REAL PETS. REAL FOOD. REAL HEALTHY.
Welcome to Bone & Biscuit Co. Riverside!
What started as a dream blossomed into reality when Tara Edwards opened the first Bone & Biscuit Jensen Lake location in St. Albert. Now, that dream has taken an incredible leap forward with the inauguration of Bone & Biscuit Riverside. Tara, the proud owner of both stores, is thrilled to expand her pet-loving community and extend a warm welcome to all customers.
Our doors officially swung open on October 13th, doubling the reasons to adore our locally owned & operated pet haven. Tara is eager to introduce you to the unmatched offerings of her second establishment, promising an experience that's twice as delightful.
THE ROOTS OF A ST. ALBERT PET STORE TO BE PROUD OF
Tara's journey began with a mission to fill a void she noticed in local pet stores—a lack of top-notch customer service. Her aspiration was to elevate the pet supply shopping experience in St. Albert by providing not just products but also a team of knowledgeable experts dedicated to assisting pet owners in caring for their furry companions.
“[When I opened] the first location, it was funny because I moved here from Grande Prairie. My friend Lisa Boe had one [Bone & Biscuit store] at the time in Grand Prairie [now she has two], and after I relocated I was looking for a store for my senior dog. I went into all the pet food stores here in Saint Albert and I didn’t get good customer service and I thought, man, do I wish that there was a Bone & Biscuit here. I always got great service from Lisa and her staff. So then I went home, and I was thinking “Well, why, isn’t there a Bone & Biscuit in St. Albert?” And then what do I do next? I sent an email inquiring. They replied right away and said “Yes, we are looking at bringing a Bone & Biscuit into Saint Albert,” and they chose me. Over two other applicants as well, so I’m very blessed to have the first location,” says Tara.

When the chance to establish a second, more bustling location arose in St. Albert, Tara knew it was an opportunity she couldn't miss.
“The second location is a bonus. This location is going to be busier than my first one. We are located next to a dog park and a grocery store that is under construction right now. The club grocery store brings in 70,000 transactions per month. So hopefully, all that traffic comes our way. So I’m really excited about the new location,”adds Tara.
Conveniently situated off McKenney Avenue amidst numerous stores, residential areas, the Lacombe Lake Dog Park, and the upcoming grocery store, Bone & Biscuit Riverside aims to be the go-to destination for pet owners in the area. Plus, being just a short 10-minute drive from the first location, Tara hopes to extend the same exceptional experience closer to your doorstep.
