Pets Wonderland have a HUGE range of animal care products everything you need for your pet whether it be dogs, cats, fish, turtles or snakes! The staff are very knowledgeable as well as passionate and will help you choose the right product for you specific species of choice. They actually have a separate Aquarium section at the back of the store, specialising in all things that live under the sea. I highly recommend Pets Wonderland for any type of animal care as well as basic pet purchase.

I've never liked a pet shop that doesn't show off some animals as I mean really that's a perfect way to attract attention and get some customers. The pets don't even realise how much free advertising they provide for the place. In saying that this pet shop knows their pets and the staff there are flawless when it comes to the sometimes-tricky questions they are faced with. It's really set up fantastically and even though I haven't owned fish since my childhood, I get compelled to have a walk through their little aquarium and constantly get amazed looking at all the different types of fishes they have swimming around. It is important for the store to have a lot of supplies and they do for all types of strange pets like lizards and ferrets but when I had a cat (poor thing got run over) and went there he would be spoiled like a child at Christmas. You can't help but buy the interesting and suitable products for your pet and I know some big pet lovers who would definitely empty their wallets there. Even now, without a pet, I find myself drawn to this pet shop and I get that inkling every time that maybe I should just come home with a puppy and believe me it takes a lot of restraint, especially after the open the cage up, to not run out the door. I do really love the Pets Wonderland Aquarium and feel like it has a very suitable title, as it truly is a wonderful wonderland for the pet and their loving owner.

The shop has all manner of dietary requirements covered, with both information on the signs and symptoms, ways to get tested, as well as all your foods and grooming needs. For those finding themselves lacking and in dire need of animal love.

It's personable; approachable; human. We'd been using a competing vet on Lygon Street and found them to be less so, and constantly pushing expensive insurance plans whilst giving hypochondriacal diagnoses. So we changed vets and gave Fitzroy Veterinary Clinic a chance. First impressions? It's busy. Busy and efficient. The crowd dispersed after a few minutes but it gave us a chance to see what it's like here when they're under pressure, and it was a relaxed environment. There's a dog side and a cat side to this place, and decorated accordingly. Our own little fur-ball doesn't travel well and gets a bit nervous in new places, but this was as good as we could hope for, given our in-and-out 'check up' we were there for. We were kept waiting for half an hour beyond our allotted time, but I suspect we arrived at the tail-end of a particularly busy period. Before long, we'd completed the forms and were ushered in to see a very friendly, plain-speaking vet who never once attempted to sign us up to an insurance plan, or push anything other than an honest verdict on how little Samson was doing. And he's doing just fine. We left really satisfied with the experience and confident we made the right change.

After much research and a recommendation from our vet's website, we decided to go with Sophisticat. We called them to arrange an inspection and they were happy to show us around their clean, large and well cared for facilities. This really put us at ease as we were going overseas for the holidays. We've since gone back to them one other time and have never had a complaint. They require your feline to be up to date on vaccinations and have a go-to vet should anything happen. They have most foods on offer, but if yours require something exotically special, they do ask to bring a supply in which is fair enough. We even called once to make sure Bella was settled in ok and they were happy to give us a progress report (sad, I know) and she didn't show any signs of stress when we retrieved her. I would go back to them without any hesitation and recommend them to anyone needing a cattery.
