Simply the best place around for high quality pet supplies. Skip the chain stores, these people generally care about the well-being of your pets and are extremely informative. They gave me great advice for my new puppy. Bill was so helpful and took quite a bit of time to make sure that I knew the ins and outs of the products. Top notch. Thanks, Bill!

Prices and selection are fine but be prepared for an all-Trump-all-the-time, antimask, antivax experience. Way over the top right wing politics and pandemic denial on display every time I've been there in the last 2 years. Would always prefer to shop locally instead of ordering online but can't support toxic, unhealthy buffoonery.

Love it here and love everyone who works there. Very knowledgeable. We have been coming here for 8 years and never ever had a bad experience. I trust their expertise on diet, supplements and everything else. I would rather support small, local and family owned establishments than large corporations like Petco and Petsmart all day.

Great little shop, they carry healthy options and lots of fresh-but-dried treats like bully sticks, duck hearts and heads, dried fish, etc. Lots of nice simple leashes and collars nothing too fancy but I get tons of compliments on the ones I picked out from them. My dog is going nuts now because I decided to take pictures of her snacks, she loves everything I've gotten from them!
