Really nice pet store! Bought a betta from them, seems very healthy and active. It's nice to see they keep them in bigger tanks than the tiny cup most places keep them in.

Was kinda let down by this place. I went in to buy a pet for my kid. I wanted to go-to a mom and pop shop as in sure they're struggling a lot more that the bigger pet stores. I hadn't got two feet into the store when they let me know that they were closing in the next few minutes. I wouldn't mind but i rang ahead to make sure they had what i wanted. I needed more time than 5 minutes to let my daughter choose exactly which one she wanted. I'd like to give them another shot but i was really put off by this.

I will always be grateful to this store for treating me with so much compassion when I came in a little over five years ago. I found an injured and very sick kitten in my driveway. I needed a cage to keep her in because her pelvis was broken and she was not supposed to move around much. It was not clear if she would survive the upcoming weeks. I came to this store and explained the situation. It was an emotional situation and I was very fragile. The woman (owner?) found a perfect cage for her and sold it to me at a discount because I was rescuing the kitten, and was so encouraging and sweet to me at a very difficult time. She pulled through and is a happy and healthy 5 year old! She loves her cage to this day!

My new go to Local Fish Store. Purchased some hardscape and fish here multiple times. You can tell that these owners genuinely care about their fish. Very knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommend

Questions & Answers

do you sell dogs

Jackie Chu | Aug 24, 2020
Beya Alcaraz | Aug 24, 2020

No--Due to a new California law, you won't be able to find any dogs, cats, or rabbits in pet stores (unless through rescue organizations). You'll have to find one from a rescue/shelter or a private breeder!

My ex wife has a couple of turtles. She has become disappointed with the place the trims their beaks and nails, etc. Does this place provide quality care specific to turtles?

MD J. | Aug 24, 2021

We do not trim beaks, but do trim nails! Please call 415-564-6482 to schedule a time to come in--our groomers have inconsistent schedules and are only here are certain days.

Pythons and boas are illegal to sell in San Francisco, and can only be found outside the city (perhaps try The East Bay Vivarium).
