In an era where pet ownership continues to evolve beyond basic care, Audubon residents have discovered a neighborhood treasure in Garden State Pet Center, where premium pet nutrition meets specialized care services.
The family-owned establishment, located at 226 S White Horse Pike, has cultivated a reputation for going beyond typical pet store offerings. Owner Victor Santucci explains the philosophy that drives the business: “At Garden State Pet Center, we don’t just sell pet products—we educate and support pet owners in making the best choices for their animals.”
This educational approach is particularly evident in the store’s nutritional guidance. With certified pet nutritionist expertise on staff, customers receive personalized recommendations for their animals, whether they’re seeking advice on raw diets, freeze-dried nutrition options, or TCVM-based feeding strategies tailored to specific health needs.
“Our focus is on high-quality, holistic pet nutrition. Whether it’s freeze-dried raw, gently cooked meals, or specialty supplements, we ensure pets get the best,” notes the Garden State team. This commitment extends to their product selection, featuring premium brands including Open Farm, Petcurean go! Solutions, Nulo, and Health Extension alongside specialty items like waterproof Martingale collars and human-grade treats that owners can safely share with their pets.
The store’s inventory reflects their commitment to ethical sourcing practices. “We believe in ethical sourcing and responsible pet care, which is why we offer only the best foods, supplies, and services for our customers,” Santucci affirms.

For those seeking companions rather than just supplies, Garden State Pet Center offers a diverse selection of birds, reptiles, small mammals, and amphibians. Their pet services further distinguish them from corporate competitors, with specialized offerings including bird and small mammal grooming, pet boarding, avian DNA and disease testing, and complimentary local delivery for essential supplies.
Community engagement remains central to the store’s mission. Regular educational events, vendor demonstrations, and seasonal promotions create opportunities for pet owners to deepen their knowledge while connecting with fellow animal enthusiasts.
The combination of specialized knowledge, premium products, and personalized service has established Garden State Pet Center as a destination for discerning pet owners seeking alternatives to impersonal chain stores. Local residents can explore service offerings or schedule consultations by visiting their store location or calling 856-617-6871.
