There is no better way to describe Roly (owner) and his daughter Eileen than professional, helpful and two of the kindest people I've ever met! It never fails that whenever day we go in (very often) we are always welcomed with smiles and don't get me started on the knowledge! My fiancé and I had ZERO idea of how to even begin the aquarium hobby, but with the help of Roly and Eileen we are at least amateur hobbyists. The amount that they both have taught us along this journey is nothing less than impressive and we are extremely grateful!! I recommend this store to absolutely everyone! And if you are in the Hialeah/Miami Lakes area this should be your one and only go to place! They have everything from salt and fresh water to fill/refill your tanks, live sand, beautiful live rock, anemones, corals, and of course the must beautiful and exotic fish for fresh water and saltwater tanks! If you have very large tanks they can even provide maintenance services to help take that off your plate! To sum it up, they have, and do IT ALL! We could not be happier and more proud than to call this our neighborhood store! Check them out and I assure you this review will live up to its expectations!

Today I get home and the filter on the tank they sold me is not working, as a result the 2 axolotl died. I called to see what they could do for me and the answer was nothing at all!!!

My nephew was so saddened by this and I just purchased the tank yesterday with the filter and axolotls and they can't do anything for me...before you walk out of this store make sure what you are buying is working, because if it doesn't don't expect them to help you out at all!!! Only bright spot was Carlos, sales associate.

I expect a pet sitter to be 100% trustworthy and honest. Their job is to give you peace of mind…read morethat your furry child and your personal property are in good hands. I have not been impressed with Furry Spot and I agree with the reviewer about prepaying - you might not get the best care every time but you'll pay for it anyway. (FYI, Dania is the owner and she hires contractors for walks/feedings.) I went out of town for a week in June and Furry Spot was MIA for some of the days (they promise a photo of your cat every day, but I didn't always get one and couldn't reach anyone). I had a bad feeling before I left because the girl was supposed to come by for instructions but flaked. When I came home I found FLIES in my cat's food bowl and the rest of a can of food on the counter wrapped in a paper towel (Read: "Refrigerate after opening"). With that many flies, I seriously doubt she had come by for at least 2 days. The food bowl was FILTHY -- obviously not washed between feedings. Took a couple of soaks and scrubs to get it clean. Even more troubling (though not surprising, based on what I just told you) was that my cat vomited 3-4 times the day I got home and he was really agitated. I had to leave town again in a few days - but had prepaid and it was too late to find someone else - so I was freaking out. I was also REALLY upset that Dania had not tried to call me despite my text messages asking her WTF went wrong (not in those words, of course). I finally got her on the phone and she was too stressed out about her employee and other customers to pay much attention to my concerns. No refund. She believed that the employee had come every scheduled day...because "she told me she did." On a positive note, this time Dania did the visits instead of giving them to a contractor. My cat seemed healthy when I returned and no flies! Another thing related to trustworthiness: Earlier in the year we agreed to trade services - pet sitting for tutoring. I discounted my fee, overlooked no-shows, accommodated requests to "pay next time." She was really happy with my services, but when it came to paying, told me for months that business was "really slow." Never paid me, never refunded what I overpaid her and didn't use. Never returned my keys (had to change the locks). Hope this is useful to some of you.

Last month my boyfriend and I had to head out of town for a wedding. More than any other detail,…read moreour biggest dilemma was trying to find someone to watch our kitten (well, she's technically a cat but she's my little fury baby). We adopted our cat (Raja) from the pound when she was only 7 weeks old; she is very used to my boyfriend and I but hasn't been exposed to many other people. We both work from home so naturally, Raja has become somewhat needy and requires a good amount of attention. I spent about a month looking for places near me; animal hospitals, cat boarding places, friends but none of the places gave me any comfort; after all I LOVE my Raja About one week before our trip we made the decision to leave her home by herself. We were going to buy her some extra food and litter boxes and pray for the best. At first this idea seemed to work but I changed my mind and I looked hard to find someone to watch her; that's when I started looking for someone to come to our apartment to check on her instead of leaving her somewhere. I came across Furry Spot on Yelp and saw some decent reviews, however even though most of the reviews were amazing there were some that, well, weren't. We took our chances and called Dania, the owner at Furry Spot and made an appointment to meet with her. The day of our meeting, we chatted with Dania for about 45 minutes; we spoke about how Furry Spot works, about Raja and about the cost. I felt so comfortable after meeting Dania I knew I was going to hire her to watch Raja while we were away. Fast forward - we go on our trip after dropping off our apartment keys to Dania the night before and even though I trusted she was in good hands, I still wanted to check up on my kitty. I called Dania the next morning knowing that she was going to be at our apartment bright and early to make sure that Raja made it through the night OK without my boyfriend and myself. Dania assured me everything was wonderful and that Raja surprisingly took a liking to Dania (she doesn't like many people). Dania even sent me a photo of Raja playing which made me very happy. We were only gone for 5 days and Dania and I text each other every day. When we got home from our trip, Raja seemed like her normal self. Very happy to see us but not distraught at all! She was clean, smelled good, her litter box was clean, she had plenty of fresh food and water, she looked like she ate and there were no injuries to her (Thank goodness). We don't go out of town often but when we do I'm definitely using Furry Spot again! In fact, I'd recommend them to anyone in the area. I'm really glad that I gave Furry Spot a chance because there were some bad reviews; one had nothing to do with the service but was angry about Dania wanting payment upfront so I didn't care too much about that. One was really negative and I'm shocked that anyone could have such a bad experience like that considering mine was so positive! I don't normally write reviews (especially ones this long) but I'm such an animal lover that I felt it was necessary to help out fellow pet owners who plan to travel or need any pet service for that matter.

Here she is again, looking as cute as can be. It's a hidden gem in Hallandale for anyone that does not know where it is. The entrance is in the back off Hallandale beach Blvd. It is very clean, everyone is so kind, and loving to the dogs. They do a full grooming, bath, cut, face trim, nails, and her cute little bow. She smells wonderful after. They follow the exact cut you ask and picture you show. I feel like so many places now I don't feel comfortable leaving her. She always comes back calm and there is no change in her temperament. That is something i realized effects her. She was scared of everything and would not leave my side after one grooming experience prior to finding Kenos. So now I am very selective of who I leave my dog with, who grooms her, and anything she needs. Dogs are like people, they just can not tell us what they feel.

We purchased an Indian Ringneck parrot from this store, and not long after bringing him home, he…read morebegan developing serious neurological symptoms. After months of veterinary visits, extensive testing, and approximately $1,500 spent on diagnostics, our avian specialist diagnosed him with Avian Bornavirus (PDD). We are now facing the heartbreaking decision of euthanasia because his condition has become irreversible. According to our avian veterinarian, this virus is transmitted from bird to bird and has a long incubation period, meaning infected birds can appear healthy for months before showing symptoms. What has been even more disappointing is the store's response. Despite providing veterinary records and attempting to resolve this matter directly, the store has refused to take responsibility or offer any meaningful assistance. Our family, especially our three children, is devastated. We hope our experience encourages prospective buyers to ask detailed questions about health screening and testing before purchasing a bird. We cannot recommend this store based on our experience.

After visiting several local fish stores, I can confidently say this one has earned my business…read more I originally purchased my 15 gallon reef aquarium from them, and even though my 53 gallon system wasn't bought there, Luis, Allen, and Anthony have gone above and beyond helping me get it properly cycled and set up for long term success. That says everything about the kind of business they run. In the reefing hobby, healthy livestock, honest advice, and experience are worth far more than flashy displays, and this store delivers on all three. Their fish and coral selection is outstanding, the livestock is healthy and well cared for, and they never push unnecessary products just to make a sale. If something isn't ready, they'll tell you. If they think there's a better way to do something, they'll explain why. That level of integrity is becoming rare. As someone who is still learning the reefing side of the hobby, I've asked more questions than I can count, and they've always taken the time to educate me instead of rushing me out the door. They have helped me avoid costly mistakes and made what can be an overwhelming hobby enjoyable. A special thank you to Luis, Allen, and Anthony. Your knowledge, patience, and customer service set the standard for what a local fish store should be. If you're serious about building a successful reef aquarium or you're just getting started, this is the shop you want in your corner. I recommend them without hesitation.
