Pet store in Auckland

“Pak’nSave Silverdale is a well-sized, tidy store that serves the wider Hibiscus Coast area and does a solid job of it. It’s not flashy or overly modern, but it’s practical and clean, with that familiar warehouse-style layout that Pak’nSave is known for. If you’re after low prices without the bells and whistles, it ticks the right boxes. The store is spacious and easy to navigate, even during busier times. Aisles are wide, shelves are usually well-stocked, and signage is clear enough to help you find what you need without wandering too much. The overall vibe is no-frills, but things generally run smoothly and efficiently. Prices are sharp across the board — groceries, meat, produce, and household items all come in at the lower end, especially if you keep an eye out for specials. The fruit and veg section can be a bit hit or miss depending on the day you visit, but most of the time it’s decent. The meat section usually has a good range at affordable prices, and the bakery offers the basics like bread, rolls, and a few sweet treats. Staff are usually around if you need help, but it’s a typical Pak’nSave setup — more of a DIY experience. Most people are just in and out, focused on the shop, so don’t expect high-touch service. That said, checkout lines move fairly quickly and self-service options help if you’re only picking up a few things. The carpark is decent with a fair amount of space, though it can get full during peak shopping times, especially weekends. The location is handy too, close to other shops in the area, so it’s easy to tick off errands in one go. As with other Pak’nSaves, the online listings don’t always match what’s in-store, so it’s best to go in with a flexible list rather than expecting everything to be there. Overall, Pak’nSave Silverdale is a dependable local spot. It’s not fancy, but it’s clean, roomy, and delivers on what really matters — saving money. If you’re in the area and want to stock up without spending too much, it’s worth the stop.”

“Best pharmacy & Amazing customer service. Walked in for a booster shot and didn’t had to wait at all. Unfortunately didn’t get the guys name but he definitely did an amazing job as I didn’t even feel any pain. Efficient, friendly and very welcoming place. Highly recommend.”

“Very helpful friendly team, precriptions are always ready to be picked up when we need them. Thankful we have a professional chemist in our community to support us.”

“Excellent customer service and fast prescription today took 10 mins for two items at 11am offpeak on Monday 28/11/22. You have a new customer in me. I'm coming to you from now on. It always takes Chemist Warehouse Westgate & Manukau Ronwood 30 minutes to do my prescription even in offpeak times. Thank you ladies for helping me today with my prescription and posting my Christmas card to family in America. Keep up the great work!!! You are all appreciated. Cheers Verdun & Fiona Beth.”

“I have been going to Commodore Pharmacy for 18 months after moving to Auckland. I want to do a big shout out to Sharron and her team! They always greet me with a smile and a 'Hi how are you?' they have always looked after me and guided me with products in store. Just recently Sharron has kindly donated a gift for a fundraiser I am supporting. Thanks Ladies you do an awesome job!”

“I visited as I had forgotten to bring some of my medication with me on our recent trip. The staff were so helpful I had to leave a review. Really appreciated the service and highly recommend. Nice products available in store too.”

“Great advice and help from Eui-jin, he asked good questions, recommended the right product, and a week later huge improvements in my health. Highly suggest you visit Unichem Ponsonby (Three Lamps end of Ponsonby Rd).”

“Big shoutout to Keziya! She was super helpful, answered all my questions, and made the whole visit really easy. Friendly, approachable, and happy to help, made our day a bit brighter. Cheers for the great service, Keziya!”

“Super yummy! The gnocchi is absolutely delicious, got it with the creamy avocado and chicken sauce. The pizza is also great, plentiful with toppings and great portions!”

“Great supermarket.. prices are reasonable and they sell everything. Staff are nice and friendly”

“Great pharmacy. Like the local chemist in the 1960s. Joseph goes the extra mile - literally - on more than one occasion he has delivered the remainder of a script to our address on foot.”

“Feels like the 1990's throughout but we did more and more of our shopping to try and behave locally before heading out upon Lake Rd traffickle to le other supply chain supermarket what with duopoly arbitrage.Its inspiring in there if you have the time and the champagne tastings help.We'll be back .”

“Every time I visit this pharmacy I am reminded how great they are and how much value they provide. I have only ever had great service as well as awesome advice from all who work there. My feeling is that they do have their customer's best interests at heart and they always are friendly and efficient. I also find their prices competitive and reasonable.”

“Clean environment !! Lovely younger staff, made me feel welcome”

“Very friendly staff and efficient service. Free prescription. They open Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm. Opening on Saturdays is convenient for people with normal working hours. Alex and the lady at the counter are so kind and caring, they always find the right sized containers for you to carry the medicines if there are too much. Highly recommended and definitely 5-star service.”

“They cool shopkeepers. Awesome service, Tidy, kind, well stocked... Keep it going Waimahia. Going to miss living around this area”

“Very friendly and helpful shop person, ordered in an extra scat mat for us and it was there ready for us to pick up the next day. Top pet store!”

“Friendly, helpful and the chemist's knowledge is very good.”

“Chemist warehouse Milford is a fantastic resource, huge range of products and unlike any pharmacy I’ve ever been to. The most important aspect for me is the amazing pharmacist. Taymoor is super professional, friendly, helpful and really goes out of his way to make sure you feel informed and safe. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now!”

“Just the best pharmacy for my monthly medi pack prescriptions. Andria is worth her weight in gold.”

“Best pharmacy in Avondale. Although the pharmacy itself is a little old and dated, it is made up for by Leni (the pharmacist), who provides the best service. He has a wonderful manner, and is always willing to help and go the extra mile for all his patients.”

“This is my go-to pharmacy and I'm really happy with it overall. It's fast, affordable, and super convenient. Free scripts are a massive positive, the pharmacists inform you on the wait time so you can squeeze in a quick shop on the side too. During lockdown, they allowed me to pick up medicine from the front of the store (no queues) and are fine with others collecting your script if you call first. I've never had an issue with having scripts directly faxed or bringing them in myself. The manager there (I think his name is Tom) works hard to make picking up scripts as painless as possible, he's friendly and fast. I'm not exactly a pharmacy connoisseur but I like this one a lot.”

“I find Pestrol a pleasure to deal with. Their customer service is of a high standard, patient, polite, respectful, friendly & helpful. I find high standards in customer care not as common as it used to be with people not being able to focus & answer questions fully, but that is not the case here! They also include free gifts for orders over certain amounts (which I didn't know, so when my parcel arrived it felt like Christmas)! I wish the women who serve me by email & phone get well deserved pay raises. Due to all these positives, I will remain a loyal customer in future - I have no reason not to.”

“Super easy and friendly staff. My cat Simba was purring during her general check up so must be a good sign the vets love what they do :) Will be back again!”

“The shop offers a wide range of products at competitive prices, and currently, many items are on discount, making it a great time to buy. The store is well-organized, so it’s easy to find exactly what you need.”
