Fantastic experience: Amazing service, thank you for going the extra mile - it is much appreciated.
Thank you slpZA for the 5 star review. We are always striving for the best for our customers and hope we can help you out again soon.
Negative experience: No one there seems to know what they are talking about when it comes to most animals, manager has a severe attitude problem, never smiles. Most fish for sale are either crook or have dead fish in the tank with them. NEVER going back.

Fantastic experience: Great selection of fish
Thank you Demonic for the 5 star review. We hope to see you back in store soon. Sheryl
Fantastic experience: Really good pet shop! The staff are friendly & helpful plus knowledgeable and you can see they have a love for animals. One particular staff member (young girl with a grey beanie on) was fantastic she showed so much care into our little dog offered us great advice and variety of sample packs which has helped us find what our fussy dog likes to eat before we bought a large amount. She also suggested the prime 100 salmon roll and removing chicken from his diet, which I can happily say 3 weeks on his skin allergies have gotten so much better very little redness and his hair is even growing back on his feet and legs now. Thanks guys!
Thank you Jessica for your fantastic 5 star review. Lana is who helped you out. So happy that we could be of service to you and your pooch. Hope to see you back in store soon. Sheryl
Fantastic experience: There's lots of adorable pets (mostly guinea pigs, rabbits and fish) it also has good expensive pet food
Thank you Somewhat silence cat for the 5 star review. Your comments are appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and a fun place to take my doggo. Nice selection of products. A bit pricey, although that may be because there are no other places in Albany with anywhere near the range of quality products... at least to my knowledge! Hydrobath is popular (I haven't tried it). On my most recent visit they had very cute kittens for adoption at reasonable price considering vaccinations/ microchips/ flea+worm treatment etc. Excellent place for buying different brands of single protein frozen BARF dog food at reasonable price.
Thank you Erin for the fantastic 5 star review. We would love to see you in store again soon. Sheryl Owner
Fantastic experience: Always really helpful staff
Thank you Jesse for your 5 star review. Our staff are always striving to give great service. So happy that found them helpful. It would be great to see you in store again soon.
Fantastic experience: Very good customer service, staff were very informative and helped me select the right grooming glove for my pug. Thank you to Lana for her help! 10/10
Thank you North for your 5 star review. We strive for customer satisfaction and are happy that Lana could provide.
Positive experience: The staff were very friendly. There was a wide variety of pet supplies. It would have been helpful if there were signs showing where supplies for different types of pets were.
Thank you Janine for your 4 star review. We always strive for 100% customer satisfaction. Just wondering if you could please share how we could do better to achieve 5 stars?
Thank you Janine for taking the time to reply. A great suggestion. We have had signs for where products are for which animal but have had to take down during renovations. We will endevour to get them back up as soon as we can.

Thank you for the review, James!
Positive experience: The staff are lovely. Well stocked and plenty of choices with a variety of brands. Grooming facilities for your pooch are great too. I suggest parking at the back as the road in front is busy and not much room for exiting your vehicle on the driver's side.

Fantastic experience: Great shop with helpful staff
Thank you for the five-star review!
Positive experience: Great store, great huge stock up. Recent Renos look great adds more room. Dog grooming, the girls couldn't, clip one of my little dogs underside and around the back, they said he was far too anxious. So now I do them myself. But apart from that my other little dog groom was reasonable. They charge half price for doggie that they couldn't finish. Which was fare, so thank you. Owners seem like real descent peeps. Only other downer was the self dog wash ran out of flea and tick Treatment. To be fair, we were told before we entered the dog wash..We will be back.
Thank you for the review Patricia!
Fantastic experience: Nice and friendly people who work there
Thank you Delenn!
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and friendly staff who are happy to help with pretty much anything you need for your furry friends.
Thank you for the review Teresa!
Negative experience: Fantastic. Asked for the hardest fish to catch but they managed to do it! Had some great advice as well. Since posting this I have been waiting on a snail and starfish to arrive in store. I have entered the store twice and asked and have been told each time that they will put them on the next order. 3 months and I am still waiting for a call
Thanks Shane! We aim to please!

Negative experience: 2.5 hours to groom my dog and still did not finish. Then I got "here is your poor dog" The groomer is rude and unpleasant. The rest of the staff are very nice.
Positive experience: Double checked location and hours
Thank you for the review Rex! Our hours should always mirror what is displayed online! If you are ever unsure give us a call in-store.

Thank you Tanya
Fantastic experience: Vast array of pet products and friendly staff
Thanks so much John :)
Fantastic experience: Wonderful people to help you with anything. Best in Albany
Thanks Tracey :)
Negative experience: Went into the store for a dog wash, as I needed my fur buddy dry so he could get back in the car for the drive home, I decided to pay $25 to have one of the staff wash him for me with a specific requirement that he be dry after the wash. The staff member that was to wash my fur buddy was a young lady ( junior) another stipulation was my fur buddy was to be dry after the wash. Whist the junior staff member was washing my mate, I wandered the store and found some other items that I needed and placed them on the counter to purchase when I was leaving, the junior staffer brought my fur buddy to me whist I was still looking in the Isles for other items, and what do you know my mate was still quite wet and shaking of water in the Isles. Needless to say I was not impressed by having a wet dog for the trip home. Get it together guys, I could have done the same job for $10, the other $15 I paid was to have your staff member wash and DRY him, you need to train your staff a little better, at least supervise juniors until they are competent to complete allocated tasks. Sorry but I won't be back and you lost a small sale also
Sorry to hear about your experience in-store Wayne. We aim to give the very best service to ensure our customers (and of course their fur-babies) leave with a smile on their face and with everything they needed. We hope that you will come back and give the store another chance one day in the future.

Fantastic experience: Great service today from Alison who helped me find a jacket for my frenchie really took the time to try on a heap to see what would work for him!
Thanks Maddie for the great feedback :)
Positive experience: They have lots on offer and my visit was only to browse, however, not 1 staff person asked if I needed a hand to find what I was looking for.
Thanks for the feedback Jeanette. We have a new manager on board who will be implementing this as one of the changes and being much more customer focused :)
Fantastic experience: We where recently on holidays in Albany and needed a new pet carrier for our dog. We stopped in and had the most amazing customer service from Dannielle. She helped us pick the right size and model carrier for our dog and allowed us to try it in our car to make sure it fit (lucky we did because the model we were going to buy wouldn't have fit!). Such an easy and stress-free transaction, we will be back next time we are down that way.
Thanks for the amazing feedback Michelle. We aim to make things as easy and simple where possible and so pleased everything was perfect for you :)
Positive experience: 1 waited while my sister was served it is a big warehouse full of a great selection of pet items she and their dog are very pleased with the lead and harness that she bought. The is a ramp up into the building for disabled customers but we had to ask for a chair for me to sit on
Thanks for the feedback Amanda :)
Positive experience: Could do with more variety of cichlids.
Thank you for the feedback FurLy. We find there is not a lot of call for cichlids as they can be funny fish to care for. We order weekly so can always order for customers if possible :)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely, utterly, fabulous staff. Wonderful holiday visit to stock up on what's not around in Perth! We took parrots in with us (on leashes) and myself in a wheelchair, and were made very welcome. Thankyou all for your help and the great time I had there H2T staff, it was much appreciated!!! Best Wishes for a Happy New Year!
