I decided to give this store one more shot after receiving an email from the manager on my last review. I always try to give people a chance and the benift of the dought.... So I decided to go back recently for dog food. They have done losts and have added new things since I've been there last, I stand by what I said about the store itself being very good and has nearly everything you need and if not they do order it in if need be. Now since my last visit there has been an "Improvement in Customer service" which before I felt there was a lack off and for thet I have added two extra stars. The guy that served me was nice pleasent and gave advice on a few questions I had. I will be going back now and again and hopefully I continue to have good experience. I also know that I said that the fish stuff in the seahorse aquarium place out in Tallaght is cheaper and you get and a loyalty card and all, and also that they're are more knowledgeable on fish. I still stand by that.... On the other hand I received a email from pet republic explaining that they were willing to match the prices of other places which was a nice gesture. So a place that is willing to improve for one of its customers should be enough said.

Hi my name is Karen and I am only new to all of this I have recently bought a bijon frise puppy. I have shopped around a few different pet shop’s. I have to say the staff in this pet store are the best they are all so friendly and have a genuine interest in your dog. I got so much advice from The staff. My puppy is coming on great from all the advice your colleagues gave me. I have passed on my experience with many of my friends who also have dogs and already my sister is changing pet shop to go to your store and no doubt many more will also. It’s so hard these days to go to any kind of a retail shop and get that kind of treatment. I had to give a review because more people should try out the shop and once u have one experience there u will never turn back. Thank you so much Dale and Riad especially for ur expert advice. I will definitely be back to your store. I really hope that your management are fully aware of the excellent standard of quality their colleagues have and most importantly their friendliness. Thank you so much for my many happy experiences in your store. I look forward to many more. Yours sincerely. Karen o’Brien.

Just had a very upsetting and humiliating experience here. Went in originally to buy an axolotl, staff were a bit cagey around me and I would have to jump through hoops if I wanted it. Water would have to be checked, tank sized right, heater, filter etc. So they basically talked me out of it. As my daughter was very disappointed, we went to ask for a hamster as we have great experience with these animals, having had them over the years. Again, staff acted extremely suspicious, wanting to see photos, cages etc. Which is fine. I then bluntly asked; “Are you going to sell me a hamster?” Which he replied “Yes, I’ll come to the till now with the hamster.” I had all my equipment ready there, waiting when surprises surprise I was told the hamster couldn’t be sold and that it was on hold all of a sudden. My children were devastated as they had saved up for such a long time, only to be told that they couldn’t have it. I put the kids in the car and went back in to see exactly what was going on and was given a completely different excuse. Overall, customer service was appalling. I will never set foot in this shop again.

  • Alan Goulding

Have been buying dog food here for the past 12 - 18 months. With each purchase of Canagan 12kg bag I receive 4 vouchers worth €2.50 each. The product was €90 last year and it conveniently increased to €100 - higher energy costs, war in Eastern, etc etc - the usual rip off explanation. The vouchers can never be redeemed because they are only valid the day after the purchase for a period of 30 days - what a gimmick. Some staff are helpful while others have absolutely no personality. Went online and the same bag of dog food is €81.70 with free delivery. Pet Republic has certainly lost a decent paying customer. Greed once again is responsible for loss of a customer. Please shop around.

  • Anne Marie Kelly

It was a pleasure for myself and my daughter to purchase two gold fish and a tank combined with accessories ie. Pebbles, tree and filter in the tank along with the safe start and aqua start pack all for 60 euro. Mark the shop assistant was a gentleman to deal with. He went through the process of setting up the tank, keeping the tank clean, and how to feed and look after your fish that they will live a longer life. Highly recommend this Pet Store as the staff will meet all your needs, also follow up phone calls if you have any doubts or additional queries which I had. Mark came to the phone and answered my query. Excellent Customer Service. Good luck in you future Mark.

Pet Republic, formerly Petco, store still over great deals for your fur babies from beauty, clothes, food, health, and toys. Pet Republic also has a grooming parlour on site. Pet Republic has the best selection of fresh water fish for that home aquarium or office waiting area aquarium. They have all the aquatic supplies you will need, even for the outdoor garden ponds. Pet Republic is fur baby friendly, so bring them along to shop, just don't give up your bank card to wee ones. Lol The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Pet Republic also has a great loyalty program for customers. Give them a follow on your socials: Pet_Republic_IRL

  • Ray Holmes

Drove around every pet store in the greater Dublin area recently looking for small ghost Koi , very poor selection everywhere. Came upon this store almost by accident . Couldnt believe the selection that greeted me , exactly what I was lookin for . Endless choice from the well stocked and excellently cared for tanks. A fishkeepers paradise. Even got a great discount . Very helpful and knowledgeable staff who expertly bagged my purchase for the car journey home. I was so pleased by this service that I return here for all my future pet requirements......whoever runs this place knows his or her stuff,

  • Margaret Carey

We were there last Thursday got four different colour goldfish ,stones ,plants ,conditioner for water when we set it up it looked really great ,jay has special needs and he sat watching the fish for a long time it’s very therapeutic for him ,I have a question please this week we are hoping to set up a tropical aquarium for him while we were there we looked at tropical fish that started at 2.95 we thought that was great value we are going to start with these fish we have the tank,filter and heater for it but would like to know what temperature the tank needs to be please many thanks Margaret and jay

  • ENEMIX

Bought fish Monday this week cardinal neon tetra next day fish starts to develop white spots I bought medicine but fishes still in pretty bad condition. I whent to store today and they told me that whole colony is sick so I naturally asked for refund because had to spend extra money for medicine ,the guy in store just refused me and told me that they not selling sick fish even dough 2 tanks are full of sick fish. Please avoid this store as looks like they not taking any responsibility for stock that they selling. I had very bad experience with them.

  • p p

It was a good store but the cages for all animals were just too small and just because an animal survives in a small cage with no toys doesn't mean it's happy animals need enrichment which they can't get in a small cage, I visited the store and the baby hamsters were jumping up the edge of the cage trying to escape and the hedgehogs wheel was mesh which is not suitable as it can hurt their feet and two birds were put in a very small cage with only a perch, I will continue to go to the store but they could improve.

  • 031flavor

Good place to visit, if you like pets. Large shop with good selection of pet food and supplies,fish and aquarium plants,and also rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters and exotic birds. I would like if they had more African cichlid fish, they used to have bigger selection, and they are really beautiful and attractive fish to keep. Also they keep terrariums and aquarium tanks and good selection of aquaristic equipment.

  • Aaron Slevin

Great experience in this branch. Only popped in as I noticed it going into Lidl next door and the guys were the most helpful I have ever experienced in a pet shop before. I was having some problems with my snake eating and two of the guys working there gave me some suggestions. After trying them out she ate straight away putting an end to a few weeks of starvation. I will definitely be going back here again.

  • William Weldon

Friendly helpful staff with a large selection of products and healthy food types for dogs and other animals there's an on site groomers with a very patient groomer and she's absolutely brilliant with the dogs and you don't need am appointment for nail trimming while petco can look expensive it's anything but they are extremely well priced considering they offer high quality food and equipment

  • Barrett Family

Bought a hamster that was absolutely covered in rat mites. I wish I had seen them before I bought her. Cost me over 250 euros in vet fees in order to cure her. This was my kids first hamster and it was a complete nightmare. I keep trying to call them but cant get through, but the staff weren't helpful when we bought her so I'm not sure if it would do any good anyway. Never again!

  • Dojodyo

The staff are nice and helpful. I asked all the staff questions and I can tell they have a lot of experience :) .. I just wish I bought that dark/black Ranchu I saw before now it is gone hehe. -edit- Came back and they have the Black Ranchu. Straight away bought haha.. would give more star but can only give 5 thanks again will come back for aquatic plants!!

  • Derek Connor

I wasn't a fan of pet shops that specialise in all family pets, usually they no feck all, I was surprised and delighted when I went in window shopping,I don't know all pets but I know fish, and I think for the first time I was talking to people who knew about fish, I will enjoy business with the staff cause for once a chain store with staff with knowledge

  • Andrew Egan

Fantastic shop!!! There fish section is extremely impressive!!! High quality fish at very reasonable prices. I never got the name of the guy serving me (gray beard and bald) but he was probably the best customer service experience I've ever experienced and he was extremely knowledgeable. I'll definitely be returning to that shop because of him.

  • mark fitz

The fish section is very good, Well kept and the staff are very helpful and friendly and know what they're talking about, as a fish keeper it's great to hear other opinions about the hoppy, spent a while talking to the manager really friendly and knowledgeable guy and Marc who gave me some great advice, definitely will be back

  • J Scott

Went to this place for a few tid bits. All the staff seem to know what they should and are ALL friendly. Their is an African Parrot called Rico. Who is absolutely lovely. He has such a great character. I would love to be his keeper. They cater for a wide variety of animals from aquatic to desert species. WILL use them again.

  • Colin T

A very good selection of products for various pets and various small animals available as pets from fish to birds and some furry critters also , staff are fairly knowledgeable regarding the products sold as well as advice towards pet care. It also caters for dog grooming but I have not availed of that service as yet.

  • Deividas Motiejunas

Lovely Staff and very Knowledgeable, Fern was the lovely woman helping me and my partner yesterday. At first we wanted Bunnies but then we ended up getting two lovely Guinuea pigs before we left, Fern had very good knowledge of the animals there, she deserves a raise, and also very friendly

  • Branislava Krickovic

Very disappointed... wanted yo buy guinea pig staff member was taking out of box about 30 guineas and told me they are keeping them all for somebody and that there is few sick animals in the back i can call about two weeks to see are they better to buy them?!?!? Very bad experience...

  • Sean Kavanagh

Marc what an absolutely gentleman. He needs a higher job in this company he’s knowledge knows no bounds and his attention to customer care is superb.he sold me and my girlfriend a beautiful fish which she had my head melted for but she’s happy now and it’s all thanks to Marc !!!!

  • Ailis

I bought 2 birds from them last week and both are sick! The male has some kind of bacterial infection and the female isn't doing too good either. Chances are she won't make it. Their cages were very over crowded too, 30 birds in a tiny cage with not enough perches or food.

  • Jade Morgan

Always get my animals from here and they all live long and healthy lives. One of our goldfish even made it to 5 years Staff know what they’re talking about and have the animals best interests at heart. Would 100% recommend, especially for first time pet owners! …

  • shawaiz

Great Great Great pet shop , it is very clean and all the animals are well looked after although I would like a bigger selection of birds and I love the way the staff member has a cockatail on his shoulders wich is the bird I want but there weren't any for sale .

  • Renee Kennedy

Nice place for wild bird seeds etc. Friendly staff to help you out with big stuff (I've lots if birds who come). Also plenty of caged birds, budgies etc. Fish and small animals too for kids to look at. Plenty of car parking in small estate with Aldi close by.

  • Tonia Lawlor

It was my first trip to this pet shop and I had a very friendly, helpful and most of all knowledgeable member of staff! He knew everything on how to look after your pet! From birds to reptiles to fish! I will definitely be back and can highly recommend them.
