Hello, I have read and understand everyones comments and reviews. I am one of the people that works here now. Yes, Cindy is still in charge but, it is under different management in the store. If you were to walk in Monday-Saturday, you will find Craig. He runs the building every day. I am there Tuesday-Saturday helping him with just about everything. The business did indeed used to be a bad place when I first went there. Then, one day I came in and Craig was there. A few weeks later, he asked for my help around the store. He is very helpful with the products and animals and if he is asked a question and doesnt know the answer, he will ask me or look it up and truly will get back to you on that. Also, if there is a specific animal you are looking for, he now has a pad that he writes down your name, the breed of animal, if you are looking for a specific sex, and your number. He doesnt leave you hanging. I help with puppy shots as well. And when you buy puppies, he will tell you if they have already recieved a first shot or not and when the next shot is due. If they need the shot that day when you buy them, he will do it right in front of you. It is a lot better without Cindy constantly around and especially since she is still around doing some management, she gets calls about pups that will be coming in or any animals at all and calls Craig so he knows. She is sometimes in the store (very rarely) but, it is a much nicer store. Wed love for anyone to come in and re-check, or just check around for the first time! Wed love to help even if it has nothing to do with OUR animals. Questions, concerns, whatever. But, any tips on grooming, you can always ask me!:) Other than the store, I also have experience with many animals and have taken an Animals Science, Veterinary Science, and grooming class(es) in New York and have done internships at veterinary hospitals, grooming shops, etc. And I personally own 3 ball pythons (1 albino), a Texas Long Nose, a Black Rat Snake, a Rosy Boa, a shephard/Pitbull, 3 cats (from the pet store), and have also owned 2previous dogs from the pet store who are now in new loving homes because my big pup is just too rough with the smaller breeds. But, both of them were healthy. And all 3 of our cats are fantastic. 2 siblings and one newer kitten. Plus, the 3 non-python breed snakes are from the pet store and our largest python is from the pet store and he was free for me to bring home to see if he is alright and if he was just too nevvous there. He had nit been eating and needed to shed and now is a great part of the family but, still hasnt eaten so we are currently trying other foods than rats and mice. So please, any questions of any sorts, please stop in and ask! Even to sell us new breeds of animals!:) Thank you so much and have a GREAT day! Open Monday - Saturday 11AM-6PM and closed for lunch 1PM-2PM

I bought a female bearded dragon from The Pet Store and took it back within the same hour because the one I already had didnt get along with the new one. The owner said that she would sell it for me and contact me when the bearded dragon was sold to give me my $200 back. After a couple of months I went back to check on her and she had a sold sign on her cage. When I asked the owner about it she said she forgot to call me and she would write my check. She did, but it was only for $100. When I asked where the other $100 was she said she was keeping half of the profit. Then when I was leaving two girls asked to hold a puppy. The owner said, "Are you in the market or just wanting to hold the puppy?" I found that to be very rude. I went home and found the signed agreement where she wrote that she would give me $200, so I took the check and the agreement back to her and she was very rude. While she wrote me the check for $200 she kept making smart remarks saying I did good there, that she had to take care of the bearded dragon for free for those few months, she said she was just trying to help me out and I screwed her over, and was asking why I would think that she would give me the full amount back. She didnt tell me she was only going to give me half of the profit back the day I took her back. The owner is rude and just wants money. I will not be doing business with her anymore and I do not recommend her to anyone!

This "Pet Store" is best described as a death trap. All of the reptiles had mites, did not have proper lighting, undertank heat, nor the proper substrate. The water bowls(if there was one) hadnt been cleaned in what looked like weeks. I purchased a snake there about a week ago and had to treat him for external parasites. He was way underweight, and readily took the first meal I offered. I was told he was "nice," well of course a snake is nice if it is so cold that it can barely move. Once I got him home, and up to a proper temperature and humidity, he is much more feisty. No complaints on the temperament. However I returned the next day to purchase another 2 snakes just to rescue them from this disease infested facility, and I was told they were no longer for sale, even though there was still price tags on the enclosures. DO NOT purchase any animals from this store unless you are prepared to invest tons in vet bills, or possibly even have that animal perish. The owner is very ignorant about all of the animals she is attempting to sell. Take your business elsewhere! This pet store is nothing but a money maker, and she does not care for the wellbeing of the animals whatsoever.

I Bought a Jack Russel Terrier at Your Pet Store on Sunday January 25, 2009 We took him to the vet, and we gave him a shot for tape worms. YES, he had worms, Not only does he have worms, We are now fighting for his life, HE HAS PARVO VIRUS!!!! More than likely he will die. But were not giving up. THE PARVO VIRUS will stay in a contained area 6-8 months in the right condition, THAT MEANS if any puppy is ever in that shop, he will more than likely get parvo if he has not had its shots, which means ALL the puppies in that shop right now have PARVO VIRUS!!!! these disgusting people do not keep that store in the right condition. I AM GOING TO DO ANYTHING I CAN TO BRING THEM DOWN. I WILL CALL AND COMPLAIN TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THE HUMANE SOCIETY, AND ANYBODY ELSE I CAN TO BRING THIS HORRIBLE, UNDESERVING WOMAN DOWN. PLEASE, HELP ME DO THIS. CALL AND CALL AND CALL, AND TAKE ACTION IF YOU NEED TO. THIS IS CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. AND THIS IS ABSURD, I CANT BELIEVE THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO ABOUT THERE BUSINESS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE!!!!!!! I will devout my own time to bring them down, and I wont stop til shes out of business for the rest of her life!!!
