Pet Stock is a store that encourage you to bring in your four legged friends to help you with your…read moreshopping. The store is huge with a concrete floor that seems to be very common with large pet stores. If you do decide to bring your best friend in with you, you can give him/her a bath at the back of the store. This is quite commonly used and it's quite cute seeing dogs enjoying their baths. They really do have a large range of stock here, hence the name I suppose. Dog treats can be found at the front of the store, with housing options for dogs, fish, birds etc scattered throughout. You don't have to bring your dog though. I've seen people walk into the store with parrots on their shoulders. I assume these birds have their wings clipped, but the staff are always ready to help with your pet and like to make a fuss of them. It's one of the friendliest pet stores I've ever been to.

Pets Domain is a nice big spacious pet store. The first thing I notice is that this place has…read moreorganisation down pat. To some people that may look a little sterile and I understand that. Pet stores are supposed to be warm and welcoming places. I say, let's give it a chance first. Right at the back of the store are the animals for sale. There are puppies available in glass enclosures at the back wall. They're not cramped quarters, but they're not too roomy either. I guess you have to compromise when it comes to space. Still, they do have a lot of it. Staff politely greet you upon entry and say goodbye as you leave. They also like to ask if you found what you were looking for as you approach the counter. The place is rarely busy so I guess they need to kill the time somehow. I do find the "over the top customer service" thing annoying, but as far as I'm concerned they haven't overstepped the boundaries yet. They have a good selection of store, though the prices are a little heftier than some other places. There is a good selection of food as well, and if you're struggling to find the only food your picky dog will touch then you may find it here.

Gem Birds has been around for many years, but has only recently relocated to Paddy's Market. I…read moredon't recall much about the previous location (which was a little further down Main North Road), but I thought I'd check out the new store. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the fact that he front of the store seems very cramped with cages on either side of you. It's quite claustrophobic, but when you walk to the back it's a little more open with larger cages and consequently larger birds. The problem with the cramped front end of the store is that the cages tend to smell. I understand this is normal when selling animals so I'd hardly call it a criticism. The staff really know their stuff when it comes to birds. They are happy to discuss your situation and which bird would suit you, as well as options for raising and possibly training your new feathered friend. To assist with the training they offer a wing clipping service so your bird will stay grounded while you teach some tricks to impress your friends. Cages are available out the front of the store for all sizes of bird, as are toys to keep your little friend entertained while you're not around. Once again, staff can advise you of appropriate cage sizes and toys. Don't let the initial smell put you off. If you want a bird or advice on how to raise or train a bird, this is the place to go.

To start off, ever since I came out of the store I am itchy all over. I believe they have bird…read moremites which I somehow bought home with me! Not happy! Went here early in the morning and the place is so disgusting. The smell I understand. The floor was thick (and when I say thick, mean thick!) with bird seeds, enough for someone to slide then slip. I know birds do throw birds seeds/empty seed shells about but come on, this is an hour after opening do they not sweep or vacuum the day before or at all? There are empty cabinet cages thick with dust and cobwebs. There's layers of dust on their products, which puts me off purchasing. The only good thing about them is their customer service, the guy there was very helpful. Never going back in there again.
