Elliotts For Pets

This is a great and cheap place for animals and supplies for a pet. I came here the other day with my sister to get a bunny as a gift for my younger sister. The guy that worked there was very helpful and answered all my questions. All the staff there are friendly and helpful to all customers, from what i observed. Place smells like dog food, but thats understandable since a large portion of the shop is mainly food for pets. Overall, i had a great experience and if i ever plan on needing anything else for our bunny or want to get another one ill definitely be back!

Use to be a petco guy until I found this place, the staff know a lot about the products they’re selling. Oscar is a very smart and funny guy. I recommend this store to anybody who has a pet.

I rescued a kitten his name is Salvatore. I gave him a food called sheba that i thought was meat and good for him because of the packaging. Then he realized it wasn’t meat and refused to eat the chicken flavored cans. I went to Eliotts and tried a case of tiki cat food which is a quality food for cats he refused to eat it. they refunded me money without any problem and I got another case of the old food. again he wont eat some of that. I came back because of how good I was treated the first time at Elliotts and a kid that works there suggested 2 more brands that work on the most finicky of cats. I went with taste of the wild. When I presented it to Sal Iacted like it was my food and pretended to eat it. Now he devours it and is eating it! Thanks for all the effort! Elliots has earned a customer for life here!

Excellent, friendly service is what keeps me coming back. The young staff is always asking to help me find something or to carry stuff out to my car. They also do a lot to help local animal-​related charities, and are supportive of rescue efforts. Prices are average, especially if you take advantage of their sales day. Selection and variety are average to above average. Being pet friendly is always a plus.

Great prices, friendly staff, and quality products– what more can you ask for? I stopped by here by chance one day after class while grabbing coffee at Kraemer’s. I was promptly greeted, and everyone working was genuinely nice! They have a nice little selection of salt and fresh water fish, and their bettas looked extremely healthy (unlike many chain store betta fish.) I came in just to browse and ended up buying some grooming brushes, cat treats and food, and a cat grass growing kit just to test out my green thumb. Everything was cheaper than chain stores I used to frequent– not to mention a better selection of quality products– and I came on a Wednesday when everything except for cat and dog food is 10% off. Bottom line, I don’t think I’ll be shopping anywhere else for pet food and grooming supplies anymore!

J. B and Troy helped me today and as always gave amazing customer service. They are very knowledgeable and courteous. I must have asked about 100 questions and they were both more than happy to answer all of them and give me advice about the specific fish. If you need a pet shop look no further, this place is awsome!

Best pet store in Riverside. Great service, good prices, excellent choices. Plenty of premium dog food too. Parking is good and they will carry heavy items to your car. Way better than any big box store.

When it comes to things for my dog, not only am I picky but she has a sensitive stomach and sensitive skin. Thankfully, Elliott’s has everything I need for her; from her grain-​free dry food to her chem-​free doggy soap.
I gave my dog a specific grain-​free brand of dog food which they unfortunately do not actively carry however, they are able to special order it for her. I don’t get her that brand any more after getting a recommendation for something similar (and less expensive). What I’ve also noticed is that some items are cheaper here than they are at Petsmart or Petco. ($ 2.29 for a can of dog food here compared to $ 2.99 at Petco… hey it’s the little things that count.)
To top it all off, the folks that work here are always say hello and ask if I need any help. Gotta love that friendly service!

I have been Lilly’s adoring human companion for the entire 5 years I have had that little 11 lb., rescued Chihuahua/​Beagle (who in reality lovingly rescued me). But when it comes to feeding her, short of hiring a personal puppy chef to cook delectable doggie dinners for my Lilly, I have constantly been in a dilemma over what she likes to eat.
Having tried (both singly and in multiple combinations) countless kibbles, as well as frozen, dehydrated, and canned foods that were supposedly top rated, quite expensive, and sure-​as-​shootin’ wonderful, none were given a thumbs up (or would that be paws up) from that little canine princess. Suppertime was beyond depressing. Have you ever seen a dog refuse to eat? Those downcast big browns, the dramatically slumped shoulders, the reluctant walk, even downright refusal to budge from her doggie bed? You would think I was punishing her. I was advised, «Give her time… when she is hungry enough, she will eat.» Well, she wouldn’t eat for days on end. It broke my heart and so in desperation, I’d finally give in.
I discovered her appetite was simple… if *I* ate it, i.e. people food, then it was clearly fine for her. And we all know how horrible «people» food is for people, let alone for doggies. She loved bacon, peanut butter toast, steak bones, and lots of special doggie treats (yeah…well, I didn’t eat those myself). Her plump little tushie wadded as she walk, but it was mostly that lethargic, extraordinarily unenthusiastic demeanor at dinner time if I dared to try to pass some that «DOG» food off on her. My poor little Snoopy wannabe had no bounce, was malnourished but overfed.
It was during a Lilly pup shopping trip at Elliott’s that I was advised by an employee to try Evanger’s brand. I have never seen that brand anywhere else, it came in a large sized can, and had a suspiciously low price ($ 1.39 per can). Clearly this can’t be good, it’s too cheap and it’s way too big a can! I bought 3 cans of different flavors and tested her on it. Hmmm! It smelled and looked really good, even to me. Her usual reticence quickly turned to greed, within minutes the bowl was licked so clean it looked like the dish was masterfully washed. Must be a fluke. But no, she has been relishing it ever since, no matter the flavor. That was perhaps 10 weeks ago, and there has been no let up to her enthusiasm.
I now prepare her dinner using a scoop of the Evanger’s combined with one crumbled Stella and Chewy’s brand dehydrated biscuit (this is also good stuff and adds fruits and vegetables to her meal), and even though she has become voracious eater, she is now a noticeably trimmer and more energetic little dog.
Lilly has been an Elliott’s customer for a very long time. They have patiently allowed me to return foods that have been opened and rejected by my pup. Thank you, Elliott’s for being true to your guarantees, and thank you for helping me to find that special something that now has my dog healthy and happy and singing a different tune:

Don’t buy fish here, especially feeder fish. They all have diseases. The people who work in the store are rude. Every fish that I bought from the store has died.

Great service, always greeted when walking in. Superior prices too, when compared to the big chain stores. I love places where your pet is welcome to walk and sniff around. The staff is quite knowledgeable on their wide variety of foods for different pets. Love it. Being able to pet the bunnies is a big bonus for me as well.

TO THE PERSON POSTING PHOTOGRAPHS OF A BUNNY PRETENDING TO BE THE ONE THAT DIED: stop, that is evil. The person, «Samantha» has zero reviews, photos and so forth before that one. That is clearly the company trying to save their behinds. They were selling at least two other ones the day I purchased mine that looked the same, they came from the same parents I am sure. Don’t be fooled. Mine was killed by fault of this store. Period. You can even just easily look through the photos on here and see a large rabbit that has the same coloring… Think. Read through the reviews of others speaking out against them too, such as Keith, Jonathan, Amy, Becky, Jennifer and more… I will not be bullied into silence. I put my trust into them to sell me, the customer, the correct and safe equipment and food. Never again. This place only hires men who are stoned (I don’t even care, but when you are dealing with animal’s lives I sure do…) half of the time or at the very least appear to not want to be there. There was one worker with red hair who did seem to understand. Anyway, they sold me a THREE level cage for a bunny that fit in my hand and who was too young to even know the sex. It broke its back and is currently being euthanized. If you want to cry and be screwed with then shop here. The owner should have apologized and promised to properly educate his employees rather than being sneaky. PLEASE take 2 seconds and click“sign” for my petition against them REMEMBER THEY/​ANIMALS ARE DEFENSELESS BUT WE ARE NOT:

I work just right down the street from this place and I always pass by it on my way… I finally decided to give them a try.
I have a purebred golden retriever and an Australian shepherd/​golden retriever mix. Both active yet chubby lol… They eat ALOT to say the least. I’ve been doing a lot of research on their dog foods and finally decided on blue buffalo wilderness. If you know the brand then you know that’s it’s hella expensive… We’re talkin like at least 2 days worth of your paycheck LOL. Anyway I usually get them from Petsmart so I can rack up my Petsmart rewards but when I went into this store I noticed the prices were a little cheaper… About a $ 3 – 5 difference.
Customer service is excellent too. As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted and not only got helped by 1… But 3 different associates. Maybe because I’m a girl? Hehehehe. He even helped me put the dog food in my car!
I would definitely come here again!

I love Elliott’s for Pets. Not only are their prices reasonable but the staff is amazing. They are always polite, friendly, courteous, and genuinely nice honest people. That is a rare quality these days. When I call to ask about food for my snakes; or other things; they are wonderful. The best prices and the nicest people; what else could you ask for? Elliott’s for Pets, is the best pet store, and if you’re shopping anywhere else; you’re paying too much and getting bad service. Thanks Elliott’s for Pets for being the greatest!!! 5+ stars!

This place is great. They have a great selection on dog food. In fact, the dog food (Orijen) I get is less expensive here than other places, including online.
The staff has always been friendly to me and my little toy aussie.
Love it. Wish I hadn’t moved so far away from it, however, it is relatively on the way to work, so I will continue to make special trips here.

This review is only about their aquarium selection.
Most of their salt water aquariums are empty and those that have something in them are minimally stocked.
Their freshwater selection is much bigger but most of their containers have multiple dead fish. Some of the carcasses look weeks old, some are only bones. The live fish looked healthy enough but some looked sick.
Their aquatic plant selection is mediocre at best and most of their stock was in poor health.

Great Selection of High Quality pet products.
Since moving to Riverside, we have been looking for a good local pet store and have found it in Elliott’s.

They have the best price on my dogs Canidae dog food in the IE.
They also have a wide variety of pet supplies for all other animals.
The only bummer is that they don’t deliver!!!

Best pet store in riverside. Kraig is very knowledgeable and very friendly. They have a great selection of animals at a very good price. I buy all my animals food there and couldn’t be happier. Thanks Elliot’s!!!

5 ghost shrimps for $ 1
20 crickets for $ 1
Box red eared turtles are $ 19.99
Mice are snake food I assume? Yeah, I assume right. Snake food. Catch yourself n put in a bag to be rung up.
They have a fair selection of tropical fish, bettas and reptiles (snakes n lizards)… More than some other privately owned pet shops.
