Marsh hall Kennel provides security for companies, factories, go downs, theatres, apartments, banks, commercial complex, homes and hotels. Marshall Kennel also caters to old age homes for dogs, boarding/ hostel (while you're on a holiday), training, stud service and maintenance. Marshall Kennel has pups for sale, pet accessories, pet medicines, pet food, pet cosmetics and pet vaccines. I have heard good reviews from pet owners and have personally visited their stall at an exhibition. They have a pet black Labrador who is very well looked after. If you're a genuine dog from Vizag or neighbouring town/ city, and looking for a pet dog, then this is the place to go.

2. Babu's Pet's World
ANU Avicultural Farms and Coastal Kennels

Address:
Spencer's Hyper Market,
Behind LB College,
Resapuvanipalem,
Vizag.
Phone: +91-9348133777

They also have a branch at:
Babu's Pet World
Old Jail Road
Opp. Vidyardhi College
Vizag.

They provide pups, bantams, love birds, turkeys, African love birds, rabbits and guinea fowl.
This pet store also provides imported bird cages.

I have personally visited this store which is right outside the Spencer's outlet, next to the entrance. Its quite a pitiful condition the way the pups are kept, they look sad. A person who is fond of dogs will know immediately whether he/ she should pick up a dog/ bird from here. I leave the decision up to my readers. However, you may check the other brand on Old Jail Road.
