The Pet Spot

It’s rare to find a Pet Shop that sells live animals and still cares about animals!
Funnily enough, half of the animals in this shop are actually kept as pets and are not for sale: a tame talking Galah that loves a cuddle, tame pet rats that are always grateful for a treat, a huge pet rabbit and quite a few lizards! You can tell that the animals love the daily attention of staff and customers and are well looked after.
Staff in this shop are always friendly and very helpful; they have a profound knowledge about all kinds of pets — from study courses (i.e. vet nursing!) and personal experience — and they are always happy to share this knowledge with customers who take an interest.
When staff members recommend a certain product, you can trust them that they don’t want to «rip you off» — but that this product will improve the life of your pet!
And in case a certain product is not in stock, it can be ordered for individual customers.
Since opening hours & parking are very convenient, it’s certainly the place to go to first if you’re looking for a new pet or for anything FOR your pet… :-D

One of my missions in life over the last year or two has been to find the best pet shop in Adelaide. Whilst this isn’t the pinnacle of that epic quest, it isn’t a bad shop either.
Like Paul says, the prices are mostly about what you’d expect. You’ll find some good deals here and there, but occasionally you’ll also find some things to be too highly priced to be really competitive with some of the larger stores.
I think the service is pretty reasonable here, I’ve never had to wait long to get what I need. Not a bad place at all.

Outside the Pet Spot are locally made cages. That’s a rare thing as most of the cages you see in pet shops are cheap Chinese imports. The Pet Spot use local cage makers, mainly for rabbit hutches.
It’s good to support local business!
With that being said, they seem to be getting in less and less locally made cages. Either that or they’re selling more and more. I hope this isn’t the case, as these locally made cages are well made and sturdy.
The rest of the store is well stocked. The prices are average, some things can be found cheaper elsewhere while others are a good buy. The selection is good, but while it’s a big store it gets dwarfed by a lot of the newer larger stores around.
So is it really all about size, or the way you use it? Everyone has a different opinion, so the best way to find out is to give the place a visit.
