About the Business

In 1972 the late Mr Piet Stassen opened the doors of a tiny shop on Voortrekker Road dealing in mostly gardening equipment. But his hobby (and passion for) birds could not be contained and led to the humble beginnings of Panorama Pet Shop. Today Panorama Pet Shop boasts a 700 sq meter double storey building with Oom Piet’s beloved birds of all shapes and sizes still taking centre stage on the ground floor. This is also the place where Cape Town’s top racing pigeon experts meet. The top floor houses an extensive aquatic section, as well as a selection of small rodents and exotic reptiles. We’ve always had a policy of not selling cats and dogs, but we do cater for all their needs and wants with accessories in the latest trends.
