Decent, if small, space and always clean (you would expect all those birds to smell bad!). The folks who work there are really knowledgeable about bird and reptile needs. Only downside is the price, which is a lot higher than the alternatives. But this is local and those are big box stores, so, if you can swing it, it's worth it.

Store is a small space packed with supplies and a bit chaotic. But have a great assortment of healthy pets and friendly knowledgeable staff.

I used to come here all the time when I kept and bred Bettas back in the early 90s. Sad to say it's gone downhill in the customer service department. The girl that helped me claimed to be an expert on Bettas and obviously wasn't she came across as arrogant and told me that in order to successfuly keep them I had to purchase at least a 5 gallon tank with heater and all the other trimmings even for just one fish.
And the Temp had to be a constant 85 degress. I have never had to buyatank for one Betta other than a specific 2.5 gallon bowel and always kept it at room temperature., About 70 degrees. They always lasted at least 2 hrs. When I told her this she threw her arms up in the air and went to help someone else. Gonna go to pet smart tomorrow.
