About
Fetch a Pet is an independently owned pet store in Hudson, NH that pairs its puppies, kittens, and small animals with a freshwater fish section that keeps local hobbyists coming back. It isn't a dedicated aquarium shop, but for Hudson families setting up their first tank, the fish corner here is an approachable place to start, with complete freshwater tank setups available at reasonable prices. Tanks, supplies, and freshwater fish for sale in Hudson, NH sit alongside the rest of the store's livestock, and the staff are the reason people single this place out.
Hannah comes up again and again. A recent visitor wrote that she "was literally amazing from the second we walked in," coming right over, never pushy, and clearly caring about both the animals and the people in the store. That same attentive, unrushed style is what makes the shop feel approachable to first-time tank owners — the staff take time to answer questions instead of rushing a sale.
Other team members earn the same loyalty; regulars describe being greeted by the owner and crew by name when they come back for a second visit. The store leans local and personal in a way the big-box chains don't. Parents make it a routine outing — one toddler reportedly loves feeding the fish every time the family stops in — and reptile keepers have chosen Fetch a Pet over a chain specifically because of how well the animals are cared for, leaving with healthy, happy leopard geckos.
You'll find those leopard geckos and the supplies to house them right near the aquariums, so it's easy to browse the whole shop in one trip. If you want a neighborhood fish store in Hudson, NH where the staff actually know their stock and take their time with first-time tank owners, Fetch a Pet offers a warmer, more guided experience than a warehouse aisle. The freshwater selection is modest next to a specialty aquarium store, but the patient guidance from the team makes it a genuinely useful stop for anyone just getting started in the hobby.

— Tatiana Matos5.0Edited 2 months ago“Got my dog in Jan 2025. Although I wouldn’t recommend the financing option because if not paid in 90 days they charge over 100% interest. next time I go I’d definitely pay up front. My fault for not reading the small print well enough. My dog is healthy and such a good boy. Been meaning to leave a review and never got around to it. Nothing bad to say.”
— Alyson Bennett4.03 months ago“i have to shout out hannah because she was literally amazing from the second we walked in. she came right over and asked if we needed anything, and she wasn’t pushy at all — just super friendly and actually helpful. she knew every detail about the puppies we were looking at, answered every question without making us feel rushed, and you could tell she genuinely cared about the animals and the people coming in. she checked in on us the perfect amount, made sure we had time to bond with the puppies, and even grabbed toys and treats so we could see how they interacted. she went above and beyond without us even asking. honestly, she made the whole experience so easy and comfortable. this girl deserves a raise for real.”

— Robbie Escalante5.018 hours ago“I am supporting Fetch a Pet and all state regulated pet stores. These places care about their pets and although they are businesses, they are also very personal to the people who work there. Pet stores are actually hard to find but necessary to help licensed breeders find homes for them across the country that would otherwise be unavailable. Any good pet store will have paperwork to prove that the breeder has been inspected and therefore complying with all local and state regulations. Without pet stores, the options to buy puppies are lacking including being overwhelmed by scams online - meaning the prices would skyrocket. If you think 2-3K is expensive, just wait until private breeders, MSPCA, ASPCA or PETA are your only options. If you actually want proof, take a look at the IRS documents of the top 10 earners for the "non-profits" - well over 1 million dollars each at the top of the list. They definitely care about their salaries but I'm not sure most have even touched a dog let alone cleaned up after one. Please stop taking on an agenda to hate pet stores just because of Sarah McLachlan and 20 year old sad puppy pictures. The term "Puppy Mill" was derived by these people to tear at the hearts of their contributors. There are bad places in this world but they are not affiliated with state regulated pet stores. Also, the amount of money that "non-profits" have spent on advertising would save every dog in the country 10 times over. A final difference between pet stores and those places is that the pet stores actually pay reputable breeders, pay for transportation, pay rent, pay utilities, pay their employees, etc. etc. etc. They give back to the economy. It is a proven fact that the non-profits pay unlicensed kennels for their dogs and sell them for a profit. They are the bigger problem. Rescuing dogs from shelters should be a priority for those families that are able to get through the adoption requirements. Some people would actually just like a pup with a healthy start and paperwork noting vaccinations, health certification and registration information. Thank you for reading! And, thank you for my soul dog Fetch a Pet.”

— Tatiana Matos5.03 months ago“My partner and I adopted an adorable Leopard Gecko from Fetch a pet over the weekend and she is the happiest and healthiest little thing. We are so happy we went to fetch a pet rather than a chain pet store because of how well taken care of the pets were at fetch a pet. Plus we were helped by Kay who is awesome and really helped make the decision that we were getting a leopard gecko. Kay and fetch a pet are awesome!”
— jordan glass5.05 months ago“I originally left a 1-star review without explaining the full context — only to receive a sarcastic response from the owner. So, I’d like to take a moment to clarify.... While the owner was quick to point out that I’ve left other negative reviews (a whole three), what he failed to mention is that I’ve also left over 50 positive reviews, most of which are 4 or 5 stars. I generally avoid posting negative feedback because I understand that not every experience is perfect — people have off days, and differences of opinion happen. However, in this case I think it's important to speak up. A close friend of mine recently purchased a puppy from this business. The puppy was sent home with serious health issues, including multiple parasites and symptoms consistent with kennel cough (after being assured the dog had a clean bill of health). This led to a significant emergency vet bill — all on top of an already ridiculously overpriced puppy. Understandably, this is upsetting and disappointing and of course the owner refused to take any responsibility for the sick pup... I have adopted dogs and worked with rescues and never in my life have I seen an animal sent home in the condition this puppy was in. Rescues (who actually care about their animals and not just making as much money as possible) make sure the animals are healthy before sending them home. What I find especially concerning is how the owner handles negative reviews. Rather than taking accountability or offering support, the response from the business is dismissive and combative. Based on the other negative reviews (some of which also mention extremely sick animals), this seems to be a recurring pattern when customers raise legitimate concerns. In my personal opinion, any business dealing with live animals should operate with transparency, compassion, and a commitment to animal welfare. I sincerely hope this business is investigated and held accountable before more animals — and unsuspecting families — are hurt.... And to the business owner, I truly hope you have the day you deserve.”
