The staff here are incredibly knowledgeable and so very passionate about pets. They are pet owners themselves which makes it really easy to explain what you need and know they will understand and be able to help. I learned a lot about rabbits today as well from one of the staff. She shared a lot of information about local breeders and where to look if I'm ready for my second bun. The best thing is that they have the pets in stores but unlike the big brands pet stores, they really really take care of the pets. They even separate the ones they know aren't as social so everyone is happy. I like that they pay so much attention that they know what tempers some of the animals have.

Not very friendly, the employee not only didn't greet us as we walked in(he was sitting on a chair in the front of the store and said nothing the entire time), when he did get up he actually shouldered me moving past, even though there was a completely free isle he could have gone down to avoid making unwanted contact.

i rarely write reviews (mostly because i've never seen this level of mistreatment of animals…read morebefore), but what we seen in the betta fish section at this location was very concerning from a welfare standpoint. i'm not the fish police or some morally superior karen but when it comes to animals that are fully dependent, i genuinely could not care less lol. while the staff were polite, the overall condition of the fish was clearly giving widespread stress and neglect. almost all of the fish displayed classic indicators of physiological distress like clamped fins, spinal curvature, lethargy, resting at the bottom of the tank (which doesn't always mean a bad thing but it does when several of them are doing that), faded pigmentation, and visible abdominal bloating :( several fish also showed signs of early stage fin rot. when we asked an employee about the condition of the fish we also obviously asked to not have to pay full price because you're funny if you think i'd pay for a fish that is very clearly ill and most of them were being abused, we were told that the water in the cups is changed daily, fed daily, etc which is just purely a lie lol. multiple cups contained LOADS of debris and visible algal growth and some of the bottoms of the cups were purely green from algae. from a basic biological standpoint, visible algal films dont develop overnight, they require accumulated nutrient availability (fish waste lol) and prolonged light exposure and it develops over multiple days, not within a 24-hour window. when we took the fish home, we did an ammonia test on the water and the result measured approximately 1.0 ppm ammonia, which is considered toxic for fish. for reference, safe ammonia levels in aquatic systems should be 0 ppm, as even low concentrations can cause gill irritation, physiological stress, lethargy, and immune suppression. for simpler terms, just blatantly being loud and wrong about how they take care of dependent animals. also when we asked about one particularly lethargic fish exhibiting little to no movement and stress, we were told this behavior was "normal" and that all the bettas in the store were behaving this way. while reduced activity can jappen in confined environments, widespread fin clamping, persistent bottom-resting, faded coloration, and general lethargy across most of them isnt indicative of healthy fish, it IS consistent with chronic environmental stress and inadequate conditions. pretty alarming, as it acknowledged that the majority of the fish were in a compromised state. another explanation provided was that children sometimes feed the fish improperly. of course with kids accidents happen occasionally, but repeated overfeeding leading to bloating and degraded water quality is just proof they're not taking preventative measures. if this is a known issue, some sort of signage should be implemented to protect the animals. and to be clear i understand that retail pet things are designed for temporary holding rather than long-term care but theres a significant difference between temporary housing and widespread observable stress physiology. the combination of lethargy, fin clamping, faded coloration, abdominal swelling, debris accumulation, and visible algae growth just is proof the employee was just trying to protect his ego and be correct rather than acknowledge the downright abuse these animals are facing at their hands. sadly a lot of betta fish are put in these small cups but that doesn't mean it should be brushed off as a "whatever thing". plz put ur ego aside and do better :(

I highly recommend Rens in Whitby. They are terrific. Definitely a 5 star store.
