Went there to buy a rabbit with our oldest daughter. The woman working was horrible. When the girls asked to see a rabbit to help decide which we were going to buy, she gave them a lecture about not petting them unless we where there to buy something. Even after we explained she just wanted to choose one she still never took any out to view. When she decided by looking though the glass at them, the woman with a very poor attitude began explaining to our daughter how much work it was going to be. How much care it takes. It almost sounded like she was trying to talk he out of it to be honest. Once we had paid she went to some freshly delivered packages, dumped out the products and put the rabbit in it. No real thought given by the company to transport animals home. We won't be retunring again.

Doogan's is my family's favourite pet shop. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. We got our fur babies and our feather baby here. Great place to find the newest member of your family!! 😄

This place really cares about the animals and makes sure they are well cared for! The staff is super friendly and love catching up with the pets they gave forever homes to! I fell in love with these 2 (dark is Sam Winchester, blonde is Dean) I just want everyone to know, no matter what kind of animal you choose here, or chooses you in my case, these lovely people have your back!

As someone who’s bought many pets from here and only here.... many hamsters, a bunny, a guinea pig, and a dog, this is an awesome pet store to buy from. My bunny and my guinea pig were companions in the store and stayed companions for years after. I recently had to give my bunny away but 5 years later she’s still perfectly healthy. My dog is perfectly healthy as well and her 10th birthday is coming up. Breeding conditions are good for all the animals this place sells and I’ve never had a problem! Nice and knowledgeable staff as well. I’m hoping to come and buy a hamster soon. 5 stars!

I recently went into Doogans because I was really early for an appoint upstairs, so I thought I might as well take a look at the selection of reptiles. I'm a reptile lover and I own 8 lizards. I also constantly like to know about the care of reptiles that I do not own, because I find it fascinating to learn about the different species and their care requirements. I go in and I check the reptiles. They only had two lizards available. A leopard gecko in a horrible set up, with no water. And a Uromastyx lizard. For those who don't know the care for them, they need a basking spot of around 115-120 Fahrenheit, they need it to be hot for them to thrive in Captivity. He was actually hiding from the heat source, when they do that, there is something wrong with the care, and the animal is sickly. They eat primarily seeds, so housing them on millet, and other seeds is more beneficial for them, because they can eat it and pass it through their digestive system. Where as sand causes impaction, which will lead to the animals death in a slow and painful manner. This Uromastyx was LITERALLY dying in the tank. It had it's mouth full of sand, it was barely moving around and he was emaciated and skinny, and couldn't even open his eyes.Like the leopard gecko, he too had no water or access to fresh greens. The water bowls were full of algea and they looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a year. They wanted $150 for it. $150?! For a sick animal that'd be better off euthanized than staying in that enclosure for another day? Spending $150 on an animal that would cost someone well over $3,000 to give it proper vet care, set up, and food. After seeing that, I put the lizard leash that I was about to buy back on the shelf, because I wasn't about to support such practices. I'm still contemplating calling the SPCA, so they can send an officer to see just how bad the conditions of the animals are in. You know your pet store has horrible care practices when a chain pet store is a better option for getting live animals from.
