About
North East Discount Pet Center on Bridge Street in Pelham, NH is a long-running, owner-operated shop that locals have leaned on for decades — some regulars still remember following the store from its original Market Street location in Lowell. Scott runs the floor and knows his customers by name, while Sharon handles the small-dog grooming that has earned its own loyal following. It's a true mom-and-pop pet and fish store, the kind of place reviewers describe as having a calm, bright energy you won't find at the big chains.
The fish room is the heart of it. " If you're hunting for healthy freshwater tropical fish for sale in Pelham, NH, Scott has a reputation for fair pricing — he doesn't mark fish up to hobbyists the way PetSmart and Petco do, and longtime customers report stock that thrives long after it comes home. He's quick to answer questions, recommend a fish, or troubleshoot a cloudy tank, and he keeps tanks, setups, and aquarium supplies on hand to go with the livestock.
This isn't only a fish store. The shop is home to parakeets and other birds — one recent customer brought home a keet named Boss and an angel — plus bunnies, hamsters, rats, and other small companion animals, all available in Pelham, NH. Live feeders and crickets are stocked for reptiles and amphibians.
Bird owners come in for quick, affordable nail and wing trims, and the shop even boards birds; one regular picks up his bird Coconut "happy and very well cared for" every time. The space is compact rather than warehouse-sized, but that's the appeal — it's a personal, independent neighborhood pet and fish store where Scott's hands-on knowledge keeps Pelham fishkeepers and pet owners coming back year after year.
