Best pet stores in Indianapolis: find options near you

Amanda was very helpful to my husband today talking about his new freshwater 20 gallon tank! We are doing a fishless cycle right now and eventually will get fish from here. We are excited and he’s visited maybe multiple times a day since buying his tank. We are so grateful that this store is 2 minutes from our house and that he can get all of the expert help he needs!

I have been in multiple times just to look around and today I decided to finally buy something. They always have a beautiful assortment of plants for nice prices so I picked up a marble queen pothos, as well as a betta (he is BEAUTIFUL) He is so active and you can tell he was loved and cared for. (they even name their bettas which I think is adorable) I always have a great experience when I come in!

The staff at The Reef are outstanding, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They were even happy to help with questions/suggestions over the phone and responded to inquiries on social media. The store has a massive selection of freshwater and saltwater fish and the accessories, food, treatments etc that you will need. All of the tanks are very clean and the animals seem very healthy. Ownership cares about customer service and provided support within 24 hours. Looking forward to doing continued business with a long-standing local company.

Easily the best, most knowledgeable, and cleanest aquarium store in Indianapolis. The selection is unmatched. Literally. In both aquatic plants and fish alike. If there’s a fish you can’t find anywhere else, or a plant odds are they sell it here for a very reasonable price. The employees are very happy to see repeat customers here too which is very nice! I’ve never had a bad interaction with any of the employees. I live 30+ minutes away and consistently come back here. They are easily the best fish store in Indianapolis.

I truly wouldn’t recommend coming to this establishment just based off of how the employees treat their customers. You could be very knowledgeable on what you want, have your set up acclimated and good to go. YET, they still talk to you as if you are a toddler. PLEASE SAVE YOUR TIME AND GO TO FISH HAPPENS, 5575 Elmwood Ave

United States, they treated me as family. Showed Tyler my set up and he made great recommendations on anything I needed. Also saved me a lot money!

This store is about an hour from home, and I wanted to check it out while we were in town. Great selection and staff asked us many times if we needed help. Picked up some water lettuce. Looking forward to coming back for some fishy friends and shrimp after I get my tank fully cycled. Store was clean and had a great selection of fish and plants.

I’m very happy I stopped here! They had so many plant, snail, and shrimp options. Andrew helped us and not only was he knowledgeable, but you can tell he has a genuine appreciation/love for aquatic animals. We will definitely be back!

Calista grooms our Dalmatian puppy and we will not be going anywhere else! Our dog always comes home smelling so good and is so soft! They do such an amazing job here. Prices are amazing as well! It’s hard to find someone you trust, so I’m glad I don’t have to worry about that! I just drop her off and run my errands until she’s ready. Always such a great experience!

We take our Rocky here for grooming. Ally is the best! She’s the only person we trust and he trusts her as well. It’s always clean, the staff is knowledgeable and the prices are great. Large selection of products too.

Amazing store and their grooming deals are top notch!!! Just a lovely experience in every sense of the word! The environment is very relaxed and peaceful! Ps-ask for the amazing groomer Bekah if your pup has anxiety!

Not very happy. First time using them to get my Shih Tzu groomed. Wanted face rounded didn’t happen, and tail not cut, didn’t happen! Cut her tail short and face not rounded. Paid $70 and Alley didn’t mention she cut her paw/toenail. Phoebe was bleeding! I chose Pet Supplies because they were closer than our other groomer and very disappointed. Also, blow drying was included in the price and she said she didn’t blow dry her just let her sit in the crate. Phoebe is home licking her paw she is in pain. Might need to take her to the vet to get checked out! Upset with this whole experience!

Love this particular store. They are the only store to have my babies food. Everytime I go in their staff are friendly and accommodating. I drive from Avon to get my babies food, litter etc.

Had our dog groomed here by a girl named Maxx and it was a terrible experience. Pretty sure I paid $60 for absolutely nothing, our pup didn’t look any different than when we dropped him off nor did he smell any better. Additionally, I asked her to outline his legs and tail and trim around the ears, even paid extra and clearly it was not done. It was late in the evening and I had one of my young daughters with me so we weren’t up for staying and arguing but we definitely will not be returning here…ever.

Excelente tienda para mascotas, el trato es especial y amigable. Encontré buenos precios y bien surtida. Hacen grooming a buen costo // Excellent pet store, with special and friendly service. I found good prices and a well-stocked store. They offer grooming services at a reasonable price.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could as far as grooming goes. I paid $138 for the full work up. This included a dental cleaning, earring cleaning, sanitary trim, nail cut, paw pads trimmed. While in the salon to pick her up, it was incredibly loud. There were dogs barking in the back, and it was very overwhelming. With that being said, I chose not to look her over when I got her back, which now I regret. The lady who groomed her was also late, so they had her longer than we were expecting. When we got home, I noticed her small mat by her ear was still there. I know she can be iffy when it comes to her ears, so I let that slide. THEN I realized that there was no way her teeth were brushed, her nails are the exact same as when I dropped her off, she definitely did not have her ears cleaned, and is still shedding like crazy. I’m not sure what shampoo is used, but she doesn’t smell good like she does after being groomed by other places. I understand dogs can be difficult to work with, but I don’t think it’s fair that I paid for these non existent services I was told I was receiving. I called the store back, and the store manager has already left for the day. I left my name and number, and am expecting a call back in the morning. This is absolutely insane. We were so excited for her to have her “spa” day, just to get horrible results. We will NOT be returning, and I’m hoping to receive at least our money from the upgrade back. If not, I will be reaching out to corporate because this is not okay. I read the reviews on the app before hand, and those were very promising. I wish I read the Google reviews before, because we would’ve not ever dropped her off there. I’m sure the app only highlights positive reviews, and I should’ve known better. I’m absolutely shocked. It seems to me that this place lacks proper training in the groomer salon, or just do not care about their quality of work.

Everyone was really nice. It’s just I wasn’t able to really get what I wanted because it was too much so I got what I could and it doesn’t work so I have to bring it back. I have the receipt but overall it was OK.

I was ready to check out and lane 2 and 3 were open. Someone was already at lane 2 so I went over to lane 3 and the employee there said “i’m not open, sorry” in such a rude tone and just brushed me off. I didn’t catch her name but he had very color hair and a septum piercing. I even said hi in a very nice tone when I was approaching her. The light was still on for lane 3 so I thought it was open. If it’s not then turn off the light it’s not that hard to flip a switch.

Went in to buy an aquarium for my son’s first birthday. I picked out the tank, some decor, and gravel. Had a question about what to use to test and treat the water, so I found an associate to ask about it. She informed me it wasn’t her area and I needed to find the person there. I said there wasn’t anyone there, so she paged for someone and told me to wait at the podium. I waited for 10 minutes while watching the two other employees chatting up front before deciding to take my business elsewhere. I refuse to spend 300$+ at businesses that won’t help customers.

Brought our dog here to be groomed a few times and always satisfied. This time we were told it would be an hour for a bath a nail grind. 2 hours later, bath was half assed and nails weren’t done. They said he was “too difficult.” There has never been a problem with someone doing his nails so I ask, what were they doing for 2 hours. Their response was that he was in holding…holding?! How DARE they charge us not only for a squirt with a hose that they call a “bath” and not even attempt to do his nails. I will NEVER bring my pet here again and I will never let any other pet owner bring their animal here. Disgraceful!

A Cat walked into my garage, from my conversation with friends and family I have been adopted. Which means I needed to get set up to share my home with a cat. Never had a cat, but it’s not bad.
The folks at Pets Mart on 31 So.,Indianapolis, ln were both amused and helpful with the feed and other required items needed to sustain the small critters life.
I don’t know what the outcome for me or the cat will be. But thanks to PetsMart I at least stand a chance.

I give 2 stars because I was late for grooming appontment and they still worked me in which was awesome. However they shaved her down including the tail saying that was all they could do. My husband had thoroughly brushed her a few days prior and it was fine. Do not use PetSmart. All of their locations have failed me except for the north side location. I recommend Petco

I am so pleased, thrilled and in love with this location and their staff! I reserved the community room for my dog’s birthday party. When I went back to take pictures of the setup, they explained what everything would look like. The room was cleared and clean and they made goodie bags for all the guests(including a cat lol)…and a special one for the birthday boy!!! The staff checked in to see if there was anything we needed often! This lace truly is a caring, neighborhood pet store and now that I know the “plus” has to mean the over the top service that you’ll get, plus smiles and plus the eagerness they have to serve! Thank you all so much! My little fellas birthday was a hit and that’s certainly thanks to you!

Staff was very helpful! There was a good selection of items. They were out of stock of the cat food I wanted an a nice employee helped suggest a safe and similar alternative for my cat! I also found my cats new favorite wet food here. They are very nice, clean, and there was a cute dog someone brought in! Best experience!

Excellent experience today! All team members were super helpful and nice. Harriet signed me up for their program and was a delight. Love this location, love the people 🙂

Fui por una cama para mi gato, no hablan español pero oye con ingles básico cualquiera te puede entender, y había una cama que le encanta a mi gato, ahi compre su arena osea su baño, y le encanta, me pidieron el numero y no supe porque no pasaban nuestros números el mio y el de mi mama. Según para dar descuentos creo que entendí pero, no logramos comprender porque no paso.

Great service & always feel like I’m getting a fair price! Love the neighborhood feel of Broadripple PSP! Been a loyal customer for years!

I come here as they’re one of the few places that sells Taste of the Wild dog food. These places, pet supplies plus, are just like Petco and petsmart. They sell all sorts of pet supplies, they also have a selection of like you know mice and hamsters, and all of the niche dog treats

I am SO grateful that Pet Supplies Plus offers home delivery. Currently with a sprained ankle, I am reluctant to go out. I ordered cat food in the morning and it was delivered the same day! AAAAA+++++

I was pleasantly surprised to find that they carry chicken feed, especially after calling around to several local stores with no luck. Nowhere else within a 30-minute drive had any in stock—or they simply don’t carry it—so I truly appreciated that this store did. It saved me a great deal of time and hassle.

I also hope to see their livestock selection continue to grow in the future, as it would save me from having to travel out of my way.

The associates were very kind and helpful. One employee even went above and beyond by carrying a 40-pound bag of chicken feed to my car and placing it in my trunk. That small act of kindness meant a lot to me—especially since I recently had neck surgery, something he wasn’t even aware of. His thoughtfulness was deeply appreciated.

I really enjoy coming here for my Rocko. He loves the beef cheeks, pig ears and snouts. The staff is really nice too

I always come here for my pet’s food…from my guinea, to my chinchilla, and my staffy that loves those decorated treats in the case. The cbd tincture works for my dog as well. But today they were celebrating their 36th Anniversary and I was able to get my dog micro-chipped for $10! As well as many discounts on the items in the store. Just want to say I appreciate you guys and I will continue to shop with your location!

First of all the staff were VERY friendly, very welcoming, and very happy to help if I had any questions. Secondly the store was very clean and well organized, and thirdly the prices are absolutely un beatable I spent roughly between 35-50 dollars less then what I would have at a big chain retailer I had never been here before and I was in town visiting some family with my pup and fiancée. I like to shop from smaller businesses for a multitude of reasons and often that means spending a little more sometimes which I don’t mind at all in doing so! However to see them have such killer deals and so many options to choose from for my pup was incredible! I believe my girl would also like to give these wonderful humans two paws up! She is currently demolishing her first prize of the enrichment item haul 10/10 would definitely recommend and will definitely be back in the future!

Just went here for the first time, and we all loved it. Our pup just lost her brother of 7 years this week, and she’s been struggling to adjust. We thought we’d try a new place to help her have her own memories. Access from the Pike was easy. It’s handicap accessible. They have tons of great treats, foods, toys, etc. for dogs, cats, birds, etc. The staff was wonderful, helpful, and knowledgeable. We recommend them for your pet supply needs for sure. Our pup left with a nice new jacket, sweater, some treats, and a new bone. She loves the sweater so much, we took the tag of to pay because she didn’t want to take it off.

The store was awesome! We drove from the other side of town to visit and felt like they thought we were going to steal something . I did catch them watching us around the corner at least once. My husband wanted to leave but stayed for me. We still spent $50. It’ll be hard to get my husband back and it’s far to go by myself.

Nice little pet store. They have a great selection of pet food. I even wanted a bird feeder for the backyard and the owner gave me 30% off of it! I would highly recommend this place.

What an amazing company! All healthy options! I have 2 ferrets and have been struggling to find food thats actually healthy for them! They have a lot that needs to go into their diet and are carnivores! So many companies put toxic things into ferrets recipes! Raw paws is affordable and healthy. You get a big bag of food! Thank you so much for taking care of my fur babies.

I ordered roughly $1600 in RAW PMR for my dog with severe food allergies. I received 3 of the 4 boxes on a Friday all in perfect condition all completely intact meat FROZEN, the 4th box was separated in transport by the transporter company. It arrived SEVERELY damaged and all meat bad. I contacted the company and that was on Saturday which was out of business hours. They immediately called me Monday morning when they opened up. They verified the box was damaged and the product was BAD. They reissued the fourth boxes contents to me and it arrived completely frozen NO issues!!! This company is wonderful, their food is wonderful! My dog had had absolutely no reactions to it and it’s one of the only complete diet PMR on the market that’s actually worth purchasing. I’m not a forever customer! My dog and I both thank you, I have spent thousands of dollars in vet bills and allergen testing and we know the triggers and you guys have saved my dog from anymore treatment with the vet! THANK YOU ☺️

Very happy with the product and service. Ordering is easy, shipping is quick. My previous vendor only shipped one day a week, Raw Paws ships every day. This is a big plus for me. I live is South Florida and during this very hot summer, the food arrives in 2 days and is still frozen or at least very chilled.

I started the raw meat diet for my two dachshunds about 4 months ago. I’m very pleased with the customer service and delivery process. I couldn’t get one of my dogs to eat the processed dry dog food, but now she begs for more. Also noticed that their coats seem to be shinnier and softer. One of them had terrible breathe and now he just has dog breathe. I didn’t realize how much sugar was in dry dog food and it was literally rooting my dog’s teeth. For reference if you want to order for small dogs. My two 10-15 lb dogs eat about 20 lbs per month. Love this company and the food for my dogs. They are very happy dogs.

This company Raw Paws is fantastic company! Great products. Healthy alternatives to other places. My dog is diabetic and they offer many low and no carb foods and treats that I had trouble finding elsewhere. Ive ordered many times and plan to continue! Excellent customer service as well!!

This company is amazing. We switched from kibble after our rescue dog had some health issues and we wanted to feed her what she was meant to be eating! They have amazing customer service and the auto ship is amazing. We moved from Indiana to WI and haven’t had any issues. They are amazing!!!! Do your pet a favor and switch to raw food.

Update: Started an autoship. Had my 1st delivery on 9/5 and set it for a 4 month delivery schedule. 4 days later they are trying to send another full shipment. Called to cancel but no one answers the phones. Sent an email and still waiting for a response. I would not suggest starting a subscription because they don’t go by what you ask for at all. How do you confuse 4 months with 4 days???

Very nice place to get a plecostomus fish. A suckered fish for cleaning your fish tanks. The staff was so friendly and kind. He knew exactly what I was looking for. The tanks also looked very well keep. Got the fish I pointed out and was done in just a few minutes.
It was nice visiting with him and talking about fish and tanks. A++

Bryce, Christian, Nate, and Will are great! We learned so much about the fish and they were knowledgeable about the medicine my kitten needed. I’m so thankful we can come here ! And there’s a cool fish in the back with. Bite taken out of it!

This is 1 of 3 fish that all got epistylis 1 day after the ” 7 day warranty” the only fish in the tank. We went back to ask for advice and no one knew anything. It turned into my husband and I educating the employee on the actually disease and was finally told ” I don’t know man, just turn the temp up.” Thanks for the great advice. He died this morning after relentless treatment and care. I should have known better considering the condition of all the reptiles that never change, living in horrible conditions. Same for the fishers location. Puppy that never leave a square box.. animals with no water. Do better. Hire people with knowledge of the animals they are caring for.

I love my cookie she’s a Guinea pig I love this uncle bills when I went over there to go pick out a pet I seen her and wanted her and I did not know how to take care of her tho but the employees are so nice and they told me everything I need to know and help me chose what to buy for her and even showed me a guinea pig kit with a cage and food and stuff it was a amazing

Me and my boyfriend went to this uncle bills to adopt a dog we were super excited, we saw 2 dogs that we had our eyes on, we saw an employee and were going to ask to take one out she was in a red shirt a dark skin lady with a red hair covering on and glasses around 50s-60s. As we walked up to her she immediately walked away and did not acknowledge us she immediately started chatting with her co worker, we stood for a couple minutes waiting on her till she turned around and walked right past us giving us a dirty look. We followed her and asked to take a dog out she immediately said in a mean tone “you got to be 18” I said yes we both are above , she dosent say anything and then handed us a form to sign, I signed and we got the first dog out, the first dog was biting super hard and was non stop and they saw we were getting nervous because the dog was growling and biting we called her over and asked to pick out a different dog she was very very rude wanted nothing to do with us I asked again to take out another dog, she goes to grab the dog and we hear it squeal super loud and noticed she was grabbing onto its back skin and pulling it, the dog seemed very hurt and scared, we played with the dog and loved him but we decided to go elsewhere because the customer service was so bad, we ask to put him up and she goes to try to grab the dog, the dog was immediately scared backing up, ears back tail tucked, which seemed abnormal because the dog had no issue with us picking him up and was super playful and sweet she was very very aggressive handling the dogs to the point they were scared of her terrible terrible experience she should be fired.

Low inventory , had to find help never greeted, fish store worker was helpful but not very knowledgable. I guess it is what it is , I wouldn’t recommend buying a pet from there less it’s a fish. Too many dogs n cats need homes to pay top prices for those poor animals. Eastside is needing help bad. I’m thankful we have a pet store to buy over priced fish.

Been a while since we have gone to this location since previous experiences were “just ok”. Was a bit bummed that they didn’t have salt water tanks, but I understood when they said they didn’t sell great there

Wow ..this location has improved, clean, better lighting, and a knowledgeable team. Had the water filter I needed and they were able to talk about the perks of different systems.

Great job on the improvements and frosting a good team of employees

Amazing deals and prices, but the welfare of their fish is a low priority for this location. Several betas were floating dead, and this one particularly had been neglected so long it was decaying in its cup. Ive been a customer for a long time, but i dont think I’ll come back for a long time. The staff use to care a lot more. Its heartbreaking to see the standards are falling.

Received email for 30% off any one item.

Great….needed advantage II ex large dog 6 pack

This stores price…$89!!!! WHAT????

it’s not that much ANYWHERE ELSE

So with the big discount, it came out to be exactly the price everywhere Else

WILL NOT BE GOING TO ANY PSP STORES IN THE FUTURE

What a scam

Always fast and accurate. The employees are also very nice and helpful. Once I was runing late to pick up my order, the store was about to closed, I called them and the guy said no worries we wait for you, I was only a couple minutes away but still appreciated the gesture.

I visited this location on 5/15. The two sales representatives that helped me were very kind and knowledgeable. I had just found an abandoned kitten and needed guidance about fostering her in terms of pet supplies. First we approximated the age of the kitten (who I brought in a carrier) by looking at her size and teeth. They helped me find the right kitten formula, a small litter box, and gave me samples of cat food. I don’t remember the employee’s names, but they were great! This was my first time at your store, and their customer service is what will bring me back! I need to come get some toys now!

This store always has the specific food my dog eats. It’s refrigerated and not once have I gone in for his food only to find the fridge is down and no food available for my dog. They also carry a large variety of dog food along with many of the premium brands that are sometimes more difficult to find. I did make an account on their app and receive weekly coupons for the items I buy. It’s easy to earn points that help defray the cost of things I need for my dog.

Amber is very knowledgeable and has helped me out tremendously getting my enclosures together for my Bearded Dragon and Leopard Gecko. She needs a raise and a promotion ASAP!!!!!

They had what I wanted. New leash. Training collar. It was a bit cheaper here. I had planned on ordering this online but grabbed it at comparable price. And it looks better than the one on ebay. I would have rated this place a 3 but I’m actually pleased so I decided to write a review.
Thanks pet supplies plus!

Highly recommend this as our favorite pet place! My two dogs and I adore this store and all the staff!!! . Knowledgeable, friendly, wide selection—all the pets and treats for Chance & Journey! We have found great advice and support regarding food, leashes, treats, collars, chewies and most recently shampoo for skin issues. They have kangaroos bites, which are 100% kangaroo and crunchy to consume, which helps Chance on his restricted diet and large appetite! Grateful

Great place! Customer service above and beyond. curbside pick up is so Convenient Shout out to the two young men with the name of Tim and also for Sarah.

We went to Hollywood feed to get our three year old pups nails clipped. And to buy him a new collar. The people who work there seem to move dogs which goes a long way with me. The collar was reasonably priced but while waiting for the groomer my husband noticed an $80 bad of dogfood. That’s a bit much for us.

My FAVORITE pet supply store! I always check for new stock among the whimsically patterned collars and leashes (made from the leftover fabric they use for the lux dog beds). I have 3 collars and 2 leashes. The fabric is as durable as it is adorable! The staff is always friendly and helpful. I pick up my dogs favorite bones and there is always at least one new toy we have to have! There is a fantastic food selection for my picky girl to try. I always look forward to stopping in to shop for my fur baby. ❤️

Zack is always so helpful and very knowledgeable. I love the dog food selection for my picky Chihuahua. Zack helped me with learning that I needed to add more variety to keep her interested. I use the same products, just different flavors!

I’m so glad I discovered Hollywood Feed. Not only do they have high quality food, but the prices are very reasonable. But above that, every time I go in, the staff is so helpful and knowledgeable. They have a genuine love for animals and it shows. Well done

I was buying kitty litter made from pecan shells for the first time. I had been told previously by friends that a cat who grew up with clay litter will never use anything else. The person at Hollywood explained how to transition a cat from clay to something else. This person was very, very helpful. Nice person, too. Friendly.

Transition, successful!

Awesome experience. Bobby was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable with any questions I had. He even offered to order anything I may want that they didn’t carry. The fish selection was amazing. They had more birds than your local Petco/PetSmart as well as small animals and reptiles. They had puppies as well and a shop cat that was very social. Overall a wonderful experience.

This was a very nice store, they had a lot of animals to look at as far as puppies and fish go. The best uncle bills is the one one Carmel/zionsville off 421.

This is probably the best Uncle Bill’s ive seen. It is extremely clean and while I was there I saw employees actively taking care of the hamster enclosures. The fish tanks all looked well kept. The staff that I had to interact with were kind as well and seemed to care about their job.

Warehouse sized store, filled mostly with pet supplies, but also some animals for sale, too: puppies; parrots and parakeets; rabbits; snakes, lizards, turtles, and other reptiles; and fish.

The only “cheap” dog food seemed to be Pedigree in a 44 lb bag. Everything else seemed to be more premium brands, several times that price per unit of weight.

★★★☆☆ Needs More Bird Variety

Uncle Bill’s is a decent pet store, but when it comes to birds, the selection is really limited. They mostly have cockatiels and those common green parrots, but not much else. I wish they would stock more variety, like diamond doves or other types of doves and unique birds. It would make the store more interesting for bird lovers looking for something different.

To see the animals at Uncle Bills pet center makes us happy. The staff is very helpful.

They are very nice and have variation of things for pets just make sure to keep a eye on the prices what it might say on the shelf isn’t alway the prices
