The Pet Corner

I came here looking to adopt a dwarf rabbit, since not many other pet stores on the island seemed to have them. I asked the owner if he had any, and he said he was out at the moment because he’s renovating the back room where they stay. I was bummed, but then he gave me a list of pet stores nearby that he suggested we try and look at, and even gave me the number of the guy he gets his rabbits from! The customer service here is awesome, and he really just went above and beyond.

I really like this store. It’s clean, organized and they have the cutest animals that look well taken care of. The people that work there are always friendly and helpful. Even if it’s small, I can find a lot of things for my dog. Food, toys, grooming things, clothes ect. Alot of stuff to spoil my best friend.

We visited this pet store to see what selection they had for birds. Parking was super easy by going to the parking garage for the ward mall. The store selection where this pet store is located is great! Great stop in if you know they have something while you visit other stores and need to make a quick purchase.
The two star review is for a variety of reasons. First, the store had a unclean smell throughout. I have visited many pet stores and smell can be managed, especially with such a small amount of animals for adoption.
Secondly, the staff do not pay you any attention in the world when you walk in. It could be just for this visit but this is what I experienced. I was finally greeted when we were about to leave the store.
Lastly, there were items for sale that were not related to pets at all. It looked like a personal garage sale was going down in the side of the store where the birds are located. This was confusing.
They do seem to have a good selection of items for sale and are a larger space/​store compared to other small pet stores I have been too. I just don’t think that is enough to bring people back.

The customer service was aweful.
My girlfriend and I were interested in buying a puppy but we couldn’t even hold one to see if there was any connection.
We asked to see one of the little guys but the worker told us that «he doesn’t take them out for holding», assuming that we wernt intending to buy when in reality we’ve been to almost all the pet stores on the island looking for the perfect companion.
Horrible vibes In there. I Feel sorry for the animals.

How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie’s for sale
This song always pops up in my head when I see the Pet Corner. The cute little puppies are the first thing you see and GAME OVER! You HAVE to go inside to take a closer look. They get me every time. You can go in and ask to take a closer look, and interact with the puppies, but I wouldn’t do it unless you’re really interested in buying the puppies.
Upon entrance you will see that the store is pretty big and spacious. You are then greeted by very nice staff and if you are lucky, by the stores Parrot as well. He is a beautiful and talkative Eclectus. If he’s in his cage go speak to him. He’s adorable.
They often will have a few birds for sale. And cats as well. In the back of the store they have bunnies, guinea pigs, or chinchillas. Besides them and the Adorable puppies that enticed you in, that is basically all you would find if you’re looking for a new pet. I have to say they take very good care of their animals. They’re always clean and seem to be happy.
The shelves are stocked with a wide arrangement of products for any pet needs you may have. Prices are decent in my opinion, but because they aren’t a chain store they will cost a bit more, but hey support local business.
Overall I would recommend you take a look at the pet corner of you are in the area. Definitely worth your time.

The Pet Corner
This is a clean, clean mall pet store. It is not cluttered in the least. Everything is airy and open and fully lit.
I don’t really think this is a browsing pet store– it is heavy on the dog/​cat clothes with a great open air display of cute puppies/​kittens usually in the windows. I want to see bunnies and other small mammals which they sometimes have in the back side of the store– but lately they have been sold out more often than not.
A few small birds tweet out IRL.
There are not any fish that I have seen.
Again– there are more touristy pet items for more of the tourist window shopping market and the cutest little puppies/​kittens to buy.
Not the pet store for the local living on Honolulu for daily use.

The owners Don and Libby are very friendly. The workers that are there are also friendly and helpful. Without their help and awesome customer service, we would not have a little bundle of furry joy running around me and my boyfriend’s apartment.
When we got our little puppy, Don gave us all the information that was needed in taking care of him. He also gave us advice and when we went the next day in searching for a gate, he unfortunately didn’t have one in stock but recommended us to another local store not to far away from their location. He really took care of us and his staff also do the same every time we go there to purchase things. Their prices are decent on most of the merchandise they sell compared to Petco and they also have a stamp card that once you spend a certain amount, you will get a $ 10 off your next purchase. Not to mention they are a local business, and I for one is all for that.
Overall I really like this pet shop not only because of my little puppy, but for their extensive knowledge and great customer service to all… people and animals!

After a dinner at the Spaghetti Factory or shopping at Ward, I always love stopping by the windows to look at the puppies. They are soooooo cute!
The prices for the dogs are expensive, but probably going rate for those types of dogs. I personally prefer adopting. Walking around the shop, they basically have all of things you would need for your pets.

This is a really nice place. It’s pretty clean for a pet store. The puppy section is cute and always crowded with people admiring them. The staff here is friendly and helpful. I always check out this pet store first.

I only go to this store because they have the rabbit pellets I like. Other than that, the selection is very limited.
The puppies in the window look sick; a miniature dachshund looked almost near death with residue covering its entire eyes. The animals are always sleeping in their own feces, which is also never a good sign. When asked to see pictures of a puppy’s parents, the clerk couldn’t come up with the picture. Then when asked about the breeder’s information, of course, they said it is unavailable. Very very shady.

In reality, I’d probably give this place a 4/​5, but they’re doing a great job restoring the reputation of what came to be known as a puppy mill before it was purchased by the current owners. 5 stars for you guys!
SERVICE: Excellent
With the exception of that new, young girl who doesn’t seem to like animals or know anything about them and gives customers incorrect analyses on why certain mixes have certain traits, the rest of the staff are experts on (at least) dogs. I purchased a puppy from here, and Camille really made sure I knew what I was getting into, that I had the correct supplies, that I understood the puppy’s habits and what to expect.
I brought my coworker in to see the puppy I was getting, and she became instantly attached to the adult dog for adoption sitting in the crate. She asked the owner about the adoption process, and he admitted that he had absolutely no knowledge about the dog. He just hosts him from the Human Society and suggested we contact them with ANY questions. While not knowing much about the dogs, because I’m sure he just sees so many come and go, he did his best to represent the needs of the dog for adoption well.
PRODUCTS: Where… where are they?
They must make all their revenue purely from puppy sales and the occasional «oh snap, I have ZERO supplies for this puppy I just bought.» They have the exact products that pop up on Amazon when searching for supplies, except two or three times the cost. They sell a lot of miniature dogs, but strangely have a toy supplies to accommodate big dogs only, or so it seems. They have a decent amount of cat toys and dog treats, but it’s nowhere close to comparable to a place like Petco (now on Beretania).
But while we’re on the subject of Petco, I have to say again that the service at the Pet Corner is far superior. They provide you with in-​depth answers to questions, or if they can’t, make sure you know where you can find those answers.

Cutest doggies in window display! Also has rabbits, cats and birds. Expensive to buy food and treats there though.

I bought my puppy from here and we love the family that runs this store. Very hard working husband and wife that own this store. I often try to support local small business but it’s a little hard sometimes because they don’t have much of a selection for supplies and food.
The major plus about buying my pup here is that in addition to your pup, they give you a free bag of food that they’ve been feeding him/​her, two cans of wet food, the day of your purchase you get like 15% off everything in their store, they refer you to Kapalama Pet Hospital where they’ve taken your pup since they got him/​her, and the owners are really knowledgeable about the pups they sell as if it were their own.

Without this store, we wouldn’t have gotten to know our annoying little angel: p

LOVE COMING HERE!
when i first got my baby pom, i didnt have anything.
i actually picked up everything for my baby when i came to this place. a one stop shop!
bought his crate, toys, food, grooming, all for a good price.
but when i found out that my baby had a really bad tick problem (mind you, he was only 8 weeks at this time), the owner libby came and helped me. she told me the things i would need, all the medicine, and all the spray for the carpets. yes it took almost a month, but finally got rid of all the ticks thanks to this place! Libby and her employees were so informative, and was always willing to help a new puppy owner. when i ever have a question about my puppy, i would always ask her and she would always help me!
best place to go when you have a puppy/​dog!

I’ve only walked past this store a couple of times and I’ve been careful to not let myself got caught up in the «OMG CUTE PUPPIES IN THE WINDOW» but today, I needed to go inside.
I had to go in and out for some flea/​tick medicine and because I had class in 45 minutes, my visit here had to be quick. Immediately after walking in, a fella greeted me with a «Hey there, how you doing today?» and I asked him «Do you have any advantix stuff?» Hahahaha, I have no idea what I’m looking for when it comes to dog medicines — I can help myself when it comes to human pharmaceuticals, but otherwise, I know nothing!
The guy took me to the counter and asked me how much my dog weighs and I told him, «Uhh… less than a big bag of rice?» LOLOLOL, the guy gave me the goofiest smile and showed me the Advantix II for dogs/​puppies 11 to 20 pounds. He told me how to use it, when to give my dog a bath before and after using it, and also gave me some tips. All while ringing me up. So awesome, so time efficient!
If I ever need any more dog supplies and I’m in the area, I’ll come and stop by here again :) Great shopping experience!

This is a great shop at a great location. I will definitely be back!
Pets:
They were selling my favorite type of dog, so I spent a little longer at the store than usual.
Service:
No one asked me if I needed any help, but that shouldn’t penalized this shop from receiving a bad review. I was able to look around and not be pressured to buy something, so I will definitely be back… hopefully to buy a pet.
Atmosphere:
Like I said earlier, great location to do other types of shopping, eating, and entertaining yourself.
Price:
I firmly believe that if you don’t do research and do a little shopping comparison vs. the competition, you may over pay.
Parking:
Mall parking. Hit or miss.

I think their biggest attraction is the cute puppies in the window.
They even get me, a cat person to gawk at the puppies. They seem to need to stock up on more pet supplies and put out signs with the pet food prices. Science Diet was the only brand with prices. I would probably come back to stare at the puppies but not for pet supplies.

I don’t understand why people are giving this place a bad review… i bought my pom/​japanese spitz from Libby… she is very kind and informative, helpful and polite…
to all the complainers out there who say they wont let you touch/​play the puppies… well, take in to consideration that they only have 1 or 2 shots… they are susceptible to diseases that could make them SICK or KILL them… which results in vet bills for the store… get that through your thick skulls…
pet spot is my favorite place to visit when i go to ward… friendly staff, great selection of merchandise ranging from food to clothing, and i always have a great experience when i go in!

This place gets stars just ’cause they got cute puppies in the window!
However, the small store is not the cleanest place with a low variety of pets — puppies, cats, rabbits and birds.
