Fressnapf runs an established Austrian store network, with the company's own communications marking 25 years of Fressnapf Österreich in business — a long enough presence to make it the most reliable single chain to search for while travelling, stocking food, carriers, leads and basic health and grooming products.

Das Futterhaus is a second well-established chain, operating in Austria as Das Futterhaus – Österreich Handels GmbH & Co. KG, with branches registered across multiple Austrian states through the Wirtschaftskammer Österreich (WKO), the national economic chamber. Between these two chains, most larger Austrian towns have at least one dedicated pet store within reasonable reach.

Supermarkets also stock a basic range of pet food and everyday essentials, which is often the most convenient option for a quick top-up rather than a dedicated shopping trip, though the range is naturally narrower than either specialist chain.
