About Tails
Amanda's dogs: Keeley, Ninja Dave & Polly
Tails Pet Supplies & Services has 2 locations that cater to the needs of dogs and cats, chickens, goats, horses and pigs, and the occasional ferret, guinea pig or parrot, in the cities of Rossland and Trail, and surrounding areas.
Our passion is the health and well being of your pet. Our knowledgeable and friendly staff’s primary focus is to help you make the right choices for your best friend.
Owner & Founder Amanda Hamilton has a passion for animal welfare, an extensive background in retail and three years of experience working for the BC SPCA. Amanda completed her Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) Dog Trainer Foundations program in 2016 and became a Certified KPA Dog Trainer Professional in 2017. She regularly attends classes at Love 2 Play in Slocan Valley, as well as online, and plans to bring Positive Reinforcement Dog training programs to Tails in the near future.
A year after moving to Rossland, BC in 2006 she decided to open Tails Pet Supplies & Services and bring some much needed pet supplies to the local area. After nine years of steady growth in Rossland, a second location was opened in Trail to the delight of Glenmerry and surrounding residents.
Amanda’s goal with Tails is to bring quality pet food and supplies to her local community and to share her knowledge of pet care and passion for animal welfare with anyone who wants to hear!
