Run by Scott, with Sharon handling dog grooming, this is very much a mom-and-pop operation where the owner knows his regulars by name and keeps prices competitive against the big box chains. The fish department is a core draw, with reviewers consistently noting a solid selection of freshwater tropical fish at fair prices. Scott has earned a reputation for not marking up fish the way larger pet stores do, and multiple customers report purchasing healthy stock that thrives long after leaving the shop. One reviewer specifically praised the condition of the fish tanks as the best compared to other shops in the area, though opinions vary — a dissenting review flagged tank cleanliness concerns, so your mileage may depend on when you visit. This isn't exclusively a fish store. North East Discount Pet Center carries a broad inventory of pet supplies, food, treats, and toys across categories. The shop is home to birds, bunnies, hamsters, and small animals, and several customers have purchased companion pets here over the years with positive results. Bird nail clipping is available and reviewers praise the quick, affordable service. Sharon's dog grooming gets enthusiastic endorsements for her careful, caring approach. The space itself is compact — don't expect a warehouse-style layout — but customers appreciate the variety packed into the footprint. Some reviewers note that certain dry goods can sit on shelves a while, and pricing opinions split between those who find it reasonable and those who feel select items run high. For Pelham-area fishkeepers and pet owners looking for a personal, independent alternative to PetSmart and Petco, Scott's shop delivers on selection, price, and the kind of face-to-face expertise that keeps people coming back for years. ## Specializations - **Water Types**: Freshwater - **Livestock & Products**: Dry Goods - **Known For**: Reptiles & Amphibians, Good Prices ## Highlights - Owner-operated by Scott for decades with a loyal multi-generational customer base - Competitive pricing on freshwater tropical fish compared to big-box pet stores - Dog grooming services by Sharon with strong customer reviews - Broad selection of small animals including birds, bunnies, and hamsters - Bird nail clipping service available at affordable prices ## Customer Reviews **"Kirsten"** - 1/5 - a month ago > The condition of the tanks and enclosures was horrific. No enrichment for the animals, the fish tanks were filthy. Animals on the floor, dirt everywhere.

Always helpful, always well informed. **"Don Lanteigne"** - 5/5 - a year ago > Nice place, they had a lot of items to choose from and a good selection of birds.
