Now under new ownership- we have been making some great changes and updating much of the store. Please stop in and see what's new!
My wife and I grew up in Harford County so we know the face of change. The House of Pets has definitely changed. The staff is friendly, the new owner Nate is knowledgeable and helpful, and the store gets cleaner and cleaner each time we visit as management revamps the store: despite this slow economy. The animals appear well cared for and the holding pens for the kittens and puppies are up to par with pet shops twice their size. The fish selection is amazing, the snake and iguana section looks like the reptile house at the Baltimore Zoo, the bird selection is extensive, and their prices make me feel like I'm pet shopping at a big box store! We moved to Bel Air and still drive to Aberdeen for pet supplies. Bottom line: good selection and value + a fun, clean environment where you're treated like family = customers for life!!!

I have lived in Aberdeen for over a decade now and House of Pets WAS one of the worst pet shops I had been to. The manager as he has already stated has changed the store and this is true. This store has made dramatic improvement. It also has one of the most diverse selections of animals of all ages. The employees work hard but their not superheroes so you should expect some degree of mess. The animals of old age there are from many of my neighbors and they got that old out of loving care not because the owner is trying to rip you off.

I went to this place other the past weekend. They had one female puppy and the cage it was in was a disgrace. If i hadn't already had two full grown dogs in a townhouse i would have taken her home. The honeycomb light cover was broken and she could stick her head through it, almost got it stuck twice. Not to mention the hunk of metal hanging from the top corner of the cage that she had been chewing on!! I showed one of the employees there and he immediately moved her into a cage with no working light. Yea that's better for her. Then when someone asked to see her, he brought her out with no collar and no leash on and she started running circles around the store!! what happens the next time when she runs out the door. Maybe if you people had half a heart to take the dog outside once every couple of hours she may not have been so wound up. Me being the dog lover I am crouched down and she ran right over to me. Someone needs to go up there and rescue this poor dog..shes been there for a month and i believe she is priced at about $299.00. If anyone has a heart and can afford to help this puppy (17 weeks old on 03/21/09) please go up and see her.. she is precious!! And you can say this place has changed all you want but everything is still just as dirty as it was before. The fish tanks are dirty and the living spaces for the animals are dirty!!

First of all, this store rarely has young pets for sale, most of the time its older pets that the owner gerts from breeders that no one bought. Secondly, they are WAY overpriced for what they offer. Thirdly, we ended up buying a kitten/young cat once more out of pity and trying to rescue the darn thing--the cage was filthy and the cat looked almost neglected. When we brought him home, we found that he had a big flea prroblem and ended up having to bomb the house. I also have friends who went there after calling ahead to see if they had any kittens. They were told they had one and they would hold it for 2 hours. My friend showed up 30 min later and people were walking OUT THE DOOR with the kitten....my friend had driven 20 miles to get there, for nothing. The OWNER was not even a little bit apologetic. Which brings me to the people-not ALL of them are bad, but the owner is snotty and acts likes she's better than everyone else-they are extremely overpriced for what they offer.
