For those not aware, Littlest Pet Shop was originally a toyline produced by Kenner in the 90s. The toys looked much more "realistic" compared to the Habsro iteration, and the presentation went all in on the pet shop theming - it looks like you're seeing the pet/playset through a store window:

The reputation of pet shops as a good place to buy a dog or cat was already waning by the 90s, and it was certainly dated by the 2000s when Hasbro rebooted the line. The packaging now bore no resemblance to the "shop" theming:

Despite the name and the "How big is YOUR Littlest Pet Shop?" tagline, the pet shop theming is largely vestigial in the actual toy design. The pets are more like little fashion dolls, with accessories, furniture, housing, and even vehicles sized as if there's a whole pet society, absent of human pet owners. Their further anthropomorphized, chibi design only adds to this.

Even the "Biggest Littlest Pet Shop" playset, taken with the rest of the line, looks more like a place that the pets themselves would shop at:

[This isn't even mentioning the numerous non-pet animals that there are LPS of. When the Kenner iteration produced bears and tigers, it was part of a "zoo" sub-line, for Hasbro's LPS they're just right alongside your usual cats dogs and hamsters.]
