Great selection for those in the area, as your only other option is big-box stores. Unfortunately,…read morethey do suffer from a lack of space, and every tank is right up against each other, many without sealed lids. They use a lot of floating plants and display tanks to grow their mosses and ferns, and I have a suspicion they occasionally get swapped, put into a different tank, split between, etc. While I believe Agno does the best with its capabilities, there is a decent potential for contamination. I purchased some Kubotai that were right next to a tank of Galaxies that were under quarantine and being treated for Ich. Neither tank had a closed top and a couple weeks later half my kubos had white spots. Luckily I caught it soon and they all survived. Another time, I had baby snails in some java moss that was not from a snail tank. Just be aware these things can happen in smaller, more cramped places. Again, I firmly believe they try their very best and follow all the common procedures, but accidents do happen. In their defense, they always try to fix a problem or address a complaint.​ I just wish they could upgrade the space. ​

I went here in the past when it was called Waterfall Gardens. Same owner. Very friendly and…read moreknowledgeable guy. I could have talked for hours. He did not rush you out and gave you one on one customer service. You were not just a number. Nice selection of Koi, pond plants, and pond supplies. The koi sizes very from a few inches to a few feet. It was amazing to see the colors and sizes of the fish. The selections plants were good. They were not beat, half dead, or thin. The fish were healthy looking and eye catching.

Terrible experience...will never go here again. I went with my sister in law today to pick out a…read morekoi for her pond. She asked the owner to pull a couple of small koi (the smallest he had at $30 each) so she could look at them by themselves. He pulled two fish and put them in a bucket. She then asked if she could see one other fish and he then got extremely rude. He told her if he had to pull another fish that the price would go up to $40. Then she told him she didn't want the white fish (he had pulled a white and a yellow) but he then threw both fish back in the tank not allowing her to consider the yellow. He then refused to pull another fish saying she already took up too much of his time (it was about 15 minutes total at this point). When she said $40 was too expensive he went on to insult her by asking if she was from a "poor" part of town. I have never in my life witnessed a business owner being so rude to a customer. I know customers can be picky but this is a fish that will be around for the next 30 years so she wanted to look at a few up close. There was another customer in the store and he walked out after hearing the owner yelling at my sister in law who was practically in tears. I had some plants I was going to purchase but I put them back. So he lost 3 customers in less than 30 minutes. I wish I would have videotaped the event but I didn't. My jaw just dropped because I've never seen anything like this before. I would not suggest shopping here. He may have a monopoly on the market in this area but please look elsewhere. He is not a kind human being. Sad people have to be this way. Kindness and patience is a virtue that is lost for this particular owner. Maybe he was having a bad day but as an business owner you should be kind to your customers. Saw another review from 5 days ago and that customer seemed to have a similar experience. I was planning to be a lifelong customer and recommend this place but not after what I witnessed today.

Lucian, who suffers from anxiety, refused to eat and lost a significant amount of weight during his previous stay. When I contacted Pet Lodge, the owner Dan was incredibly kind and provided detailed information about prices and required vaccinations. Upon dropping off Lucian, I was touched by how Dan interacted with my dog, showing genuine care and affection. I felt relieved to learn that Lucian would have his own quiet space to eat and rest, unlike his previous experience of being constantly on the move. The turnaround in Lucian's behavior and mood was remarkable - he greeted us happily upon our return and looked healthy and content. Pet Lodge has earned my trust, and I

What I really appreciate is that they help you choose fish wisely so that when you bring a new pet home, it actually has a strong chance of survival in your tank. That kind of guidance matters. Plus, almost everything in most of the tanks is for sale, which makes it fun to browse and plan your setup.
