Jack, Sue, Jason and Dan are such wonderful people! They greet me every time I stop in! I sometimes go a few times a week just to look around! I'm very happy with all my bettas, fish, shrimps and plants that I've purchased from them! We recently were given two finches and they had what we needed for them as well! read more

I come here often, for Parakeet, and lizard food. This is a Mom and Pop run pet store. Much less expensive than the mainstream pet stores. They have much aquariums, bird cages, pet carriers, supplies, tropical fish, Parakeets, rats, mice, Guines Pigs, Chameleons, geckos, Bearded Dragons, Iguanas, turtles, tarantulas, those fighting fish, among other kinds of pets. I do not know whether they sell dogs, and cats. The only birds they sell, are Parakeets, as far sd I know. They will let you to bring in your own containers for mealworms. It cost me $15.00 for one thousand. I thought it would cost much more. They might do the dame with crickets. Great place! Great prices! Great service. read more

I came here after being asked to take care of a chameleon for a friend. This was the closest pet shop to her house and decided to give it a try. Shortly after entering, a gentleman made himself known to be there to assist, while still being cautious not to seem pushy. I approached him and recieved a treasure trove of information. He was willing to walk to my car to inspect the equipment I had and gave recommendations of what I may need. I had to upsell myself a bit because the costs of the products were very fair. The store was clean and neat while still being the enjoyable chaos you want from visiting a location housing dwarf hamsters, exotic fish, and lizards all in one place. I will to return to this location and support this family owned business anytime I get. Overall: Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are fair. Animals seem healthy and well treated. read more

Decent store and prices. Great selection of nano fish and plants. Pretty exceptional for a small mom and pop. Animals are well cared for. And have everything you could possibly need for small pets. You'll see other reviews complaining about son. I'd have to agree they can seem a bit impersonal at times and feel like they look at you funny. Even I have been coming here for over a year and it feels like this. Experience can be hit or miss. Sometimes they are very friendly. Been a regular for sometime now but I've learned not to take it personally. read more

Great selection of fish. They have great prices. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

Just finished setting up my 15 gallon planted river scape. Stocked with 7 harlequin rasboras,5 Pygmy corys, 2 khuli loaches, and 2 snowflake guppies. Fish have always lasted long when buying from here. This is my third time buying fish from here. Even though I am a kid they take me serious and are very respectful. Thank you to everyone at pet town. (I heard about pet town through my dad, he's been coming here since he was my age) My hobby has overflowed into the rest of my house and my first tank now sits somewhere else. While I was at pet town today I bought 4 neon tetras for the overflow tank. The pearl weed has become a jungle of knots and tangles. read more

Clean!! Everything displayed well.... especially plants to understand how the will look. Very friendly staff.

Decided to drop in while I was nearby for a doctor's appointment, and I was pleasantly surprised! The crystal clear tanks were filled with lively salt and freshwater critters, ready for their forever homes. There are some great finds at super reasonable prices! I'm bummed that I'm not local to Downey so it's a bit out of my way, but maybe that's a good thing for my wallet lol read more

I have been coming here to Pet Town a family-run pet store for 14 years. I am a Veterinary assistant. As an Animal rescuer on the weekends I have and had my fair share of many different animals and pets over those years (My Zoo-Crew) as I like to call them. I have not ever had a problem with products not being in stock. The crickets are always fresh that I buy for my Tarantula. I even let a couple loose in the house for good luck, plus I love the sounds they make it relaxes me! I came in, and the employees were welcoming, making sure I can ask them anything. What I love about this place: - A bunch of product offerings for reptiles, freshwater, saltwater, dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs etc. - Their tanks are maintained and cleaned very well! The coy fish are so cute and healthy - The crickets are always fresh and healthy. - Their fair prices - store lighting - UNS tanks, sand, aqua soil, filters - bunch of other necessities for fish, reptiles, and spiders, - and they also had the baby bird food mixture for the 8 wild baby doves, just 2 days old. - I rescued and fed every 2 hours, and released after 6 weeks. (Chitter, Chatter, Chit & Chat, Spitter, Spatter, Spit, & Spat) Saving many wild birds and then releasing them has become now a hobby. - Honestly, I find all my pet supplies in stock and cheaper than I do at Pet Smart & Petco. (Just being honest!!) - Ohh, the Cat... is the boss!! Cute cat!! Cons: non can't think of any! read more

I love pet town in downey! They have very clean salt & fresh water tanks with a great collection of freshwater shrimps that you won't find anywhere else! I've bought a few UNS tanks for a friend and myself with tissue culture plants. Tanks always look beautiful and you can find some hard to find fish that mostly have to he shipped. Looking forward to buying my next UNS tank from here and stocking a new shrimp only tank with their rare shrimps! read more

Pet Town has a really nice variety of fresh/salt water fish to choose from, including ones that I haven't been able to find at my local fish stores. They also have a nice plant collection and assortments of aquatic merchandise. Not to mention the service was great read more

Decided to try this location while in the city. Pleasantly surprised. Friendly personnel and the store was very organized. The associate that was helping us was quite knowledgeable and after getting the specs of our aquarium, he was able to recommend extra fish that we could add. Thanks for the great customer service and friendliness. He even answered our questions and provided recommendations even before we asked about purchasing fish. Great touch. We also picked up some plants and wood forthe aquarium. They have good pricing. Expertise and wonderful customer service was very much appreciated, thank you. read more

Pet Town is a gem within its area. I've always supported family owned and local businesses over corporate big chain store fronts. 1. The customer service here is A1, unlike in other shops where you get one word short answers, here you get full in depth answers based on what you want to know. 2. The variety of fish, nano fish, shrimp, A. Nano shrimp (rare green hulks, blue bolts, etc...) B. Aquatic Plants (they carry a variety of uncommon and rare bucephalandra, anubias, cryptocoryne etc...) C. Fish Tanks (they sell Ultum Nature Systems products, which only a few stores carry and the mark up isn't like the competitors) D. Filtration Systems (They well the Dennerle Scaper's Flow which is an imported product from Germany that you won't find elsewhere) E. Driftwood and Bonzai (manzanita, spider wood, bonzais, etc...) F. Hardscape Stones (Seiryu Stone, Ohko Dragon Stone, Desert Stone, etc... G. Substrate (They sell UNS Controsoil etc...) All of this aside from the reptiles and birds that they have throughout the store. I've purchased my entire Betta aquarium setup and also purchased a 21 gallon UNS 90L aquarium from them and I've been satisfied ever since. Jason and his family respect their customers and it's rare to find that nowadays. Jason helped me every step of the way. I drive to Downey from Ontario because of the quality of service. Definitely 500% recommended and A++++++++ and will definitely be back read more

This place reminds me of my childhood pet store, it does not possess the bright lights and large aisles of items like petco, yet its simple and has all the necessities, more importantly, friendly, knowledgeable store owners that welcome questions and demonstrate their years of working in this store. Here is what sold me, my son, just 8 was here to purchase his first beta fish and set up, the woman ( whom I presume was the owner) shared what was needed and what likley was not needed, she didnt oversell us, she was kind, and made this experience stress free, we are very happy with our BETA's and thankful for the knowledge she shared with us read more

Pet Town is a hidden local favorite! About 3 months ago I decided to embark on my Aquarium/Aquascape adventure. Supporting local businesses is important and I made to visit everyone around me. Pet Town is the family business you love to see they had so much knowledge, have never pushed me to buy anything and have saved me money with DIY treatments for me tank. I've built a friendship and trust with this shop and I always look forward to my weekly visits to browse there tanks and pick up supplies. read more

Pet Town - 2 beautiful guinea pigs - Pet Stores Near Me - Downey, California

This is one of the pet shops I've been coming to since the mid 90's.... with that said, I'll get to the point. They have a wide of variety of tropical fish and reptiles; However, the number of marine fish and corals is scarce. Most of my shopping from this store has been tropical fish and that's one of the main reasons I used to go there. This past week I happened to notice something I didn't like. I went in and saw a group of beautiful Discus fish, size was listed as small and I bought one at $39.99 reason being is they wouldn't haggle on the price if I were to buy 2 or more. They were firm on the price and no complaints because the Discus I bought was a good size and gorgeous color. So before leaving I said I'd return to buy some more. Next week comes along and I go ready to buy more fish but that's when things went south. This time, the Discus they had were smaller but still pretty in color; However, the price was $39.99 for medium and $69.99 for large and no small size fish were listed. But the thing is, the medium size fish they have are way smaller than the one I had bought the week before. I don't know if this a sales strategy or if business is suffering due to COVID. All I know is that I wasn't going to pay more for a smaller fish when I had bought a bigger fish for less money the week prior. Businesses need to be fair and consistent with their sales practices. It is not a matter of money, if a customer is ready to make a purchase based on an item similar to one purchased the week before then it should be consistent with the size and price all the time. Don't charge high prices for smaller fish and expect a loyal customer to take the bite. Again, private businesses have to make a profit and pay exorbitant rent prices for their place of business but think of your customers and make price adjustments accordingly and not suddenly from one week to the next. I won't be coming here again, they lost my business. There are other pet shops down the same street so, "plenty of more fish in the sea." read more
