Great local pet shop with friendly and knowledgeable staff that care about the treatment of their animals. If you're reading reviews saying that they're unfriendly, keep in mind that these guys aren't afraid to call people out if they're unprepared or uneducated in pet ownership. Every employee is willing to help do exotic pet projects right; from reptiles to aquariums to amphibians to arthropods, bioactive setups and more. read more

Store is clean but the staff (except one very tall guy in glasses thank you for being kind ) is unwelcoming and less than helpful. The young woman was especially unwelcoming. she was curt and condescending. Ive never been to this store so I was already nervous and her behavior just made it worse. she made me want to leave. no hospitality to the point the one nice worker was over compensating when he came back out to the front. It's that kind of treatment that makes people shop online. the store is fine, they have decent selection but if they're losing money its because they're hospitality is horrendous. the store is close to where i live and its locally owned (another reason i went there) but I'll be going elsewhere for my pets needs. read more

First impressions in the door, they are selective who they are friendly to. They are not aware of their own products or at least this one that I purchased. My mission: find a cat toy and pet stroller. Not much selection for cat toys. Only found one toy. No pet stroller. read more

Pet Time - Cat ball - Local Fish Stores Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

As a pet owner of an Australian Shepherd, two leopard geckos and a veiled chameleon I shop here for all my feeder insects, best value in town! The staff is always so helpful with problem solving and never pushy with selling you their products and they make recommendations that are super helpful! Very friendly and knowledgable staff! I had a fish tank years ago and bought fish and supplies from them as well. Been going here for many years now. I can't help but say hello to all the kitties in the catery as well. read more

Pet Time has been wonderful at every turn! The staff is super knowledgeable (especially when it comes to aquatics and reptiles!) They've guided me through setting up for my first exotic pet (axolotl), offered experienced solutions to unique problems, and even external resources when what was needed wasn't in-store. Refunds have never been a problem when the products don't work out. I love the uniqueness of their critter selections, and appreciate their transparency and honesty on products and pet care! read more

This place has amphibians, reptiles, spiders, and other interesting specialty pets and their staff are genuinely knowledgeable and friendly. I go there for my frog supplies on a weekly basis and they have everything I needed in a one stop shop. They also have feeders such as crickets of all sizes, worms, etc. I can't rave enough about this place. It's also locally owned and operated -- much better than the big box shops. I highly recommend this place for anyone with a pet to visit this place and meet their friendly staff. read more

My husband who is autistic. Went in to get crickets for his 1 gecko. He told me he did say it was for his one gecko. He was told it would be cheaper to buy in bulk so for $30 they sold him 1,000 crickets! At best our baby gecko eats maybe 20 crickets a week. If you do the math at that rate it would take 50 weeks to go through that many crickets! When my husband got home and put them into his container half of them were dead! Now a crickets life span is around 90 days but even with a jelly pod they have never lasted more than a month before dying. They clearly took advantage of my husband and were very dishonest! We have many exotic pets and spend quite a bit for them so now we will take all our business somewhere else. read more

Very nice to see new owners to this shop since the last one wasn't great. I came in shortly after they opened so they had a few fish, shrimp and even turtles. I've bought a few fish here an they did great. Not like dying fish from Pet***. Plus its very close to me! read more

New owners doesn't mean better. I spent about 45 minutes talking with the "fish expert" and received miss information on multiple occasions. This place also does not have good practices when it comes to animal husbandry. During my visit I saw multiple sick and dead fish in systems and multiple fish that are not getting the correct nutrition. I was not impressed and would not recommend this store read more

We are so happy with our new kitten "Bela Lugosi" that we purchased at the Eugene, Oregon location! Paul was very helpful in making sure we got everything we needed for our new kitten! I recommend coming here for all your pets needs!. read more

Pet Time - Local Fish Stores Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This place gave me a weird vibe when I first walked in. I had higher hopes for such a large pet store but the dog aisle was full of "natural" shampoos that all had bad chemicals in then and were brands I had never heard of before. The store seemed dirty and disorganized. One person came up to help us and tell us how great one of the shampoos was but all in all we ended up leaving with empty hands and a weird feeling. They do have a large parking lot and sit in a strip mall kind of setting right off of W. 11th. read more

Great store, helpful staff, & good prices. Moved to Eugene about 2 years ago an have been going there sense. I get my snake food from here they have frozen & live mice/rats. read more

This is the best pet store in town! I am a reptile owner and I have always been able to find what I'm looking for at Pet Time. When I first got my ball python I had a hard time finding good stores to purchase frozen mice from, and that's when I decided to try here. They also have a lot of reptile supplies that other chain stores don't carry such as isopods, many different types of substrates, tons of tank decor, etc. the employees are always really nice and helpful as well! read more

I will never go back to this store. I've been bullied by the man that owns the place: he tried to guilt me into buying litter from him and I do not react well to that type of aggression. He also lied about how his prices measure up and acted entitled. I handed him my credit card, he read my name and yelled, "Support your local business, Richard!" several times. **** that. Not to mention that the litter I buy is half the price at PetSmart. Yes, HALF. The only positive is that they always have a lot of Call of the Wild dog and cat food and that they are open for a bit on the weekends, but mini-pet mart and zany zoo also stock it so why bother. read more

I have been buying my dog food here for 2 years, today I had the pleasure to meet the new Owner Mark. He has made some great improvements, and the store is looking great. He made my Daughter and I feel very welcome, and let her hold the pets. What a wonderful experience, we can't wait to go back and see what new things they have to offer now. Thank you Mark! read more

I'm not sure if they are going out of business or what but when I visited this past week they had almost no tropical fish except for a few oscars. Definitely NOT the place to go to for fish or birds. The store was dirty and disorganized. Very disappointed. read more

My favorite pet store to go to. They have the biggest selection on Fish anything from a goldfish to a 3 foot long fish. They have a huge selection on supplies, filters and everything you need. The owner was very helpful in helping me get everything I needed to start off my aquarium. They are a lot cheaper then Petco or Petsmart and they do price match which is great! I would recommend this pet store over any other pet store in Oregon. -Johnny read more

Great place to save $ on pet food! I recommend Pet Time to anyone looking to save a buck

Rude to customers. NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN, and I don't recommend you to come either! My friend also has had a awful experience here, with the owner ripping them off and giving them false information and on top of that he was following them and staring at them, overall very creepy! read more

Pet Time was recently purchased by Mark, who took over from Paul. He is doing a great job at keeping a local pet business going. I'm a fan. read more

This place has premium food and supplies. The owner isn't pushy or rude he has an awesome sense of humor! I like their price match policy and when I buy ten bags of food I'll get one free.Whoot! I like supporting small business as well. read more

I have visited this store five or six times due to its location but I have vowed to never return. What finally tipped the scale for me is seeing the deplorable conditions in which he housed and kept his chameleons. There were three 4-month old chameleons sharing a 1'x1'x1.5' cage (way too small). One of them was very sick and at the bottom of the cage with its eyes shut the other two appearing under nourished and stressed. He is using a waterfall watering system probably because it takes the least amount of attention but these breed bacteria and are not advisable. The owner prides himself on having the lowest cost, and these chams were priced low, but not the lowest I have seen and it is safe to say they will not survive. His store has a large amount of supplies but the prices are not the lowest that I have found. From reading the other reviews in which people stated the staff is friendly, They must have been speaking of the woman and not the man. When the man is there, which has been the majority of my visits, he is invasive and pressuring, asking where else I have shopped and what all my pets are then proclaiming he will undercut all other stores. He said this right after B-lining to me seconds after I entered the store. I will travel further and pay a little more not to experience these uncomfortable interactions and to not support animal abuse. There is a much better store a mile or so west on the same road next to Lowes. read more

They've got a great selection and friendly staff. They've also got a wide variety of animals for sale. Something I find super helpful the fact that they will order you something if they don't currently have it. Finally, they will match any price. They're amazing! read more

I've been a rabbit owner for 5 years now and the conditions they're letting their bunnies live in are SO inhumane. Four rabbits living with two guinea pigs, sharing one single litter box, urine on the ground with soiled wood shavings everywhere... Not to mention, there were no hiding areas for either species: only wood shavings and a single box. Please don't buy live animals from this store :( read more

I like this pet store a lot. I like to buy my fish here because they're healthy. I also like to buy my dog food here because the price is lower than other stores I've been to for the same kind of food. The staff are friendly and know a lot about animals. I think the guy who helped me was named Aron. He answered all my questions about maintaining a fish tank. When I asked the staff at Petsmart, they had to keep asking other workers and they still couldn't answer my questions. And they have grooming! They do a really nice job grooming my German shepherd whose hair is super thick. read more

Great prices and friendly staff. Locally owned with everything I need way cheaper than Pet Smart or others like that. Their dog food doesn't sit around on the shelf forever, too. They get fresh shipments all the time is what I was told by the people that work there. Recommended! read more

Paul knows more about fish than anyone. After the nightmares of dealing with petsmart I finally found the answers when I came here. Best deals on the best fish and he can custom order! I would recommend this to anyone interested in starting their own aquarium or just any pet goers in general! Definitely 5 stars!!! read more

Pet Time is a trusted resource and community pillar for over 22 years. Their straightforward approach is timeless and simple; provide critical diet advice and always have the lowest price. Placing people and pets first is a winning formula that is refreshing when the big chains seem to care more for money than anything else. read more

For years I have gone into Pet Time for the odd pet supply when I didn't want to drive across town. The owner always told me that his dog and cat foods were better & cheaper than PetsMart or Petco, but I never believed him. I recently got a new cat from West Coast Dog and Cat Rescue that has a sensitive stomach, and I needed to feed him more natural food. Well, guess who has better dog & cat food for better prices right here in the neighborhood? That's right - Pet Time! I told the owner of Pet Time today that he was right all along. This is definitely one time I am glad to be wrong! read more

Paul is friendly and appreciates his customers. He is knowledgable and not too pushy. It is nice to support a small local business like his.

Note: This is DIFFERENT than the previous post about a living social deal at this place. I got the living social deal and used it to buy flea medicine for my kitty. The owner kept harassing me at the counter to go check out other stuff, went on an on about how they were so much cheaper than every other place in town, and tried to push specialty cat food on me. He was trying to wheel and deal me so much I was distracted and walked out without the medicine. I realized it 7 minutes down the road and called them. They said it wasn't there and there was nothing they could do. When I went down to the store to confront them in person they reiterated they never saw it and refused to do anything for me. Granted... my fault for leaving without it. But really? 7 minutes later it's just disappeared? Sounds pretty fishy to me. When I walked in and told my partner the story he was reading the other rant FROM TODAY about the place! http://eugene.craigslist.org/rnr/2568328191.html This isn't the first time I've heard bad things about the store. I will never go there again and neither should you. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

The owners of this store are super-sweet, and helped me find more natural food and bathing items for our pets. I didn't do a lot of price comparisons around town, but I'm pretty sure they prices were really good. And they will give you enough samples of foods so you can see if your dog or cat will actually eat them for longer than 1 day (which my dog has duped me before into buying bags that all of a sudden aren't acceptable for the second or third meal) read more

First time ever being there and never going back. the owners were arguing when i walked in. looked like they were going out of business. walked in the back, saw the fish tanks and didn't wanna look at the disgustingness of the tanks and the horrible conditions that the fish were swimming in. read more

Went in to look at pets. Owner was extremely pushy and rude, went so far as to say, "what's wrong with you ?", I won't be back.

Pet Times prices meet or beat what I have found on line,so why Waite or pay for delivery? He is also knowledgeable, helping us with both our dog and birds. We brought our 2 parakeets in, he clipped they're beaks and talons for a super price, 3 times less than what our local vet, and did a better job, thanks Paul! read more

This place is fantastic. Amazing selection for every pet imaginable. Coming here makes me want to get a bigger fish tank because they always have the healthiest and coolest fish locally! Not only is it a one stop shop for my fish but for my dogs also. Talk to the owner if the food you want is not on the shelf and he will order it for you! The owner provides excellent customer service and is very knowledgeable on all animals. Whenever we go in wanting a new fish he always knows which fish will be compatible with our current tank family. Did I mention I also got a very durable 25 gallon tank here on sale? Yeah, this guy has it ALL. read more

Very impressed, they have the best prices in town. Even willing to beat a coupon. They are very knowledgeable and carry good brand foods, not garbage pet food. Been coming here for years now. Must go. Locally owned. Owners are very nice and I always have a great visit. read more

Been going to Pet Time for years and have always gotten healthy fish at good prices. What they lose in lack of selection, they more than make up for in terms of quality and knowledge. Skip the big box stores and shop here for your fish and accessories. read more

Pretty standard as pet stores go. Unfortunately, they sell critters like rabbits that should absolutely be adopted or sourced directly from a reputable breeder. They have a variety of monster fish (over 8") in okay conditions. All their fish seemed relatively healthy, but clearly very stressed by their surroundings. "$1 to feed me" on some tanks was pretty upsetting as fish are very sensitive to overfeeding. Can't comment on dog or cat supplies. read more

Have visited this store many times. They have a lot to stuff for my aquariums. The fish are of the highest quality. The employees have a lot of Information. The shop is very full. And yet very clean and organized. The store is easy to find. I have been to a lot of stores looking for the things I need. This store has me needing to go no where else searching. I recommend going here for all your pet needs first. It will save a lot of time. James F. read more
