About
Petland Ashland is a general pet store on the Kentucky side of the Tri-State area, and for local aquarists it doubles as a convenient neighborhood fish store. The shop stocks GloFish — the fluorescent freshwater fish that kids gravitate toward — along with aquariums and basic equipment, and one longtime customer reports buying her fish tank here more than 20 years ago and returning for livestock ever since, calling the GloFish selection her favorite. If you're after beginner freshwater fish for sale in Ashland, KY, this is one of the few walk-in counters in town where you can look the stock over in person before you commit.
Beyond the fish room, Petland is a full-line pet store: puppies and kittens, ferrets, hamsters, birds, and a reptile section regulars rave about. Associate Lexi is the name that comes up again and again for snakes and geckos — families describe her walking kids through hands-on reptile visits as the highlight of their trip. On recent visits, Kylee earned praise for patiently answering ferret questions, Jalyn is repeatedly called a pleasant and knowledgeable worker, and Reiday helped a new-puppy family gather everything they needed and even carried it out to the car.
Honesty matters with the aquatics here: several reviewers have flagged ich in the freshwater tanks and lost newly bought fish, so it's worth inspecting any tank carefully and quarantining new arrivals before adding them to an established setup. Pet prices, particularly puppies, also run high by local standards. Even so, for Ashland families this remains a clean, kid-friendly store where the staff who engage tend to go above and beyond, and where you can pick up GloFish, an aquarium, and supplies in a single in-person trip.
Ask for Lexi at the reptiles or Kylee up front, and you'll likely leave with what you came in for.
