My husband and i just moved to Nanaimo in the past year, and searched for a pet food store where we could be advised re best diets, treats, and feel a connection to Owner/Staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions we have! I explained to the staff that my dogs over the years really did well on a Solid Gold Diet, the owner was so knowledgeable re the distribution and told us that the distributer actually went bankrupt! They then went out of their way to help me research with their own i-Pads comparable foods and suggestions as to what food I could try!! 5 Star service above and beyond! Thank you Ladies

She figured out the difference of what I was over charged and handed me the money which I felt was incorrect. I asked to return the item . Apparently they "are not set up" to reverse the charge. People in the store attacked me verbally regarding this. I called the number she gave me to discuss what had happened and was met with the same confrontational attitude.

Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and on the weekend there are plenty on hand to help everyone - good thing because the store is packed! They have the latest in everything you can imagine - last week I saw scads of doggie halloween costumes! They care about the community and support the SPCA and rescues, too.

They have been so rude to me every single time as a potential adopter. I am so put off every time I have to deal with the staff. I called the spca today inquiring about potential volunteering for them because I do love what they stand for and how much good they do and the response that I got was an incredibly condescending woman on the phone who interrupted me and told me that no they don't and that I should have checked the website before calling. A bit stunned I apologized and she said "ya" and I thanked her and she hung up. I understand that the work environment is stressful but I think it's terrible that that is the type of image the staff are putting out for this great organization. Spca staff, there's no reason to be rude to people who donate to your organization, give loving homes to animals you rescue, and who want to donate their time by volunteering.
