pet shops
Animal retail stores
Pet shops are retail stores that sell animals kept as companions—dogs, cats, fish, birds, hamsters, reptiles—along with the supplies needed to care for them: food, cages, aquariums, toys, and grooming products.
The term is sometimes spelled as one word, *petshop*.
Controversy surrounds pet shops that source puppies and kittens from commercial breeding operations, leading some jurisdictions to restrict sales to rescue animals only.
We stopped by the pet shop to pick up some fish food.
