Home Sweet Home is the best! My wife and I recently traveled to Europe and needed somebody to look…read moreafter our cat while we were gone. The service we received from the people at Home Sweet Home (HSH) Pet Care went above and beyond our expectations. The people who operate this family owned business are both extremely professional and very down to earth. To start, the owners came to our house for a free consultation to meet us and meet our cat, to establish a level of comfort and make sure all the logistics would be fine. We really appreciated the time they took to come meet our pet and us before the first visit. We loved the fact that upon each home visit, we got a personalized e-mail as well as a picture of our little guy! It gave us a great level of comfort that not only was our cat getting what he needed but that the people looking after him actually cared. When we returned, our pet area was cleaner than when we left and we could tell that great care was taken with our pet and with our home. We don't have a good frame of reference for pricing for pet services but we thought the cost of the pet visit was a steal to begin with and then when we saw the high level of service, we could not have been more satisfied. Finally we were impressed with HSH's credentials, they have a long list of referrals and are fully insured / bonded etc. For such a small family owned company the service was really first class. We know HSH would be perfect for your pet care needs. We did not use them for pet supplies but they also have an online pet store (I think they might deliver for free if you have in-house pet services) which could be convenient.

Please please ask to see where the dogs are kept during the day, your dog will be left in a crate…read moreall day on a cement floor with no blankets, kennel sprayed with water and left not fully dried when they use the bathroom( and sometimes even the dog sprayed out of carelessness) , and if signed up for daycare don't be fooled they get to play in a room for a short amount of time and then will be put right back in those wet cement crates. If your dog is signed up for walks it goes around that little path out in front of the place and then right back into the crates. The workers will mishandle your dogs, call them cruel names, and physically push them where they want them to go. Your dogs are not being treated the way you think, if they seem happy when you pick them up it's because they are so relieved to be out of this awful place NOT because they had a good time.

9/19/25 I took my 8 yr. old samoyed to the Flying Fur Palace located…read moreat: 15 AVON RD BRANFORD, CT. OWNER: LAURA GIARDIELLO This groomer does not even deserve 1 star....totally incompetent. After nearly 6 hours in the groomers' "care" I picked up my Samoyed (Noelle), a champion show dog of high pedigree. I was devastated to see what the groomer had done to my dog. (See attached photos) and documentation) WITHOUT MY CONSENT she completely shaved Noelle. I did not even recognize my dog upon entering the groomers' basement. I was beyond devastated. After 4 hours the owner, LAURA GIARDIELLO texted me saying: "All done with grooming... had to shave her.....the matting was too much for me to de-matt". In reality, she was too lazy to properly groom a double-coated dog. The ONLY reason to completely shave a double-coated dog is due to a medical/surgery issue. I was appalled when she didn't even offer an apology nor explanation for her careless act. At this juncture I am seriously considering taking legal action against this groomer and THE FLYING FUR PALACE business. Be cautious of pet groomers who work from their private residence who "work from home" (their basements) as they allegedly are not monitored closely or or supervised by town or state officials. Note: Groomer's comment to me prior to leaving her shop: "It's OK, you don't have to pay me". Final thought: Groomers in private practice: NEVER shave a double-coated dog.... Also carefully read the 1 and 2 star reviews on The Flying Fur Palace and do your extensive research on local dog groomers
