Fish Bowl Aquarium & Pet Mart

How does a pet store get away with selling puppies in 2022? I cannot believe how sad these dogs looked. I had no idea this store sold dogs never mind how poor their enclosures were. I walked in, walked out, and I will never be back again.

This place was awesome but some staff was a girl and was super disrespectful my brother and me were saying awe look at the puppy when we get it we are gonna name it rover and she said that is never gonna happen so she is blonde haired as well just to let you now in case you run into her

Unique assortment. It has way more than pet store chains and live animal selections are dar better. Kudos to a small business.

Bought my son a beautiful Betta from here. There fish variety is wonderful

Went to the fall river location. Maybe it was a bad day for them but i was not impressed at all. Was never greeted despite walking by two workers multiple times. No one really tried to help me and when i asked questions about products the woman really didnt have much to say. I bought an air pump for my aquarium and a check valve, the pump already had one and the woman failed to mention.

Also very disappointed with the storage and care of the betta fishes. No better then your chain stores. Theyre stored in tiny plastic containers with one air hole and 2 were dead. Really nice. Also lots of dead fish in the filters. Overall will never be back place is junk.

YIKES. Sick puppies, DEAD fish just floating around, the cashier straight up ignored me. this is where warm feelings go to die

Our family and friends have purchased multiple pets (approx 10) through the years from the Fish Bowl. We have never had any issues with our pets that were purchased. I also have a close friend who works for Animal Control in the city of West Warwick, and he has been in the store multiple times due to allegations, people have made. He states if there was any signs of neglect or animal cruelty the store would be investigated and possibly shut down.

Obviously they are still open. I feel bad so many people have had problems with their pups. I am sure like everything else that is being sold, your bound to have a certain percent that will have issues. The Fish Bowl sells quite a few puppies. I am sure they have done the right thing to resolve any issues with the consumer. If they never have, it would have been shut down years ago!

These guys have the healthiest plants in Bristol county. Jaime was so helpful on the phone and Mike was able to deliver my plants for my aquariums the same day. I would highly recommend calling them and ordering!

Went in to meet a specific dog we had the intention of buying however when we asked to meet the dog the young lately stated "you can only meet them if you're bringing it home" promptly slammed the door to the area behind where the dogs are kept without another word. Despite there being signs posted that you just need to be 18 to handle an animal. I'm 32. ok miss hope you have the day you deserve. Only started going here bc my regular store had a cricket shortage and needed them to feed my lizard, guess I see why they had plenty in stock.

Puppies were getting sick everywhere, while stuffed in small crates with nothing but a bowl and water. They look absolutely miserable. All the fish tanks were filthy. These animals are living in a bad environment. Absolutely awful. Not to mention the animals were eating their own feces and vomit. Terrible place for animals.

Place needs to get shut down asap! rude unappreciated ignorant staff all the animals and insects they neglect please someone help asap! please HELP! :-( HELP HELP :(HELP THESE POOR ANIMALS

Rudest customer service in the world. Have been looking to adopt a dog for months and went inside to look at the dogs only to get turned down for my age (21). The man literally yelled at me and told me he didn't believe I was truly trying to buy a dog, then kicked me out of the store and said I was not allowed to look at any of the dogs. Ageism at its finest

I bought two guinea pigs there a year ago today. One of which died from a seizure and the other to genetic health problems two days ago. They need to explain to people who buy them they can be very expensive if they have health issues which most do and most people can't afford those bills, they can not tell the genders apart and will sell these animals to just about anybody.

The young staff there don't know what they're talking about when it comes to these animals. If you don't have people to have the correct knowledge on these animals handling them and selling them you know how many are gonna suffer due to incorrect care? I do not recommend getting any animals from this store puppies are almost always sick they have small animals in tiny tanks with limited room and not the best food.

They let just anybody in there handle them. Absolutely ridiculous. The owner saying they don't know what happened a year ago, it's genetics. Don't buy from breeders who have sickly animals. It's common sense. Then you wonder why you have all these terrible reviews. You need better employees who have knowledge on these kind of animals too.

Ever single fish we bought from this place died within a week, while fish from other pet stores survived. Be careful, I wouldn't go back again.

I've seen to many dead things in here and they gave me sick feeder mice and they infected the rest of my feeder mice. They have extremely dirty tanks for the fish and reptiles.

This place is truly amazing. went not too long ago to get a bearded dragon and they have some amazing nice workers who truly love and care about the animals there. a woman working there was very helpful and gave some great advice and helpful tips for caring for a bearded dragon.

I first went in to buy some fish and live plants for my aquarium. The girl working there must've been on drugs because she couldn't understand what I was asking her. I told her I wanted to buy a fish and she said it would outgrow my tank, so I said I would just buy a bigger tank. She said "huh?" And that she couldn't sell me the fish because it would outgrow the tank.

I said I would buy a bigger tank and she still didn't understand that I was there to spend money. I then went back to the register to pay for the live plants since that's all she would let me buy and she didn't have them. She said "can I help you?" I said you've been working with me the last 5 minutes. I wanted to buy the live plants.

And she forgot them. She was clearly stoned and on drugs. So I'm going to spend my money elsewhere. The owner should know he's got an employee problem there. 5:30 pm on Friday 10/9/2020. Check the cameras, you'll see I walked out empty handed. I was there to spend money and walked away empty handed and the store lost out on making money. Very sad

I go to the fishbowl when I'm in a pinch for time for my aquatic needs since it is very close to my house. The most stocked section is the aquatic section, they have various fresh and salt water fish and I always make time to peek in the aquariums before I leave. I highly recommend stopping my the porcupine puffers because they are friendly and energetic and love to play with passerbys.

The service is quick and fairly friendly, though I wouldn't say the staff is warm and inviting. They do have small animals, reptiles, and dogs for sale but the selection is very limited and there are less choices for supplies there opposed to petco and PetSmart and the prices are pretty much the same as the large companies.

This place sells inbred puppies with medical issues. Do not go here! Charge you $900 for a puppy that is doomed medically. Go to a shelter people!

Stopped in to look at fish. Saw sad, sick-looking puppies in cages and walked out. This business perpetuates animal abuse by supporting the puppy mill industry and as such they will not be getting any of my money.

I'm kind of torn on this place to be honest. My first visit there, the employee working was on the phone (sounded like some aggressive customer service inquiry) and said he'd be right over to help us out. Nearly half hour later he came by to see what we needed. I was a little annoyed, but dismissed it because I understand that sometimes those types of calls are tedious and frustrating.

We decided to pick up 4 serpae tetras, 3 Gouramis, and a synodontis catfish. When we told the guy what we wanted, he hastily grabbed a net, dipped it in the tank, and tossed the first fish he caught into the container. He did it first with the tetras, which I wrote off because they pretty much all look the same anyways. When I pointed out the opaline gouramis, he ran off so quick I didn't noticed he grabbed a giant fish with barely any pattern, whole they had some stunning opalines in there with lots of deep blue spots that were smaller that I definitely would have preferred. Also, when picking the catfish, which are known for their black and white spotted pattern, I specified I wanted a spotted one (some were solid colored).

His response, naturally, was to scoop up an all brown one and toss it in the container and begin to walk away. That time I called him out immediately and chose a different one. Another thing that happened when picking fish; all of the gouramis were labeled 3 for $10. Me and my boyfriend openly discussed the price in front of the employee and made it really clear that we wanted to partake in that deal, and he showed us toward the fish that applied.

I didn't notice until after we left that I was charged separately for all of the fish. When I called back to ask why, he told me it was because apparently only two of them were regular gouramis and one was a dwarf. If I had known, I would have chosen another one instead of the dwarf. No biggie! Instead of telling us though, the employee decided to be greedy and keep his mouth shut so he could take advantage of charging us more. Lastly, the synodontis catfish I bought was belly up within 24 hours, when all of my parameters were perfect and all my other fish were thriving.

When I found the dead synodontis the next morning, I immediately called the store. I told them about my negative experience (I spoke with a different employee) and about how I believe I deserve a replacement fish despite the strict no return policy. The gentleman on the phone told us to come to the store so we could work something out. When we got there, he informed us that the man we dealt with the day before was actually the OWNER, which was baffling. However, this employee (I regretfully can't remember his name) went above and beyond to make sure we left happy.

He allowed us to exchange the synodontis for a new one that seemed a bit bigger and healthier than the first. I was very happy after that, but he went out of his way to fix our other issue, and offered us to pick any gourami to take home free to make up for us previously being taken advantage of. This gentleman is the only reason why I'll be returning to this shop. I'm glad at least this man employs honest people that care about customer satisfaction.

Cool fish and large selection of fresh and salt. Floor is a bit rough but they were working hard keeping the animals happy. Some kittens, puppies, reptiles, and birds too.

The store is filthy! The girl working the desk had no personality! Poor little tiny dog stuffed in a small crate! 1200.00! Not vaccinated microchipped and you want 1200! No

I've bought a couple fish and other items here and have been overall impressed. They could do more variety on the freshwater options, but they're a lot better than the chain pet stores. The one real downside is that it's hard to be helped sometimes but that's not the worst thing. A lot of times I need the wait time to help talk me out of an impulsive purchase. Prices on small supplies are fair. Lots of stone options, limited wood options. Larger tank purchases seem very pricy.

Awful. They had a bassett hound cooped up in a tiny cage. Their bearded dragon was kept on sand, which is horrible for them, and looked emaciated. They had large rabbits in small enclosures, along with guinea pigs in a dirty, small tank. There were tons of dead goldfish at the bottom of their tank, every tank was cloudy. I would never give this place my money, and I would not recommend anyone give them any of theirs if they continue to mistreat animals like this.

Fish bowl aquarium is a great local salt water fish store, they are knowledgeable and always reliable with the water testing. They have a good selection of salt and freshwater fish, frags, live rock and corals (especially restock day). Always worth a stop in and see what's new. Kevin helped me out today and was pleased as always! Thanks guys! Also wanted to note, the exotic reptile/amphibian store upstairs is awesome! Worth a look!

We bought a gecko from the guys upstairs. Fishbowl had all the supplies we needed. We accidentally got a heat mat that was too big, and they let us come back and exchange it for a smaller one with no problem. Fish wise they seem to have a good variety and I personally didn't see any dead fish in the tanks. By far, better than a large chain.

So sad. So completely sad. I went in to buy a Red Cap Oranda and in the goldfish tank, there were dozens of dead fish in the bottom of each cloudy tank. Fish are animals too, and it's downright cruel for a store to operate like this. Shut this place down.
