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!

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 :)

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!

They have bulk food in huge bags that you nearly need a forklift to carry; a wide range of collars, toys, harnesses, bowls, beds, water dispensers, flea and worm treatment, and a plethora of pet pampering products. They even have a dog washing station that we have used one Saturday. It was a bit traumatic for our little dogs though, so may be better for a medium to large dog. Petstock also have a rewards program of some sort. I think we get a discount there.

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.

As we have our own little fur baby on the way it was definetly a trip we needed to take and this place was HUGE. They have areas for specials and a fantastic range (though sometimes it feels empty since there's so much shelf space it can make products look low on stock). Staff were honest and gave good advice which was refreshing. The main thing I liked about this place though was that it was clean. Paranoid after reading up so much about parvo and other pup viruses I was really happy with rhe sterility of it, a nice change from most of the shops where they have food product spilled out on the floors and animals or birds roaming round dooking on everything haha. Coming back for pet supplies before puppygeddon!!

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.

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.
