Hi peeps, I am staying around Toa Payoh. Would like to know where r the petshops, what they sell and how is their pricing like?
Specially to Fairysaint, care to comment? I know u frequent quite a few shops in Toa Payoh right?
I went to Toa Payoh Central today and there is a Pet Lovers shop just somewhere BEHIND a clothing shop.... along the stretch where 7 Eleven is located. It is located at a very ulu corner lor. The prices for the items are really EX! Somehow, I got the feeling that they just ANYHOW jack up the price! I think, this is one of the more expensive shops I've been to. Other Pets Lover outlets do not sell stuffs as ex as theirs. Nevertheless, I got an UltraCare antibiotics from them. They sell lotsa stuffs and different brands of food, but some which I wanted were out of stocks. The lady told me to wait till the end of the week as the stocks may be coming in.
I know that Blk 70+ at Toa Payoh has a petshop too. A & G Petshop right? What do they sell? Any small animals products?
Blk 80+ has an Annie's Petshop? Ghost went there before? What do they sell too?

Yap...i was there before....i'd say that it's a nice petshop,w friendly staffs....& also they don't sell livestocks,hehe.......if u r looking to find hamster accessories,u may drop by there....as for pricing wise,their price is comparable w those petshops at Serang Nth too....so u can "Fan Xin" go & buy.....one more thing to add,if u can't find the things u wish to get,do let the shop owner know....she'lll get it or if not try to sort it out for u.....  |

Ghost, do u know which block is that? Which bus u take huh?
Wah.... price comprable to serangoon nth? Wah... then it's far far different from the one at Toa Payoh Central. It charges price much much more ex than anywhere I've been to.... maybe Pet Safari can fight with it.
Anyone got the phone number of Annie's Petshop pls IM me the number. I am lazy to go down. Will call up to check if they have the items i wan before going down.

Yah lor hor, just remember... just now saw their namecard and plastic bag. All r printed with pet safari logo.
I din go Upp Thomson today leh... cos I got the last bottle of antibio there. Will be waiting for the new stock as I will get one more bottle to store.
Some Pet Lovers I went to didn't price their items so ex leh... but the one at Toa Payoh Central is the special one. Perhaps the rent at TP Central is really darn high.

Hmnn i still find Toa Payoh's petshops prices are a bit on the high side especially pet lover. Most dun carry much variety. To me, it's like i've got no choice then i will buy from there otherwise i would rather travel down to serangoon nth to buy...  AG petshops sells live stocks, cages, wheels wif holes type, ferplast drinking bottles as well as those normal types, dried food for hammies, pine bedding... etc... but some dunno wat brand... prices can be comparable.. can try walking in n take a look but on the safe side.. better check the product throughly if u wan to buy... My personal rating: this shop is rather unkept, things are a bit dusty, all over the shelves... staffs dunno much abt hammies... can be a bit hostile at times. Annie carries at least 80% minimal products of all hamster products. But now they are slowly bring more varieties. Price okie okie lor... My personal rating: Friendly staffs n place looks so much more presentable than AG though it's a bit cramp inside...  Pet Lover very ex though they have almost everything u wan for a hammie... their treats are on the reasonable side. I will only go there to buy treats for my hammies. My personal rating: Very warm inside n staffs a bit on the 'dao' side... very pricy stuffs... There's a aquarium shop oso selling hamsters stuffs. It's oso at the same block as Annie's. U just walk all the way down it's beside a coffeeshop... but the things there are quite limited. U can pop in n have a look. My personal stuff: Staff a bit bo chap... prices okie okie only. Blk 55 Toa Payoh.. which is in front of my Blk oso have an aquarium selling limited hammies stuff n prices are ex too. My personal rating:Friendly staff is all i can say... That's abt it... still the usual saying... Always double check the things u wanna buy. Especially the expiry date. Looks like i can go be a QC liao! hahahaha |
