Petland Discounts

This review is mostly orf reptile fans ! I’m not sure how they are with dogs and cats!
I really don’t like writing bad reviews for any business but I this place never helps me. I came here a few times and the staff are all sitting down, eating or just hanging out. The staff never know the answers to my questions and they never have small crickets haha… or worms.
Once I tested out a worker and asked her a question about my bearded dragon, I knew the answer ! The worker lied to me and told me exactly what not to do. Don’t recommend you come here. Sorry

I like this location. The staff are helpful and have been able to answer any question I have asked and I’ve hit them with questions from dog food and care, purchasing goldfish and food, to feeding a frog, my home is a mini zoo.
Employees are a very laid back but it’s a pet store I would not expect them to be running around the place too much. They are friendly, joke around with you, give good recommendations of what they know and they get you in and out.
Great selection of products for various pets. The shelves are well stocked and if for any reason you don’t see something they simply go check for you in the stock room. No fuss about it.
I enjoy shopping this location.

This is the only place in my neighborhood that sells the brands of cat food and litter that I use, and cheaper than the nearest target, too. I can only speak to that because I don’t go past the cat aisle, but it’s always organized and well stocked. The store is clean and the employees are friendly.

This is an excellent pet store. My daughter and I go here twice a week and always experience friendly help. The staff is what keeps us wanting to return because we always feel welcome. Even the times that we are not their to purchase anything, every staff member has taken the time to answer our questions and show us the animals. It was clear that the staff cares about the animals in the store and always provides us with good information. When we are in the store, we look at every animal, including all of the fish and I have never seen anything that looks alarming or careless. The store is clean and well-​stocked. We have three gerbils and will soon have two birds purchsed from this store. Dealing with the transactions has been easy and they have supplied us with everything that we need. It is a great place to have in our neighborhood and If you have pets or want pets, check this place out. I have no complaints about this place and highly recommend it.

I had to bathe my 20 pound, water hating cat. So I went to Petland to acquire cat shampoo. I grabbed the shampoo and went to stand in line, which was completely disorganized. There were 2 people in front of me. I had to wait in line for 15 minutes. There were screaming children running all over the store.
However the shampoo was nice. My cat was successfully bathed, I received no scratches or bites, and now he smells like a shiny new car. (The cat soap smells like car soap)

I can’t speak for other departments in the somewhat cramped store, but in terms of fish, it seemed like I was walking into a fish graveyard! Every tank had either sick fish mixed with healthy fish or dying and dead fish together with somewhat healthy fish. It’s unfortunate that they’re kept together as the healthy fish will just as easily become contaminated. Do the staff make an effort to quarantine? Not in the least bit! I visited this store on multiple occasions and could easily point out the same sick and dying fish every time. I guess they hope that they can dump these poor fish on someone inexperienced so that they can still make some type of money.
Back to the staff for a second; it seems like unless you tackle one of these guys, they won’t exactly go out of their way to assist you. I’ve had multiple occasions where I would be looking into a tank or two and an associate would walk right passed me without even asking if I needed some form of assistance. I find it quite annoying at times when I actually decide to save one of these poor creatures, that there is no one around to assist me. Btw as a pro tip, do what I do and only buy fish on truck days. I usually pick Wednesday evenings. That way I can somewhat guarantee that I’m getting a new, MAYBE healthy fish that hasn’t been subjected to the poor tank conditions the other fishes have.

looks like they have a good amount of cat and dog supplies but half the reptiles looked very ill, found it upsetting.

Petland is a good place to stock up on items when you can’t make it to your regular pet store. The prices are higher than the chain places, but they carry the World’s Best cat litter (that really is the name and yes it really is the best) and the Iams food that my fluffy friend likes. Within walking distance from the Nostrand Avenue A/​C and the Franklin Avenue C subway stops. The store is also much larger than you’d expect, and they carry a lot of products.

Simply terrifying. The staff were very undereducated.
The aquatic section was the worst. Handfuls of dead fish. I even heard a customer complain about the dead fish and ask why they were not removed the employee replied that they still sell them.
Fish with no eyes and fish with ich.

The business was what I expected, located on Fulton and Bedford, I don’t know what neighborhood you would consider that in… Perhaps right outside of Bedford-​Stuyvesant?
Well anyway, I was able to walk right in, to a clean store, walk right to the dog isle and find my puppy food
Unfortunately, although they had the brand I was looking for: nutro ultra, small breed puppy food wasn’t in stock, quite frankly there was no space for it so I’m quite sure they don’t even carry that particular choice.
Instead I settled with a different, well known brand that hopefully my little pup will enjoy (wellness brand: small breed just for puppies)
The workers were… Well ok I guess, not overly helpful or anything of that’s what you’re looking for, there was a woman in there having a heart attack over a missing piece of a fish tank she gave someone as a valentines gift, but in all fairness what type of magicians can help a customer with no box, no receipt and only the credit card used in the sale? This certainly isn’t Macy’s.
They’ve got live pets and all that jazz, I didn’t go back to diddle with any of that, just really went to get the pet food and keep it moving until mrs. FishTank held me up.
They would’ve gotten four stars had they had exactly what I was looking for, and five stars if it was a really nice, bright, more upgraded store.

I don’t have much to say about this location but I was able to get what I needed when I asked and had a prompt check out. Surprisingly, it was pretty crowded when I went (around 6 o’clock).
I used to own fish which I adopted from my job office. I was never really home to take care of them so I gave them to a fish lover through free cycle.
If I ever get another pet, I guess I will come here!

Petland is cool I’ve been going to them for a few years. The service is pretty good and the prices are also pretty decent. The staff is cool they are more laid back here but they will help you if you need it. They will come out and clean your fish tank for an additional fee if you need that too. They actually taught me how to change the water in my fish tank so I have been able to maintain that fish tank for years.
I used to give them my hamster back when this hamster I had had babies but they stopped that. They said those hamsters if they don’t grow up together. In the same cage it becomes a mini WW3. I can believe it because I know how hamsters are. They can be vicious little creatures.
All in all Petland are cool people from the neighborhood and I would keep coming back for more hamster/​fish food.

Decent selection of supplies and foods for all kinds of pets. The staff is generally quite helpful. They don’t have everything, but they have enough and they’re in the neighborhood.

This location of Petland is my go-​to source for kitty care necessities in the neighborhood. It’s nothing fancy, but Petland carries all the major pet food brands (Science Diet, Max Cat, etc.), including some organic varieties. They have a decent selection of toys and other pet accessories. It’s also among the cheapest pet supply stores in town, which is important when you have 3 cats.

I came to this store and had a good experience shopping here. I got almost everything I needed, but things were not all located exactly where I thought they’d be, so I did have to ask for assistance. The staff was helpful.
The store was a little small, and they have an upstairs that seems to be fish-​only. Nothing exceptional, but a good place to get pet necessities!
