Oceans of Pets

After searching for so long this summer to try and find a ball python that wasn’t flighty or skittish, I happened upon this store’s Tumblr and saw that they had the morph and sex that I wanted. I drove an hour and a half to get to this store, to be welcomed to a beautiful, huge, and wonderfully-​attituded staff. The woman that helped was incredibly knowledgeable and very upfront with her assessment, advice, and thoughts of the snake. I was a little suspicious at first, thinking that she just wanted me to take the thing home, but this snake is seriously one of the best I’ve ever owned and I’ve had her for 5 days and can already walk around with her on my neck. This place treats their animals –and people– wonderfully and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to buy both pets and supplies.

This is one of the better of the aquarium stores I’ve been to. Their store is huge! The selection of fish is great too. They have fish a lot of other places don’t. They also have good prices on their fish. The staff is friendly and helpful (most have been there for many years). The tanks are kept clean which is a good sign as well. This place is worth the drive if you’re not a local.

This place is amazing! The staff was polite, professional, and courteous, and the store was impeccably clean for being a pet store.
I got a silver arowana from them, and he is blossoming into a beautiful little boy. They also have a Chinese red arowana in the back in a, what appears to be a 200 gallon tank or so, and it is just gorgeous.
The lady that was helping us out was very knowledgable, and was more than happy to help out in anyway possible. She talked to my boyfriend for about half an hour about different plants that he may or may not be able to keep in a goldfish tank, and gave him some free samples to try before spending a bunch of money one plants doomed to die… lol
Overall, great store!

This store was much better in it’s other location. The new location is very cramped and feels dirty.
We did purchase our kittens from them back in 2007 and they were/​are the best cats anyone could have asked for. However, one had a heard condition and passed away 5 years later, but at no fault of the pet store. The other is going on 7 and still doing well.
I purchased a rabbit from there when I was younger also and it was very healthy, had him for 7 years. However, the second one I purchased had an intestinal problem and died within days.
Prices are higher than Petsmart/​Petco, but it’s not a chain, so I’d expect that. Otherwise, it has a good selection.

I love this place. As soon as you walk in you see the huge blue parrot (yes he does talk). A bit further down is the rabbits, hedgehogs, ferrets, guinea pigs, and chinchillas, and the enclosures they are kept in allow the customers to reach in and interact with the animals. Then there are more birds Wich are so well priced and the birds come with the cage. In the back right corner there is the reptiles Wich I could probably sit there for hours watching all the reptiles, mostly the anoles. There are also a vastly large range of supplies in any category from food to habitats to anything for any type of pet. Finnaly… I saved the best for last «drumroll please»! Its the fish Wich is the oceans of pets holy grail. I littarly would pay to just watch the fish swim there. They have a large array of salt and fresh water species including corals. They even have sea horses. My favorite is the monsterous jaradini arrowana in the back its a behemoth. I gave this place five stars because I love it. This is a place you can bring your whole family as I have done on multiple occasions. I would and have recommend this place to any pet lover.

Ummm, well… my family has a unique little nickname for this establishment. To us, it’s «Oceans of Death.» Not exaggerating, every animal we’ve bought at this place has died an early and horrific death. It is great to have a pet store in Woonsocket, because the closest Petco or PetSmart is in North Attleboro or Providence. But the prices are higher than the chain stores and they don’t offer as many products. They also don’t sell cats/​dogs. They only offer fish (huge assortment of fish, though!), guinea pigs, hamsters, and bunnies. Maybe ferrets, too, I’m not sure.

I ONLY go here for cat food, litter and toys. I like that they offer high-​quality foods like Taste of the Wild, Innova EVO, etc. Their prices are reasonable and I’ve never had any problems with a purchase. I once asked if they had samples of different cat foods so I could see if my cat liked a food before switching it and they told me that no, they don’t get samples anymore, but if you buy a small bag and your cat doesn’t like it, they will accept a return so that was helpful. They offer a much better selection of high quality foods than Petco or any other place around.
