OC Quadrio

Pet Center is a chain of pet supplies stores all over the Czech Republic. They have been on the market for about fifteen years and my family has relied on them for many years for treats, quality nutrition and everyday needs of our dog.
This branch is newly opened in the new shopping centre Quadrio (conveniently located right above Narodni Trida line B p yellow line — metro station) at –1 floor right on the left side of the escalators.
Similarly like the other branches, it has a decent selection of pet supplies for dogs, cats, small rodents and fish. They usually carry a decent range of variously priced products in each category, so every pet owner should find something suitable regardless of financial limitations.
As a huge catch for the passing children (or who are we kidding — any pet-​enthusiastic adults), this branch also houses small pets on sale — when I was there, I saw rats, mice, hamsters, rabbits, and some small birds. And then, the star of this Quadrio store — the cockatoo Chiquita.
I wondered whether I should mention Chiquita, as he might be sold any day and is as such not a permanent fixture at this store. However, he’s been a resident there for about four months, and I figured he might stay for a while, so I simply gotta give him a shoutout. This parrot has so much personality and is so much fun to be around — he’s really a reason for me to stop by in this pet shop even when I don’t need anything, and just have a relaxing little break from my busy day :). From the people I’ve seen stop by, I don’t think I’m the only one.
Also, it’s lovely to watch the staff interact with this parrot — when they take him out of the cage and play with him or when they talk to him to keep him entertained, you can see how fond they are of their semi-​permanent resident, and that they are people who truly care about and understand animals. This is hugely important for a store which gives advice to new pet owners and sells live animals — so I am really glad to see it here, and pleased to say that I would trust this Pet Center branch if I had to pick a new fuzzy friend there.

Pretty unnecessary building, pretty unnecessary shops inside. Go right through and have a look at the amazing new Franz Kafka sculpture though. It moves. If it doesn’t once you get there, wait a few seconds, it should continue to move soonish.
Also behind the building: Bheas Vegetarian Dhaba. Get yourself some healthy tasty treats!
