Uncle Bill's Pet Centers North

Uncle Bill's Pet Centers North in Fishers, Indiana is a longtime, family-owned pet store that casts a wide net — carrying everything from puppies and cats to reptiles, tarantulas, feeder insects, and freshwater fish. 8 rating, this location generates strong opinions from the community. Some customers consider it the best pet store in the Indianapolis area, while others have had experiences that left them wanting.

The store's animal selection is genuinely broad. Reptile enthusiasts have found standout specimens like Butter Corn snakes, and the feeder rodent and insect inventory is competitively priced — a practical draw for owners of snakes, lizards, and other predatory pets. The fish section contributes to the store's all-in-one appeal, though reviews don't single out any particular aquatic specialties or rare livestock.

For freshwater hobbyists browsing in the Fishers area, it's a place to check inventory but likely not a destination for advanced or niche setups. Service quality is where Uncle Bill's North gets mixed marks. Some visitors have found the staff genuinely helpful and friendly, contributing to a positive shopping atmosphere.

However, other customers describe uncomfortable high-pressure sales tactics, particularly in the dog section, where multiple reviewers have felt pushed toward purchases they weren't ready to make. One couple recounted being physically blocked from leaving and told to "just buy the dog and ask for forgiveness later" — an experience that clearly crossed a line. The store's strength is its variety under one roof.

If you're looking to browse a wide range of animals and supplies without committing to a specialty shop, Uncle Bill's delivers that general pet store experience. Just be prepared: the level of service you receive may vary significantly depending on which staff member you encounter and which department you're shopping in.
