A trip to Glen Eden's Pet Shop Boyz generally includes the children as they can't resist taking a look at the pets that are for sale, kittens, puppies, guinea pigs, mice, fish, etc. And that's a "no" again to the child who wants to increase our family by another one member. Meanwhile I stock up with the required pet necessities and accessories like food, toys, collars, beds or flea treatment options.

Meryl knows absolutely everything there is to know about bunnies, and they have so many different types available. Mini lops, dwarfs, flemish giants, mixes, adult bunnies. They sell hutches, equipment, food, hay, the works. Their bunnies are beautiful and well taken care of, they are living the life of luxury out on the hills in the Waitakeres. Meryl will give you all the advice you need, and she won't let those bunnies go until they are old enough, big enough and healthy enough. They are open all the time so you just need to flick them an email or give them a call and make a time to visit the property. They list their bunnies on Trademe and there's heaps! I'm picking up my bunny in a week and I can't wait.

From the owner: We breed pet rabbits - mini lops, dwarves, Flemish Giants, etc., and sell to the public from our…read morerabbitry, which is based at our home. We have been doing this for 15 years. We sell hutches, both outdoor (new and second-hand) and indoor, and runs. We sell pellets, hay, bottles, bowls, brushes, trimmers, harnesses, litter trays, recycled paper litter, lounging logs, hay mangers, carry cages, colloidal silver, dose, toys etc. When you buy a rabbit from us, we groom it, trim its claws, give you a birth certificate for the rabbit and a care sheet and pricelist. We are happy to answer questions, both when you are buying the rabbit and afterwards. We trim claws (and teeth if needed), groom rabbits, dose rabbits, sex rabbits and do rabbit health checks. We courier pellets, hay, litter and accessories. We board rabbits, and sometimes re-home them.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, all my visits to pet shops are normally only to look at the…read morepuppies, fish and kittens, so my recent visit to Animates was slightly different. Needing to buy dog food for a spaniel that I'm pup sitting, I stopped over at Animates in Westgate, to get the food and stuff I would need for his visit. Golly, gosh, darn... Expensive is not the word; the word is more likely to be four letters long and starting with a loud capital F. Okay, so I'm not used to buying dog food and related products, and I'm only just recovering from the shock of buying baby food, so it was a surprise how expensive dog food had become. So the cost of items is possibly not directly related to the store. I found the service good, and dealt with Sammy, she was informative, and gave me good advice. Overall this is a good store, and their live animal range is quite good plus the food range is massive. I think this visit cured me from getting a puppy just yet, but did find the kittens to be absolutely adorable.

I've never bought a pet from here but it's a really nice pet shop. It's laid out well with lots of…read morespace and specified sections for different kinds of pets. The dogs get large pens and they are always clean and look well taken care of. The pets themselves don't seem very young, so if you're looking for a new baby puppy or bunny, I'd look elsewhere. Good thing about them is they sell puppies and kittens on behalf of the SPCA. Their staff seem like animal lovers who know a little bit about pets, but not people who know a lot. I've been bunny hunting this weekend and was disappointed they only had two bunnies, and they were pretty big.

The store at Animates St Lukes is great and well stocked, however this review is regarding the…read moregrooming service. My dog was injured there. When we got him home from his groom - his paw was dripping blood. Despite calling the store and sending them an email they have not followed up on this. Incidentally this groom at St Lukes was the quickest and most expensive we have paid for. Past experience with other grooming service at animates was good, but from our experience I would suggest avoiding the St Lukes one.

As far as Animates go, their stores are usually large, open with heaps of space, with heaps of pets…read moreand people looking around. This particular animates always seems quiet, and they don't seem to have a lot of pets in store. They have always got a lot of stock, from pet bedding to toys, food, grooming equipment and all that stuff, but their pet selection isn't great. I called them and asked if they had any bunny rabbits in store, they said yes quite a few, and I came in and they had two who were old and not cute little babies, which is what I was after.

It doesn't get much better that this in regard to the needs of your high maintenance pets. Not…read moresaying that my dog fits that category, for now lets just pretend he's a little spoiled. Following the recommendation of another dachshund owner I came here to first see what they offered, more importantly their price range. Titus and I walked in to a teeny little space filled with ice cream freezers in all corners. Each freezer is filled with either bone, or ground meats such as lamb, turkey, duck and tripe. Have a cat that enjoys fish? Look no further than the ice cream freezer filled with whole mackerel and salmon. Yum! I had salmon for dinner last night too. Do not hesitate to ask questions about their food. Koodo's to Alicia for being fully equipped with knowledge on mixing foods, keeping away from bad treats and the overall health of your dog while following a raw diet. In need of a vet? Well guess what, they have one on site every other day who is fully capable of addressing all the basic needs for your pet i.e. vaccinations, treatments and the like. I spent $35.00 and walked away with what appears to be a months supply of food! Fairly certain we have found our local pet food store.
