pet stores

Aquarium fish retailers

Pet stores are retail shops that sell animals, pet supplies, and related products.

They typically carry dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles, and small mammals, along with food, cages, toys, and accessories.

Chain pet stores have largely replaced independent shops: We got our goldfish at the pet store.

Some pet stores have faced criticism for sourcing animals from puppy mills.
