the store. I was promptly greeted and the store appeared very clean and organized upon entering. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the fish room and tanks. Fish appeared very bright and healthy, no sick or dead in any tank. The selection of fish was somewhat disappointing, only because I prefer African Cichlids and salt water. They seem to specialize on the more peaceful community types with a few exotics thrown in, they were all very nice. Some very nice rainbowfish, exotic plecos and discus are among those that stood out. For pricing, livestock and supplies rivaled those of the "big box" pet stores, even beating them in quality and price for some items. Good selection of dog,cat and bird supplies as well and pricing seemed very good in those areas as well. There were a dozen or so puppies for sale there, and as I usually suggest going first to a shelter for a pet, these puppies all seemed very active and healthy. Eyes were clear, no pot bellying, and all seemed clear of nasal discharge or cough. The pups also didnt seem to be over crowded in their play areas, and the bedding was clean and appeared dry. Overall I feel this is a very respectable store with owners and staff that truly care. I highly recommend this store for supplies and tropical fish / plants for those interested in non-chiclid type community fish and quality products at very reasonable prices. I will definitely go back. I have since gone back on two occasions and the above still holds true. I highly recommend this store.

Aquatic Dog is a business like any other. They will be sort of friendly upon your arrival and will happily accommodate your needs while you are making a purchase. However, after you hand over your money and leave the shop, pray that you do not have any complications with your merchandise, animal or product. If this should happen, they are no longer sort of friendly, they are no longer accommodating and they are no longer concerned with you as a customer. Their puppies are also like any other pet stores, they may be in good health, they may not be. So it might be worth your money to pay for additional testing during that first vet visit that will determine if your animal is ill with any common diseases that dont show symptoms for a while. A quick glance over by a vet will not detect any diseases that have yet to show symptoms, and once you get that clean bill of health, your iron clad contract will ensure that Aquatic Dog is not responsible for any slower-to-show-symptoms illness. Then your pet would have to die in order for Aquatic Dog to compensate you at all. Isnt that lovely? Like I said, they are a business like any other, out to make a profit, not create long lasting customer relationships. You would be better off to take your money elsewhere.

BAD SHOP OWNER They have a beautiful selection of fish you dont normally find at most pet stores. The tanks were well maintained so fish and plants were health. They were lacking some equipment and supplies, but they had the basics for the most part. However since Ive finished setting up my aquarium and got the one fish I could only find at aquatic dog, I probably wont ever go back there. The female shop owner seemed grumpy/having an off day my first trip in. She just seemed like it was a bother, or inconvenience for us to ask a lot of broad questions, and she would rather hurry us out the door as soon as possible. I kept going back because of the fish and 2 other males working there( which btw were very knowledgeable and helpful). But every time I came in she got to me first before the other 2. Every time she was the same way the day I went in the first time. Even trying to be polite and friendly with her had no affect. She must be one of those types who arent really people skilled. I would go back if I had a good enough reason to deal with that lady, but there are closer cheaper pet stores that carry more supplies and equipment.

We bought a puppy from this pet store one week ago. I know many people dont like to get puppies from a pet store, so that is a decision you will have to make. If you decide to go the pet store route, I have had a great experience with this store. I felt that the dogs looked happy and well looked after. The lady that worked there was very nice and patient with all our questions. She was not pushy at all and helped to make sure we were making an informed decision on breed. The price of the puppy includes a free vet exam, AND if the vet finds anything wrong, the pet store pays for any needed medications. Our little gal had a slight eye infection, and then the next day had kennel cough. The vet was awesome! All our meds and two visits were free! I personally feel that most dogs in a shelter/pet store/kennel are likely to pick up kennel cough, so that seemed reasonable to me. The little dog has only been with us for one week, so we will see, but so far she is confident, fun, independent, and very smart. We are very happy with our purchase.

I bought a cockapoo from Aquatic Dog one year ago. He was a wonderful dog with no health problems. Greg an Sheila were always helpful and seemed to know each of their puppies as individuals. I dont know about the quality of the breeders they use but my puppy was healthy and well socalized when I got him. Unfortunaly after 1 year he got out of our fenced yard and was killed by a car. I returned to Aquatic Dog for my next cockapoo puppy who is also healthy and well socialized. My sister got a Schnoodle from here who is also a happy healthy dog. I also have used this store when my kids were little for stocking the fish tank, taking care of hampsters, rats, and lizards. I have always found the owners helpful, friendly, and informed.

The owners Greg and Sheila and one of the employees AJ are wonderful people. I am new to fish keeping and they have been a wealth of knowledge for me. They truly care about and for the animals they are selling, as opposed to just trying to make a buck. If you are into fresh water fish they have a phenomenal selection. In fact, until I came to aquatic dog I had no idea how vast the selection could be. If you are looking for a Local Fish Shop that will take care of you, sell you healthy beautiful fish, give you excellent advise and customer service then go to Aquatic Dog. Its that simple. Oh...they also have a great selection of aquatic plants to choose from. The plants are almost as exciting as the fish! Enjoy!

This place is great! I went looking for freshwater fish supplies and it turns out that they specialize in freshwater community fish! If you want saltwater you wont find it here but they had an excellent selection of healthy and cool fish. Many I had never seen before. I asked about crown-tail betta and they told me they would order some extra crown-tails just for me to choose from. At my other local fish stores they just point to the tank with betta and tell me thats all they have. Plus they have a bunch of cute puppies and kittens as well. I almost left with a wiener dog when all I wanted were some fish...
