Hello.

I have looked at 4 pet shops in Larnaka to find quality food for my tortoise and my dog but the food they sell are bad/low quality. I know this because I have researched the brands and the reviews are awful.

I live in Larnaka and I am really losing hope that I will find a place where I can buy quality foods for my pets. Do you know of any good pet shops here in Larnaka which you think would be worth a look?

I am really desperate and frustrated to find a quality-stocked pet shop here in Larnaka...

Your help will be deeply appreciated.

There's one on 1st April Street at the top end nearer the roundabout.
Directions:- From Cineplex, head towards Faneromeni Church. You'll come to a roundabout with the Dance school on the left hand side. Turn left and there is a petshop around 100M on the left hand side.

There is also a new petshop that has opened opposite Pissarides.
Directions:- From the Port in Larnaca, head towards Debenhams. You'll pass Carrefour on the right, keep going straight. You'll see Hadjikyriacos on the right, go past it, over the lights then the next set of lights, turn right (The ones directly before Debenhams). Around 200M there is a double size petshop. Failing that. another 300-400M further up, there is another petshop, though got to say, looks like a dump from the outside.

If you have just moved to Cyprus please keep in mind our weather before you buy any dog food depending to what is your dogs breed but make sure that you don’t feed him a high protein food or you will have a lot of problems with his skin and growth.

I don't feed my dog with commercial food, he is on a raw meat and bones diet, and when I had a tortoise he only had raw food too - I didn't know you could get tortoise food!! Whats in it?

Your dog dose not get all the ingridians he needs only from raw meed and bones he needs match more for a healthy diet.
Depending if your tortoise are they water or land.
If their water tortoise small shrims in dry state with minerals and vitamins if their land fresh vegetables( not all are suitable) and dry subliments of minerls and vitamins.

Thanks! My dog does get other things as well - but fresh - not ready made. I have seen the ingredients on some of the so called "vet approved" diets and no way is my dog getting any of that!! He is 6 years old and very fit and healthy. What is your dog like?

AS long as your pet is ok then all is well.
I have three dogs a german shep.. a lab.. and a stray I have rased them all on dry food and family left overs.
They are all very healthy as well so you see is what they are used to as long as its the right thing.

I have lived in Cyprus all my life!

I have also visited the pet shop Ttomis suggested but they sell the same food as in Love Birds, Bento Kronen, lowest quality food ever! It even includes euthanized animals according to my research.

Hazza, I have never heard of that place, I will have a look! Thanks!

Hello conmarios! I have in fact gotten some baby tortoises from her, I also have an adult male, I am looking mainly for an adult female for him to pair up with. He is very hyper, and it's very little in breeding season. He needs a nice big lady to calm him down. If I will go tortoise hunting again I will be looking in pet shops where they sell big tortoises, if you have any idea please let me know! I am looking for the following brands: Wellness Core, Taste of the Wild, Solid Gold, Orijen, Instinct and Innova EVO.
These are 6 star dog foods and I am looking to feed my dogs the best! If you can help me find a pet shop where they sell these brands, conmarios, please inform me!

tessintrnc, forget dog food, raw meat and bones is a really great and natural dog diet. I just don't have the time to prepare this diet as I have lots of animals to care for... Your dog must be very healthy!

I keep land tortoises, I do feed them natural foods but in the Summer there are no plants that are nutritious for tortoises, so I decide to feed them some a vegetable mix but with tortoise food to keep them strong. Not all tortoise food are good quality though, if you should choose between natural diet and ready food I suggest you choose natural if it's easy for you. The problem with most ready food for tortoises is that it's low in calcium, but I use calcium powder on their food so it's not really a problem.

I have bought some tortoise food from Love Birds, I have known Love Birds for many years now as I live close to them! If I need them I go to them walking! But the tortoise food they sell is not always of good quality... I asked if they can order a different brand but they can't so I am always searching for something better.

Thank you all, I am looking forward to your reply!

PS. I remember once when I was at Love Birds, a truck came and unloaded some animals, including tortoises. If I knew what company they were or their phone number maybe I would be able to find a nice lady tortoise for my male. I have had him for 5 years and I know he is longing a female. Would any of you know of any animal suppliers? Specifically tortoise or generally reptile suppliers? Also, they should be selling their animals cheaper than the pet shop if I can track them down...

Thanks again!
