    I will be launching a new online pet supply store using wordpress and I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions to any clean & professional looking woocommerce templates that would go perfect for pet supplies.

    I found this one, but does it look ok or too cheesy?

    You need a simple theme with lots of white space! How about using Thesis Themes? I believe it would work great!

    That one doesn't look bad at all. A little generic but you might be able to spice it up a little. There is also a petshopper one that looks pretty good. Either way just customize it a little with your own logo or something and it'll make it better :)

    I think you should go for simple one with a lot of while space too. Maybe spice it up a little with images but not too flashy. If you need help in customizing something that you like, I wouldn't mind helping.

    EDIT

    I got to say, the one you choose is actually pretty great and is something I would use if I was doing a pet store.

    I think that theme you've picked out is a really great-looking one, but if you're JUST getting started with your online store, it might have a bit more stuff than you're going to be able to use.

    If you're building your webstore from the ground up, you might want to go with a somewhat simpler theme, something that's got a lot of whitespace and breathing room, as has been suggested here in the thread.

    I only say this, because you can see that there's kind of a lot going on with this theme you've got selected -- and the store that they've mocked up is offering services like grooming and a lot of other stuff, as well. If all you're going to be offering is your inventory, it might be smart to keep the focus on your products. Especially when your store is just getting started and conversion is SUPER important to you from a financial standpoint.
