Vets Pets Inc. Small pet store in El Cajon. We cater to the salt water, fresh water, and reptile community. Every week the store owner Chris, makes the drive to L.A.

(Disclaimer: We are not a veterinary clinic)

Vets Pets has been around since 1993 and we have always strove to serve our customers in the best way possible. Our primary concerns are that the animals we sell go to good homes where they can thrive, and that our customers have the best possible experience in the hobby. We are constantly researching and learning so that we may better educate our customers and never mind spending the extra time to make sure hobbyists, both new and old, have the best possible information. It's a point of pride for us when our customers have success with their aquariums, vivariums, and terrariums (and we always love to see healthy and happy critters). to visit the wholesalers; cherry picking coral, salt water fish, and fresh water fish, to bring back and acclimate into our system. We prefer to keep the new additions for at least a week to both quarantine for disease and make sure they are eating and adapting well to our hobbyist environment before sending them home to yours. Come visit us at our brick and mortar location in El Cajon, leave us a message here or on Instagram .pets.inc ✨
