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.

Latest Visits: Petland

Posted under Latest Visits, Petland by oahupet on February 6th, 2008 8:36 pm

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.

Latest Visits: The Pet Spot – Pearl Highlands

Posted under Latest Visits, Pet Spot by oahupet on January 26th, 2008 1:44 pm

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.
