I recently came in just to pick up some food and toys for my budgies, and my partner and I had an…read moreabsolutely incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by both the owner, Augustine, and his daughter. The shop is family operated, local, spotlessly clean, smells great, and is filled with beautiful, healthy birds. While the birds are fantastic, Augustine is the real star of the show. We ended up having a long, wonderful conversation with him. You can instantly tell when someone is genuinely passionate about what they do, and Augustine goes above and beyond. He is incredibly knowledgeable and takes immaculate care of every single bird, from grooming to boarding. Coming here feels like visiting an amusement park because it is that exciting and welcoming. Even if you are just stopping by for basic supplies and not buying a bird, you are made to feel valued just for being there. It truly felt like a privilege to experience a shop like this, which is why I felt absolutely compelled to write this review the second I left. Skip every other shop and bring your business straight here; nothing else compares. Don't let any negative reviews sway you once you step inside and talk to the owner, you will see why this place is unmatched. I am officially a customer for life for all my food, toys, and a new family member in the future.

This was the best reptile shop I've seen in a long time! No smell, everything was so clean. Usually…read moreit's covered in dust, the smell of reptile poop etc. The reptiles were all clean. The cherry on top? The birds! I've seen some shops with personal birds but these guys were incredible! So healthy and friendly with pretty minimal bird noise. All the animals were well cared for and obviously loved. Can't wait to go back. Parking meh, park next door in the lot behind and walk. Well worth the trip.

Highly recommend your grooming shop.

I had previously come here a few times when the service was lacking, tanks weren't maintained and…read moretoo many fish were falling ill. THAT WAS IN THE PAST. There's been major changes recently! Tanks are stunning (clean, sparkly, lively) with new and interesting fish. Their live plant stock has grown and improved as well with some pretty healthy choices. The guys who work here are friendly and knowledgeable. The owner, Chris, is usually there keeping things running smoothly and I learned in our lengthy conversation that the reason for the shop declining back then was due to a family member passing and hardship stemming from that. I am SO impressed at how he pulled through and was dedicated to bringing his business back to life. So the lesson is YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT SOMEONE IS GOING THROUGH. I was quick to judge but now I know that also, running an aquarium shop has so many components/vendors you're dealing with and it's not always going to be perfect. So have some grace. These guys care about the livestock and customers. They'll do their best to be fair and remedy a situation. I've bought some great fish and they have been THRIVING. They even let me adopt a little one eyed betta that no one wanted but now she's living her best life. If I had one gripe it would be not to keep male bettas in tiny little cups, that's just cruel... But as long as they're changing water out everyday it's not enough to pull a star.

Came here to purchase some straw/hay for gardening purposes. After calling to inquire, I was quoted…read morea price per bag rather than a bale. When I arrived, I found out the bag was the size of a kitchen trash can and not a huge lawn/leaf bag. So I decided on two bags. One of the other gentleman employees overheard and recommended a mulch bale instead, he said the can split it in half and bag them for $18 rather $22 and gave 4x more hay. I used to live two blocks from them and always love the small hometown feeling. The are a small business serving the South Bay for decades providing needs to the community at very reasonable prices and the staff is very friendly, that's why I chose them.

7seas is a bit of a mixed bag for me. On the positive side, they have a really great selection of…read morefish and dry goods. Tanks, lights, filters, hardscape, supplies, you name it. They also clearly know what they're doing. The staff is knowledgeable and can answer questions without giving you that blank stare you sometimes get at other aquarium shops. But the pricing is honestly kind of shocking. A lot of their equipment is outrageously overpriced compared to what you can find online or even at other local stores. For example, I saw a UNS double valve connector selling for about $60 when the same thing is easily available online for around $20. They also had the Kessil 35° reflector priced at $50, and I've never seen those go for more than $30 or $35 anywhere else. I get that local fish stores have overhead and can't always compete with online pricing, and I'm totally fine paying a little more to support a brick and mortar shop. But some of these markups feel excessive. If you need something immediately and don't mind paying a premium, it's a solid store with good selection and knowledgeable staff. Just be prepared for some pretty steep prices on certain items. Overall I'd say it's worth visiting, but definitely price check before buying equipment.

Dear PetSmart Management,…read more I am writing to report a deeply disturbing incident of animal cruelty that I witnessed at your Torrance location on Pacific Coast Highway. While I was at the store, an unleashed husky puppy ran up to greet me. Shortly after, a woman grabbed the puppy very aggressively by the scruff, causing it to cry out. Following this, the man she was with proceeded to choke the puppy and yell at it. When I confronted them and stated that their actions were wrong and that the authorities should be called, the man began yelling at me. This was a horrific experience, and I am incredibly shaken by what I saw. I urge you to review your security camera footage from today to identify these individuals, as this incident needs to be reported to the authorities immediately Staff is wonderful
