The 5 Best Pet Shops in Karama to Keep Every Tail and Fin Happy
Sometimes, it’s not nightmares that drag me out of bed at 3 AM—it’s my cat going full opera by his empty food bowl.
Lesson learned: always keep your pet essentials stocked. You don’t want them staring you down with hunger, trust me.
To make everyone’s lives easier, we’ve rounded up the best shops in Karama that our team actually checks out. These are the spots my fellow pet owners and I hit up when it’s time for a proper restock.
How much does shopping at pet shops cost in Karama?
Shopping at pet shops in Karama usually costs somewhere between AED 20 and AED 200 for everyday items like food, treats, and basic accessories.
1. Flora and Fauna Aquatic & Live Animals Trading L.L.C
Address: Shop 3, Wasl, Opal building
Phone: +971 56 152 9398
Business hours: Monday to Sunday: 9 AM – 11 PM
Our team went through Flora and Fauna Aquatic & Live Animals’ offerings—the brands they stock, and what customers are actually saying. The picture that forms seems pretty consistent.
They have a strong identity, especially if you’re into aquariums. Customers keep mentioning how impressive their tanks, setups, and aquatic displays are.
The staff gets a lot of credit for knowing their stuff. They patiently explain things, offer solid advice, and help shoppers figure out what will actually work.
But they also offer beyond what your fish might need. You can also find some stuff here for your cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds.
When we checked the brands they offer, they have stock of trusted brands like Royal Canin and Duvo Plus.
Add the fact that they accept Visa, Mastercard, and Apple Pay, and you’ve got a shop that’s trying to be as accessible as possible.
The biggest weakness is stock delays. They generally carry a lot, but when they don’t have a specific item you’re hunting for, you might be waiting a while for their supplier to come through.
The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and they answered all my questions
“I had an amazing experience at Flora and Fauna Aquatic! The store has an impressive variety of aquatic supplies, from vibrant fish and unique plants to high-quality tanks and equipment. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and went out of their way to answer all my questions, ensuring I found exactly what I needed for my aquarium…”

The perfect place if you have an aquarium at home

2. Precious Paws Pet Spa
Address: Shop 10, Khalil Al Sayegh Building, Behind Haji Ali Juice Centre, Near Lamcy Plaza
Phone: +971 4 397 7788
Business hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 10 AM – 9 PM
- Sunday: 1 PM – 9 PM
More than a typical supply shop, Precious Paws Pet Spa doubles as a grooming haven. The convenience is part of the appeal.
Customers can drop their cat or dog off for a grooming session. While they’re at it, they can restock on everything: food, treats, toys, and scratchers.
We also find it reassuring how they put a lot of thought into each item. They make sure everything is safe, comfortable, and of high quality.
They can even deliver your supplies anywhere across the UAE if you’re the busy type.
Customer experiences also revealed how helpful the staff are. When products are missing, broken, or unavailable, the team can provide a solution.
Sometimes, they’d arrange a replacement or a refund. There were even times when they ordered the item in.
But this shop isn’t for every type of pet parent. Their world revolves around cats and dogs. If you’re an exotic pet owner, you might have to look for somewhere else.
I couldn’t be more pleased with the high-quality products they offer
“This pet shop is truly fantastic! For almost two years, I’ve been bringing my two beloved cats here, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the exceptional services and high-quality products they offer. From grooming to nutrition, they cater perfectly to my pets’ needs, making it a reliable choice for pet care.”

The owners and staff are super friendly
“What a lovely place for pets. Bought some treats and fun toys too! The owners and staff are super friendly, and they absolutely love every pet that comes in. Usually, pets are scared of grooming, but at Precious Paws, all of the pets looked happy and at ease during and after grooming. Mine wouldn’t stop wagging his tail and liking the staff…”

3. Feathers and Fins
Address: Shop Number 10, Wasl Hub Building
Phone: +971 56 952 6172
Business hours: Monday to Sunday: 10 AM – 11 PM
Feathers and Fins is for anyone passionate about aquatics and birds. When we visited their store, it was clean, organised, and run with care. We got the feeling that it’s a place where the animals genuinely matter.
We were also very impressed with the variety. They’ve got everything from whatever your goldfish might need to a bird section that feels like a mini rainforest.
The staff are also very smart, especially with anything about aquatic life. Their team knows the stuff when it comes to filtration, water cycling, lighting, and even aquacaping.
They can make a beginner look like a pro and still have advice up their sleeves for seasoned hobbyists.
What’s even better is that they can set up a custom tank for your living room or office. Prices won’t make your wallet cry either.
However, if you’re looking for a place for your furry pets, this isn’t it. They live and breathe fish and birds here.
The staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable
“Feather and Fins is a fantastic shop for any aquarium enthusiast! They have a great selection of healthy, vibrant fish and a wide variety of tanks, plants, and accessories. The staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable – always willing to answer questions and give advice, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned aquarist. The store is clean, well-organised, and clearly run with care. I always leave with confidence in my purchases. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start or upgrade their aquarium!”

Friendly and great customer service

4. Aqualand Aquarium & Pet Food
Address: Shaikh – Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed St
Phone: +971 50 370 0209
Business hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 9 AM – 11 PM
- Friday: 2 PM – 11 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: 9 AM – 11 PM
From what we gathered, Aqualand Aquarium & Pet Food is quick and reliable.
One customer shared that he needed a UVA/UVB light for his turtle, and the shop’s team made sure that it landed on his doorstep the same day.
Step inside, and it’s obvious they take cleanliness and organisation seriously. Shelves are neat, tanks are sparkling, and the layout makes browsing simple even if you’re new to fishkeeping.
We also loved that they don’t just sell here. They take the time to explain the hobby, give practical advice, and match you with the right gear for your fishy friends.
On the flip side, Aqualand isn’t exactly the bargain hunter’s paradise. Some of their pricing can feel steep.
Their pet food selection for dogs and cats exists too, but it’s limited. So if you’re hoping to stock up on a wide variety of brands, you might need to plan a detour.
Best pet food and pet accessories in Karama

5. Famous Aquarium and Pets Dubai
Address: 261 Oud Metha Rd – Umm Hurair Second
Phone: +971 55 101 3468
Business hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 9 AM – 12 AM
- Friday: 9 AM – 12:30 PM, 1:45 PM – 12 AM
- Saturday to Sunday: 9 AM – 12 AM
Famous Aquarium and Pets Dubai seems like a normal pet shop at first until you actually talk to the staff. Then you realise you’ve walked into a space run by people who truly love pets (especially fish) and treat the place like their own hobby zone.
One customer shared a story about coming in with a filter issue. He expected some quick advice and instead got a staff member who went to his house to help fix it.
It’s not normal retail behaviour, but it lines up with what other people said too. They take aquarium care seriously.
Despite the name and the aquariums around them, they’re not just for fish folks.
There’s a compact but useful corner for cats, dogs, and birds. It’s enough to grab essentials like food, treats, and vitamins. Not massive, but practical if you’re already in the shop or nearby.
Delivery is available, and yes, there’s a fee.
You also have to remember that prices lean toward the higher side. It’s the most consistent criticism we saw.
People who work here really care about the job
“For those who are around BurDubai, this store is great for your aquarium needs, has a good variety of fish and aquatic plants. They deliver to the locations with a delivery fee, but it’s worth it, as the only downside is the drive. This area is always congested with traffic. The only easy time is morning and after 9 pm. They are open till 12 midnight. People who work here really care about the job and feel like they do it as their own hobby. They will help you with the information needed for most of the topics on maintaining an aquarium.”
