Store Closure Update

Unfortunately, our store will be closed today due to a serious incident that occurred nearby. We want to reassure everyone that the incident did not involve our store in any way, and our team is safe and well.

We’re incredibly grateful for the kind messages and check-ins — thank you for your support and concern.

We will reopen on Wednesday, July 2nd at 9:30 AM, and we look forward to welcoming you back then.

A Huge Thank You! 💛🐾

We want to give a massive shoutout to everyone who came out today and made it such an incredibly successful and heartwarming day — from Running Wild Rescue to our amazing vendors, and of course, all of YOU.

We met so many new faces (both human and doggo!), and we’re thrilled to share that sweet Wagner found his forever home today. That alone makes our hearts full. 🐶✨

We’re totally exhausted and ready to crash, but we’ll be back open tomorrow (Sunday) from 12PM to 5PM. We’ll be closed Monday and Tuesday for Canada Day, so be sure to stop in Sunday if you need anything.

Once again and from the bottom of our hearts — thank you. We appreciate you all more than words can say.

🎉 TODAY is the DAY! 🎉

Friends don’t let friends miss out — and neither will Ace, Spike, or Sandstorm. Don’t give them a reason to judge your life choices… just come down already!

Running Wild Rescue is here, they have brought 2 adorable adoptable doggos to meet everyone. They’re also offering nail trims and microchipping to raise funds for their incredible rescue efforts.

We’ve got awesome local vendors, loaded goodie bags, newly stocked fish and aquatic plants, cool reptiles, and all the pet essentials you could dream of.

Bouncy castles for the kiddos, freezies and drinks for sale, and a whole lotta fun from 10AM to 5PM!

Come for the animals, stay for the vibes — just don’t disappoint the judgmental trio.

New Fish & Plant Shipment Has Arrived

We’re excited to announce a fresh wave of aquatic arrivals landing today, and the lineup is truly exceptional.

New Fish Arrivals:
• Purple Harlequin Rasboras
• Ember Tetras
• Chili Rasboras
• Endler Guppies
• Cardinal Tetras
• Two Stripe Lyretail Killifish
• Kribensis Cichlids
• Balloon Sailfin Mollies
• Alien Bettas

Aquatic Plants:
Our plant tank will be fully restocked with a lush variety of fan favourites, including Bucephalandra, Anubias, Hygrophila, Bacopa, and many more.

Please note: Fish will not be available for purchase today. This allows them time to acclimate in a low-stress environment. Pending their well-being (which we fully expect), they will be available starting tomorrow—just in time for our Running Wild Rescue Event.

Plan your visit—we can’t wait to help you find the perfect additions for your aquarium.

We are open from 10AM - 5PM tomorrow.

Everyone, meet Miso! 🐾💛

If he looks familiar, it’s because he spent a wonderful month with us before finding his forever family just last week!

They popped by yesterday to share some adorable photos and give us an update — and wow, Miso is clearly living his best life! 😍

We love seeing updates and pictures of our adopted animals settling into their new homes. It truly makes our day! 💌

If you’ve adopted from us, please don’t be shy — send those pics! 📸✨

🐾 Got room on your couch (and in your heart) for a few days?

We need temporary fosters for dogs and cats — June 26–29 — with a big adoption event happening June 28 at From Scales to Tails!

Not ready for a forever commitment? That’s totally fine.
But for just a few days, you could be the soft landing an animal needs to shine.

Think of it as pet-sitting with purpose.

✨ Maybe you’re just wondering how they would fit.
✨ Maybe your pet wants a slumber party guest.
✨ Or maybe you’ve got love to give, but not the time for ‘forever’ right now.

Whatever the reason — we need you.

These dogs and cats are adoption-ready, sweet as pie, and just need a place to crash while they wait for their forever.

📅 Foster Dates: June 26–29
🐕‍🦺 Adoption Event: June 28 at From Scales to Tails (5471 Hamsterley Rd, Victoria BC)

Short-term stay. Lifelong impact.
Message us to become a foster hero.

I mean… how can’t you be addicted to this?! 😍

This stunning keel-bellied lizard is living his best life on treat day—with his absolute fave: waxworms! 🐛✨

Honestly, we can’t tell who’s more obsessed… him with waxworms or us with him.

Rate this handsome dude from 1 to 10—but fair warning, in our hearts he’s a million out of 10. 💚

Come down today to visit, open 9:30 - 5:30pm.
