I visit the Wallingford store about three times per week. This store features a brilliant setup. The pets are all along the outer perimeter and are attractively displayed. The inner portion of the store is chock full of supplies that are located adjacent to the relevent animals. Even though the store is large everything seems to flow. The prices are reasonable as they are but for a $40.00 membership I have saved at least $200.00 in the past 12 months! There is a respectable selection of reptiles. They are attractively displayed and seem to get constant attention by responsible staff. I have not found anyone to be rude, neglectful, or incompetent. Shelby, Melanie, Randy, Joe, and Sam tend to the reptiles, birds and small animals. They are very approachable and knowledgeable. I got my Bearded Dragon, "Spike" here. He is very healthy and alot of fun. The hand raised birds they have are amazing! The stores staff take pride in these birds by having them on open perches and keeping them fed, groomed, cleaned and socialized. The caged birds appear colorful and active. Next is the puppies. I got my Akita, "Kima" here. The Jesses (both of them) and Devin are always very helpful and friendly. My experience with Kima has been excellent. She is a very healthy, loving, beautiful and playful 10 month old dog! Next is the fish. This is another very respectable selection of beautiful animals appropriately cared for and housed for their size. Ed and a young lady and two young men have been very informative and courteous to my daughters and me on many occasions. We have a 75 gallon aquarium with cichlids that are thriving! There are negative sides to any business and if one is so inclined he might find something. Live animals can get sick and things can go wrong no matter how responsible the staff and the customers are. The politics of selling puppies can lead people to the negatives. This is a pet store that sells puppies. I can understand completely the visceral reaction this stirs in some people when the Meriden Humane Society is so full of wonderful animals that need a home today. Always visit MHS first! For personal reasons I chose to get my puppy from this store while adopting two needy cats from MHS. My daughter is a volunteer at MHS and I visit frequently. Kima was the right dog for me and she was at a pet store. I dont regret my decision because she is such a source of happiness in our lives! I want to add that I have visited pet stores where I feel so driven to rescue an animal or two or more because they are kept in inappropriate conditions. I have not had that feeling at All Pets Club in Wallingford. The staff are what makes this store so effective. My daughters and I always enjoy this store and our interactions with this staff!.

I just want to take this time out of my busy schedule to share my experience at wit Greg Watsman at The All Pets Club in Wallingford, CT I purchased a Ball Python from Pets Smart which I was happy with until nearly 2 months went by and my snake wouldnt eat! I tried once a week like I was told to do, I went by the store twice to share my concerns and was told "its normal for a snake not to eat, dont worry hes fine blah blah blah" 5 weeks went by and my baby snake still did not eat, And was pretty skinny. At this point Ive grown so close to my snake and very stressed out and worried I was to the point I was going to call out of work and spend a lot of money to have him seen by a vet. I decided to go into All pets Club and see what they recommended and thats when I met Greg! I explained my concern with my snake not eating, and he made it his mission to figure out why he wasnt eating for me. He spent over 45 minutes with me explaining the PROPER lighting and heating my snakes tank, he didnt just tell me what I needed to buy he explained the whys and why nots the very next night and 24 hours of proper lighting and heating I saw a huge difference in my snakes behavior, movement, and color. I bright him into the store where Greg again was there to assist me, and take a look at my snake. He spent almost and hour and 45 minutes with me, again, educating me with sooo much information that no google or magazine or snake keeper I know has! He took the time to try to feed him frozen thawed and even live. My snake still wouldnt eat but he was entrigued so I knew we were getting somewhere. Greg told me to take him home, continue the proper lighting and heating for a full week and try again. By day 4 I was worrying a little bit so I said what the heck Im gonna try again. I was beyond pleased with my experience he went above and beyond to try to help me, he was knowledgable, educated, patient with, I even handed him a tip and offered to buy him dinner and he wouldNt even take it from me! So, I did all that Greg told me to do and my snake FINALLY ate! Tonight I went into the store just to share my success, he remembered my name, my snakes name, and was just as happy as I was that my snake ate! Hes truly passionate about his career! I would never ever take the time to write a review but my experience was just THAT damn good! I cannot tell you enough how happy and satisfied I am with my service! So please keep Greg around!!! Hes the man!!! Thank you SO much!!
