Amazing Amazon is a very special pet store. It isn't the sort of place where you go and buy…read moreyourself dozen dog biscuits and a tin of Pal. It's something much, much cooler than that. This shop specialises in reptiles, birds and aquariums. You want a bird-eating spider? Amazing Amazon is the first place you go. Got a fussy turtle? This shop will sort you out. Want a pet python to freak out your parents when they turn up and want to stay for a week? Check this place out. The service is really good. The guys that I have spoken to there really know about the stuff they sell. I've spent literally hours in there, watching the fish, turtles and stingrays moving around the enormous tanks they have in the showroom. Seriously, you will want to build a giant aquarium in your house after one visit. The products that they sell are priced pretty much what they are elsewhere, but the aquariums seem to be quite reasonable. I stop and have a look every time I can.

I've bought live product from here before and they have made mistakes. That's the worst of it until…read morenow. I bought 2 x electric blue rams 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I see that they have a massive camallanus worm infestation. I contacted them but they ignored me. This is something that has LONG been brewing internally before it comes out. By the time camallanus worms are visible like this, the fish are really sick. That would explain the clamped fin that one of them turned up with. They're selling fish like this. Be warned, Coburg Aquarium will infect your entire tank if you buy fish from them.

Mad About Pets has two stores only two shops apart on Ferntree Gully Road. They are open from…read more9-5.30 every single day of the year except for Christmas. (Public holidays they are open from 10-4). One store is dedicated to all things fish, birds and reptiles - including the live animals themselves. Prices here are really good and the animals are well looked after. The fish tanks are clean and the staff are really good at chasing down the exact specimen you want for your new pet. The second store is for kittens, puppies, small animals and grooming needs. They provide a grooming service here but I have never utilized that. While meandering around their pet toys you can hear the sound of puppies playing and kittens purring - nothing like the kind of pet store where the animals are asleep in tiny boxes. The staff are happy to let you have a hold or a play with the animals. In terms of pet accessories these guys have everything. Albeit groovy dog collars, piles of pet food, mirrors for your birdcage or all manner of fish tanks - you are bound to find it here. They even have a Do It Yourself coin operated dog wash in their store which is always a lot of splashy fun - depending on how well behaved your dog is. Lucky for owners of escape artists it has a reasonably tall gate that prevents your dog from jumping out. I recommend keeping the lead on just in case. This is a really great store for pet lovers and staff turnaround here is pretty slow so if you are a regular you will be greeted by name. Highly recommend this one.

I've used the dog bath at the back of the store a few times and it's really handy. The store has an excellent selection of dry foods and refrigerated meats plus loads of dog treats. Watch your dog if you're walking around the store with them - a little tempting! I've had to purchase a couple of treats unintentionally. I don't really go to the other part of the store with the birds and fish. I like that they now have pet adoption, which I think they have had for a while but I only noticed a few months ago.
