Reviews of Animates Botany Downs
n.
Staff are amazing. Always helpful and incredibly knowledgeable with products and service. Keep up the good work team! From Me, Kingston, Cleo, and all our aviary birds! 🥰
D.
I constantly receive the most amazing customer service from this store. But today my expectations were exceeded. I was served by Edward, he is truly a customer service super star. He was knowledgeable in products and gave me several options. Such a great representative for Animates, well done having him on your team, he really is a star. Thanks once again Edward I really appreciated your help today.
J.
Customer service is a bit average here. The retail area has stock control issues (pandemic, so I get it - part of it at least). I'll try elsewhere before I come here, but will still come if I have to. Animates had a great idea with the "full service pet store" but the key to success with a concept like this is effective execution across all facets.
A.
Tried their Dog wash. Great idea. Easier than bathing the dogs at home.
J.
Thought I would place a review on Liz at the Botany store long overdue but extremely deserving a posit e review .After being help copious times different matters, equipment, food, worming and flea treatment Liz often quizzed me too ensure it was the correct product for correct animal, often this was done with a lovely smile, Liz is absolute delight to deal with honest, compassionate , informative with depth of knowledge and continues to learn and has a wonderful sense of humour. She is asset to the company
Reply to “Luciana Marin Review”
I was reading the reviewer by “Luciana Marin” what a nutter !!!! how can you be a racist by asking questions , sadly some people place reviews that should not be able too do so, the review reads to me as irrational and unbalanced in there intent of a review is malicious in my view. I hope the company responds in defence of Liz
And to be honest if you felt underlying sarcasm , most likely it was deserved.
I am also perplexed how one can say you were laughed at, as I thought mask wearing in the store was mandatory, maybe again a result thought process from a nutter and unbalanced person.
Y.
Polite staff members, lots of products which are usually all stocked. The thing is, it’s way too expensive. I can buy the same toy for way cheaper! 25 dollars for a little plush toy is not worth it, the duck toy sheds fur. Found the same toy at warehouse, which was 10 dollars. Impressed by the staff, but the prices are beyond expensive.
J.
I had a new litter of kittens and needed help as one of the kittens wasn't looking great. I had no idea what I was doing, I spoke with Liz on the phone and she gave me some incredible advice, and support around how to help the kitten and directed me to an amazing group, East Auckland Kitten Rescue who have since helped support the new litter with mum. Thank you Liz, you're amazing, so helpful, great advice.
N.
Michelle was very knowledgeable and very helpful about my fur baby harness.
Finally I found a right one for him.
Definitely going back there.
D.
Awesome place to get all your fur baby accessories. Wide variety of products.
Personal were so friendly and helpful.
Definitely going back there.

Jade was very knowledgeable and helpful about the choices of special dog foods. Shop is well laid out and with the friendly staff, a very pleasant place to shop for your pets! We have been regular customers for well over 10 years. Their rewards system is also very generous.
M.
Very friendly staff. A good place to earn points when you buy
A.
Great customer service. But I seem to always have issues with the fish I buy from here. Would rather go somewhere like Hollywood fish farm for live stock. But other than that, awesome store and I love going there.
D.
Friendly helpful staff and well stocked for all your pet needs.
S.
Always had fantastic service here! Awesome staff, great range of products. The dog wash is amazing. The vets in the same building is so so handy. It’s a one stop shop! Some items are quite pricey but there are normally cheaper alternatives in the lower shelves.

Friendly staff and well stocked shelves. And very helpful.
L.
Great staff .. very friendly.. And really good to Cuba (dog)🐶

Love the collection of animal food, toys and cleaning products. Staff are knowledgeable too. Sad thst they no longer have live animals available. Do miss seeing the birds, rabbits, mice and rats.
S.
Such helpful staff. The staff walked along with us guiding us what to buy, whats best for the breed & size & whats on special. This was very handy & highly appreciated for new fur parents.
R.
Extremely helpful and very friendly, bought some stuff for a new kitten (I'm a newbie) they gave me some complementary food to try out along with a free kitten booklet. Thank you so much.
A.

The vets have been great every time. Sadly we had to put our ol' cat down. It was handled with great care and sensitivity, and our lasting memories will all be good ones.
D.
Very good knowledge about fish. AAAA service
N.
The public toilet was clean.
Stock was low on rat food
J.
Great pet shop but many items were out of stock, believe they will recover soon! Very nice people who work there and they were really happy to help all the time!
d.
This review has been a long time coming. We LOVE coming here. Mostly (completely) because of the staff. Our dog is obsessed with EMILY! She is so good with our rottweiler, we can hand her the leash and walk away without a second thought. She is a thousand percent his animates mommy. The second we walk in Emily is there and our boy is In heaven. Also eed a shout out to Marc! He has been so much help, and I'm sure that man could be a veterinarian. The whole team are fantastic but those two need to be named as family to us.
S.
Came in last Sunday for the first time when they were about to close but still helped me out
Really nice and great customer service to two of the girls at the reception
Ended up with a membership
Doggo wash
And taking home few goodies for my girl
Thanks guys
E.
A very well stocked store with all things for pets together with fantastic service from the staff. We love the dog wash bays making a monthly chore so simple!!
C.
Staff are great! super helpful and love to assist you with anything :)
Could bring my furry friends along too!
A.
Shot to the bro that gave me and my sister and her best mate awesome help in explaining what halti to use how to use it correctly, even though we know how to use them hehe but he was clear, covered all bases, and wasn't a hoha hovering over us like some people do. Thanks team botany animates. Awesome staff and customer service from demonstrating right through to the checkout, appreciated the help!
V.
All foods, pets house alots different kinda animals who have it all in store but only display different kinds fish available only. No more like dog, cats or mice or birds no more in store but all animals move out wild life keep in together animals still available in shop or online search nz

M.
There are 2 Animates stores closer but the staff in this store are always happy to assist and are always pleasant. Thoroughly recommend Botany branch.
M.
Great selection of products and good staff but it's at the costly end if the spectrum
J.
Lovely, caring staff at Animates Vets. Very thorough with their service and communication. With the pet shop within the complex, it's a one-stop shop. Thanks to Amy & Alyce for treating & caring for Toby the Westie 😊
N.
Awesome staff, very helpful. Great selection and when they don't have stuff, they are more than happy to order it in
k.
Really friendly staff
D.
The best place. Staff are extremely friendly and very helpful the best customer service I have received from all the animates I have been too. Excellent..A+++
K.
Michelle was really helpful and honest. Have some problem with my fish tank and she gave us suggestions instead to make us waste money.
J.
Staff are always friendly in the shop. Vets is great. They do price match against NZ retailers, even online ones which means you can always get it for the cheapest price.
K.
Recommend vet and pet store get the same accounting system so no issue to pay after having a pet put down.
J.
Slightly overprized for my liking. If you are a member you can save quite a bit, so if you are regularly here I would definitely recommend the membership. Some of the staff are super friendly and helpful others simply just rude. Had good and bad experiences there regarding the service, so I guess its a bit of gamble.
B.
Samantha gave great service when I brought a seat belt harness for the dog (fur child.) Sam fit the harness and the dog's mother was very pleased. The dog also got some treats. Sam also gave directions to 2 other stores and gave great advice on what to buy there.
H.
stuffs are very friendly and they help out alot. you can see they very much care for pets when you talk to them.
A.
Great staff, always very helpful and professional to deal with
F.
Animates botany is a very good store I have spent many years going to for my pets to buy toys and treats they enjoy greatly. However, my family want to adopt a kitten and we inquired about one in the store and were told it would be available about 3 days later. This turned out to be untrue as the kitten was sold a day before the said date that worker liz, said. This was very upsetting as it felt we had been lied to. We then inquired about kittens that shared the same room with the kitten (which we were told the wrong genders of) and were told they were not available till the meet day. This seemed unusual as all 3 kittens were together and the one we wanted was allowed to sell prior to these. Whether it was miscommunication or lying, staff are otherwise very nice however I now second guess my trust.
G.
Great selection of products for all your pets. Convenient opening times and location. Also include a vet on the premises who do a great job looking after my cat and dog.
P.
Marc helped me today to get a setup for a fish and was amazing with his knowledge and customer service skills. Great worker and very helpful.
Y.
Love Animates. Minor rant is they do not sell pipettes for all their types of flea and worm treatments. They did sell the Broadline in pipette form but not the Advance so we went elsewhere for all. Just saying as we would have preferred to get them from our fav store Animates.
T.
Awesome service, friendly and knowledgeable staff with a great selection of pet products.
S.
Animates Botany is my go to branch for all of my fur babies needs ....... Wellness Core preium dog food NO WHEAT NO GRAINS NO CHICKEN BY PRODUCTS NO CANOLA Salmon & white fish great for dogs who are allergy prone and who scratch for no reason. Liz there is the best she know so much and fab in her role.
L.
They were awesome will b going back there again they washed my dog and cut his nails
S.
They are always good

Animates have what I think is the best click and collect process during lockdown. Collect same day, no contact, very easy!
N.
Great place for your furbaby.
M.
Great vets, reasonable pricing and a great service, very knowledgeable staff
A.

Staff always friendly and the on-site vet was very helpful with the chipping of my dog.
A.
People friendly and it is clean inside
S.
Service was quite slow, most of the staff seemed more concerned carrying on their conversations, before serving customers in store. Lunn Ave Animates is far better, both in service and product range.
P.
Very good service 👍

They have most of what you need for your pet from dogs, cats, rabies to your scaly friends. They have an on-site vet, but don't have a doggie was station, nor do they have groomers.
