Lemon Grove Pets

Not even one star. as soon as you walk in the stench of dirty cages hits. The front has scorpions and centipededs in small cages all of which were dead. the animals in the back were all in dirty cages and the poor chinchillas were in bare cages with no food or water. most of the cages did not list prices only monthly fee amount. an asian man came out of the back room and asked what i wanted and i asked him the cost of a bird and he answered rudely and ran to the back room. i continued looking around. i asked him the fee of a different bird that only had a monthly amount listed. and he got mad and said anymore questions you have very rudely. i asked him if there was a limit on questions and he said if you have questions go to pet co. i was only asking the cost of the birds but he seems to be in a different type of business and not interested in the birds or selling them. hmmm. avoid this place at all costs. i feel sorry for all the poor animals he has caged up in this dirty place. how is he still in business? he also has signs everywhere saying pictures are prohibited. he had the time to post these signs all over the place but no time to post little information sheets about the pets he is selling? weird

hear me out. i’m selling a cell phone in arizona and some dude texted me and said he’d pay me $ 200 more than what i was asking to have it sent to 7945 Broadway Suite A, Lemon Grove CA. I called this store and the guy who answered (different voice) confirmed that Lemon Grove Pets is in suite A. The dude «paid» me through paypal but it didn’t show up. He said that once i provided him with a tracking number then the payment would go through. needless to say, the email i got from «paypal» was not paypal. Somehow I think this guy is in cahoots on this scheme or the Mobile phone company right next door in Suite B. Shady regardless of how it’s really being done

This place is disgusting. Shut it down. LIVING things being kept that way is just wrong. This place lacks animal husbandry skills. Peta where are you?

Omg! The stench. it stinks so bad in there and dirty. One the fish tanks has a fish in it and water is extreme dirty. Poor fish.

Went to the this place the other day and i honestly cant belive this store is in business due to the conditions inside and the unfair treatment of the animals. As i was looking forward to seeing the inside my mind was changed when i was greeted with an overwhelming smell but the second you walk in thers two large parrots, one of these parrots was laying on its side and looked very depressed, purchase due to the fact this 1ft and a half tall parrot is in a cage way too small making it unable to flap its wings or even stand in copurchasemfort. As you walk deeper into the hallway the space becomes limited and very cramped and the smell gets worse when you though it couldent… thers a small section of fish and then another section of birds, still feeling horrible for the parrot in the front i dident think it would reveal more very very questional treatment that i dont agree with, ther were bird cages pretty much on the floor with cages on top and the lighting dosent help at all to brighten up the cages on the bottom, the cages are stacked up like boxes. As i moved through the birds back to the hall i noticed the rest of the store was blocked off with a chain and some shelves to ensure a customer could not move through wich was extremely odd, i hope ther wasent a dead animal… clearly they were more animals for purchase, i was able to see a cat and then another cage of parokeets basicly over populated for its size, after reading the reviews i assume it was because of those reasons. i was now paying much much more attention to the conditions and realizing this whole establishment needs some serious help it was like walking through a mummys pyramid for the amount of cobwebs and old spider webs ther were — DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU ARE RESCUING AN ANIMAL– This place needs a serious inspection and the owner needs to re-​evaluate his business practice. The birds and other animals i encountered here looked sadly unhealthy and could really use some genuine love. I recomend evryone to visit this store to experience the level of conditions and poor quality treatment. I belive these animals need to be relocated to better more providing pet stores, i feel horible for these animals

If it can be helped, please do not come here. It is extremely stuffy and hot, and the animal cages are tiny. I came in, looking for a chinchilla cage, and was in complete shock to see 8 chinchillas in to a cage. Not only did they not have enough space, the flooring was wired without any bedding which is extremely harmful for small pets and can give them arthritis. Chinchillas also need regular exercise, but it seemed they were left in there for long lengths of time. The extreme heat was also a problem for chinchillas can die at anything above 75 degrees.
The kittens were also in their cages that barely seemed ventilated and were laying next to their own feces. It seemed as though they never got out of their cages.
All in all, I do not believe this place is suitable for caring for animals. I would think that someone who owned a pet store would love pets and know a lot about accurate pet care, however the owner here seems extremely disengaged and his lack of the love and care towards animals is completely apparent.
I would give negative stars if I could. Please do not support businesses like this who do not care for the animals.

I am horrified by this store. It seemed ok from the front, but as I walked further back it became very dismal. Extremely dirty fish tanks, very crowded cages, and the worst was seeing a bunch of chinchillas that had no bedding and a chicken laying on it’s side. The Cage was so small it wasn’t able to fully stand. These animals are suffering-​imagine spending your whole life naked on top a a chain link fence. You know something is wrong with you aren’t allowed to take pictured. On person who worked there was in a fog & didn’t even step aside for me to walk past in the hall– the other wouldn’t answer my questions and ran to hide in the back. Please boycott this place and even better report them to the human society and the sheriff. The place also blasts music at the animals all day & doesn’t smell clean.
