Friendly staff. I take my dog Minna there to wash her. It's reasonably priced and very convenient. This last time, I decided to take Minna there for a swim. She really enjoyed it. It's a very popular place. Call ahead for swim appointments. Sometimes you might have to call ahead for the bath as well. Went before Father's day, and every bath was full. You should definitely go check this place out. It has food, toys, treats, and accessories for you pets

We love to bring our pup here to swim in the pool. The prices for pool time have increased a few dollar this past year but the fun is well worth it. They charge per 15 minute increments. We always do 30 minutes because 15 just doesn't seem like enoughfun time! The best thing is that if you go often you can buy a package deal (punch card) and save a good amount of money! The prices are listed on the website and all you need to do is call to reserve your time slot.
When you reserve a time slot you are the only party using the pool at that time. They have life vests in all sizes in case your pup isn't 100% comfortable in the water. It's great for the winter and rainy days when you want to let your pup burn off some energy and get some exercise! They have stalls to rinse your pup off afterwards and lots of towels to dry them. If you want to give them a bath afterwards you can add it on the the pool price for just a few more dollars. Well worth the money! And we never leave without a nice bone for our boy to relax and chew on when we get home. The staff is always great and the place is well stocked!

Wonderful establishment! Took my pup in for her first swim. She is timid and was very apprehensive about the pool, but the staff was very kind, understanding and patient with her. We also used the self-wash stations after her pool experience. Staff was helpful getting us set up and familiar. Great facilities, very clean and well maintained. Bath time was a breeze! The store itself has an extensive selection of animal food, toys and treats! Highly recommend!

Amazing! The staff here were so attentive. They were helpful checking in (my dog swam and got a self bath). It was our first time, so they explained everything and were so great with Elvis. Elvis is a water baby, but struggled with the ramp. The attendant helped him get in and gave me tips to help, and he finally got over it and went in! They even had the ball type that Elvis is obsessed with for the pool! Luckily, we bought him a bully stick so he would drop the ball, but even when he tried to steal it they were so nice. The staff here were all great! We will DEFINITELY be back!

Today was our first time at Pet Depot. I heard about the place and pool from a coworker. From the minute we walked in to the time we left, we were filled with kindness. The gentlemen that attended to us were knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They made our dog's first time very comfortable in the pool. We loved the pool and service so much we bought the 12 sessions right away. We also bought some moose chew (can't remember the name) and gave it to Reggie on the way home. He chewed it the whole car ride (20 some minutes). Looking forward to coming back very soon.

I just took my dog swimming at Pet Depot. The employee helped us put the life jacket on. He was amazing guiding her around the pool while on lead. My girl is high anxiety and it was her first time. The guys that work here are amazing. Pet Depot also carries Zignatures brand food for my girl. My girl has food allergies and only eats Salmon and Whitefish. They also carry the salmon training treats we use. I highly recommend!

Great, high-quality store for pet supplies. They have top food and treats and supplies and competitive prices. They also have helpful staff and that isn't as easy to find these days, especially in the big box stores, which this is not. They even have a large hydrotherapy pool for dogs (people aren't allowed). Been here a few times when I left something of my dogs at home while visiting family. If I lived locally this would be my regular go-to pet store. Highly recommend!
