Walked in and left with depression, smell was awful and animals left in terrible living conditions. Door couldn't even open all the wall overall probably the worst pet store I've ever seen. read more

It' smells disgusting and is super hot all the animals look like they are dying (I'm surprised they aren't yet)

Yr staff was very nice but yr store stunk and was extremely hot, not a great environment for customers to look for things to purchase

The smell is horrendous. I could not work in that environment and feel so bad for the people who do. I went in to purchase a feeder rat for my snake. I like to pick out my own rat for her. There was a dead rat in the tank. Instead of removing the rat the associate said something to the effect of "yeah that one is dead". Had that been me? I would have been mortified and immediately removed it before letting the customer pick one out. So I had to move to a different size. I didn't know what those rats had been exposed to and didn't want to expose my snake to potential pathogens/bacteria. read more

This place smelt terrible. The animals seem very sick. The products are extremely dusty. Birds are not being properly taken care of. I accidentally walked behind a counter where no one was supposed to go to and i seen mice and rats in fish tanks stacked on top of each other without food or water. In the dark. Some birds were also in fishtanks. They look very unhealthy and uncomfortable. Iam not sure how this place hasn't been shut down yet. Fish are in dirty tanks and some are dead. Iam generally disgusted by how they are treating these animals. ​​​ read more

Nice people but very dirty. Animal feces on the shelves. The place definitely needs some cleaning and rodent control.

Friendly pet shop employees. Good prices on pretty supplies. Talk to SueEllen when you go in.

I love this place they have always been done right by me and had great informative staff. I have always gotten good prices (sometimes I feel like I'm stealing) and a great product- speaking from the fish keeping end of things read more

Do not shop. Had bug crawling out of the dehydrated cow treats and came out all over our car and house. Maggot like creatures numbering over 24 infested these dog treats! read more

See all

If I could give no stars I would for this pet store. They are always out of product, every time you go in and need something important such as reptile light bulbs, feeders, they never have them. For a pet store it has a bad odor and I've never seen any of the employees clean. If you want to be diss appointed then this is the place for you read more

found spiders and maggots in the loose bird food. smelled like dirty cages, sick birds and mold. wouldn't recommend supporting the cruelty of animals by spending money here. absolutely disgusting. read more

Wow disgusting poor animals! Not only does it smell like urine everywhere in the store, but It is also not clean.

Awesome really friendly staff. all Heathy animals .it so much better then Petco . Love this place would go back

They have no basic knowledge of how to keep animals at all. Their hamsters are confined in harmfully small space with softwood shavings which are toxic to hamsters. Hamsters need to be kept solitary in a big space with hides and a wheel in a deep bedding. Find it incredibly sad and unbelievable the poor critters have to live like this read more

I was very disappointed in the store as soon as I walked in. Not only does it smell like urine everywhere in the store, It is not clean and the employees are not friendly. Why should I give someone my money who doesn't care about the animals in the store nor the customers who come in? Someone is out to just make a buck. Well, I won't be going there anymore. read more

The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable. They have everything I need at great prices. Glad we found this place!

Purchased a ferret a week and a half ago. Was told he was up to date on shots. Several days and $1000 later, we have a very sick ferret who is not, in fact, up to date on his shots. He has mites, parasites, and a GI infection. He was sold to us very sick and we are lucky the vet was able to quickly save him. She was appalled at the condition he was sold to us in. Once he is healthier we have to restart his vaccines since they were not given at the appropriate time. Additionally, this ferret was TWICE as much as any other ferrets in other pet stores. read more

$10.99 on a Betta fish and not even one full day later it's dead. I wasn't asking for a refund. I was simply wanting another betta fish once more came in. I was told over the phone "unfortunately I don't have any guarantees over my animals" really?! It's not even been one full day. I would expect more from a small business that's been in this small town for as long as I can remember. I tried shopping local. read more

Upon walking in to this pet shop, the smell of ammonia overwhelms me. The two parrots are living in filth like I have never seen. PLEASE someone clean these poor birds cages. Their fragile respiratory systems cannot survive this stench. The birds looked awful, in poor feather and dull. The rest of the store was filled with buckets to catch the drips of rain where the ceiling is leaking. This pet shop really needs to close and these birds need to go to a rescue. I am hoping someone is able to help them and they can get some badly needed care. Cannot believe this is even allowed and that no one has helped them. read more

This place is horrific. The smell of stale pet urine hits you right when you walk in. The fish tanks and hamster/ rabbit/ Guinea pig cages are filthy and full of poop. I felt so bad for the animals here. The store also has very low stock of many items. I heard the associate mention that they also board pets and cannot imagine ever leaving our dog there since the hygiene of the pets they're trying to sell is so poor. I can't even imagine what it's like for boating animals. This place has been here for as long as I can remember and I have no idea how they manage to stay open. 10/10 avoid! read more

Knowledgeable staff. Bought 2 very sweet, not-bitey hamsters.

Last Sunday I went to Fancy's Pets. My doxy was having allergy issues. Needed a cone to keep him from chewing his self raw until I could get to the vet the next day. They had a new employee who was extremely knowledgable and personable. Got the supplies I needed and good advice. This visit the store also smelt clean. A little pricey but very convenient. read more

Fancy's is a "home town" Pet Store w/ a variety of everything. The store will work w/ you on whatever your needs are and they have a wide variety of fish as well. There are birds and pet grooming in the back and it's beautiful to support a small business that isn't a chain Pet Store. Remember, everything is local and please support your local businesses. As a small town we feel honored that Fancy's is here to serve us. By the way, Fancy's invested in an over sized extra large & tall Flag Pole and Ole Glory flies high and mighty. They won me over just with their effort on the flag pole alone. read more

every time i go there they never have what i need and i have had to start driving an hour away just to get baby rats for my snakes i hate it there it smells and in all it just sucks get better fancy's. :( read more

Purchased fresh water fish Sunday, dead on Monday. No returns or guarantee. Their fish tanks are old and delopidated, dirty. Will never go back. read more

How is this place still in business??? Smelled like animals had peed all over it. I took my five year old son there so he could look at the animals. He led me to an area behind the rats and the staff With attitude told us it was an employee only area. Ok, so put a sign up or something and then I won't walk past there. There was a weird bird room and I couldn't figure out if we could go in there or not. Loud barking dogs in the back. Just a weird, smelly place. read more

Rude walk waited for them to help us and they just kept talking, so we started browsing two other customers walk in helped them right away. Dont know if is was because we were females. And they were men. But helped them before they helped us. Ignored us the whole time. read more

Great people working here. Always friendly and happy to help us. Love Carol, the groomer. My lil' Titus just loves her.

Nice place. Only pet store this side of the county. They have a nice supply of bulk bird seed. I enjoy playing with the parrots and other birds in the store. I always buy live leal worms for my chickens. The employees are very nice and attentive read more

Fancy's Pets - Great place for basic pet supplies. - Pet Stores Near Me - Crystal River, Florida

honestly don't know how this place is still open. inside and outside looks horrible. barely have any animals and the place smells like strong pee. all the animal enclosures look horrible. prices on these animals are ridiculous. bring cash. they won't accept card half the time. they act like they doing sales under the table to avoid taxes. don't go here. you'll be disappointed read more

Have used 3 groomers in Crystal River. The first one close to Big Lots did a nice clip but my dog was terrified and shaking when I picked her up. The second one off of Fort Island trail gave her kennel cough. The 3rd one is Fancy's. Nice clip, no sickness, fair price, and a happy dog when I picked her up. I've taken my Aussie back several times and have been thrilled to see her nicely groomed and HAPPY each time. I'd give this groomer 10 stars because of gentle grooming. read more

We got stranded on a trip from the Manatee Swim and walked to Fancy's Pets to ask for advice. The owner's response to us asking the best way back to Orlando was "Did you just get a hair up your ass or what?". As we were walking around the store waiting for a phone call he continued to tell customers how shocked he was while pointing at us and laughing about it. read more

fancy's groomer is pretty good...she does a very good job and my dog doesn't mind going to her...would advise people to try her!

I've stopped into Fancy's Pets a few times over the years. I have an American Shorthair cat and every now and then when I'm desperate I stop. The last time was about a month ago. All I can say... it just isn't worth it. First, I find I have to hold my nose. I've been in pet stores that do not smell like this one does! The animals look terrible. I had read other reviews about products being on the shelves that have expired dates. So out of curiosity, I looked for myself. Indeed I did see some! I looked for what it was I needed, luckily getting it within it's usable period, and got out. The employees were not unfriendly. But they also were not friendly. From the reviews I've read, I can gather that the problems of this business establishment lie with the owners. It really is a shame. This could be a great store. And this last visit... it will indeed be my last. It seems unhealthy to even walk in. read more

DONT BUY THE FEEDER RATS!!! Let me say I'm not a new rat owner and I know what I'm doing. For several years now I have always bought feeder rats as pets from several different pet stores even places where I went into back rooms that looked like a horror movie, even with those rats I've never had a problem. I bought 3 rats and brought them home, quarantined them as you should for AT LEAST a week to watch for signs of sickness. Nothing seemed to be wrong at the time so I put them together with my rat that I have had over a year. Now 1 one of the 3 rats died, 1 is sick to the point it can't walk and now my rat that I've had is sick as well. The 3rd rat seems ok for now but who knows. Never have I EVER encountered this and our routines have remained the same. I should have followed my gut and listened to the reviews and stayed far away from this place! Some of the employees I've met their were pleasant and someone I spoke with over the phone before was snarky. All I can think is what could have happened to someone's snake or whatever if they would have eaten one of these sick rats. Buyers BEWARE and trust the reviews. read more

I left a detailed review on facebook please Refer to it. fancys is overpriced and the fish are sick they will kill any other fish you may have.DO NOT PURCHASE LIVE ANIMALS THEY GET THEM FROM ANIMAL MILLS read more

I had a healthy 55 gallon with beautiful fish I decided to buy some more fish. I stop by fancy pet and bought $40 worth of fish. Apparently the fish has some kind of disease affected all my other fishes. All the fish I bought at this location died first. I treated my other fish with medication but lost about 20 fishes I would not recommend fancy pet. The management if you want to call it that did nothing to rectify the situation. read more

Carol is the groomer and she is wonderful with the dogs. Very patient and caring. Customer service at the front desk is horrible though and that is why I can only give one star! Rude, nasty girl accusing customers who were standing in line, waiting to pay, of trying to steal from her! Nobody was trying to steal, just waiting for her to get off the phone with her friend! Been going to Carol for a year but won't go back! read more

Diseased! Bought one fish and added to a very happy 75 gal tank. Within 4 days all dead with ick! 2 electric blue rams, 2 blood parrots and one absolutely beautiful strawberry arowana (a very expensive fish if you are unaware of what that fish) contacted them and. . . Nothing. Horrible place. I only gave a star because I couldn't give less. read more
