The owner has given me some fantastic advice in raising my babies (crested gecko and a bearded dragon). I got my reptiles from big box pet stores and they both were ill when I got them. Her advice helped me through and I've got beautiful healthy (not so)babies now.
PLEASE SUPPORT THIS STORE IT IS FANTASTIC.
They had a clearance box that I found my dogs favorite toy in (he destroyed the last one) and was able to snag them up for a great price! Here he is enjoying his new toys!
What you'll find at Super Pets: odd hours and a dusty collection of pet supplies. But what you'll also find is a collection of hand fed birds, parrots that bribe you for head scratches, and some really actively, awesome reptiles, mice, and chinchillas.
I always come here for supplied and will be buying a skink from here. I've read reviews saying it's overcrowded- yes the store is crowded but the animals are very well taken care of. The owner (and only person who works there) loves animals and they all receive maximum love and care.
Really glad they're now out of business. You people are why people shouldn't buy rabbits at crappy strip-mall pet stores. You never knew anything about them and you helped perpetuate garage breeders. Bye. Seeya. Good luck in your next amateurish adventure. Next time, stick to selling fish.
I came here on the recommendation of a family member and it did not disappoint! They have everything you can image and a great aquarium/bird sections as well.
I finally climbed over enough of the mess to find a bag of Timothy Hay, and when I got to the register, I asked Not-Dolly-Parton how much the baby rats were, in hopes that I could save one or two of them from this hell. She very rudely asked me if that was what I REALLY came in to do, and I told her "Of course not," but she didn't seem to believe me. I bought the hay and left, and though it seemed to be a brand new package, the chinchilla I was fostering wouldn't eat a bite. Looking back, the hay might have been past its prime. I really and truly hope animal welfare services get their hands on this place and SHUT IT DOWN.
In the world of pet stores that only sell overweight bags of dog food, it's awesome that Super Pets still exists.
Most of her supplies also BEAT AMAZON PRICES. So I get to support small business and save money. How perfect.
Pro-tip: Call ahead, often times the shop owner (a lady) will close down the store for doctors appointments.
I wish I could give this store fewer stars. My first and last visit to this place was very brief, but dreadful. There is a long story involved in this, but the short version is that I was fostering a chinchilla for a few days, and she needed some Timothy Hay. This was the closest pet store to me at the time, and it was a pure stroke of luck that I saw it. Upon entering the store, I noticed how dark and crowded it was. It had a real animal-hoarder vibe to it. The walls were gray, there were products and papers all over the floor, with a distinct path carved out of the mess so customers could get around the store. The lady behind the counter (who I could only assume was the owner), was sitting there, making no effort to do much of anything (much less clean the store) and was smacking away at her chewing gum. Now, I'm not usually one to judge on looks, but hers was very unprofessional, and her outfit definitely said "I'd rather wear an animal than care for one". Due to her incredibly tight pink top, her makeup and 80's style hairdo, she only appears in my mind as a ditzy Dolly Parton knock-off. I decided to look around for the hay nonetheless, and I began exploring the store. I was horrified. I've never seen so many animals crammed into such a tiny space. All the rats were housed together (male and female) and they were breeding like crazy. There had to be at least 30 babies in there! The cages didn't look very clean either. The poor little rats were sneezing, and I couldn't help but think they wouldn't last long in those conditions. I didn't take a good look, but I remember thinking that the lizard cages looked very small and dirty too. I never got to look at the birds, but based on the other reviews here, I'm glad I didn't see that. The chinchillas (while they have lovely coloring), were all crammed in one completely wire cage as well. Anyone who's ever owned a small animal knows that wire-bottomed cages aren't good for their feet!
In the land of big-boxed pets, rare are the times you come across a local pet store with the iconic hand written "feel free to pet, but they may bite!" sign in front of bird cages - but surprisingly, Super Pets is still holdin' down the old meaning of "let's go to the pet store!"
The big box stores usually focus more on the cats and dogs, but Super Pets really focuses on all the other small animals out there.
