Creative Pet Supply

Disappointed, firstly i thought i had erred as i was sent an email stating postage prices which had not been received earlier, then the product still did not arrive and a got a «copy» of one the manager sent to «Cathy» to get it off the desk and post the item — never received, not at all. Trust paypal will sort. I’m in Australia and liked this store for something I couldn’t find at a reasonable price here, and I also like the page. Sadly I would not trust. perhaps for people in the States, but not for sending OS.

This is a big warehouse type of room, lots of stuffs. People there, especially the woman, are not all that friendly. I went 3 times and each time I felt a bit uncomfortable. They are polite but that’s it, kind if cold with their customers. I have not felt the need nor desire to go back.

I love this pet store and everything that’s in it. They have live exotic animals that are such a joy to see. But everytime I go I never get greeted or even acknowledged. One lady was very rude to my 7 year old for asking questions about certain animals they have. Another female emoloyee that rang up my items wasn’t a joy to deal with. The staff isn’t pleasant at all. There was a young gentleman, I did not catch his name, that was very helpful with my questions about my reptiles. He made my visit a better one.

This is the place for all your pet needs. They have very reasonably priced items. And if you are thinking of adopting a pet this is yhe place for that as well.

Great shop! Great prices! They don’t currently carry our pups brand of food but they have so many other great things! I bought 2 collars this week :)

The owners, Stephanie and Carl, are wonderful people. Very knowledgeable about every product in the store. Plus, they go above and beyond to help you. Every time I stop by they make me feel like I’m part of the family.

Creative is right. Not that what they sell is all that creative, just ordinary household pet «stuff». What is creative is their ability to stay in business (and apparently doing well), in such an odd location and odd business model. I think their primary business is online mail order of pet supplies but then decided to have a brick and mortar retail business as an afterthought. Creative Pet Supplies is located in a warehouse like building that is easily missed by people driving by. Once you enter the building, what you see is a fully stock store that sells supplies for all kinds of family pets. However, what you don’t is see are price tag… odd? I thought so. So, I asked. The answer I got was something about being a mail order business in Hawaii so they don’t (or maybe can’t) show price that may be cheaper??? I am not sure what he was trying to explain to me and I am not sure I am all that interested. However, he finished his explanation by saying their prices are competitive. So I am supposed to gather all the things I am thinking of buying and bring it up to the counter and suffer the uncomfortable scene of saying well «I’ll take this one but not that one?» Or maybe they should assign a clerk for each customer to follow the customer around the store naming off the prices? Hey maybe they do have good prices but I was just not comfortable with that way of shopping.
Next time? I’ll take a look at their website.

Love this place and the owners. They have passion for animals. All good quality merchandise. They might not have every brand but they have the good ones. Wish they carried Orijen though. You can find dog, cat, rabbit, birds and reptiles supply here. There are always rescued pets for adoption. They save animals n put them for adoption, they do not sale them. Most of the merchandise don’t have prices which was so not ok in my book, but after years and years of shopping here, I know now nothing is over priced, nothing. I am more than happy to spend my money here since I know it will go to save another homeless pet. They are trustworthy and honest. If you are looking for a pet to adopt or pet supplies you got to check out this place.

This is a pretty decent sized pet store located along Harbor Blvd in San Pedro. It is very convenient if you just got off the freeway and are headed South. I stopped in here the other day while driving around lost in San Pedro. The store was a bit cluttered, but had a large variety of products for sale, including supplies for dogs, cats, birds, fish, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians. They have several large parrots in the store, and some small mammals for sale. They had two or three adoptable kittens tucked away at the back of the store and I saw at least one adult store-​cat wandering the isles. At the front, they had several above-​ground indoor ponds with aquatic turtles who were very excited to see me. I was surprised to see a skinny pig (mostly hairless guinea pig) up at the front and I asked the man in charge if he sold them there. He said it was one of his wife’s personal pets that she’d brought from Hawaii where they knew a breeder.
A couple of notes on the merchandise — as a crazy bird lady I very much appreciated the excessive number of different nest options they carried for small birds (finches and the like). I was surprised to see some nest types I hadn’t actually seen in stores before. I found a round rope perch for large parrots and wanted to buy it, but try as I might I could not find a price on it. I brought it to the counter and that’s when the store owner helped me. He said that he doesn’t typically price the merchandise because most of his business is wholesale. It makes sense, but for someone walking in and viewing it like a regular pet store /​feed store, it is awkward to have to ask the price of everything instead of just having it easily available. It took the man a little while to get the price for me, actually, since he had to look it up by brand name and the one I had pulled off the wall didn’t have a tag on it. Anyway, end result — I liked the price and bought the perch.
Final note, they have a LOT more products in the store than they list on their website so if you’re in the area and want to check out a pet store with good variety, I recommend this store.

Can’t even say enough good stuff about this place! I recently moved to San Pedro and was looking for a pet store other then the normal chain locations. There were plenty of little creatures to look at and I was greeted with a friendly «hello» by several parrots at the front of the store! The store was nicely organized and the staff was very helpful. I found the items they carried were better prices then at other places. I was happy with my experience and doubt I will shop anywhere else! Five starts all the way!

Great service lots o cool dog toys. Even had a HUGE tug rope that ive never seen before.

So for me, finding supplies for my geckos can be a little tough. Petsmart and Petco usually dont carry what Im looking for and their supplies are limited when it comes to reptiles. I would usualy have to resort to ordering online and I can be a little impatient when Im waiting for something that I want. Luckily there is Creative Pet Supply to solve that problem for me. They have an amazing selection on reptile supplies and definitely carry stuff that other pet stores dont even carry. I sometimes go in for a light bulb and wind up coming out with more. The best part is that its so much cheaper here than all the pet stores I’ve been to. I always lookg forward to building a new terrarium when I come here. Aside from reptiles they have even more supplies for dogs, cats, and other pets and its still cheaper!!! Good quality products at good prices. The staff is also very friendly and they go the extra mile to help you out and are very knowledgable on fitting the product for the animal.

I have been wanting to buy a new couch but I have a giant cat with giant claws. I pass buy this place every time I use the 110 or the 47 so I decided to peek in and see if they have cat scratching furniture and the type of food I feed him.
This is a very confusing place to walk into for the first time. They have stuff piled up everywhere not to mention the random critters in random places. I found a huge pile of cat furniture and went to work digging through it. I decided on one and went looking for the food. They didn’t have it but said they could order it for me and have it there in a few days. I figured I would be paying more if they had to special order it but I was wrong. I picked it up yesterday and they are cheaper than Petsmart. They even ordered an extra bag for me so I don’t have to wait next time.
If you don’t live close, they do a lot of business from their website.

This is absolutely, positively the best pet supply shop in the South Bay. Their prices are reasonable and they have a huge selection of stuff… and are the friendliest and most helpful folks in town to boot!

The hours posted on Unilocal are incorrect, if you go to Creative’s website you will see that they don’t open until 10 a.m. Here are there hours,
Monday to Friday 10AM to 6PM, and Saturday 10AM to 4PM
Large Warehouse of almost everything you need at good prices and the owner will order something for you if you want something that’s hard to find.
They even have pet adoptions of rescued animals on weekends (call for specifics) out in the parking lot as the owner has a heart of gold!

I looked all over for Purina Rabbit Chow. Grey bag, it’s the «Professional Purina Rabbit Chow.» I went on Purina’s nationwide, and they listed like fifty places in California. When I got to Creative, they quickly checked and they had it. «YUP, the gray bag.» So we ran over and had a great time communing with the parrots, the multiple turtles and tortoises, the one crazy beautiful big brown bunny and the hairless guinea pig (which doesn’t sound cute, but it is

This is the little pet supply shop that could, can, and will deliver for you. In my mind, the store that has it all when it comes to your pet’s healthy needs. For exotic pet owners who have animals (2 chinchillas) on specialized diets, I come to Creative to place orders on feed. Even though the wait can sometimes be excruciatingly long (~2 weeks) for your special order to arrive, you just need to plan well in advance so there isn’t panic settling in for your furry ones.
The staff here is very friendly, accommodating, and sacrificial when it comes to ensuring that their customers are satisfied. They will even follow-​up and update you on the status of the feed. And I even get a sense that they don’t mark-​up the prices all that much. Whatever it may be, it’s well worth it since I don’t have to drive to Downey and haul a 50 lb. bag around.
The storefront isn’t that well noticeable, and I’m sure many have driven right by it without even knowing. There is plenty of parking in their lot, which is decorated with potted plants. Once inside, you’ll be greeted with live rabbits, chinchillas, turtles, etc. The set-​up is warehouse-​like with crates of dog food stacked high. What I like is that they carry premium dog food like Canidae that are rated highly by vets and independent dog owner sites. You’ll never see Pedigree, Purina or other low-​end crap food here.

This cute little shop is hidden away on Harbor Blvd. right past the big West Marine store. This store is not like the fancy pet stores that you go to, it’s more of a mom and pop type of store. They get most of their business through the Internet/​mail order.
They have a wide variety of supplies here but you have to know where to look as the aisles are not marked to clearly. The supplies like one other reviewer mentioned can be dusty but for the saving… it’s worth it.
They also run an animal rescue from this location. I actually adopted a cat for my mom here. And one of my co-​workers adopted two of her dogs here as well. If ever you can not keep the pet that you adopted you are asked to please bring the animal back to this location so that they can find the animal a new home.
The owners and staff are very friendly and are eager to help you with any questions. And of course if you have a few extra minutes there are some cute animals that would love to have your attention!

Warehouse type location packed with supplies waiting to be discovered under a layer of dust. Reasonable retail prices, less expensive than PetSmart and other big chains. Primarily they are a wholesale distribution center for small pet stores across the country. Also Animals Rule pet rescue agency operates out of the location. Pet adoption is held on Saturdays.
The store has everything from Pond supplies to dog treats.
A cool selection of dog and cat toys.
