Another store that opened a branch at Melrose Park first and I quite liked it but had to wait a…read morelittle longer before we got one down south. Easy to get to location with plenty of parking (handy if you intend to use their pet wash facility). As well as the do-it-yourself Pet Wash, they also offer Pet Test - an aquarium water testing service, Pet School - for pups that need some training and Pet Tag - an ID engraving service for pet tags. It's a great place to get any animal related items and pet foods, toys, housing, bedding, etc. I would normally only make the trip here though if I was looking for something a little more than the supermarket or fodder shop would stock.

This store is MASSIVE! We have 3 kitties, and feed them all Hills Science Diet. With various…read morerequirements, we like a particular type of their food (for furballs, LOL!), which is sometimes difficult to get from other shops. Petstock have the entire Hills range, which is very impressive. Actually, I'm pretty sure the the range is equally impressive for any mainstream pet you can think of! The store is large, and very well spaced out - it's easy to find what you are looking for. If you become a member, there are certain discounts that can be obtained (like buying so many packets of Hills food and receiving a free one). Staff are friendly, and very helpful.

Aggies is by far one of the best aquariums I've found in my travels, extremely knowledgeable staff,…read moreand they carry an incredible range of fish second to none, including varieties you just don't see in other shops. They have marine's as well as tropicals and coldwater fish. The livestock is always in such good condition - Aggie's acclimatise incoming stock rather than putting it straight out in the tanks, which helps ensure everyone gets healthy fish. There is just about every kind of accessory you can think of here, all kinds of tanks, filters, cabinets, heaters, lights, plants, food, medicine. They also have some lizards and frogs, but seriously, this is a fish destination plus. There's plenty of parking right outside the shop - halfway down the end of a strip of industrial buildings, with a plentiful amount of spaces.

My boyfriend loathes this place. And not because he is against animals in any way or has a strong…read moredislike for the principles behind pet stores. No he hates it because EVERY time we are in the Mall together, I drag him down those well trodden stairs to go down and look at the puppies/kittens/whatever animals they have in there at the time. I daresay I am not alone in this mission and I think it would definitely be a popular spot for other Rundle shoppers to de-stress for a little and make baby voices at tiny animals. To be fair, as I don't have a pet (can't have one in a rental property) I have never actually bought anything from there although I have been tempted many times by the sweet little faces that look out at you from behind the glass. I am also kind of against pet stores because I believe there are plenty of animals at the RSPCA who have had hard lives and need some love. And you don't need to pay around $800 for them.... But in terms of animal perving, this is my number one stop, and there are always new puppies waiting to be squealed at joyfully!

I bought two goldfish from here once. Oh, my sweet little Goldeen and Seaking. Sadly while I was…read moreaway my housemate allowed a foolish girl to feed them a whole tub of food. A sad day indeed. But alas, I have since bought many other pet accessories from this store. The people who work here a very knowledgable and helpful. They gave me some good advice on how to calm an insane cat I once owned. One annoying thing about the store is there alarm on the door that goes off when you enter or exit. It's a screaming high pitch screech. Terrible sound really. I can imagine it would make the animals go insane.

You can even buy your pets from there! Sometimes when you're having a bad day for whatever reason that may be, seeing a playful dog or a cute kitten is all you need to cheer yourself up again. Well I know it works for me! Whenever you walk past Pets Paradise you are guaranteed to see beautiful pets jumping around and putting on a show for the customers (unless you get them when they're asleep, but they're still adorable to watch). I have to admit it's pretty hard to resist a homeless animal when you walk by. One of these days I will walk by and cave in to temptation and buy a puppy. Or a bunny rabbit!

The Northside Pets Superstore is a great place to grab a whole lot of different items needed for…read moreyour pets, with highly trained staff included vet nurses and breeders of different species. I always venture into pet stores to sneak a peak at the adorable puppies and cute kittens that they have in stock, wishing that I could take them all home. What I was not expecting when I walked into the Northisde Pet Superstore in Hillcrest, was a variety of snakes and lizzards to impress me. Which it did. There were some amazing creatures in that store. A cute little baby childrens python even tried to attack me, and smacked its face on the glass - highly entertaining. A pet store with a different sort of livestock than your average domestic pets is definitely something worth 4 stars, especially when I got the impression that the staff were more than happy to talk to you about any questions you had.

I'd always duck into Northside Pet Superstore when I was going past, after picking up some quite…read morerare fish for an absolute steal - browsing through all the standard guppies, tetras, platys and goldfish - nothing really unusual there, but it is a pet store, not a specialised aquarium shop - I found a tank full of algae eaters - again nothing unusual (and word of warning, they're only algae eaters when they're young, and hungry - as they get bigger, and find they can eat the food your other fish are getting, they get lazy - and they'll also latch on to slow moving fish, and use them as food too - not nice fish sometimes) except for five fish that definitely weren't your everyday algae eater - tall fins, and a much more elongated shape. I asked a staff member what they were, she told me algae eaters - I took a chance on them, as they looked really interesting, and I knew I could find homes for them even if they weren't compatible with my fish, and took two of the 'algae eaters' home. Turned out they were a variety of Hemoloptera - lovely fish that don't grow too big, and sell for about ten times the price of an algae eater - and when I went back for the other three the next day they even gave me a discount on them... *bonus* :) That aside, I see a good stock of the regular fish. There's often a special on something, tetras, goldies or guppies, which probably reflects a discount they've gotten from the suppliers, but it never hurts to get a good bargain. Overall the store looks good - I don't pay a lot of attention to the rest of the livestock, unless the kids are with me, but they have a good range of animals and products.

This Fodder shop is also open on Public Holidays!!!! Open hours are same as Sundays…read more It looks small from the front but is quite long once you are inside and is bigger than first expected. They carry a good range of pre packaged foods at the front but you can also buy in bulk. I bought some 20kg bags of chook food and they even put it on a trolley and not only brought it to my car but loaded it into the boot for me too. There's easy parking out the front. They have basically the same range as a pet shop but heaps more animals available to buy than most pet shops. When I went in they had everything from rabbits, all kinds of birds, fish, turtles, even some snakes (which look beautiful through the glass but that's just where they can stay.....). Plus they of course stock all the necessary equipment, accessories and foods for pretty much all animals. We used to go to a much larger fodder shop but this one is local and the prices were comparable to the larger retailer. Plus their range is much bigger than expected once inisde. The staff there were great and even wrote all the prices of what we buy down for me so I could discuss it with my partner later that evening. We will definitely continue to make our purchases here in future.

Service with a smile, they're always happy to help people get the right products for their needs, carrying stock out to your car, etc. They do their own blend of seed and grain for chooks (love my chooks - four fresh eggs a day - way more than we can use but they're such good food scrap converters, too :) ) and if you find your birds are leaving a particular seed they'll make up a batch without it - happily. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them, and I've always found the product we need there. Compared to the prices in pet stores, supermarkets, etc, Keelans is an absolute bargain, too. Recommended.
