Poor thing had to be put down within a week of her having him. I avoid any pet shop that sells pets other than fish and birds.

You can even buy your pets from there! Sometimes when you're having a bad day for whatever reason that may be, seeing a playful dog or a cute kitten is all you need to cheer yourself up again. Well I know it works for me! Whenever you walk past Pets Paradise you are guaranteed to see beautiful pets jumping around and putting on a show for the customers (unless you get them when they're asleep, but they're still adorable to watch). I have to admit it's pretty hard to resist a homeless animal when you walk by. One of these days I will walk by and cave in to temptation and buy a puppy. Or a bunny rabbit!

Staff are friendly, the range and the prices are good. I also have chickens, though they're egg producers, not pets - they're great for an emergency supply of seed for the chooks, too!

This isn't my regular pet store. My regular pet store is a good several hours drive away, but…read morethat's another long and boring story. So with that said (although it's not really relevant), I popped in here to pick up some stuff for my cats, dog and turtle. I was quite happy with the service I was provided, with the staff that I spoke to sounding fairly competent in knowing their products. It is worth getting a membership here, because it makes it all a little cheaper. If you're here and you need pet stuff, I can't really fault this store. The prices are alright, the staff are good, and what more can you ask?

But you still have to look at what they have anyway. They do get some good animals for sale in this store and usually have dogs, kittens, guinea pigs and rabbits. Plus they almost always have mice and definitely always have fish, lots of fish! My pet hate (excuse the pun) would have to be pet shops that don't actually have any pets other than birds and fish. I mean how boring! The staff here are always quite friendly. I don't like to ask for them to get an animal out of it's cage just so I can have a cuddle. I think it would be scary enough for the animals just to be in such a busy area let alone getting picked up and touched all the time. But the staff are more than happy to help. Once a guy working there offered to get a kitten out for my son to hold just for something to do. I guess it attracts more people inside the store when any of the cages are open though. They do have a good range of accessories and treats here as well.

This place also stocks animal costumes, collars and leads, pre-made mince, dry food, and pet food friendly desserts by the kilo. Other natural products such as pet shampoos and medicinal products are also available. The Pet Deli also supports local animal shelters which is also a good thing.

Or even for an animals owner it's kind of cool…read more They have everything you could need for an animal of any kind, especially heaps of dog stuff. A lot of their stuff is fresh food and they have heaps of cool and different treats. They are a little expensive compared to maybe making your own food but seriously, who has the time nowadays. When these people do it all for you. They also sell all the best brands of flea and worming treatments. The ones you usually have to buy from the vet or maybe a fodder shop. You can get them all here too. We have a dog with some skin allergies and I can get much better shampoo's for her from here than from a supermarket. They also give great advice on such things. They are starting an online facility for ordering soon as well so keep an eye on the website or their facebook page for an annoucement. Great specialty store!

I'm sure at the end of the day having to move everything back inside they have to quickly lean against the door with their backs hard against it and lock it before it explodes out! The pet shop is very well stocked with supplies for all creatures great and small, from dogs to mice, their pet bearded dragon is certainly not shrinking, he's huge. They do sell puppies, which I personally don't agree on any pet shop doing as breeder direct is better, but anyway. The owner and staff are friendly enough and certainly know their products and what can help with a minor ailment, otherwise it's a trip to the vet down the road. Besides dogs, they also have fish for sale. They also run an engraving service to personalise your pets name tag.

This is a lovely family-run pet store - bonus points for the pink free range chicken…read more Absolutely loaded with pet accessories, this little store is *the* place to visit for pet treats: from dried meat to bones to chews, leads and toys, they've pretty much got anything and everything for that spoiled mutt or cranky cat. I come in here to get my mum's ridiculously minuscule dog a treat or two, and she loves them. They also have a massive range of fish for sale, which my niece makes a beeline for every time we visit, as well as puppies and kittens every now and then. They're friendly and welcoming, and you WILL need to keep your eyes peeled for the pastel pink fluffy chicken that pecks around like it owns the place. Which it might.... And there's usually a huge parrot and a few birds on stands around the store too, which aren't for sale but just do their thing.

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.

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.
