Our Story


There are some things in life that change the way you see the world. For me, serving my country was one of them.

As a disabled veteran, I know what it means to face difficult seasons, adapt to change, and keep moving forward even when life doesn't look the way you once imagined it would.

But through all of that, there has always been something simple that brings comfort, animals.

They don't care about your past. They don't judge you by what you've been through. They simply give you companionship, loyalty, and a reason to smile on days when you might need it most. That is part of what inspired Big Griz Critter Corner.

I didn't want to build just another place where people come to buy something for their pets. I wanted to create something that represents the bond we share with the animals we call family.

Because to many of us, they're not "just pets."

They're there when we're having a good day. They're there when we're having a hard one. They become part of our routines, our homes, our memories, and sometimes even the moments that help us get through life.

That's the kind of connection I want Big Griz Critter Corner to stand for.

Every product, every customer, and every interaction is an opportunity to make life a little better for someone's critter, and for the person who loves them.

My hope is that this business can grow beyond a store and become a community built around compassion, responsible pet care, and the simple belief that our animals deserve the very best we can give them.

From my journey to yours, thank you for being here.
