Waikele Center (678-8808)

Located at Waikele Center, behind Steve & Barry’s. By the way Steve&Barry’s has everything in store on sale at $9.95 until whenever they decide to stop it – another reason to stop by the pet shop. Back to Pet’s Discount, nice size shop with a good supply of pet accessories.

On my visit they had German Shepherd puppies, a black Labrador, a Maremma Sheepdog?, and a Border Collie on display. Along with some mixed Shepherd/Chows/something else, (sorry memory lapse.) Behind the counter they had a Jackson Chameleon or two and a Sulcata tortoise. Halfway through the shop, a display gondola with a few bunnies and a Guinea Pig and at the back, some freshwater fish.

Liked the selection of puppies, hated that I’m still unable to have one.

Hawaii Kai Towne Center (395-0448)

Located at the Hawaii Kai Towne Center. Beautiful location. Decent size shop, carrying a variety of pet supplies concentrating on Cat and Dog supples, but they also have a little bit of everything else.

Some live stock available also: a white rabbit and a couple of Labrador Retrievers were the main event, with a Cocker Spaniel napping across from the counter. Opposite of the counter a Sulcata tortoise was on display. A few parakeets and a small selection of freshwater fish and plants could be found toward the back of the shop.

Like the look of the shop, but I can’t shake the feeling that something is missing when I leave it.

Enchanted Lake Shopping Ctr (262-2219)

Pet Shop Located across the Cinema at the Enchanted Lake Shopping Center. Good size, a little empty, but nice assortment of supplies. First shop that actually had live rocks for sale. (If your thinking about nabbing these, be sure you can control the temperature in you aquarium. A cooler than room temperature is important.).

No dogs or cats here, but bunnies, guinea pig, and mice could be found here. As well as a nice selection of Jackson Chameleons, with a variety of lovebirds, cockatiels, parakeets, and finches displayed toward the back. Along the side of the shop were aquariums stocked with Freshwater and Saltwater fish.

Also, one of the few shops that had Crown Betta fish available (Yes, I’m still in to that. Even more so as the betta I bought at Pets Plus is content in sticking its head in its marble stones all day like an cartoon ostrich- and no its not dead.). I have to say, even though small, they had the best selection of betta’s I’ve seen thus far. (Although the water they’re contained in could be changed)

250 Ward Ave., Suite 120 (593-9788)

Located on Ward, behind First Hawaiian Bank. Been re-arranged since I used to visit before I made this blog. Its more open now, which gives the shop a bigger feel. Still carries a good assortment of accessories and I have to say, just when I thought I couldn’t find any more exotic pets, I find ducklings! Good price too, don’t think I can have one though.

Shops also carries a nice variety of freshwater fish (some nice discus fish available), a few saltwater fish, a red-ear slider turtle, Jackson Chameleons, and a few birds. Of which they had pure white and pure yellow parakeets, finches, lovebirds, and canaries.

I’m still in my Betta Fish phase for the office, so I ended up picking up a red crown at a very low price.

Windward Mall (235-6477)

Visited Windward Mall and of course I had to stop by the pet shop where I was greeted by that Pot-Bellied pig on display… hmmm no one wants pork?? Just kidding, or maybe nobody wants to chance going over the Pali with’em.

All kidding aside, it looked like they got a shipment of live stock in. The shop was full as ever and the bird displays, absolutely the best of all the shops I’ve visited so far. Canaries, Parakeets, Conures, Parrots, Finches, Lovebirds, Emerald Pidgeons, Cockatiels, and a full line of consumer bird cages to boot. Complete kits if your interested. (Hint)

Today they also had Bunnies, Guinea Pigs, mix Lab/Pitbull puppies, mixed Shih Tzu/Silky Terrier puppies, and Chihuahua’s. I still haven’t mentioned the leapord frog, turtles, Jackson Chameleons, good selection of freshwater fish, and saltwater fish. Its worth mentioning that the betta fish were on sale for Valentine’s day at the cheapest price I’ve seen.

4400 Kalanianole Hwy (734-7387)
Business Hours: Everyday from 10-9pm.

Large warehouse/shop full of pet accessories and a nice selection of live stock. When you walk in, you’ll get the impression that they have everything you might need. This store has bulk size foods and small bags, large aquariums to betta blocks, small cages to kennel cages, sleeping mats to scratching post, well… you get the idea.

Good selection of live stock to, although I didn’t see any puppies or kittens. I believe puppies are available Sunday mornings only. Birds available were lovebirds, canaries, parakeets, finches, and cockatiels. They had a large selection of freshwater fish and plants, with a small selection of saltwater fish displayed along side. The only small animals I saw today were a few rabbits that were spending the day napping.

Stadium Mall, 4510 Salt Lake Blvd (488-8843)

Small shop, tightly packed in the corner across Pizza Hut. Sells a decent assortment of accessories. Looks to specialize in freshwater fish stock and supplies. A large variety of fish can be found here from Cichlids, Tetra, Goldfish, Discus, Fighting Fish, among many others, with a good selection of aquariums to display them with if your in the market for that as well. I ended up picking up a Betta Sphere for the office as it was on sale (at the best price I found so far), but then I splurged on the Betta. I bought the full moon tail type…. I like the sound of that for some reason.

The shop also carried a couple of guinea pigs, mice, a couple of cockatiels, canaries, and Jackson chameleons. There was one star that really shined out from the rest, even though there was no lights in the aquarium it swam in. Thats the cichlid in the middle of the banner picture up top. I have never seen a cichlid with such vivid colors, not for sale by the way – this fish would be the pride of any aquarium. I’ll have to do more research on it and add it to my petpedia.

Overall nice shop, tightly cramped though with a great selection of freshwater fish.

Town Center of Mililani,

Business Hours: Mon-Sat from 10-7pm and Sunday from 10-5pm.

Nice shop located at the corner of the band stand, has a little of everything. Nice selection of accessories, although more on the small to medium size of things. Good live stock, of which included bunnies, tortoise, Jackson Chameleons, Parrots, Cockatiels, Finches, freshwater fish, and some puppies. Breeds in stock included miniature poodles, mixed chihuahua/fox terriers, and mixed pomeranian/papillons which I would have bought on the spot, had I the resources to take care of them. (Sigh)
