Gaiser Pets - Kittens for adoption through Deb's Claws and Paws inside Gaiser's... - Pet Stores Near Me - Yuba City, California

Hubby dragged me in here on a whim one day. Honestly, I liked this place more than I thought I would. It's way bigger than it looks on the outside, and pretty well stocked. They had my bestie's dog's super-hard-to-find food, so that gives them some points. I think the biggest reason to go here is probably the fish and reptile area (besides having hard-to-find food/ supplies). They have a cool aquarium "cave" that's divided into two branches; salt water and fresh water. We spent close to 30 minutes staring at the fish and playing with the turtle that was walking around the store. They have some cool lizards and some marine life I've never seen in a pet store. Pet lobster anyone? Hubby was begging me to let him buy a baby dragon (I didn't let him), but it was worth looking around for a while - lot's of cool stuff to see. No puppies (thank god, it's always so sad), but a couple groups of baby kittens, little birds and lots of lizards, fish and mice (which might have been more food than pet). The thing that weirded me out about this place was that they had a HUGE stack of bibles that you could take for free. I know it's a religious area, but you should probably be handing out math books or something useful. Leave the bibles for churches to distribute and keep your pet store neutral. If I opened a store and had a stack of Korans or Torahs I know people would throw a FIT, so I'd prefer if people kept their religions to themselves in places like pet stores and showed a christian understanding of difference of opinion. I probably will continue shopping at Petco or Petsmart or whatever is cheaper because I have one dog that doesn't require any special food or accessories and unfortunately for small businesses, I'm not rich and I'll sell my soul to the lowest bidder. If my husband bugs me enough, we will come back here to buy a dragon or some cool fish :) read more

Gaiser Pets - Pet Stores Near Me - Yuba City, California

Decent place, knowledgeable staff (but aren't very friendly if you ask me) and they have a decent selection of Salt water Aquarium products and livestock, which is what I come here for. One thing that I do not like about them is that it took the guy who does the aquatics a long time convince himself that I actaully know what I'm talking about. Although, I have a feeling that he still doesn't believe it. The first time that I went there I asked him if they have any books on Salt water aquariums, and his answer was pretty much "No, I'd prefer to just tell people what they need, books offer contradicting opinions" I like reading, books, and am really well researched on products before I just go buying them, I'm very familiar with the concept of contradicting opinions. Any body who walks into a pet store and hasn't done any type of reasearch on what they're looking for and instead just takes the salesperson advice on everything.... sounds like a sucker to me. Overall, I order the books I'm interested in reading about on the topic from Amazon, and am willing to transport most of my coral purchases from bigger cities with better stores, but I always come in here to check out what they've got anyway... As far as non aquarium purchases are concerned, they're much better. They have a good selection of dog foods and products along with cat products as well. While they are a little expensive and not necissarily something that I couldn't find at another pet store or walmart I do enjoy supporting a small, local owned company. read more

Pricey and stuck up. Don't forget your Bible...but if you do, they will toss one in your face. I am a believer in our Lord God, but there is a time and place and to shove that in someones face while shopping is not tactful. read more

Good Service, Great Selection of Pets (Large selection of reptiles and fish) and Pet products. They are always extremely helpful and knowledgeable when we go in. They are not a chain or a franchise so they take pride in their store. I prefer them to the large wholesale type stores such as PetSmart, PetCo, and V.I.P. Pets etc. Go in and take a look around, you won't be sorry :D and it's a good place to take the kids as well~ read more

First time in this so called pet store. I have 14 reptiles and I consider my wife an I experienced owners. After seeing the conditions of the animals and their environments we decided to leave. Specifically we saw a amazon tree boa that was severely sick. We do own a green tree python which is similar. It was severely under fed and dehydrated. It thought we were going to feed it and tried at making an attempt to eat but could not hold its head up. It was super skinny and looked terrible, we couldn't believe it! Almost every enclosure was full of feces including the water bowls.. we left immediately, super sad! read more

The best pet store in the world, Richard, Brandon, and the mother Teresa of kittens. What an amazing selection of animals, so happy we stumbled upon this little oasis of love. Everyone who worked there was wonderful. The animals seemed healthy and happy. Making this a must-go-to stop on our trips to Oregon! read more

I love this pet store! Deb is an amazing lady with the animals. We got our kitten from her and love her so much! She is doing great and I love this pet store! read more

See all

This is an awesome pet store. Their prices are very competitive even with online retailers. We buy our Orijen dog food here. Their selection on anything is pretty large especially for not being a chain store. Have found some aquarium chemicals here that I could only find online before. Love their fresh water selection. I have never seen any sick fish here. This is our family's go to pet store. read more

One of my best friends took me here after a weekend of hiking. She knew I would love the fish and would love to meet Franklin. We were immediately greeted by friendly staff upon entering the building. The staff, proved to be very knowledgeable of the animals to which they sell, and you can sense they really love their job. Franklin was awesome as well (despite having to jump and leap to avoid his void), he managed to trap us in the back area so we had to wait for him to move clear of the door- we managed to get a good laugh out of it. Onto the fish. Such a great variety of both salt water and fresh water fish- and great prices. I walked away with two live snails, two snail shells that resembled baseball stitches and 2 guppies which I believe was one mail and one female. Austin assisted us with getting our fish while we were there - he was amazing and knew all about the care and different species of fish, it was clear that he as well as the rest of the staff love their job and take care of the fish and the habitats. read more

Shout out to Jeff at Gaiser Pets, we bought a Greek Tortoise for my daughters birthday as a surprise, and we had a minor issue once we got the tortoise home , I called and spoke to Jeff and he took care of it right away. Now my baby will have her birthday surprise just in time! Thanks so much Jeff!!! read more

Ashley was a huge help with picking out a guinea pig. She was very nice and knowledgeable.

I freakin love this place! Not only do they have kittens but they have rats! I love rats and I've never seen them at any other pet store. I just love how exotic this pet store is it's so fun. read more

Gaiser Pets is the only pet store I go to that continues to discourage me, I do not know about others, but every time I go to purchase something it is a lecture about the pet & questions about what type of equipment I have. Another thing is the employees actively avoid customers, I waited for help one time for 10 minutes as employees walked passed me before just walking out. All the employees are not like this, some are professional but I used to love this store! Not so much anymore, so, its either drive 30-45 minutes or wait a couple days for Amazon. However, I like supporting local businesses just would like them too be professional. read more

This pet store is beyond expensive, I went in looking for a kitten, since I already have a Siamese ( not 100% Siamese he's adopted) I wanted another one, so I asked the employee if the Siamese there are registered because the price is 250.00!!!!! She went to ask the owner, so the owner came back and said oh no these cats are basically abandon they don't have their registration papers wth!! If your going to sell cats that your charging 250.00 because they are supposivly Siamese you should have registration papers. Ps adult cats are 150.00 ?????? read more

This place is amazing! a couple days ago i took a walk down plumas st and decided to go in the pet store. I found a fish tank that i wanted and it was very large. I knew it was to large to carry. The associate (BLAKE) then offered to push it in a shopping cart all the way to my house (which he did). this place rocks!! Best customer service ever! read more

I am absolutely livid with this place after loosening our family dog my daughter was devastated so she asked for a lizard for Christmas.. We bought the whole set up for one but she had to wait just a lil bit after Christmas to get it tell I came up with the rest of the $ we needed to purchase it.. So on 1/11/21 I took her there to get her lizard there was only ONE left in the tanks so thats what she got after purchasing the we made sure everything in the tank was right the temperature & all the next day she had taken it out to show my daughters boyfriend & not even 5mins after she put it back in the tank it had flipped over on to his back & DIED.. we hadn't had it 24hours, But Giaser was closed for the night already so I told her after school we would b taking it back to exchange it or for a refund.. we got there & the man said "we have NO WARRENTY for those"... I said I wish someone had of told me that & I wouldn't of bought it here.. He said clearly its posted all over the store well I didn't c ANY SIGN that said that then he proceeds to tell me it was OUR FAULT cuz our Terrarium is to "Tall".. REALLY..? & its not like we had the thing for months it was LESS THEN 24HOURS they could have made a exception & its absolutely ridiculous to me that he acted like we r at fault.. so Thank u Giaser for ur compation for my daughter who waited very patiently for her new pet that is now devastated all over again Way to go... She's devastated & I'm out of $ & can't just go "Buy Her Another" So Thank u so much for ur help in the future we will not b buying anything from there.. & also y isn't anyone in the store wearing a mask..???? read more

Have been buying fish from there with no problems, Have been recommending them to everybody I know who buys pets and the one time I have a problem I got so much attitude and was told it's all my fault that the fish died when it absolutely was not and was hung up on. Bought a figure 8 puffer came back one day later for the other figure 8 puffer, the first puffer made it but the second one we got died which doesn't make sense considering they're from the same tank. Also bought a rope fish that they failed to tell me that they will hop out of the Tank, He is also dead but that is kind of our own fault because we obviously weren't paying close attention to watch him hop out. The puffer fish Has no excuse. She was lethargic when we got her, thinking that she just couldn't move very well because of it's little puffer fins but the poor girl was already on her way out to begin with. They basically told us they can test our water but I told him we have at home testing and our levels are perfect! that is it $40 down the drain and two animals gone I am furious! Also the original puffer is thriving! Doesn't make sense. read more

absolutely horrible place for these animals. I hope someone does something about this. There was an extremely large dog in a cage that was meant for a small or medium sized dog. The cages were stacked on top of eachother. The cats looked sick. Very dirty establishment in general. It smells. Not sanitary at all. I feel bad for those poor animals. read more

They seem to have gone down hill the last few years. Before we would never go to the chain stores, we'd always head downtown to their store. The store didn't used to have the strong pet smell to it. I was always impressed that they must keep the animals areas so clean to have it not smell so bad. But in the last few years it smells very strongly. Over the last few years I've also noticed that the people working there seem less and less interested in being there. They used to keep their bunnies in big open areas with toys to play with and treats. Now they are crammed in small cages with little/no interaction or attention. We stopped in on Sunday and one of the guinea pigs was biting and pulling on the end of the water bottle and a quick glance told me it had no water. When the other guinea pig in the cage saw I was touching the water bottle it ran over and they both kept trying to get some water out of it. When I pointed it out to the person working there she said "yeah, I'm getting ready to feed the animals" with an annoyed tone. It was around noon and there is no way those two small guinea pigs emptied the bottle overnight so who knows how long they had been without water. Wouldn't you check stuff like water before closing up the night before? It is a shame, I'm sure they blame the slowdown in business on the 2 chain stores in town but generally I'd rather go to the dentist than shop one of those two other stores. But anymore I prefer the chains to Gaiser. read more

Decent prices on fish. Knowledgeable sales staff goes beyond the call of duty by volunteering to sample fish tank water to ensure proper pH balance and water hardness. Always a great experience buying products and "window shopping" the wide array of fish they have. read more

good old school style pet store, its not ur fancy coporate petco/smart , its the way i remember pets stores as a kid friendly cramped in with stuff and careing people who work there. Got my dog a great chew tow for under 5 bucks that was even all natural plus a cool new sticker for my car. the fish selection is great the birds are amazing great looking reptiles and all in good shape. carry some of the brands uyou cant find in the coporate stores which is nice if you have a animal that needs some of these grain free or specialty foods. read more

Awesome place!! Was sad to see such negative reviews! They do have so many animals, but come on people they rescue them!!! Where else have you seen so many animals that have a home, a place to play and eat, and they get their shots and fixed!! These people truly care about these animals! Just adopted my forever fur baby from here a little kitten, she is doing amazing! Using the liter box and as happy as can be! Great place to adopt!!!! read more

In my opinion this is the best pet place in town. The have a great selection of pet items and will always special order for anything you need. The staff have always bent over backwards for me to meet my needs. If you like to support local business please support this place and NOT the big chain pet stores. read more

Large selection of fish in the back. Reptils, rabbits, hamsters, birds and guinea pigs are a constant. On occassion there will be someone with a pen of adorable puppies. read more

They have a nice selection of pet food. I love the fact that they carry Evo and Orijen, which can be hard to find sometimes. I will definitely be coming back again. read more

I think the manager was the most helpful person I have ever met - I asked him for a recommendation on dog food for my cavalier king charles - and I feel he really cared and gave me a dog food that is so healthy and good for her - I used to order my dog food from New York - only the best! Also - the most outstanding thing was him recommending a lady who gives teeth cleaning to dogs without anesthesia! She wraps the dog in warm towels and exudes confidence and love for the dog and cleans their teeth without putting them out! This was absolutely the best - my dog was done in an hour and she was as happy and calm as could be - not that drugged out zombie look from the vet's office - also it was $100 instead of $400! I love this store and have nothing but respect for an organization that lives and breathes customer service. AMEN! read more

Hands down the best in the business these guys are knowledgeable, friendly and priced the right way I have been buying from Heiser pets for years I would easily recommend them to friends and family. Thanks Heiser pets read more

If you want to buy any type of fish, this is your store . The owner Jeff is remarkably intelligent and really puts fourth all his effort to answer all your questions. All the staff is tremendously helpful polite and patient read more

Three stars for great selection of live pets, spacious location. Only three stars due to indifferent troll on payroll who would barely speak to us when we asked a question about feeding some new sea snails...c'mon dude removing whatever that nasty shit was with little baby tongs couldn't have been more important than helping customers. Also as others have said it does seem people care little about cleanliness and subsequently the eau de porta potty perfume does linger...wanna see em get better, hope it happens. Trolls aren't a protected employee group! read more

Every time I go there for the occasional purchase of a feeder mouse for my sons tarantula, the demeanor of the cashier always reflects the actions of someone not wanting to go out of their way to service you as a customer. Other than that, the store is very well stocked for all of the things you'll need to take great care of your pet(s) you may have. Their selection far out weighs that of the national pet store chains in the area. read more

Worst place to go to. Don't know anything about birds or dogs. They lie to sell there own products. They will say anything to sell you something. I would never go back after the third time I went there read more

Great place, only place i go for any of my fish, cat or dog needs. Been there plenty of times and i have never had anyone ask/tell/mention anything about the bibles they have sitting by their door labeled "free" read more

This pet store recently reduced their bird inventory which makes the store seem cleaner. Great variety of reptiles. They seem to be cleaning constantly and improving on the smell. Fun to see random turtle and iguana roaming the store. read more

Omg we love this place ! We buy all of our pet food from here and they have the best prices around for the "taste of the wild" dog food! And it's always fun to come in and see all the different animals / employees feeding them. All of the employees are very helpful and seem to really care about animals! read more

Good store. Sells some of the better pet food such as Orijen, EVO, Canidae, Taste of the Wild, and more. And at decent prices. A huge fish selection, they also have reptiles, rabbits, and birds. On some Sunday's they have a local rescue bring in animals up for adoption. For the most part staff is friendly and helpful. But it can be hit and miss. I've had a few bad experiences too. read more

Excellent place, by far the best place around, they have a big selection of saltwater fishes and reptiles and the staff has good knowledge and friendly. read more

Great pet store, excellent service, and knowledgable staff! The perfect combination for a store dedicated to your four legged family member! Can't recommend them enough! read more

Love the atmosphere of the store, the animals seem to be having fun as they let some of them have a bit of free range on the store haha. Lovely selection, the manager is extremely friendly. It's a great place! The only complaint I have is when I went there the two employees were quite rude to me. One made me and my father wait until he was done conversing with his friend and the proceeded to act very off-putting while grabbing some fish for us. The other when asked something just mumbled and didn't seem to want to give a straight-forward answer. He just didn't seem to care! It was a little disheartening. read more

Haven't been here since I was a kid. I forgot how much fun it is to go see all the animals. I love how laid back the staff is with the animals yet professional! They have a great selection definitely will be back when I'm ready to adopt a pup! read more
