Remember when you were a kid, and you would go past pet stores wanting to have a look at the…read moreanimals? Then as you entered the pet store sometimes your were disappointed to find that the only pets in the store were fish, and possibly birds. This store is like that. There are no puppies, no kittens, not guinea pigs but there are fish. However positively, if you like fish, this is your store. Gold fish galore. Also considering that I have been told to never buy a decent sized pet from a pet shop, eg.dog, I guess this further supports the fact that in truth, this store is quite nice :)

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!

You can get cat leashes here too, which to me is ridiculous, what if you take it for a walk and the darn thing decides to walk up a tree? You can buy pets here too, like little bunny's and birds and fishes and puppies and kittens.

This place also stocks animal costumes, collars and leads, pre-made mince, dry food, and pet food friendly desserts by the kilo. Other natural products such as pet shampoos and medicinal products are also available. The Pet Deli also supports local animal shelters which is also a good thing.

A lot of their stuff is fresh food and they have heaps of cool and different treats. They are a little expensive compared to maybe making your own food but seriously, who has the time nowadays. When these people do it all for you. They also sell all the best brands of flea and worming treatments. The ones you usually have to buy from the vet or maybe a fodder shop. You can get them all here too. We have a dog with some skin allergies and I can get much better shampoo's for her from here than from a supermarket. They also give great advice on such things. They are starting an online facility for ordering soon as well so keep an eye on the website or their facebook page for an annoucement. Great specialty store!

Out of all the aquarium shops in Adelaide that I've visited (and I think I've been to them all by…read morenow) this would be my first stop if I could only go to one. Without a shadow of a doubt they have the biggest range of fish, and by far the deepest range of exotic species. There are shops that have cheaper fish, bigger fish, rarer fish, harder to find plants, or a bigger range of cichlids, or marine exotics - but for all round range, Seaview has it hands down. It's also a huge store - lots of tanks to choose from, accessories, pumps, decorations, rocks & logs - you name it, it's here. Again, there ARE bigger stores - but the range here has everything I could think of needing all contained in one store. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. It can get busy, and I've stood in a frustratingly slow queue on a Saturday - but that's understandable given they need to communicate with a lot of customers over the suitability of fish for their needs, that they understand the care needed for certain species, etc. Parking is best off the Anzac Highway - I've seen far too many wing mirrors whipped off cars parked here while people shop for fish.

A BIG SHOP FULL OF FISH (and other aquatic creatures)…read more I've been coming to Seaview Aquarium for a long time. I actually bought my turtle "Fred" here when he was the size of 50c piece. Now he's the size of a large dinner plate. Along with 2 tanks, and a whole school of fish... this place loves taking my money :) I've tried many other fish / aquarium shops in Adelaide but this really is your one stop shop for all fish, turtle, frog and marine plant supplies, they also have a large range of tanks and ponds. It is easily the best aquarium shop in Adelaide. It does however get a little busy on weekends, so prepare for a wait while you get served, but there is a lot of cool marine displays to look at while you wait. Check out the shark tank very cool, or my Bumblebee Cichlid who now lives in the large Cichlid tank out back, he got way to big for my 6 ft tank and started picking on all the others. :( Prices are reasonable, and the staff are usually friendly... If you love spending endless amounts of cash on your marine critters, then this is the place to go. :)

They even have a digital photo frame with revolving photos of the treasured pets of the regulars. Nothing is too much trouble for them: I go in to buy fresh kangaroo mince for my pampered little princess and they are always happy to divide the mince up into smaller amounts for me to freeze. You can't miss this shop as you walk along the Broadway as it is a bright lime green colour. In keeping with this theme, the staff are decked out in lime green polos and caps giving the shop a pleasant clean, modern feel. They specialise in gourmet foods for dogs and they cook home made casseroles for pampered pooches daily. Scruffies also has a good range of pre-packaged food, treats and accessories.

A definate 5 STARS!!! Undoubtedly Adelaide's best fresh Pet…read morefood store. They have an enormous range of pet foods & pet products. All the pet food smells amazing!! It's always very fresh & also looks very appealing - almost good enough to eat by a human. I've noticed, that food purchased from other places have a distinct odour, a definite "pet food" smell & in some cases, a horrible smell. Scruffies food doesn't have that smell...it smells like fresh food always. All the ingredients in their food looks fresh & appetizing. Other places use garlic to mask odour of their not-so fresh produce, but it still stinks. Scruffies also use garlic, but their food still smells fantastic. All my pets LOVE Scruffies food. Great service, very helpful and friendly. I travel from the Blackwood area to buy from them. Keep up your high standards. Thanks from Maryann.
