I recently moved to Lincoln Heights and decided I needed a companion. Having been a previous bird owner I decided to check out the local pet shops in my area and see what they had to offer.
Upon arriving to Pete's Pet Supply, the first thing I noticed was that the shop was very clean. I was also greeted as I walked into the shop. I was looking at the few parakeets they had that day but was told to return the following day since more parakeets were coming in and I would have a bigger selection to chose from. I was shown the cages, food, and other items they sell for parakeets. At no point did I feel pressured to buy anything like in the other shops that I had visited. I was allowed to look around to my leisure and I even got a friendly goodbye even though I hadn't bought anything on that first visit.
When I returned the following day there were more than a dozen parakeets, all very colorful and healthy looking. I chose my new companion and was asked if I wanted to hold him. I was asked if I wanted to keep him or chose another to my liking. I kept him since he was tame and not a biter. The staff seems to care whether the animal and the customer are a good match. Mega points in my book!!!
I chose my parakeet's new cage which included a swing, perches, and water and food bowls. The only other thing left for me to purchase was the food. I had more than one choice for the parakeet's food. More points!!!
This is my new go to pet shop. I would recommend Pete's Pet Supply to anyone looking for a clean shop, friendly staff, and extremely low and reasonable prices. Keep up the good work!
