Jack’s Pets

I’ve been to Jacks various times and have been given an average experience every time I go. My big problem is that it’s expensive. Petsmart knock Jacks out of the water when it comes to price, but Jacks beats Petsmart in service to get fish. I personally like cheaper items, so I go to Petsmart. However, both stores give out 2 week «life insurance» on the fish you purchase. I have however seen a crawfish out of its tank once at Jacks! Also, Jacks employees that I asked some species and fish questions was very knowledgeable about everything. I like Jack’s because it is a clean and friendly environment.

Gonna knock off a star here for comments about the backyard breeders, not something you want to deal with. But the staff has always been very courteous and respectful to me whenever I’m in this location. They are also very knowledgeable and eager to divulge what they know to beginning aquarium hobbyists. It smells like a typical pet store and I like their assortment of tropical fish.
Not sure how a homeless person outside is indicative of their business but to each their own, I guess.

I want to say this pet store smell like animal that haven’t been clean. hehe. price for item is pricey than others pet store.

I know petstores are suppose to stink and all but this one I couldn’t take It it was very bad. They have one bitchy manager who looks like she should work at gas station
. I actually bought couple if fishes and I asked if there’s a guarantee for the fishes and they said «we guarantee 14 day… and blah blah but when I actually had dead fish. The lady couldn’t take it because apparently it was my fault that it died and they couldn’t do anything about it. So I have never seen any other store who lies about their policy. The place is also crowded and EVERYTHING is expensive it’s def a rip off if you compare it to Petsmart. I definitely don’t recommend this shitty place AT

My betta looked lonely so I was under the impression it needed a friend. Upon arriving at this location I was greeted by a homeless man nestled in a corner by a trashcan, definitely not in the best part of town. The employees lacked attention to their customers and I had to ask for the same fish three different times. I ended up deciding on an african frog and a pleco plecostomus (a.k.a a suckerfish). The highly tattooed and bitchy employee proceeded to ask me what fish I had currently resided in the tank and how large it was, followed by telling me my betta would eat my frog and all my fish would die. I know better than that because I’ve had an african frog before so I decided to purchase them despite her words.
After spending almost $ 15 I didn’t get a «have a goodnight» but instead was told «I can’t guarantee your fish will live». A statement like that makes me question what kind of intentions this pet store really has. It could be looked at in two senses. Are the fish not going to live because they’re sickly or are they going to die because the employee thinks I lack the proper environment for them? Anyways they’re doing fine and I will be doing any future fish shopping elsewhere.

It’s a typical Jack’s petstore. Not really much to write home about. The animals they offer are in better health now than 10 years ago, but still come from backyard breeders.

Good size Jack’s. Nothing disappointing or exciting about it.
