They really really care for your pets. There is no limit to how they can help you. If there is a pet your wanting talk to John and his beautiful lovely wife. They can help you or know someone to help you. They breed Tortoises, and if thats not the coolest thing then ok but they do. You can get the babies from them or meet the parents and love on them. The males name is snoop he is literally the coolest tortoise Ive ever met. Hes so nice. They have all kinds of birds multiple rooms dedicated to birds. The people here are so friendly and nice. There is no such thing as a stupid question. If you are curious ask. The only way to learn is to ask. Are you know fish tanks? They can hook you up. Dont have what you want? Tell them. Theyll order it for you. Reptiles your thing? Go see them. Unlike certain chainstores (Ill be nice and leave them nameless) reptiles here arent sick, they are well fed and cared for. They are taken care of. THEY DO NOT HAVE MITES. I REPEAT NO WORRY FOR MITES HERE. My husband and I have a pet snake and this is the ONLY place we will get rats for him. His rats never have mites. (Unlike some chain stores) and unlike some pet stores he will happily sell you pets for feeding. I.e. Most stores dont want to sell mice to be fed they want to sell them as pets. Lets talk about their dog food for a moment. This is the one store you legit dont have to worry about any of the food. They dont sell crapy food. Most stores sell popular brands and cheap brands. Most stores dont give a crap about your pet, this one does. If the food isnt balanced and its healthy and good for the pets they dont stick it in their store. All of their products are that way. IF ITS BAD FOR ANIMALS THEY DKNT STOCK IT IN THEIR STORE!! They really really truly care for you and your pets. Do you have a pet rat? Take your pet to John, hell clip the nails for you. He genuinely cares for ALL the animals. No matter the purpose they are lives and he cares for them. If above isnt enough to convince you to go they are also a poke stop and a gym. They also have a giant dinosaur out front. They dress the dinosaur up for holiday events. So hey thats a cool thing to see. I highly recommend going to this shop. They have all kinds of animals. Ferrets, mice, rats, snakes, turtles, lizards, birds, bunnies, Guinea pigs, hamsters the list goes on. Also local breeders sometimes bring their litters. So sometimes kittens and puppies. But but. If there is something you want let him know. THEY DO NOT EVER CONNECT YOU TO A PUPPY MILL!!!!!! They connect you to real experienced professionals that have what your looking for. If your wanting a rag doll let him know. Odds are high he knows someone or some way to hook you up with what your looking for. Its a very very very nice couple that run the family business with their employees. If nothing else come check the place out. Come say hello to snoop and his girlfriend.

Awful in many ways! Upon entering the store I quickly realized this was not a pet store but rather someones poorly maintained hobby. The animals are kept in filthy conditions, borderline neglect in some cases. The reptiles have no heat source and their small enclosures are full of dried old food and feces. Dirty decorations and empty tanks were piled in the aisle around dirty old junk. Not to mention the prices are ridiculous. After standing around for 10 minutes with no one acknowledging my presence, I decided to ask the man behind the counter when new geckos would be coming in. Big mistake. He immediately jumped into explaining his personal financial woes and complaints about Obama to me. I tried my best to not be rude and let him make his way around to the point where he finally said "two weeks if I can make a credit card payment." A few moments of small talk about big chain pet stores and suddenly Im hit with this amazingly rude comment, completely unsolicited. After knowing me for a full 5 minutes, the owner explains to me that "what I cant understand are these stupid, atheist morons that come in here...If you use your intellect to decide there is no god then you are a **** loser, because Ive met him." Im glad this man had a spiritual journey that makes him happy (even if angrily bigoted) but how the conversation got from leopard geckos to insulting an entire group based on religious beliefs, I do not know. Becoming very uncomfortable with how this man had no idea that he was directly offending me, I thanked him for his time and left. This is a pet store(term used loosely), not a church. I ended up going to a big chain pet store where not only are the animals and habitats clean, I wont have to hear about which religious groups the employees cant stand. *Edit: After reading another REAL review of this place, and not just the fake ones used to boost the star rating, I discovered that not only is the owner complaining about me to other customers, he is lying and painting a picture of some great religious debate he thinks we must have had. 1. I never proclaimed to be an atheist or spoke a single word about faith or religion, at all. 2. I did not argue with this bigot about anything. 3. The only words I spoke after his unwarranted outburst were, "Thank you, anyway." and I left the store, a little sadder for the well-being of the animals and the lack of couth from my fellow human.

Every single time I walk in to your store, I find over 100 things that are either wrong or bother me to my core. Its never an enjoyable experience when my only thoughts are saving every poor life in there. And all the times Ive shown concern to any employee, they do not take notice or dont care to improve. Why own a pet store? I own 3 rabbits, never do I get any knowledgeable answers on the questions I ask that I already know the answer to. They sell them as breeds they are not. And rabbits do not go in with guinea pigs, Ive been told "Theyre good friends" when I ask why theyre together, google and youll see plenty of reasons why thats not okay. Hamsters, especially Syrian (teddy bear) do not live in groups. Let alone male and female together. Last time I visited, there were babies in with mom and two males??? Are you kidding? You seperate mom and babies from dad, but to have an additional male in there is asking for murder. Tanks are not for hamsters, no ventilation. And all the cages are always disgusting, broken, unsafe, or too small, but you sell adequate clean cages for profit, yet your animals live in horrid conditions? Makes sense. Your reptiles do not have the necessary heat, nor enough space. Youre not educated on half of what you sell. Many of your products are more expensive than Petsmart, a clean and well run chain. Thank goodness there are no cats and dogs being sold on top of this mess. I wont go into the birds, theres nothing good to say there as I know exactly how birds should be handled and taken care of being my dad was previously a successful breeder who wont even step foot into your store.. On top of that, when ever I do see cleaning going on, its not pet safe products. I would never buy food from you, or live food at that, its covered in toxins. Dont have so many different types of animals if you dont know how to treat them all individually. I just do not understand how such a place can still be up and running. Either get everything out, clean and renovate or do not continue to own your business. And Ill do without your response to my review filled with excuses and never any change. Ive lived here over 3 years, you guys have kept everything exactly how it is, unfit.
