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)

Ward Centre: Ward Warehouse (591-1990)
Business Hours: Mon-Sat from 10-9pm and Sunday from 10-6pm.

Passed through Ward Centre today and made a quick stop to see what was in stock. Today in the small animal showcase they had a few green-yellow parakeets, a couple of gray cockatiels, and a love bird playing on one side. A guinea pig and a couple of bunnies resting up on the other side of the display.

Again the main feature were the puppies in the window. A Jack Russell, a few Mixed Chihuahua’s, an AKC long-haired Chihuahua, and a Basenji. The Basenji was eager for attention, begging from all on lookers to take him home. The Ward Pet Spot is one of the few shops that generally has a good assortment of puppies, always worth taking a look at if your in the market for a puppy.

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.

Pearl Highlands Center (455-8500)
Business Hours: Mon-Sat from 10-8pm and Sunday from 10-6pm.
Small shop located on the west corner of Pearl Highlands Center, close to the Puma Store. Decent variety of accessories. Although at the time I visited they were selling off their showcase aquarium displays and of those only two aquariums contained feeder fish, a small selection of Dojo’s, Electric Yellows, a medium Blue cichlid, and just a few others fish for sale. I’ll take it that they are giving up on selling fish at this location and will concentrate on their puppy display and small split section display of birds and small critters. I must add that they still sell fish accessories and small to medium consumer aquariums.

Puppy breeds available included Basenji’s which they tout as a barkless dog and a few mixed fox terrier/chihuahua’s. The Basenji intrigued me, I’ll have to research this breed next and add it to my Petpedia I’m creating for this blog. Also available were a few lovebirds, parakeets, and guinea pigs. Of the guinea pigs, they had a couple of pure white guinea pigs with the eerie red eyes, which to me resembled the look of oversized mice.

Overall a nice small shop. It would of been nice to have seen fish on display, but I guess the size of the shop doesn’t validate having them.

Waimalu Shopping Center (488-9922)
Business Hours: Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri from 9:30-8pm and Wed & Sun from 9:30-6pm.

Small shop little ways off of Pearlridge Shopping Center. Has a decent amount of accessories available and a nice selection of birds and freshwater fish. Birds in stock included finches, canaries, parakeets, a cockatiel, a couple of parrots, lovebirds, and show pigeons. Other critters available: a couple of guinea pigs, a rabbit, a turtle, leopard frogs, and Jackson Chameleons.

This store had the standard stock of freshwater fishes which also included some silver arowanas and a selection of Clown Knives.

Ward Centre: Ward Warehouse (591-1990)
Business Hours: Mon-Sat from 10-9pm and Sunday from 10-6pm.

Nice looking shop located in the west section of Ward Centre, inside Ward Warehouse. Carries a variety of pet accessories and some of the cutest small animals I’ve seen in a while. This store didn’t have much live stock, but what they had you want to buy. At the time I visited they had some very colorful guinea pigs, a few bunnies, and parakeets. But the main attractions had to be the puppies, a Pomeranian, a Chihuahua, a mixed Terrior/Dachshund, several mixed Chihuahua/Dachshund (These were adorable), and a Jack Russell (I believe).

One of the few shops that does not have live fish for sale, although they do carry accessories for them. Overall a good looking spacious shop, that will have me visiting every time I happen to stroll through Ward.

City Square Shopping Center (841-5234)
Business Hours: Mon-Fri from 9-7pm and Sat & Sun from 9-5pm.

Nice shop located at 1199 Dillingham Blvd, carries a nice assortment of pet accessories. Looks to cater to the freshwater aquarium enthusiast with a wide selection of aquariums, accessories, and a variety of fresh water fish.

There were some puppies when I visited though they looked older than what I would prefer. I also saw Chinchillas and a selection of birds, of which they had a beautiful selection of finches. Along side the register counter they had a few turtles, a couple of frogs, and a Jackson Chameleon or two.

Windward Mall (235-6477)

Great shop located within Windward Mall. Sells a variety of pets and supplies, even showcases exotic pets as well, although they may or may not be for sale. At the time I visited they were attempting to breed the hairless guinea pigs in the above picture and therefore were not for sale. Although they were selling miniature Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pigs for $699.95. The sign on display states they grow from 35 to 65 pounds (First time I ever saw anything like that for sale at a pet store.).

I have visited the shop on various occasions and they always seem to have a couple of puppy breeds on sale. Usually I see mix-terrier types. Last time I visited they had Golden Retrievers which were already sold by the time I saw them. I have seen kittens once in a while, usually the common breed. Bunnies, dwarf bunnies, and guinea pigs can also be found here. As well as a good assortment of freshwater fish- tetra, goldfish, some cichlids, clown knife and a small selections of saltwater fish, including baby eels. Next to their fish you can find a small selection of turtles and jackson chameleons. They have a good assortment of birds as well, including a variety of parrots.

Overall though this is a nice size shop with a good selection. Everytime I come to Windward mall I find myself walking through to see whats new.
