Pet Stores in Mooresville, NC

“The staff here are great. They always offer to help. When I forget something I have purchased in the past they look it up and help find it. They are knowledgeable about the products and share tips based on their experiences with products as well as customer feedback. And the option for same day delivery is a lifesaver some days. Love this store.”

“FORGET PETCO, FORGET PETSMART! GO HERE!!! If you have, or want to get an aquarium, go here! Such an amazing store! They're tucked behind Jet's, Jeffrey's & McDonald's off exit 33. I could have saved myself so much stress and money if I'd have known to go here previously. We have a small (10g) freshwater tank that used to have a single diseased betta. What's worse, is the whole tank set up, filters, all the medicines I ended up, needing to get, fish, etc. or a birthday gift for our kiddo. I spent so much time money and sweat trying to save that darn fish. #RipBernieJoe I promise I'm not exaggerating when I say, I spent hours in the different pet stores, talking to their fish people, researching different fish, species, online, asking questions in newbie and pro forum... I was so desperate to give my kids what we had intended all along - a fun, active, and simple fish tank. First iMessage them on line and they quickly got back to me. I joked to my husband." let's go now before I lose my courage and keep overthinking this darn thing." We went in with our kids and told them exactly what I had, what our water levels were, that I did not want to break the bank, and prayed they could point me in the right direction. They did! This is a store for Sirius, and high-end Aquarius's, AND newbies wanting a fun, simple, and inexpensive set up. They have it all. Their fish start at something like three dollars, and there's plenty of those to choose from, and then they have many beautiful, exotic creatures, including an axolotl, majestic, coral of every kind, I can imagine, and I believe a SeaRay or two. My kids LOVED it. I found them surprisingly family-friendly. We enjoyed going around and seeing all the fish, I joked it was like a mini aquarium hidden in Mooresville. They gave us space to browse (they even have an upstairs with gorgeous coral, unique fish, and a mudskipper! They didn't make us feel like an annoyance, and were SO KIND to our kids. My youngest kept asking a lovely couple who worked there "hold me?". (This is extremely out of character for him, and they were so sweet. They happily obliged, held him on their hip - also unlike me to let someone touch/hold my kid - carrying him around the store, showing him and his sissy the fish... we stayed way longer than intended! They were so patient when we were trying to have adult conversations about Fish keeping while the kids interrupted every other word. ) We bought a couple of small fish and will go back when they get some more of a certain species in stock. They were incredibly informative, and incredibly honest. They told us what would - and wouldn't - make good tank mates, they sold us healthy vibrant fish from CLEAN tanks (unlike the pet stores ), and were awesome. They NEVER pushed us to upsize our setup, buy fish outside our budget, or made us feel unwelcome. We and our kids can't wait to go back. Note for newbies: if you're looking to start a tank, go by the store and talk to the team here. Get an idea of what you want, and get your tank set up FIRST. Then return to buy your fish. You have to "CYCLE" your tank - letting it run for a while and checking things like Ph, ammonia, etc. They have it ALL here. Thankfully we have a wonderful family friend who was kind enough to educate me on cycling, what filters to get, etc. Just making a note because these are things we usually don't understand in the beginning. They'll be able to get you set up. TL;DL: ONLY GO TO THIS STORE FOR ANY AQUARIUM NEEDS!!!”

“Recently stopped in for some dwarf shrimp and ended up getting a crayfish instead. The staff were extremely welcoming, helpful and polite from the time I came inside until checking out. They answered all of my questions and I have since gone back a few more times because I enjoy viewing the animals while getting feeders or supplies. The staff seem pleasant with the animals and are extremely kind when I ask for help, even mid-task, which is sometimes not the case. I will definitely come back!”

“I've been going to Salty's for about 18 years, and you can't find a better LFS. The people are knowledgeable and friendly, and the quality of the products is excellent. They'll test your water and offer advice, and they've never steered me wrong. Once several years ago, I tried a store closer to home and regretted it. Salty's is worth the 40-minute drive for me.”

“I love the feed bucket. You cant beat the price for what you get. It may be a bunch of different foods mix together when u get the mix but its still better grade food than all the cheap stuff. My animals tear it up. I like when i get the dog mix and it comes with treats inside. Not only are the prices of everything good the people are nice too. We spend a lot of money there so we have become a regular customers and they have been so good to us. Never a problem. Also they have a pantry outside for people in need. Great place highly recommended! Oh i almost forgot...they will load the heavy food in your car for you how sweet!”

“Brittany is wonderful. She knows her fur customers. We go every 2 weeks for nail care. Brutus is SO EXCITED every time we go. If you are close, you’ll hear him singing her praises!”

“Chris helped us pick the right fish for our home. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He stopped to help my family and I and didn't mind our questions. Hats off to Chris!”
