag cost in major supermarkets (Arpico and Keells) around 5000.00.
your dog is so cuteee :) There are good shampoos available at Best Care Nawala and leading pharmacies
yes i agree that the prices are too high … the shampoo's are really expensive where as i got same from PETVCARE half the pirce and Pets vet at Col 7 … But then again there is no other place to buy all in all pets stuff … the staff with me is very good ofcoz the young ladies are a bit rude and not helpful at all …. well i heard soon enough there opening a new pet store where we can buy variety products worth for money ……
to the comment above me, yes they do have cat litter. and even though it's expensive people you really want the best for their pets (like me) wouldnt mind paying a little bit extra and buying the good stuff other than the cheap ones that arent as good. also they used to have a wonderful variety of things for dogs but now i'm afraid its quite limited. i really hope there will be a new PROPER pet store that opens up in Colombo Soon!
They are still at the same place. They are moving shortly to Nugegoda (no 86) almost next to the Wetland park (Weli park)
They have good quality cat litter . In fact I bought some yesterday. I guess they can be contacted by e.mail on k9group@gmail.com
I went there and bought their cat litter. It's a good one, but they have only one brand. My problem is, that my cat don't like this litter and do his things outside of the box!!! Has anyone an idea, where I can find some other type of cat litter? Thanks a lot for your help!
Anyone feeding Pedigree should chk with a reputed canine authority. Dont think its suitable for any dog.
Hi Daniela,
We will be getting 2 different types of cat litter by early next week. You may try them to see if your cats like them.
Daniela, why spending crazy prices in cat litter, their price here is so ridiculous, plus they are far from the center & yes the staff is miserable! I buy some bags of sand from my Gardener shop, these guys are smily, very helpful (they prepare smaller bag for me so I can carry them easily) and its only Rs.250 for a 5 kg bag + my cat loves it! When they run out of sand, I simply buy some earth, the cat loves it too. The tray, got a cheap one from Arpico and I've ask a guy to build a nice wooden cover for it, to protect it from the rain (the litter is outside on my balcony) Hope this helps :-)
Thanks to all for the comments- both positive and negative. I did not know where they had shifted to as previously they were close to the Narahenpita/Nawala Road junction. I agree that a phone number will be useful to have so that one could check if the items one needs, are available. Tara.
Hi,
I wonder whether we have any other pet shop other than K-9 where we can buy quality stuff at reasonable place around Colombo? If so please let me know. Thank you.

Hi, Do you'll have dog wheelchairs available for a Lion German Shepherd?? Please get back to me asap since my dog is suffering to walk. Thank u so much. Daffy
Hi Daffodili, so sorry about the delayed reply. Your best bet would be to call either Embark or Animal SOS. We know the latter definitely has access to wheelchairs for dogs :)
Visited K-9 about a week back. I have heard that the staff were rude.but I didn't have a problem. The lady who was there was really helpful & the prices were not very high either, a harness for a puppy was Rs.840.00 , Leashes ranging from Rs.350 - 3000, squeaky toys for about Rs.500
IATA Compliant International Pet Carriers (Imported) available

The K-9 has relocated to 86, nawala road, nugegoda. A bit further down the road towards Nugegoda. Close to the Damro showroom.
Guys
I just used http://www.petairtravels.com to send my pet Labrador from Colombo to the UK, and they delivered a very poor service. They didn't communicate properly and did not inform me of the revised import requirements in the UK. Do not use them, they are very unprofessional.
Gregg
I been to The K-9 this morning. The address here is correct. Just two doors from the Damro showroom on Nawala road Nugegoda. No 86 is also prominently displayed with large signage in Red.
The mark up of the pricing is CRAZY! Walked out of the store feeling ripped off.
Even more so, after checking alibaba.
Mid quality products to low end.
Some sort of competition is required in the pet store category, with quality products.
