Pet Stop

Amazing customer service and top quality pets! The best local pet store someone could have!

Okay, it stinks. That’s the first thing that hits you when you walk in the door – but the second thing? How freakin’ happy these animals look. The pythons? Fat and curious. The fuzzy critters? Happily snuggling. The parrot? Congenially squawking. They also have some neato store animals: marmosets, two giant pythons, even a tortoise they’ll let roam around the shop.
The fish are all in 20 gallon established tanks and they all looked extremely healthy – none of the issues I’ve seen in chain pet stores. The prices are competitive but higher than you’d pay at Petco or Petsmart – keep that in mind. I think it’s worth it.
There’s a 7 day guarantee on the fish, and you’ll have to bring in a water sample. Official policy is to bring in the decedent, but I was told it wasn’t necessary. They’ll also order fish for you, which is a great service. I just don’t know how often I’ll brave the Beacon-​Newburgh Bridge to get here.

Finally! A local pet store, if you know anything about fish, which the commenters below don’t, you’d know how great this place is. Petsmart and petco are it’s only competition and their staff is always uneducated and rude. The pet stop pet shop is a great place to get live fish and food, especially if you are special ordering. I special ordered pufferfish and got them the next day got literally half the price that was listed online. And I didn’t have to pay $ 40 for shipping. Great job guys!

This small shop is great if you’re looking for exotic pets as they seem to have plenty of those. I’m not into exotic or rare pets so I’m not sure if pricing is in line with what those should cost but this place is insanely expensive. I stopped in to get a small gold fish for one of my kids which wasn’t priced to bad but for a small 1 gallon kids tank they wanted a whopping $ 50! I ended up buying the gold fish here and getting a similar 1.5 gallon tank setup at Pet Smart for $ 15.
I want to support small locally owned stores but this place is way over priced.

My first experience with this fish store was when my fish was sick. They gave me the phone number of someone who would come to my house and help me out. Five years later and my wonderful «fish tank guy» is still caring for my fish tank every 6 weeks! Unfortunately that is the best part of this store. It ALWAYS smells bad whenever I walk in and they often don’t have the frozen food I need to feed my fish. I only get it from here because it’s only a few miles from home and I don’t have to worry about it defrosting on the way. I would never consider this as my pet store — merely the place I buy my frozen fish food.
About 4 weeks ago I had a fish tank emergency — the heater died and my fish were freezing. Being so close to home, I headed to The Pet Stop to get a replacement heater. When I told the cashier that I was looking for a heater for my 55 gallon tank she promptly offered me a choice between the heater for a 40 gallon or 70 gallon tank. Ummm I’ll take the larger one thanks! Four weeks later this new heater died. I was very unhappy and will be returning the heater and NOT returning to The Pet Stop and I advise you to do the same.
