For all you crazy ass animal yelpers you know that you'll like this place…read more You like looking through the glass aquariums at the fish, the hermit crabs, sometimes even the snakes. You like trying to stick your hand in to pat the puppies or kittens or anything furry really. The little child in you is dancing inside the second you walk inside this pretty big store and you know you'll be able to touch something! See something and maybe even buy something if you can afford it. I have my doubts about the puppies here, rumours on the grapevine tell me they sell a vast range of pups because they do get some from puppy farms... but it could be a rumour. With no truth in it. Having said that, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful so if you did get anything here or need any medicated shampoo like me, they are more than willing to point you to the right direction and even show you how the item works. It's a great place for kids to have fun too, and the dog food isn't too expensive.

I'm embarrassed to admit it but I use to come to Pet City a lot to look at - their fish collection…read more You wouldn't believe the size of their collection. There are African cichlids, American cichlids, garoumis, neons, guppies, clown fishes like Nemo, bright coloured salt water fish that you find in the Barrier Reef - draw breath - even their goldfishes were crazy exotic varieties with celestial eyes, lionheads and bubbly chins. This is the place to go if you're an avid fish collector. Their range is huge given that they are not an exclusive aquarium. Their staff know their stuff too should your $200 discus threaten to float belly up. In my case, usually it was because I wasn't washing the tank out enough but there are all sorts of fish fungal afflictions and water pH issues which the devoted fish collector need to know about. They have a pretty impressive aviary and reptile house as well. My nephew picked up his first pet here; an unusual pair of hermit crabs named Michael and Priscilla. He's from a science-y family so I have no doubt he'll be picking up some stick insects, centipedes and rhinoceros beetles for his collection soon enough. Pet City is not your standard pet store. Even if you're not after a pet or pet supplies, it's an entertaining place to take the kids.

Not a pet store, but a pet supply store. I like it!…read more It's big, clean and bright, staff are friendly, and chances are you'll find most anything you could ever want or need for most types of pets. This is sort of a new store. There was a similar shop here for many years, but new owners and a new look. They have a membership program for discounts and special deals, and you get some discount cards on signing up. I don't know, there's not a lot you can say about a place that sells your pet foods and supplies, but it beats going to a generic pet store, these guys have far more range. You can buy bettas (siamese fighting fish) here too, although there are other places I'd go for that in Brisbane.

Pet Stock at Clayfield is a fantastic pet supply store. I came here straight after adopting my cat…read morefrom the shelter that same day, to purchase all the essentials for her. We brought her into the store with us, and the staff were very friendly - giving her a cuddle and looking after her while we shopped around. We needed everything from cat food to flea treatments to scratchers and toys. A shop assistant walked around with us the entire time as we ticked everything off our list. She was very helpful and knowledgeable, making numerous suggestions for each item. We purchased a whole trolley full of products, as well as a large scratching tower, which the shop assistant helped us to carry to the car. I was very impressed that we were able to purchase everything we needed so quickly and effortlessly. I will definitely come here again!

Weird. In truth, what I think they're trying to convey is that they have a comprehensive range of pets, animal accessories and pet food as well as the know how to match. Having checked out their store and bought a couple of tetras as a gift for a friend's aquarium I'd have to agree. And before I go on to catalogue the impressive animal inventory on offer I'd like to point out that these guys do not support the ethically dubious practice of 'puppy farming' that some other bigger chains do, instead adopting out cats and dogs (not necessarily the cute juvenile ones) from animal welfare groups in an admirable not-for-profit venture. Kudos guys... OK, public service message aside these guys have: birds, fish, cute as a button baby turtles, lizards (blue-tongues, various 'dragons'), snakes and even pet insects. That's right, INSECTS ( I spotted some very interesting and well camouflaged leaf insects for sale)! Their range of healthy pet food has equal 'wow' factor. There are heaps organic meats and bones for your dog, even vegetarian equivalents of old favourite pet snacks like the vege pig's ear. If you're looking for a new animal friend, or a gift for your current one, you can't go wrong with Pets Unleashed.

They sell dog beer at Ashgrove Pet Cafe. It's sitting on the front counter, looks like an elegant…read morebottle of human beer in design but has dogs on the label. (Sorry, it's non-alcoholic.) Then, behind the counter, there's a row of flea tablets lined up like cigarette packets. Glancing at the beer and tablet line-up, I felt like I was in the equivalent of a dream toy shop for dogs where they also sell beer and smokes. This large store sells an insane amount of toys for your pet. There's stuff for cats, birds, fish and other pets, but as I have a dog it was mostly dog-specific products I focused on. The dog selection seemed to take up a large proportion of the store, and there's even a dog (a surprisingly docile Chihuahua) that sleeps on the front counter. (He's six, called Louis, and likes pats but not being held.) Besides a huge selection of toys - so much you can't take it all in in one visit - there's other stuff to pimp out your pet, including a doggy clothing rack if your pet is that way inclined. The Pet Cafe also boasts a wide range of health foods for dogs, particularly those suffering from health issues (e.g. calcium deficiency, obesity - general medical issues that also seem common to humans). The store stocks both Science Diet and Advance food and health products. In terms of The Unhealthy, the front counter showcases an assortment of doggy cookies and chocolates (actually made of carob) that are home-made looking. They weren't as expensive as I thought they'd be, but I'd bought enough stuff here already. The counter staff were also incredibly friendly and chatty, which you'd gather from a business where there is a resident pet.

Katie in particular was just so kind and caring and full of great ways to help Snoopy settle in with us and gave us some samples of food to try him on as he's had been very fussy and nervous about eating. It's helped us a lot as buying a big bag of biscuits and him not eating any of them was a real worry. Look forward to coming back in a few weeks to show him off after we've washed him in his new shampoo and conditioner and we've figured out what he really does like to eat.

Depending on what staff are on, means they may come up and give him a cuddle and a treat! Our dog is never friendly, but he seems to sense when he's getting a treat and is just gorgeous. So if Petbarn staff can make him friendly they must be pretty good. Prices are fine. Nothing great. But it means I can see the product instead of buy online. Easy parking too so you won't have to carry anything far.

Very disappointing to be sold all the wrong stuff when you expect to go to the experts.I spent of $200 on everything and it was a total waste. Poor little hermit crabs were setup for their death. You just have to look into how to care for a hermit crab and then see how they are caring for their hermit crabs to see that Petbarn hasn't got a clue or that choose not to care about the hermit crabs so you will come back to buy more when your one dies.

You can have coffee and cake at the sidewalk cafe here, while your beloved pooch has a similar treat in the adjoining enclosure. In truth, I haven't bought much here; just a couple of collars I think, but I visit regularly for the nearby coin operated dog wash, which suits me very well, as it's open 24 hours a day and for $10 if I move fast I can get both my doggies shampooed, flea rinsed, conditioned and partly dry.

There is always some scaly reptile near the door whenever I go in, and it kind of freaks me out, but is also kind of cool. But once you get past the slithery guys there's a world of pet products to choose from. Dog and cat products are the most abundant with collars, beds, shampoos, flea treatments, chew toys, litter boxes, and every other pet item you could need or imagine. Turn to the left when you walk through the door however, and you'll find yourself in the bird section of the store (from the car park entrance). Here you'll find your choice of cages, seeds, treats, and a selection of cockatiels and budgies to add to your family. I love to visit the puppies and kittens (always) whenever I visit a pet store, but I also like to look in on the birds because I feel like people pay these poor guys much less attention. Pop in here if you're looking for some pet supplies or if you're looking to give a little guy a new home. The staff are very helpful and can answer any questions you may have. They also have a great reward system when you buy science diet cat or dog food that gives you a free purchase once you reach a certain amount. Fur, fun, and rewards all in one place.

You'll find various dog beds, cat scratch towers, collars, leads, toys, animal delicacies (pigs ears and such), and a whole underwater farm of sea grass for fish. The aquarium section of Pet Super Store is pretty stellar. I walked into the room, and as far as they eye could see, there were fish tanks set against dark blue walls. It was easy to imagine being underwater while I was in there, just me, hanging out with my fishy friends. You've got your usual pet enclosures, with the puppies chasing each other's tails, and the kittens fighting and trying to paw and chew each other's faces off. I didn't see birds, however, the Pet Super Store is huge, and so they could have been in some small nook I didn't find. There is always someone nearby to help you out with anything and the service is quite friendly. They're people that just love sharing stories about their pets. "Oh, look what the dog just did" types- just as pet store staff should be.

Only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It's a little less cramped, and they have refurbished. FishChick focused on bettas and guppies, and while you can still get them here, the bettas at least aren't at the same standard. These guys are more into the Australian natives. There's still a great range of fish available, the prices are good, and the staff are more knowledgable than your typical pet store.
