Very clean and well kept. The girl there helped me greatly, gave me advice and helped me so much with my new pet. I will be returning.

Gem Birds
(3 reviews)
Gem Birds has been around for many years, but has only recently relocated to Paddy's Market. I…read moredon't recall much about the previous location (which was a little further down Main North Road), but I thought I'd check out the new store. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the fact that he front of the store seems very cramped with cages on either side of you. It's quite claustrophobic, but when you walk to the back it's a little more open with larger cages and consequently larger birds. The problem with the cramped front end of the store is that the cages tend to smell. I understand this is normal when selling animals so I'd hardly call it a criticism. The staff really know their stuff when it comes to birds. They are happy to discuss your situation and which bird would suit you, as well as options for raising and possibly training your new feathered friend. To assist with the training they offer a wing clipping service so your bird will stay grounded while you teach some tricks to impress your friends. Cages are available out the front of the store for all sizes of bird, as are toys to keep your little friend entertained while you're not around. Once again, staff can advise you of appropriate cage sizes and toys. Don't let the initial smell put you off. If you want a bird or advice on how to raise or train a bird, this is the place to go.
To start off, ever since I came out of the store I am itchy all over. I believe they have bird…read moremites which I somehow bought home with me! Not happy! Went here early in the morning and the place is so disgusting. The smell I understand. The floor was thick (and when I say thick, mean thick!) with bird seeds, enough for someone to slide then slip. I know birds do throw birds seeds/empty seed shells about but come on, this is an hour after opening do they not sweep or vacuum the day before or at all? There are empty cabinet cages thick with dust and cobwebs. There's layers of dust on their products, which puts me off purchasing. The only good thing about them is their customer service, the guy there was very helpful. Never going back in there again.
Pets Everywhere

Pets Everywhere used to be called Northside Pets, so I'm not sure if it was a management change or…read morewhat but essentially it's got the same stock with not much change. They have exotic pets like snakes, lizards and other reptiles and also spiders - eek! I will not be anywhere near those things and it's a good thing they dont' sell Mortein as I'd be armed and dangerous with a can. It's a big shops and there's alot of pet stock under the roof with equipment, food, supplies and all sorts of weird pets and the norm and nfortunately they do sell kittens. But there are other furry creatures like rabbits and guinea pigs and if you don't want to get that close there's always fish.
This pet shop keeps birds in a way that isn't good for their health and welfare…read more I visited this shop about 3 weeks ago and there is a room where they keep the birds for sale. The room's cold, has a concrete floor and no natural light. Birds need natural full spectrum light in order for their bodies to make vitamin D and enable them to have the correct sleeping patterns. They should at least have full spectrum light bulbs. The room has parrots in triple-decker cages. The birds in the top and middle cages get artificial light, but the parrots in the lowest cages are living in deep shadow and it's distressing to see how these birds cope with this. The one sole occupant in the lowest cage has no tail feathers left and is continually climbing to reach the upper corners of its cage to try to access some of the light - anyone can see this is an anxious and unhappy bird. The room also contains box cages full of about 30 - 40 finches. The owners have only been bothered putting up the one perch for this many finches in a single cage. Every centimetre of this perch is used by the finches; when one bird moves they're all forced to move. The rest of the birds have to sit on the ground and would also have to roost on the ground at night. This is bad for their feet - birds need to be able to perch, especially at night when they roost. They're also forced to spend extended periods of time overnight on a floor full of bird droppings, obviously not good for their health. On a closer look at the cage there is a bracket to support a second perch. These people have clearly just been too lazy to bother putting in a second perch for such a high number of these birds. A friend told me he'd gone in there once and saw a pair of very young budgie chicks just sitting in the corner on the floor. They were clearly too young to have been taken from the nest but here were these people putting them into this cage without even adequate perching and trying to sell them before they were properly ready to leave the nest. The way the owners keep these birds shows no regard for their welfare and these people are denying these birds' the opportunity to engage in essential natural behaviors like accessing enough light, the ability to perch and the ability to avoid having to sit in bird droppings. Not good at all.

Pets Domain is a nice big spacious pet store. The first thing I notice is that this place has…read moreorganisation down pat. To some people that may look a little sterile and I understand that. Pet stores are supposed to be warm and welcoming places. I say, let's give it a chance first. Right at the back of the store are the animals for sale. There are puppies available in glass enclosures at the back wall. They're not cramped quarters, but they're not too roomy either. I guess you have to compromise when it comes to space. Still, they do have a lot of it. Staff politely greet you upon entry and say goodbye as you leave. They also like to ask if you found what you were looking for as you approach the counter. The place is rarely busy so I guess they need to kill the time somehow. I do find the "over the top customer service" thing annoying, but as far as I'm concerned they haven't overstepped the boundaries yet. They have a good selection of store, though the prices are a little heftier than some other places. There is a good selection of food as well, and if you're struggling to find the only food your picky dog will touch then you may find it here.
Petstock
Pet Stock is a store that encourage you to bring in your four legged friends to help you with your…read moreshopping. The store is huge with a concrete floor that seems to be very common with large pet stores. If you do decide to bring your best friend in with you, you can give him/her a bath at the back of the store. This is quite commonly used and it's quite cute seeing dogs enjoying their baths. They really do have a large range of stock here, hence the name I suppose. Dog treats can be found at the front of the store, with housing options for dogs, fish, birds etc scattered throughout. You don't have to bring your dog though. I've seen people walk into the store with parrots on their shoulders. I assume these birds have their wings clipped, but the staff are always ready to help with your pet and like to make a fuss of them. It's one of the friendliest pet stores I've ever been to.
Aggies Aquariums

They have marine's as well as tropicals and coldwater fish. The livestock is always in such good condition - Aggie's acclimatise incoming stock rather than putting it straight out in the tanks, which helps ensure everyone gets healthy fish. There is just about every kind of accessory you can think of here, all kinds of tanks, filters, cabinets, heaters, lights, plants, food, medicine. They also have some lizards and frogs, but seriously, this is a fish destination plus. There's plenty of parking right outside the shop - halfway down the end of a strip of industrial buildings, with a plentiful amount of spaces.

Either way, I have always enjoyed walking through pet shops and checking out all of the animals. Paws for Pets at Marden is small, but an enjoyable visit none the less. There really isn't anything super special about this pet store, other than it stocks most things you would need for your more common pets. They have a good range of pet 'accomodation' and some scratching posts for the kitties. I have tried them with my cats from time to time over the years, but I think they are snobs because they seem to prefer micro fibre suede or leather between their claws rather than tightly wound rope......bloody stuck up cats!
We used to come here to visit the white axolotl in the bottom right aquarium. We would sit on the…read morefloor and do interpretations of what this axolotl would say and sound like if we were to have a conversation with him. I decided he was a rapper, and described his 99 problems. My daughter took a different approach and discussed tea parties with him as if he was Princess Kate. It was a sad day when 'Kid Cudi' was purchased. I hope his owners are taking good care of him. This pet store always has cute puppies or kittens to fawn over when I'm grabbing some cat food, and they have a loyalty card program so my tenth bag of cat nosh is free. The man who runs it is friendly and helpful and always has good advice when you have a random help my pet question. We miss you still, Cudi. Good luck in all that you do.
Brooke took care of our two dogs, George and Barney and cat, Chester for a week in October while we…read morewent interstate. We have put our pets in boarding kennels previously, but with the number of pets and a cat which hates leaving home we were looking for a home service. We were worried about who would look after them, but upon meeting Brooke our worries were put to rest immediately. She was a natural with the pets, even the usually shy cat came to greet her. The pets were fed, walked, and played with. She even watered the plants, took in the mail, put out the bins, and topped up the bird water, even though we didn't request it. Dog dos were picked up also, and the dogs were washed on the last day, so we came home to clean dogs. Brooke also sent us regular texts and the odd photo, which was greatly appreciated, as we missed them while away. We came home to two happy dogs who didn't seem as though they had fretted at all. We used the one visit pr day service as our pets stayed outside, but inside pets or anxious pets would need the twice daily service. Brookes prices were also reasonable when you consider the cost of boarding three animals, with the added advantage of having someone pop in to keep an eye on the house and plants also. She really gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our holiday knowing that our pets, plants and home were taken care of. If you are considering going away or are going to be away for any period I would highly recommend giving Brooke a call. You won't need to go any further. If you have pets who are happier at home, like our cat, which would fret if put in pens surrounded by barking dogs, Happy Pet Helpers would be the answer. We are glad that this service is available and will book Happy Pet Helpers again! Thanks so much Brooke! Helena

I go to all the cool shops now. Places where locals love and want to share the love! And this brings me to P&K pets. This store is surprisingly big! From the street it looks like a pokey little store, but head on into it and it just keeps going! My only disappointment was that it doesn't really have a carpark (unless I missed it anywhere?), so I had to park in the pub carpark. But not too far of a walk to the store and not that this would deter me from going back. This store has such a huge selection of products for all different types of animals. Also, the animals that they sell look very happy and healthy.There are lizards, fish, bunnies, turtles, etc... I even saw two pet Kookaburras. Wow! As for dog food and toys, a brilliant selection with great brands to choose from. Well priced and they offer a 5% off when you join up as a member of the store. I signed up in a flash! Every dollar counts. They also pointed out that the discount only applies to full priced items. Fair enough. The staff are so super friendly and so happy to help! They even offered to help me carry my massive bag of dog food to the car. How sweet! They helped me find what I needed and offered me some great advice for my pets. Totally love this store and so happy to have found my new destination for pet gear near my new home!

I'm warning you right now - if you think that fish are easy to look after, you couldn't be more wrong. They require a lot more care than dogs or cats, will die on you at any sudden moment, and don't give you any love in return. Despite all this, the staff at P & K really know their stuff. They gave me all of the materials and equipment required to properly look after the fish and information on which fish live well together. I usually hate going in to pet stores and seeing a whole lot of puppies and kittens locked away in plastic boxes. Fortunately P & K Pets is an ethical pet shop, and they no longer sell kittens or puppies in the shop. Furthermore, they refuse to keep any pets in the store if the temperature is above 33 degrees celcius. It's comforting to know that these guys really care about the welfare of these animals, and if I am ever to buy another pet in the future, I'll know where I can get pets that are genuinely well looked after.

I always venture into pet stores to sneak a peak at the adorable puppies and cute kittens that they have in stock, wishing that I could take them all home. What I was not expecting when I walked into the Northisde Pet Superstore in Hillcrest, was a variety of snakes and lizzards to impress me. Which it did. There were some amazing creatures in that store. A cute little baby childrens python even tried to attack me, and smacked its face on the glass - highly entertaining. A pet store with a different sort of livestock than your average domestic pets is definitely something worth 4 stars, especially when I got the impression that the staff were more than happy to talk to you about any questions you had.
I'd always duck into Northside Pet Superstore when I was going past, after picking up some quite…read morerare fish for an absolute steal - browsing through all the standard guppies, tetras, platys and goldfish - nothing really unusual there, but it is a pet store, not a specialised aquarium shop - I found a tank full of algae eaters - again nothing unusual (and word of warning, they're only algae eaters when they're young, and hungry - as they get bigger, and find they can eat the food your other fish are getting, they get lazy - and they'll also latch on to slow moving fish, and use them as food too - not nice fish sometimes) except for five fish that definitely weren't your everyday algae eater - tall fins, and a much more elongated shape. I asked a staff member what they were, she told me algae eaters - I took a chance on them, as they looked really interesting, and I knew I could find homes for them even if they weren't compatible with my fish, and took two of the 'algae eaters' home. Turned out they were a variety of Hemoloptera - lovely fish that don't grow too big, and sell for about ten times the price of an algae eater - and when I went back for the other three the next day they even gave me a discount on them... *bonus* :) That aside, I see a good stock of the regular fish. There's often a special on something, tetras, goldies or guppies, which probably reflects a discount they've gotten from the suppliers, but it never hurts to get a good bargain. Overall the store looks good - I don't pay a lot of attention to the rest of the livestock, unless the kids are with me, but they have a good range of animals and products.

Well apparently since we had a dog already we were required to go home and get our existing dog and bring it up to the RSPCA to be put inside a larger enclosure with us AND the new puppy we wanted. If all was ok THEN we could buy the dog. Well all went well and we walked out with a new puppy :-) Considering you get a desexed and vaccinated animal, and in fact mine was even microchipped (which also saves money on dog registration each year with my council) it is really cheap as there is a set price for a dog, cat and rabbit. So it doesn't matter which one you choose or what breed it is, which is great. They have an excellent website where you can view pets they have available at the shelter. They also have boarding kennels and a cattery if you have to go away. I even noticed a horse in one of the area's this time I went.
