Don't like pets paradise. Never have, never will…read more I had a friend buy a dog from PP (not this particular one), which turned out to be blind in one eye, and had a brain infection. Poor thing had to be put down within a week of her having him. I avoid any pet shop that sells pets other than fish and birds.

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!

Pets Everywhere used to be called Northside Pets, so I'm not sure if it was a management change or…read morewhat but essentially it's got the same stock with not much change. They have exotic pets like snakes, lizards and other reptiles and also spiders - eek! I will not be anywhere near those things and it's a good thing they dont' sell Mortein as I'd be armed and dangerous with a can. It's a big shops and there's alot of pet stock under the roof with equipment, food, supplies and all sorts of weird pets and the norm and nfortunately they do sell kittens. But there are other furry creatures like rabbits and guinea pigs and if you don't want to get that close there's always fish.

This pet shop keeps birds in a way that isn't good for their health and welfare…read more I visited this shop about 3 weeks ago and there is a room where they keep the birds for sale. The room's cold, has a concrete floor and no natural light. Birds need natural full spectrum light in order for their bodies to make vitamin D and enable them to have the correct sleeping patterns. They should at least have full spectrum light bulbs. The room has parrots in triple-decker cages. The birds in the top and middle cages get artificial light, but the parrots in the lowest cages are living in deep shadow and it's distressing to see how these birds cope with this. The one sole occupant in the lowest cage has no tail feathers left and is continually climbing to reach the upper corners of its cage to try to access some of the light - anyone can see this is an anxious and unhappy bird. The room also contains box cages full of about 30 - 40 finches. The owners have only been bothered putting up the one perch for this many finches in a single cage. Every centimetre of this perch is used by the finches; when one bird moves they're all forced to move. The rest of the birds have to sit on the ground and would also have to roost on the ground at night. This is bad for their feet - birds need to be able to perch, especially at night when they roost. They're also forced to spend extended periods of time overnight on a floor full of bird droppings, obviously not good for their health. On a closer look at the cage there is a bracket to support a second perch. These people have clearly just been too lazy to bother putting in a second perch for such a high number of these birds. A friend told me he'd gone in there once and saw a pair of very young budgie chicks just sitting in the corner on the floor. They were clearly too young to have been taken from the nest but here were these people putting them into this cage without even adequate perching and trying to sell them before they were properly ready to leave the nest. The way the owners keep these birds shows no regard for their welfare and these people are denying these birds' the opportunity to engage in essential natural behaviors like accessing enough light, the ability to perch and the ability to avoid having to sit in bird droppings. Not good at all.

It's always nice when you receive a warm welcome into a business. The cockatoo outside of Petsland…read moresadly didn't welcome me when I walked up to the entrance. Maybe he doesn't talk, I don't know... Either way, let's forget about the rude cockatoo... Just joking, if he does talk he might be shy... The place is quite big as seems to be the norm for a lot of pet stores these days. The days of the small pet shop seem to be ending. Maybe it's the added convenience of being able to take your pet into the shop. The floors are concrete as most of these big pet stores are. Petsland has a large range of goods. Most common animals are available here, though people tend to flock to the puppy pen. It's nice to see the animals NOT in a glass enclosure, as tends to be the case for a lot of pet stores. The puppies always look happy and playful, and I really do think it has to do with the environment they're in. Prices are about on par with most other pet stores. We looked around and tried to find something that undercut their opposition, but there wasn't really much to talk about in the end. It's a nice pet store with a lot of selection, but you don't need to go out of your way if you have another store local.

This isn't a bad place to pick up stuff for your pets. Although I am not enthusiastic about places…read morethat sell pets any larger than a gold fish, this place is not as bad as some in this regard. The service is alright. Friendly, attentive and fast. There are some bargains to be had, but most things are fairly competitively priced, not really being that much more costly than Pet stock. Not a bad place.

I have two dogs and a cat, so I am…read morealways looking for cool pet stores where I can buy treats and toys for my beautiful furbabies. Also, I have just moved houses, so I was on the search to find a new destination for my supplies. One thing that I really love about Yelp is that it point's me in the right direction constantly. I go to all the cool shops now. Places where locals love and want to share the love! And this brings me to P&K pets. This store is surprisingly big! From the street it looks like a pokey little store, but head on into it and it just keeps going! My only disappointment was that it doesn't really have a carpark (unless I missed it anywhere?), so I had to park in the pub carpark. But not too far of a walk to the store and not that this would deter me from going back. This store has such a huge selection of products for all different types of animals. Also, the animals that they sell look very happy and healthy.There are lizards, fish, bunnies, turtles, etc... I even saw two pet Kookaburras. Wow! As for dog food and toys, a brilliant selection with great brands to choose from. Well priced and they offer a 5% off when you join up as a member of the store. I signed up in a flash! Every dollar counts. They also pointed out that the discount only applies to full priced items. Fair enough. The staff are so super friendly and so happy to help! They even offered to help me carry my massive bag of dog food to the car. How sweet! They helped me find what I needed and offered me some great advice for my pets. Totally love this store and so happy to have found my new destination for pet gear near my new home!

P & K Pets is one of the largest pet stores I've seen, and it's collection of fish and furry…read morecritters is beyond impressive. I went to this a while ago to buy my girlfriend some fish. I'm warning you right now - if you think that fish are easy to look after, you couldn't be more wrong. They require a lot more care than dogs or cats, will die on you at any sudden moment, and don't give you any love in return. Despite all this, the staff at P & K really know their stuff. They gave me all of the materials and equipment required to properly look after the fish and information on which fish live well together. I usually hate going in to pet stores and seeing a whole lot of puppies and kittens locked away in plastic boxes. Fortunately P & K Pets is an ethical pet shop, and they no longer sell kittens or puppies in the shop. Furthermore, they refuse to keep any pets in the store if the temperature is above 33 degrees celcius. It's comforting to know that these guys really care about the welfare of these animals, and if I am ever to buy another pet in the future, I'll know where I can get pets that are genuinely well looked after.

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.

I have found, since I have become an avid Yelper, that I look at places in a different light. I…read moretend to give businesses a higher rating, not because they are flashier or trendier or even because there is a sexy gril behind the counter (the last one was a blatent lie), but I find I prefer the places that have an indefinable character. Usually I find this 'character' easier in pubs (strange that), but occasionally I come across a store that makes an impression on me and it doesn't make too much sense. This is the dilema I find myself in with the Glenelg Pet Centre. It doesn't reak of dog turds, nor does it have the usual cuddlies in the window making you feel guilty for not taking them home. It has a large selection of accesoriesfor pets (which I am not really a fan of) plus heaps of animal munchies specially designed by vets who claim to know what pets like.....depressing looking dry crap looks like the go! The store stocks more 'interesting' pets (i guess) with fishies, turtles and hermit crabs getting pride of place. I think the best thing to say would be, if you have pets and don't mind 'spoiling them' (which is really just satisfying your own thoughts on what they would enjoy), then check out Pets with Pizazz, as the store slogan says, and you will see what I mean!
