Reviews of The Pet Advantage

Scott Hall

These guys always have the right answer all you have to do is ask! They are great with a lot of different kinds of pets! We have a spotted gecko, that they love to hear about and ask questions about as well. Love these guys because they will take a pet in when a soldier is deployed ❤ 💙 all around a great pet store! …

Holden Cohen-Wanis

Took my sister in on her birthday to get an aquarium set up. The whole staff was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. Great selection for all pets and all animals in there seemed very well taken care of.

Melissa Haire

The staff is so knowledgeable and friendly! Costs a little more but it's completely worth it when you know you're getting the right information and treatment!! This is our go-to pet store for everything!!

Elizabeth Hazzard

Very friendly staff, who seem to take as good of care of their animals as they can or know how. Be careful as a lot of employees have an opinion on what's best for your animal. I find their advice for the most part helpful, so always double check what you are told her through a vet (specialist) or the internet. I would give my business to this place hands down over petco and petsmart, no question.

corrie kotulak (Fitzgerald)

A great pet store with friendly knowledge staff. Big selection of reptiles, small animals, fresh & saltwater fish, pet habitats....treats..all kinds of creature care supplies! I have started my first saltwater tank and they have been extremely helpful!

Rebecca Waggoner

Kind, patient, knowledgeable staff. My kids went in for Betta fish, and were enjoying looking at all of the many other animals. The employees clearly knew the personalities of each pet, and which would be appropriate for young children to interact with, and which wouldn't. My kids are very happy with their new fish ( Pretty and Ruby George Ginny Weasley). Thank you for a great experience!

blackbeary

Amazing place! I adopted a rabbit from them on the 5th. One of the employees walked me around the whole store showing me different foods, toys, houses, cages, grooming tools, and more! She gave me great tips about what toys I could buy that they didn't sell there, how to set up his pen, and even how to litter train him!

Alexander Kaufman (xanderjman)

I've bought multiple reptiles from this place! The staff is very friendly and willing to help you. I would recommend going to this place instead of a larger pet store (such as petco) since many of their animals are from local breeders and the store is family owned.

sunset estate

This place is cool! Critters and more, family owned to! We stop for crickets, meal worms and guinea pig treats.

Jen

Nice staff, Informative, got my adorable little hermit crab their and other things. I so would recommend this place to others.

Nathan Wardwell

Great service. The staff are very knowledgeable about every pet you could have!

Lisa Perry

Very friendly and knowledgable staff! I picked out a sweet little bearded dragon to bring home with me and they gave me tons of info and made sure I had everything I need for my new little buddy!

Morgan Vespa

i went in looking for help picking out products and plants for a beta tank i wanted to set up (knowing next to nothing about fish care). Gavin was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all things beta tank/fish tanks! Would highly recommend if you’re looking to get a tank for yourself

Camie Starshine

I bought speciality foods for my aging Chihuahua. The staff were valet perfect. Very knowledgeable trouble shooting issues with pet care. They have a variety of small pets for sale, fish and a nice shopping layout. They remembered me, same person helped me dispite my visits having been six months apart. My pet did not care for the food they sold me and they would not take it as a return. At the big store on Williston have a return 'unused' portion policy. I should have asked prior to purchase bit I was sorely disappointed to be out $23. My mistake, they lost me as a customer.

Sarah Bridges

The only pet store I can find my Chinchilla's favorite treats, dandelion flavor!

Emily

I’ve adopted all 3 of my rats from here! They’re very good, stinky boys. I love visiting their animals and the staff is knowledgeable.

Heather Smith

These guys know their stuff. Animals are healthy. Store is clean.

Jordan Belanger

Staff is always very helpful and knowledgeable and the store has an excellent selections of animals, food, and toys.

Melinda Bachand

Decent, if small, space and always clean (you would expect all those birds to smell bad!). The folks who work there are really knowledgeable about bird and reptile needs. Only downside is the price, which is a lot higher than the alternatives. But this is local and those are big box stores, so, if you can swing it, it's worth it.

Amber Fowler

If u are looking for more exotic fish and larger fish this is a great store to go to they also have exotic pets like snakes lizards and Etc have used and new equipment is 7 day warranty if your fish died pretty good customer service but the store is small and kind of cramp but have a lot of different breed styles of fish they have a 14 foot albino python, a 10-foot python, several different type of bird species and their prices on their pets are pretty good also can order much larger tank for both salt and fresh water tanks, they also have several reptilian tanks bird cages and critters to feed your pets with, they do have a lot of saltwater fish and freshwater fish lots of different breeds they have shrimp and some crawdads a beautiful selection of Aquatic Life and they have a lot of coral that you can purchase to, well I went to the store the other day and don't plan on ever getting your money back on exotic fish because I went in there the other day and brought spring water and they try to tell me the ammonia was through the roof now if anyone has common sense they know that spring water has no ammonia show when they say it's a 7-Day guarantee the return it it's not and I can tell you 20 other people that it happened to so don't plan on getting your money back if your fish dies basically once you buy your fish you don't get your money back if you want your money back if a fish dies go to Petco they have a great return policy I ordered a red tail catfish better what day it died I have bought 9 other fish before that and did not have a problem until I have the red tail catfish so if you know that your tanks good and you don't mind losing money you can go here they weren't even explain how their weird testing goes they use test glass tubes to test your water I have took in my water to Petco and PetSmart and my levels were perfect show you tell me if they did mess with the levels to not refund my money or fish well update the owner di make up food great deal now just work with him and u will get the best

Jackie Giles

Only place we can find a good selection of salt water items for fish tank. Great selection. They have everything you need to set up and maintain salt water marine life. Have things for just about any pet you might have. My dog loved walking around and he picked out a treat for himself. They have quite a few animals too - since I went at the end of my pregnancy, my sense of smell was very sensitive and there were a couple of places in the store that were difficult for me to be in, but my husband never had any issues so I do believe it was because I was very sensitive to smells.

David Bickmore

2 smaller gold fish and 2 snails are doing great! My wife got great service with tips on how to transfer fish to the new tank

Amanda Smith

This is an awesome pet store. I was visiting from out of town and my sister took me here raving about how big a selection of bunny stuff they have and they really do. I am from an area with tons of pet stores and I've never been in one with so much bunny stuff. Also, they have lots of animals to look at which my kids loved and the workers were relaxed and helpful and not really high strung like some pet store people can be about kids being around. Not a huge fan of the cages of worms but I am sure the animals who get them as snacks will appreciate their freshness 😂

Jason Dominy

Staff was friendly and kind. If your a dummy like me, go ask for help so your pet wont starve! Thanks

Michael J. Pryor Jr.

We had a great experience. We went to bring home a rescue pet and left with our new family rodney and teddy and their home. Thank you guys so much.

Jacob Giroux

This store was reccomended to me, and I was not let down. Absolutely amazing friendly staff that are full of knowledge. Nick is helping me set up a fish tank with the right arrangements. He was extremely helpful, kind and full of knowledge and employees like this need to be appreciated for their work.

Gaming with Dad!! Santiago

Great pet store! Not a corporation, plus run by people that not only love animals but whom has extensive knowledge about all things pets. Good customer rewards program. Also only pet store in VT that I've found that the crickets for feed do not die two days after buying them. Buy up to 100 Crickets and maybe 2 dead after a week! That's out of this world, and something you ain't finding in any of the competitions

Фильм где девушка Шестой

Great local shop for exotic reptiles, fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and arthropods. Staff can be rude sometimes that is my only complaint. Animals are well cared for and feeders and other products are premium quality.

Jon Tisbert

Supper knowledgeable and help full staff! Made getting the right set up easy. Thank you

Alyssa Jean

One of my favorite places to stop and visit and stock up on pet supplies!!! They have such a big selection of Hamster products such as; Homes, chew toys, treats, foods and beddings. The store is full of many different kinds of fish which are all so beautiful! They even have these really cool looking blue grub worms at the front!😂 it's always hard leaving, I love looking at all the animals there! They even have cute bunnies, birds, mice, hamsters, fish, reptiles, amphibians, spiders and Guinea pigs!

Craig Ramsdell

What an awesome establishment! When the owner takes time to help you find just the the right Salt water fish to add to your reef tank you feel special. Very knowledgeable and very courteous!

Max S

This is THE place for your pet supplies. They have everything. Always fun to look at all the different creatures they have in store: whether it's cute rabbits, hamsters, or birds, fishes, turtles, snakes and so many more! Better to support them than big pet co. IMO. And they have a great customer program!

Meghan Neely

Pet Advantage is my go to for fish and reptiles. They have a wide selection of live animals and plants and the staff has always been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I got my axolotl from here three months ago and he couldn't be doing better! I've also had a lot of success with Pet Advantage's goldfish. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Justin Bolio

- love the pet advantage!, every time I need something for our kids new fish, the friendly, outgoing staff always seem to be able to give me exactly what I am looking for. I absolutely give this place a Big 5 stars, and five stars for the people that work there. Everything is neat and easy to find, I recommend this establishment to everybody. If your a first time pet owner, or a pet expert... well then this is the place for you!! And did I mention it is absolutely kid friendly!....

JemiQui77

Very great locally owned place! The staff are great. I spoke with a young lady who had a bird out and she explained to me that she was carrying him around to hopefully give him a better temperament. I was very impressed by the care of the animals. Not perfect but definitely better than chain pet stores. Also their prices are pretty fair.

Alyssa Whitney

Back in March I adopted a Skinny pig from The pet advantage and I couldn’t more happy with this pet store.. my little boy is so healthy and happy. He is just a ball of energy. The staff there are so nice and helpful, to store itself with having so many animals is so clean and well put together. Hopefully soon I’ll be heading over that way again. ❤️

Justin S

Very clean for a pet store that sells as many live animals as they do. As a rabbit owner I have concerns about how many rabbits they pack into a small space and how much freedom of movement they have outside of store hours. The gentleman who cares for their rabbits is very knowledgeable, I've heard his advice to others firsthand and he knows what he's talking about, but I wonder about parts of their care that are out of his control. The store is on the pricey side for supplies, but in general the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. One of the better pet stores I've been to, definitely come here over a place like Petco.

Cindy Alvarado

Store is a small space packed with supplies and a bit chaotic. But have a great assortment of healthy pets and friendly knowledgeable staff.

Barbara Johnson

Excellent customer service/ friendly & knowledgeable. Very clean, super hummane with there pets and best of all local animals to VT. Must go!

melissa moorhouse

They were very attentive. Excellent customer service and paid attention to the details which is something you rarely see in the chain stores. The owner was kind to my dog and gave him a treat and helped us pick out a gorgeous alpaca wool sweater that was locally made. My little dog is a southern boy and he gets cold easily and I have had difficulties finding clothes that fit him online and at the chain stores. This sweater fit like it was made for him! Support your local economy and go there for all of your pet needs. They will go the extra mile for you plus the store was all decked out for the holidays with lovely Christmas music playing. It was a wonderful shopping experience.

Angee Provost

One of the best pet stores I've been to! Friendly atmosphere, great service, and a wide variety of pets and pet supplies to choose from. I just bought a Sun Conure from them, hes amazing, loves to be handled, very sweet, and the employees were very helpful and informative.

Michelle Thibault

I love this place, Gabe the owner sold us a beautiful Pineapple Conner, he was so amazing. She's wonderful, I love them. Erica found me a turquoise green cheek I'm in love with too! We also get crickets for my son's lizard and they live a while longer. I will not go to another pet store. Thank you Gabe and Erica. They have a wonderful staff, we love Lily & Leo.

Ellie Clevenstine

Gabe (the owner) was SO knowledgeable and helpful, willing to answer our dozens of questions. He has a great variety of equipment and livestock for marine tanks. So glad to have found this gem of a store.

Ashleigh Leduc

My boyfriend and I got a hedgehog through Pet Advantage a couple of weeks ago. The staff was friendly, helped get us the starter kit we needed, and gave us a coupon for the next time he went in! I returned a few days later to ask some general questions about hedgehogs, and Gabe was so friendly and helpful. He really seemed to know what he was talking about, and listened to all of my concerns. A great pet store that actually cares about the animals and the customers.

Ronnie Del Pino

A real pet shop with all sorts of pets and supplies. It's better than any chain. The staff is really on top of their game. So, ask any question you'd like!

Heather Kenyon-Haff

Locally owned independent pet store with excellent service and expertise.

Kathryn B D

We went in yesterday just to browse some fish, and not only did we find some cool stuff, but we had a great experience! The owners are amazing and friendly, and it shows that they truly care about animals, which is so nice to see in a pet store. They're very knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge. We're from out of town but we will definitely pass by again when we're back in the area!

Szypher

Amazing store. Comprehensive help for Aquatic life and furry friends. They sell a range of products for domestic animals and their staff are knowledgable and helpful. I enjoy visiting this location whenever I can.

Cindy Belisle

Extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of animals, reptiles and amphibians. I went to 3 pet stores looking for a treatment the vet recommended and the big box stores didn't have it. As soon as I walked in and asked an associate, they walked me over to exactly what I needed. Even better, when I was checking out the cashier even let me know that they board birds, reptiles, all smaller pets! They are also owned and operated by a local Vermonter! I'm going here for all pet items in the future!

Nicholas Ceffalo

Very friendly and helpful staff. They have a good selection of items for your pets. They also have a good selection of fish, fresh and salt water. They are only the 2nd place I know of in VT to offer salt water variety. They have birds and reptiles as well ready for you to take home.

Madison 07

This is overall a pretty nice place. It’s great if you don’t wanna support breeder mills as they breed there own animals. I do have some problems with it though. The hamsters rats and gerbils some of there wheels are wire. Wire wheels cause bumble foot and aren’t good to use. If you guys could change those out it would be nice. Also the hamsters rats and gerbils tanks aren’t good sizes rats like to climb and you are keeping them in ten gallon tanks. Some of the stuff here is overpriced. If you guys stop doing all this I will give a 5 star review.

Merrill Allen

Great selection compared to other pet stores, and the animals are quality- most are bred locally. Staff is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Sometimes I just go in to look around! I do shop here for supplies most of the time even though prices are slightly higher than other places. My only gripe is that the manager has been rude to customers before.

Deb Mitchell

There are a lot of pet supply stores where you can find a catnip mouse - and Pet Advantage has those - but they also have a lot of other stuff. The thing I really appreciate, though, is that the staff really knows their stuff. Bring your questions and they'll likely have some good suggestions, even if they don't carry the solution you need! (But they'll probably have something you'll find useful!)

Noah Dion

When you first walk in, you may feel as though it is a bit overcrowded, and trust me that’s a good thing! They’ve packed tons of supplies, products, reptiles, small animals and fish into one little area that it’s almost overwhelming and I want to buy everything in sight. But I resist...my passion is fish, and they have a nice aquatics section for sure. The employees are helpful and friendly. Gabe is a cool dude, he’ll steer you in the right direction. You can special order fish as well, which I like. You’re going to get more definitive, and educated answers here than you will at a big box pet store. The prices aren’t too bad, somewhat high on certain things but I suppose if you don’t like it, buy those items elsewhere. They have a mini koi pond, the best selection of goldfish that I’ve seen around, and they even sell used aquaria gear and are willing to negotiate on their as-is prices! I live over an hour away, but every time they’re worth the trip. Definitely worth checking out for sure

Richard JOLLY Tanner

Not bad place bigger fish anyway anything you need they will go out of their way to get but don't ever ever plan on a return the should just say they don't return fish at all they will lie put stuff in your water anything they have to do to not take the fish back or return your money

David Viau

Superb store, the owner is super friendly, they really love what they are doing and it shows. They have a nice selection of aquatic books and fishes, and we even talked a bit French! They have good prices, nice fish and plants as well. Next time I'm in Vermont, I'm going there again for sure!

Brandy Tougas

Super knowledgeable and helpful owner and staff. They even carried the fish tank to my car! Didn't try to upsell, but gave me lots of options. We will be back!!

Kiley Briggs

Awesome store with a great variety of fish and reptiles. I hadn't been to the place in almost 5 years and it's been renovated since then. Basically the old reptile wall was knocked out and the store expanded about thirty feet. The staff is pretty knowledgeable too. The pet advantage is probably the best pet store in VT.

Chris Johnstone

An associate stopped what he was doing to answer my 6yr old’s questions about her new fish. He spoke directly to her and helped her learn about he new pet and made sure we had everything we needed before leaving. Well done Pet Advantage!

camie opulski

Thus pet store has it all. Prices are a bit higher because it's a locally owned shop. It has birds, crickets, pet beds shop here and support a local business.

Julia McGinty

Came here today for the first time and the owners (a husband and wife pair) are very nice. Not only do they know their stuff (even about small animals, like my rabbit) but they are friendly and welcoming. Great stocked store, more stuff for my rabbit here than I can find at the local petco/ petsmart, which often doesn't have what I'm looking for. I'll be coming back!

Elizabeth G

I come here all the time to get things for my chameleon (which I also got from here). Pet Advantage has animals of all sorts of kinds. I have friends who have purchased rats, tarantulas, you name it. The people here are absolutely lovely, Gabe is a very knowledgeable and very helpful person and wants to give you as much information and advise possible for you to raise and love your pets for as long as possible. I don't think I can emphasize my rating for this location enough!

Max Wagoner

Bought a tarantula and was told when asked that he “thought it was female but couldn’t be sure” (females live a good 15 years longer than males at least.) When I brought it home I could see that it was clearly a mature male tarantula, and I have no idea when it reached maturity so I’m looking at having this tarantula for one year at most before it dies. I’m disappointed. His tibial hooks are VERY clear and anyone who knows tarantulas would easily be able to identify him as a male. The staff member who helped me was very nice and did her best to make sure I got what I needed which is why I’m giving them three stars.

Veronica Bills

I used to love this place a lot more, but maybe that's because my father was the owner. I might have some bias'. That being said, I still greatly enjoy visiting. This store has a very special place in my heart. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR LOCAL SHOPS! The current owners are business people, for sure. They are always looking to sell, sell, sell! LOL very persuasive, and I'm so easily persuaded! However, they are very friendly and kind hearted. They are good people, and they hold good conversations. 👍 My gf and I purchased a bird from them, and not only did we get a great deal, the owner even offered (and did) drive it all they way up to our home, about 25-30 minutes away. I don't think the live in state, either. So, I think it was completely out of their way. They have a wonderful selection of products and animals. Reptiles, rodents, fish, exotic animals, they have it all! If they don't, just ask! I'm sure these people would be more than willing to look into finding whatever you desire. One really great part of visiting the store, they have a store cat! 😺

Lenn Lockwood

These people give outstanding customer. Even though very busy,with a small staff,the sales men who busy at the cash register, saw young my young grandson looking around. He came said I to my grandson asked how he could listened to my grandson and showed him where to get what he wanted. Even thought obviously very busy and short of help he talked to my grandson as thought he had all the time in the world and that my grandson the sole customer . I watched him,he treated every customer the same. When he asked can I help you he sincerly meant it. He listened,and truly helped. On many when my grand wouldn't talk to him,he was treated like a little boy. The man treated my grandson like everyone a customer. He was very determined everyone received great customer service rather they made a purchase or not. Some one came with cat came in with cat that needed a home and he help the cat find a good home. Iam very impressed with this store. I will come here for all my pet. On behalf of grandson and our family thank you very much.

Mitchell

Just moved to the Burlington area from Central Florida and one of the first things I needed to find was a high quality place for reptile and aquatic pet supplies; after searching for a while I came across The Pet Advantage. I was building a new 75 gallon tank and the staff at the store were able to really help and educate me on all the equipment I would need, could live without, and should defiantly have. After one of the pieces I bought ($200) broke that night I was able to bring it back next day and they replaced it with no issues and even gave me free marine water to help me fill up my tank while I was waiting for my new device to come in. Regarding reptiles great as well. Not a very large selection to chose from but if you need anything they will special order it for you with a down deposit of course. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a high quality store with educated staff for your fish and reptile needs.

Ronnie Bushway

This is a great pet store. My wife prefers this store for her aquarium items because the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The products they sell are of good quality and the live animals they sell are healthy and seem well taken care of.

Charles Rogers

Absolutely love this place. The only pet store I've seen that truly cares for their animals. The prices tend to be higher than average, especially on accessories, but you can't beat the service or quality care given to their pets.

Mellie Holzscheiter

The cleanest pet store that sells pets! I’ve never seen another store that sells pets and is able to keep the store so clean! A whole variety of critter and ample supplies for all of them! A very knowledgeable staff! Slightly out of the way, but quality makes up for it!

J T

If you want a place that actually cares about the living things the take care of and go above and beyond for you & the things they take care of this is the place I have been going here for about a decade or so and it constantly a welcoming place you can clearly tell every employee loves what they are doing I wish I could give this place 10 stars 🌟

Samantha Jackman

Super friendly, helpful staff, excellent selection of everything you need for your aquarium and exotic pets. Always fun to check out the animals while you're shopping!

cvrg kvt

Much better store then the chain stores. The employees are knowledgeable about the pets. Quick story, I bought a parakeet at one of the chain stores in Burlington. It took the sales person 30 minutes to catch it, after exhausting the poor bird. Several months later I decided my parakeet needed a friend, so I went to Pet Advantage. It took that employee 3 seconds. I'm not kidding. It was like he was the bird whisperer. They are good at what they do. I'll never go back to the chain store. 2 thumbs up!!

Darlene B

It was a good visit. Good customer service. Thank you

Kiki Reno

Great customer service and adorable pets!!

Ben Stein

Friendly professional staff and a wide variety of pets and pet related products. For a smaller independent fish store they have a surprisingly large variety of well-kept and healthy fish.

Jenn Lee

It's ok. The products are a bit overpriced compared to other pet stores. My main complaint is almost all of the animals are adults, so you wouldn't get to raise them from babies. Also, being adults, and big, the prices are crazy high. A baby corn snake averages around $30-$40. Their adults are over $300.

Alex Dombi

I love the Pet Advantage! A bit more pricey than Petco or Petsmart but it's well worth the knowledgeable and helpful staff. Beautiful aquarium selection!!!

Heather Peatman

Great local pet store. Lots of care given to the animals. They carry a wide variety of fish and other cold-blooded critters. They also have a wide array of supplies as well, suitable for your cat, dog or exotic! One of the few places for saltwater fish. :)

Michael Keel

Went in looking to set up an aquarium. Gabe the owner walked around with me and answered all my questions. I got everything i needed and didn't feel rushed. Very knowledgeable and a great guy. I will be going here for all of my pet needs in the future.

Bobbie Merriam

Awesome place. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly. Salt water guys charles, an gabe also the owner awesome with salt water knowledge. Sold us this setup here we love it an everything is going well.

Eric Harrington

Great place. Leashed pets allowed to come in too, but heads up that there are cats (and sometimes dogs too) that belong to the store owner/personnel that roam loose in the store on a regular basis that are very friendly so if ur bringing your dog in make sure they are cat/other dog friendly!! My kids love going here just to look around for an hour or two and check out the huge variety of animals. Almost like a small scale zoo but with no entry fee!! Lol

Lindsey Souliotis

Great helpful staff. Their Guinea pigs are just the sweetest. My local go to pet store for sure! Plenty of foods, cages, toys, pets! Go, now, if you want a good pet!

Lissa S

Love this place!! The people here are so genuine and helpful. The only place I will go to buy animals. They are very careful about where their animals come from. Small selection for some items. Be sure to check out the koi pond while you're there!

Michael Yergeau

Our family can't get enough of our Beautiful blue lobster we brought home today!

Ashley Barbeau

They really know their stuff, especially when it comes to Fish tanks. They also have some very pretty betta fish.

Anas gaming

Love this place. Way cheaper crickets in bulk than Petco! And they have an exotic collection of amphibians and reptiles! I love watching the animals eat when it's feeding time. They also have a store mascot name Simon, hes a siamese cat and he and I like to play catch me if you can, peeking out from behind something and then darting away. He will play with u for hours. He loves to laze around. I love this store. They are welcoming and dont mone that I like to spend so much time looking around! Plus if you want to pay bulk prices for crickets. It's only 30 bucks for a 1000 that's 3 cents a peice as opposed to the whopping 16 cents a peice at Petco! That's soooooo much cheaper! And they also sell theirs for 10 cents if ur not getting bulk. But even if you get more than I think 50 crickets it goes down to 8cents. So if you have reptiles you should go here! They also have Tom's of fuzzies pinkies and other things to feed your exotic pets

V White (Photography)

Great pet store to buy animals, maybe not supplies. Definitely on the more expensive side, but if you're planning on getting only the animal itself (such as a hamster) or just wanna look around, I highly recommend. Nice place with friendly staff

Chris Thibault

The family went in to get crickets for our son leporard gecko. Ended out walking out with beautiful Pineapple Sun Conure. The owner Gabe and his wife were very knowledgeable about care for the bird. Won't do business with anyone else. Chain stores suck compared to this store.

Samantha Leclair

Love this pet shop. It is clean (no awful pet smell), the staff is great and there are a lot of different animals. I come here a few times a year from 1 1/2 hours away in NY. Well worth the trip!!!

Mindy Morgan

They're prices on food 4 reptiles aren't bad, the prices on the animals I feel are a little high, and depending on the products the prices vary, the store itself is very nice, and the koi pond is gorgeous

Rachel L.

This is definitely the better pet store in the area, however, I've had concern about the rabbits. The rabbits usually don't have enough hay, sometimes the feeders are even empty. Rabbits aren't supposed to have a pellet based diet, they need the hay to grind down their teeth and keep their digestion healthy. I understand that they aren't at the shop for very long, but this sets a precedent for poor care by inexperienced owners who get their information from the shop. Additionally, the young lionhead rabbits weren't groomed well at all and it was a hot day! They need regular brushing, especially during the summer when they're trying to shed as much of their hot wool as they can. Also, wooly rabbits shouldn't live in wood shavings, it sticks in the wool and makes painful mats. It's much better to keep them on fleece blankets with a grated litterbox. It seems to me, the rabbits are an after thought at Pet Advantage. The birds are getting excellent care, and I am not as familiar with fish and reptiles but they seemed to be fine too. A simple google search gives enough info to improve the rabbits' care, there really isn't an excuse.

David Kulikowski

Great local pet store! Great crew working there, very helpful. Will be using these guys as my go to for all my pet needs!

Kandie Williams

Top notch customer service. Reptiles from amazing breeders. Well cared for and handled animals. Staff can answer any question you have. Will be coming here for all my pet needs from now on.

Maya Cabrera

I appreciate how you all are with folks trying to purchase an animal. You asked a lot of questions and require a food purchase( it only annoyed me cause I have a lot of rat food already 😅😅). Pets are a serious commitment so if that discourages the purchase, you don’t need the pet! I got a hairless rat and he is super curious, friendly with everyone and my other boys really took him in like it was second nature! I live far but the trip is worth it to this place!!

We have been in several times as we have set up out saltwater tanks. Charles is amazing. He knows his stuff,is always so friendly, helpful and patient.

Todd Baumeister

Great customer service for all your pet needs. I always get great advice from the staff. They have good hours, a great selection and good prices. They also have an easy to join customer loyalty program.

carol opulski (camieo)

Soup to nuts of pet shopping, and plenty of small animals, birds, fish. The staff are very helpful in trouble shooting any problems you may have. Local family owned, nicer than the big chains or warehouse style. I like it.

Miss Joy's Art Room

The staff was ready to help but not overbearing while we were "just looking" and when it came time to purchase, we wouldn't have gone anywhere else. My only disappointment was in that the cichlid selection wasn't very colorful.

Emily Menzel

Pet Advantage is THE location for all your reptile, fish, tarantula, or small animal needs. Petfood Warehouse has a larger selection for cat and dog supply, but for anything that's not a cat or dog, Pet Advantage is the place to be. Not to scoff at their cat and dog products, because for the smallish size of the store, they still manage to carry some great dog gear. They always seem to have treats and toys you can't find at Petfood Warehouse, so whenever I stop in for mice, I always end up with some new dog treats too! Helpful, knowledgeable staff, and local!

Edward Deak

I own a mixed reef saltwater tank and I'm pretty sure this the only place in the Burlington area that has what I need. The have salt, r.o. water, filters and a healthy stock of fish and corals to populate my tank with. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Mercedes Lynn

The best owners and staff. Very caring, knowledgeable, the animals are very well taken care of .

Larry Green

Nice staff. Answered all of my questions. There is a ton of pets and pet supplies there. Worth a stop in just to check it out.

Mellé wedin

I love the slection of fish and the decore they have in stock. All the fish are pretty healthy and not under fed, like most pet stores practice to cut down oun water changes. Oh yeah and the koi pond is fun too!

Amanda Muzzy

Everyone that I have met there has always been kind and friendly. They are always willing to help with not only finding a product in their store but also with advice on your pet.

James Grady (Dad)

Fun animals, and if you're planing to get a bearded dragon... Don't go here because it's 100$.

cierra gokey

I absolutely love this place! Petco is bigger but I so feel like these guys have way more in a smaller place if that's possible? Lol!!! From now on I go to Pet Advantage everytime I need something.

m Green

Very good customer service but I think the fish is a little bit too expensive

Valentina Mazzarese

I bought a leopard gecKorea from pet advantage and so did my friend,they are wonderful animals and they both have supplies to live on from pet advantage. Even if your not there to buy a pet you can still hold them. Pet advantage is magic. :)

Bonnie Cantrell

Mix of everything. Best pet store I've been to. Local owners. Commonly a wait of a few people and can be hard to find a worker not busy sometimes. Generally pretty good though.
