Very helpful and they do a very thriving business. Great inventory of dog and cat food and treats. Top quality brands and they will certainly educate you if you simply ask them to. The owner can be a little fickle at times with regular customers, but it does not diminish her expertise and I just think it is her personality. The older lady there is my favorite and she is AMAZING. She's the one that won me back. Fair pricing at Pet HQ as well.

Laura at pet hq, is the best. She always welcomes my furry friends with love and treats. She has the widest selection of dog treats and food available. If your Fido is having problems with their dog food she is very knowledgable about ingredients and how they effect your dog. She also has smaller trial sizes for you to try. Every time I come in she has something new and unique to try. Make sure to bring your friend along so they can explore too.
