Welcome Animal City

A family owned business serving Connecticut for over 70 years. Since conception in 1933, animal city has been involved in the freshwater tropical fish trade. In early years, animal city was better known as HARTFORD AQUARIUM, but through the years has evolved into a full line pet store providing a vast variety of domestic and exotic pets, products, and knowledge.

Located in Vernon, Connecticut since 1984, animal city provides most everything from the tradtional hamster and goldfish to the more exotics including hedgehogs, chinchillas, and monitor lizards. The store offers an unparalleled selection of unique tropical freshwater fish and goldfish from all over the world, filling over one hundred fifty aquariums for your selection. Most animals are locally bred and raised, thus are not subject to various diseases commonly spread amongst commercial sources.

Animal City strives to provide beyond exceptional customer service with knowledgable staff. The owner, Lester, is usually on the premises and has over forty years of experience to draw on for answering questions. Please come by and visit for all of your pet's needs!
