    Live in the Buikslotermeerplein area? Have pets? Want pets?!?!?! Then check out this place!…read more I often go in just to look around and I kind of like the way pet shops smell.... just, I just confessed this on Yelp. No, seriously... they have bunnies, guinea pigs, rats, mice, hamsters etc. so they have lots of hay and dried grass in their enclosures. They also sell the stuff so it smells awesome! And who doesn't like the smell of fresh dried grass?!?! Come on! That's also another reason I often walk in, to check out the cute animals (but you can't pet them because of the glass enclosures. They also have a bunch of fish and other aquarium creatures but they're boring 'cause you can't hug them. This pet shop, like most (but not all, believe it or not), carries the veterinarian approved cat and dog food brands such as Royal Canin and Hill's Science. Okay, here's the thing! If you buy cheap supermarket pet food, you're a horrible human being!! Stop buying that crap for your innocent pet! The cheapest pet food is PURE starch and ash and NO animal proteins, whatsoever. A level above the cheapest crap MAY contain corn proteins! CORN?! F*cking CORN?!?! Last time I checked, cats and dogs are carnivorous! Meaning: They NEED meat! Their bodies NEED meat! So this is what happens when you give them crap: Malnutrition! They get weaker, unhappier, lazy, lack of energy, their feces smells worse than it should, they shed more etc. etc. etc. And they get FAT! Why? Because they don't feel saturated so they keep eating and eating. BUT, get them quality food and they will be happier and healthier and they will eat less of it because they'll feel saturated! In fact, it will even cost you LESS to buy premium food because of the vet bills that won't stack up because you're now actually keeping them healthy. Not to mention that if you buy 10, 15 or 20 KG packs at a time, you are actually paying WAY less per KG and also less or about the same as the supermarket crap you would otherwise buy weekly. Get your act together and provide the best of what is available for your beloved pet! Alright, that had to be said :) Anyway, they also have lots of toys, beds, posts, leashes, medicine, shampoo etc. Just check it out.

    If I want to buy something special for my puppy or some other furry friend I come here…read more Yes it is a pity that the owner sometimes has some attitude but I also laughed a lot with him and he shared a lot of knowledge with me. He is very helpful and I never feel that he wants to sell you more then necessary - I just got a puppy and I was really "what else could I buy, please tell me...?!" and he was like "trust me, you have everything, you don't need more" - and trust me, i would have bought everything he would have offered me. I take his attitude with a smile, behind that there is a very nice man that has a great shop with great stuff (also amazing for presents !) Love for pets and a lot of knowledge that he is always willing to share. I like it!

    I have been here twice, once a few years ago to check out the house cat, and once today to get my…read morevery first fish tank! I didn't check the reviews earlier else I would have avoided the place. Glad I bought my first fishes from here! The owner was kind and friendly, and even threw in a fish scoop (net?) for free as he was out of new ones. He calmly suggested all the supplies I'd need for my first little aquarium. Yes, they're cash only for some reason, but luckily there's an ING cash machine just a minute away. I got to talk a lot with the owner and turns out that he's been running it for 25 years! That's a big inning in a competitive marketplace like Amsterdam. I have no idea if it's generally an expensive shop, but I ended up getting a lot of stuff for quite cheap. All in all, a wonderful experience. The house cat needs to go on a diet but loves attention. The only suggestion I have is for them to get with the times and start accepting debit cards.
