Through my experience, and again I am speaking through my experience here. Some may agree and majority will probably disagree. The owners name is Bruce and honestly every time me and my boyfriend go in there, we go only for tank decorations and for our African cichlids. Tanks are not in the best of conditions but saying their animals will dye within a week is false. Bruce is always kind and helpful when we have questions or problems with our tank. Hes our go to before any other stores. The reason being that they let the dead fish float in the cichlids tank is because they are naturally aggressive fighting fish. Once one dies, it is in their nature to pick at the dead one and eat a bit. I know doesnt sound good but it what they are. I dont know about dog conditions or any other animals for that matter but as for their fish department, they have my votes. (Our cichlids lasted over 3 months in our tank until us as the owners made a mistake and on our behalf of the mistake they died) not because of the pet store.

These other review are completely incorrect and are just plain (ass)umptions. I not only frequently visit this pet shop by also worked there for a little over a year. To have that variety of animals from dogs to cats,rodents,reptiles,amphibians,arachnids salt water and fresh water fish in such a small store (meanwhile the one on broad street maybe has one ferret, and a leapord gecko and one parakeet) anyone with a normal IQ may know it might smell a little. And these floors were mopped every single day. And all shelves were dusted everyday. Bruce has a VAST amount of birds so the more they flap the more dust goes around(Some more common sense). This small family owned pet shop is awesome and all these animals are cared for and all animals are fed and watered daily. Support your local businesses. I was born and raised in Elizabeth and this pet shop has been in my life since I was young. Huge thumbs up !!

This pet shop has everything. The largest selection of livestock that I have seen in years. I couldnt believe how many hand fed birds that he is taking care. From Cockatiels to Macaws it just was unbelievable. The reptile selection was also a complete shop. He had Lizards,snakes ,turtles,frogs, and everything else that was legally possible and all the supplies needed to keep them alive. I then went and saw 10 of the cutest well behaved puppies that I have seen in a long time. They were expertly taken care of in clean cages and someone was there to help you bond to the puppies. But the favorite thing in the shop was the Aquariums with the fish in it. A very large selection of salt and fresh water fish at what seemed very low prices. Too sum my experience in this shop I thought I was at the ZOO it was unbelievable . I just cant believe that this type of store exist anymore

I was recently visiting a location near this pet shop. I looked in the window on this very hot day and noticed several puppies in rusty crates. The sun was beaming thru the windows and on these animals and they were obviously not being taken care of. They did not have water, they were not provided proper pads to sleep on, so the puppies slept on the wire cage day and night it seems. I decided to enter the shop of horror and found many animals being neglected. This shop is def not providing customers with healthy animals. If your ok with purchasing puppy mill puppies and supporting a negligent pet shop, feel free to shop here, all others beware!

9/10/16 First time going to this place and last. We got to this place and as soon as we got in you can smell how bad these people maintain this place. I am sorry for all the animals in these place it was hot humid inside. I wish the city take a look at this place for temperature and hygene. The dogs in their cages look dirty and exausted. Birds and guinea pigs all dirty cages. This place should be only for critters, snakes, cats, and fish. Poor organization for the size of the store. They need to take a look inside of real Petland store. I do not recommend this place for dogs, birds; the rest of the animals pretty much like dirt.

I always buy here and never had a problem. They should dust the place thought as it looks like its been abandoned. I bought a lamp for my bearded dragon and it was covered with dust. Other than that, I like the shop. They have items I need for my beardy and way cheaper than Petland. So much animals in there too! They have fishes, dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, amphibians etc... Awesome place and great service.

Bad presentation overall, with the foul smell of fish as soon as you enter, the lack of hygiene on their tanks, or even for puppies/kitties cages. If youre an animal lover, I suggest you shop elsewhere. If youre looking for anything in specific when it comes to aquariums, theres a good chance you might find something here, but other than that, its not really good.

Great old school Pete Shop, they have everything, Its been around for many generations so when I say old school it really is!! But its great if for some odd reason they dont have what you want they will get it!!! And the crew all enjoy what they do and really want to help you..... great place if you miss them old school Pet Shops

I bought my parrot from Bruce 18 years ago, he sold me beautiful, healthy and super intelligent African Gray Parrot and even taught me how to feed him with a syringe, he was just born. Until this day when I travel he watches him. They take really good care of him. This is a guy that truly care for those animals. Thank you Bruce!

Wonderful place, bought my bunny here for 50$ as a baby back in September and and healthy, I believe they hand raise a lot of the animals because my bunny was veeeerrry friendly when i got him, place is a little dirty but other than that animals are well cared for!

very dirty .. the animals seem neglected . birds have piles of waste in the cages . the way they are stored is wrong and sad . the place smells like dog piss . the animals all seem like they are on something especially the hamsters and bearded dragons ..
