P&K Pets
(7 reviews)
I like many other Yelper's out there love all things animals. I have two dogs and a cat, so I am…read morealways looking for cool pet stores where I can buy treats and toys for my beautiful furbabies. Also, I have just moved houses, so I was on the search to find a new destination for my supplies. One thing that I really love about Yelp is that it point's me in the right direction constantly. 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!
P & K Pets is one of the largest pet stores I've seen, and it's collection of fish and furry…read morecritters is beyond impressive. I went to this a while ago to buy my girlfriend some fish. 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.
Paws for Pets

Animals have always had a bit of a thing for me, I think they recogise Awesomeness and want to be…read morearound it.....either that or it is my penchant for not wearing deoderant?! 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.

As a diligent Yelper, dedicated to accurately portraying all places that I visit for the greater…read moregood (In Scott we Trust), I must say that I struggled with this one. A shop that specialises in preservative free dog food.....did I or didn't I try the dog food on a mini piece of toast with a sprig of parsley for garnish? I did not try the dog food, but I have it on the authority of small pooch (who thoroughly enjoys licking his genitals) that it goes alright! So if you are concerned about your dog getting the raw end from the 'corporate machine' or the 'mans best friend mafia', get on to this place. The store also stocks doggie doors, squeeze toys and many other K9 related accessories that will make Rex look and feel dead sexy. Oh, by the way, I will get back to you on the 'Fart Factor' of the preservative free food....might be a deal breaker!
My pup seems to like most of the food I've bought from here, and she's a fussy little bitch with…read morefood. I seriously don't understand it. I buy her the best dog food I can find - sometimes I think she is provided with food better than what I buy myself. And yet she just looks at it, sniffs, and walks off. Then ten minutes later, she's chewing on the 'delicious' treats she's found when she has raided the kitty litter tray. I mean, WTF? But the food I've bought here she'll actually eat. She hasn't farted too much worse than she did before. I think time will tell about how good the food really is. Most of my pet experience is with cats, and you can really tell when they're eating good stuff, but it takes awhile to show a visible effect. I'm hoping that it's the same with dogs, and that she'll have a really nice clear coat after eating this stuff for awhile. I'll report back in a couple of months.

Okay so revealing myself as the crazy dog lady since we got our second dog I can safely say this is…read moreone of the largest and best stocked pet general stores in Adelaide. Having an Italian greyhound means ALOT of money goes in to weird niche dog things the breed needs, one of which is a special tooth gel. Long story short I saved myself a good thirty dollars because this store is the only one in Adelaide that randomly carries it so five stars for getting in super niche things essential to particular breeds. But what REALLY impressed me was the knowledge the staff had, they let us know about the puppy school they host which was under $100 for five classes (something most other dog stores don't do), gave me loads of tips about introducing my two dogs, tips about the breed and best yet they didn't pressure me to buy any dumb little add-ons at the counter (because like all pet owners we spend our rent money on stacks of dog toys as it is). Thanks to the team there it will be our local! Bring your dog in too they give out free cuddles

How about one with feathers that you have taught swear words to? Even if it is a scaley one that likes to eat live rodents (don't we all), you will find all that you need to keep them healthy and entertained at Petstock on Main North Road. I am an animal person, in fact many have referred to me as an animal myself (Like a TIGER, rrrrooooowl!). As I write this yelp one of my Cats (Samurai) is actually dribbling on my leg, an yet I don't throw him across the room yelling 'fly supercat', that is just how much of an animal guy I am! I often drop in to Petstock on the way home to pick up some stupidly expensive (but scientifically formulated) cat food and also to tap on the many fish tanks! It is a huge store, encompassing everything from food, toys, living quarters (doghouses) and many things that you look at and think "who the hell would buy that for their pet....it would look great on me!" The employees are all very knowledgeable and pet lovers themselves, so they are quite able to help make decisions on what is best for your little fido, nemo or Rum Tum Tugga. Little prick just bit my foot.

No he hates it because EVERY time we are in the Mall together, I drag him down those well trodden stairs to go down and look at the puppies/kittens/whatever animals they have in there at the time. I daresay I am not alone in this mission and I think it would definitely be a popular spot for other Rundle shoppers to de-stress for a little and make baby voices at tiny animals. To be fair, as I don't have a pet (can't have one in a rental property) I have never actually bought anything from there although I have been tempted many times by the sweet little faces that look out at you from behind the glass. I am also kind of against pet stores because I believe there are plenty of animals at the RSPCA who have had hard lives and need some love. And you don't need to pay around $800 for them.... But in terms of animal perving, this is my number one stop, and there are always new puppies waiting to be squealed at joyfully!

But alas, I have since bought many other pet accessories from this store. The people who work here a very knowledgable and helpful. They gave me some good advice on how to calm an insane cat I once owned. One annoying thing about the store is there alarm on the door that goes off when you enter or exit. It's a screaming high pitch screech. Terrible sound really. I can imagine it would make the animals go insane.
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.
The Northside Pets Superstore is a great place to grab a whole lot of different items needed for…read moreyour pets, with highly trained staff included vet nurses and breeders of different species. 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.

They even have a dog washing station that we have used one Saturday. It was a bit traumatic for our little dogs though, so may be better for a medium to large dog.
