Covid restrictions Fall 2022

Make sure to bring a mask or know what you want ahead of time. Due to the safety of the workers plan to know what you want. The store overall is moving to the expand their fish selection. Overall very pleased with the interaction and their fish stock.

Angelfish by Animal House

I'm watching my new Cory's happily eating, and watching my plump Angel fish begging in another tank with her new plant, all from Animal House. All I can speak to is fresh water fish, and they have the best. They breed their own Angel's, quarantine new fish, and have all the Seachem products and healthy plants. I'll go to another fish store and end up with a sick fish, so...The same couple has owned this store for over 20 years, they and their son are always happy to educate me on fish, and to make sure I have what I want. This is the best fish store out of any in Lexington and Louisville, and if they treat their exotics like their fish (I'm betting they do) this is the best pet store out of them all.

rare white guppy and beautiful fancy guppy

Horrible customer service, awful smell. These trump the fact they have a decent selection of fish for the area. Won't return

I walked in and almost immediately walked out, it smelled terrible! Little variety, dirty animal cages, not a good place to buy a pet.

We have always shopped for pet supplies from grocery stores and big box stores until the pandemic…read moreand suddenly we couldn't find the wet cat food our cats love. Pets Supplies Plus is a closer location but we always assumed it was more expensive than the big box stores so we never tried them. When faced with the pandemic's limited options, we tried Pets Supplies Plus and to our surprise they were the same price as the grocery and big box stores and their selection was much better. Occasionally they faced some shortages too but we seemed to always be able to find the wet food that our cats would eat. In the last year we have added a hamster and a cockatiel to our pet family. For these small animals, big box stores are limited to what they actually carry in the store. At Pet Supplies Plus, we were able to find bird feed, toys, cage attachments, etc. The hamster bedding can be purchased in bulk there and they have several selections of small animal food products, as well as vitamins, cage necessities and toys. Their prices have gone up in the last few months but we checked the grocery and big box stores again too and theirs went up as well. The selection at Pets Supplies Plus is still much better than the big box stores and we like that it is a shorter drive for us. You can also order online if you don't have a store near you. They also offer grooming and pet clinics if you have a dog. We've never used those services so we can't rate them but will say there are always pets in there getting trimmed up.

And she even was like yea I remember him from last time but I had another person to help that was stronger so idk if I can do it now so not like she just didn't know what kind of dog he was or that he was very strong.. there are notes on him and everything. absolutely ridiculous that I wasted an hour/ my day for that. Will never be bringing him again cause now idk who will be there and can't risk the drive.

I can't say enough praises about Pet Wants!!! I was always such a procrastinator with buying my…read moredogs food and would always be in a panic where I saw he was getting low!!! I tried ordering his food through chewy.com and just didn't love my experience. I stumbled into Pet Wants through recommendations from friends and am so glad I did!!! Everyone is so nice there and helped me figure out the best food for my dog. He also loves the 'pawpsicles' that I bought when I was in the store! I love coming home to a month's supply of dog food at the front door. I am so glad I signed up for the monthly bulk orders of dog food. They send out a reminder text several days before your order is processed and delivered. This has helped so much!! The first few months, I still had a lot of food left, so I changed it up to every 5 weeks for a delivery. I also like the text reminders in case I was out of town and didn't want the food delivered. Oh, and did I mention the delivery service is free?! Even better! Supporting a local Lexington company AND free delivery right to your front door! If you're a local Lexingtonian and have a pet, definitely consider Pet Wants for your home delivery needs!

They offer a free sample of their dry food for your pet and they also will deliver the food straight to your house or office. Whether grain or grain free is your jam, they offer the freshest holistic made products for your fur kids. Pricing can be a little more than Petsmart or a chain store but it's worth it to me to keep it local.
