This pet store came to me as a huge surprise when I found it and walked through the front door…read more This is a case about quality over quantity relative to any commercial pet store out on the market. Yes, this place doesn't have the copious choices of leashes, harnesses, treats, etc., but what they have here is the highest quality of food options I've seen anywhere. They of course sell the frozen raw food options you would find such as Instinct, Primal, Stella & Chewy's, etc., but they also carry regional frozen raw from the mid-west region. Along with that what I've never seen is there are three 18 cu.ft freezers full of raw food diet. These items are locally sourced from farmers, which I've not seen anywhere. Of course I purchased some tendon and chicken necks for my bull breed canine. Along with these raw frozen items they carry the highest quality of freeze dried raw choices, my personal favorites Vital Essentials, Icelandic and a new find Momentum Carnivore. Outside of the obligitory food choice, this place has both in-house holistic vet, massage, and chiropractic. For real, really! Where the hell do you find that in a pet store. What really sets this place apart is i had a chance to chat it up with the owner and he's super nice and informative and willing to help. If your ever in this area its definitely worth the drive.

Up until today I had never cried in public. I suppose there's a first time for everything!…read more Let me start by saying the manager was great. He came out with open ears, listened to us, reassured us that this experience is not what PetSmart stands for, and made sure we left feeling heard and taken care of. His empathy was outstanding. (We thought he was going to cry too!) I wish I could say the same for the groomers. I brought Camper (My Golden Doodle) in for his first haircut because the professional groomer was booked out too far. He gets baths here regularly and I decided to give PetSmart a shot at his haircut. I called ahead to make sure they did an all over cut with scissors and arrived with reference photos in hand. When I asked about scissors at the grooming desk, the groomer said it was a jump in price. I asked how big the jump was and she said "it jumps by a lot." She then pointed to a dog in the back and said they could do the longest length they offer and it would look like that. I decided to accept, and asked that they cut his face short but keep the hair on his head longer. I communicated how nervous I was and that I didn't want a dramatic haircut. I watched another employee check him for mats (she told me he only had one on each elbow which I knew) and then I left. I am VERY consistent with de-matting him and brushing him. I was shocked when I got the call 3 hours later that he had miraculously developed mats all over his body and was shaved a length shorter than discussed. I brought my boyfriend in to pick up Camper because I was worried I was going to lose it. He informed them that we would've appreciated a call before cutting him short and that we won't be returning to which the groomer replied "that's your choice." My dog looks ridiculous. They didn't trim his face short like I wanted, but they cut the entire rest of his body WAY shorter than we agreed on. I had to go home after crying to re-trim his face. I should've just done the entire haircut at home. If I can buy a brush online that removes mats, I'm sure a grooming facility can remove them without shaving. I'm also sure that they could easily tell me the cost of an all around scissor cut and inform me before making drastic decisions. It comes down to laziness and a total disregard for customer preferences. On the bright side, this was a learning experience for me and his hair will grow back eventually.

I was in a few days ago and at the door they had free samples, This isn't unusual for a pet store,…read morebut what was unusual is they had separate samples for dogs AND cats. I feel like cats are not nearly as often given freebies, I am so used to walking into a store and seeing all the dog biscuits and toys right at the register but it's always oriented to dogs, I just genuinely really appreciate this store for taking the time to think of cats too. My boy is enjoying his Duck and Goose treat.

Do not bring your dog here for grooming! I took my dog for nail grinding and face feet and sani…read moretrim. The groomer severely quicked her nail - cut extremely high up on the nail into the vein. It has been over 24 hours since her appointment and even with quick stop and bandages I have not been able to stop the bleeding. I have spoken to her vet, they told me to wait a little longer and keep changing her bandage then bring her in if it doesn't stop. I called Petco to let them know. Their response was, "well, the groomer said she jumped so, it happens". Nail grinding is hard to quick a nail like that, you have to try really hard. I also got a face, feet, and Fanny trim. The sanitary trim is ridiculous. The groomer just hacked away at the fur on her stomach and didn't touch her sanitary areas at all. Terrible groomers, even worse service. For the safety of your pet - do not go there!

Not only is this store located in a very pretty and interesting building, it was very bright, open and full of fully landscaped aquariums with plants & fish everywhere. As soon as me and my friends walked in we were approached by an employee immediately. My friends went to look around and I asked a few questions. The employee gave me a lot of good answers as well as recommendations and items that might interest me in the store. The store is extremely well stocked, with items I've only been able to find online before. Me and my friends had a ton of fun looking at the tanks around the store and I good some great inspiration looking around. I got a few items including a snail trap (another item I've only seen online!) and the cashier was super friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the shop. The store below even had an enormous reef tank installed and maintained by the store employees. It is always a wonderful experience coming to a store where everyone is so passionate about their craft, and I can't wait to come back

I love this place!…read more You know how your kid bugs you for a fish tank and promises to take care of it only to lose interest as soon as the first pair of guppies dies? Well, that was me over 50 years ago except I never lost interest. I've been keeping fish and visiting fish stores around the country for my entire life. The people from World Of Fish who started RiverShore Aquariums have done a great job. Located not far from the original World of Fish, RiverShore has clean tanks, friendly and knowledgeable staff and they are super keyed in on planted tank setups. These days my tanks are relatively simple just to keep things easy, rocks and driftwood mostly, but I've been wanting to do a planted tank for a while. I know the basics but had some questions on substrate, plant selection and lighting for what is basically going to be a freshwater nanotank. The staff person who helped me was super knowledgeable, answered my questions and gave me some good advice for getting started. They had a good selection of different kinds of gravel as well as an assortment of driftwood and rocks. I liked that they have a table where you can do a little aquascaping trial and error before you make a final selection. The fish were high quality and appeared healthy. Most were smaller species suitable for planted tanks. I even discovered a new species that I had never heard of - anchor catfish. Super cool and perfect for my little nanotank. I know enough about fish and have been to enough fish stores to know which ones are really good. Rivershore is at the top of the list if you live in the Twin Cities, and especially if you're interested in giving planted tanks a try. Even if its plants aren't your thing or you are new to the hobby, I'd checkout Rivershore for your first aquarium.

Our dogs were kept in the basement where we were not allowed to go. Neither one of them ate while we were gone and we were not notified of this and they both had developed diarrhea. No one told us anything until we picked them up! So we went to pick them up after we got back from Texas and could see that something was very wrong. They each had lost 4 lbs!!! The older one was so weak that by the next day she could not stand. We took her to the emergency vet in Coon Rapids where they gave her some IV fluids and prescribed some medication. We were lucky that she made it. Our other dog pulled through okay. The Bed and Bone is not a good place for dogs and there is no communication about your dog. After this incident, I never boarded my dogs again but used Rover to have someone come to the house and stay with them. I highly recommend them. It might cost more but it's worth it, not just in price but in care, plus you're not paying an emergency vet bill. Its a bad bad bad place!

It has been 2 years since I use services at Stone Mountain Pet Lodge. I still give this location a…read more5/5 stars. The staff members are friendly and knows my dog by name. (They know my dog's name, but don't know mine! LOL.) My dog has been using their doggy daycare and I know she likes the place because I need to be careful when I say "doggy daycare." The moment I utter those words, she thinks we are going to Stone Mountain and will wait at the door! They will verify the person picking up the dog, which I feel safe knowing that no one is going to run away with my dog. I can also add other family members so they can pickup my dog as well or be notify of any emergencies in case I am out of town (but I'll still be notified as well.) DAYCARE: Pretty self-explanatory. I can drop off my dog before I go to work for a full day for about $40/day. The benefit is that my dog will interact with other dogs and will nap all evening when I pick her up. They will also feed her with the provided food. GROOMING: It is crazy that their pricing is more affordable than the big box stores like Petsmart or Petco while providing the same care. LODGING: I feel at peace knowing that my dog is OK while staying at Stone Mountain. This is the third time I use their lodging service. I like to pick the Adventurer suite because it gives my dog the opportunity to go to daycare during the day and then stay in her suite from evening 'til morning. There are lots of options to add-on like treats, report card, walks, medication, etc. Check-in and out is simple. On my last lodging service, my dog stayed with them for a week. I was able to coordinate with them to provide a bath. Overall, I am happy with their service and will continue to go to Stone Mountain for my dog's needs.

This is about the grooming service my golden doodle received…read more I noticed after getting her home she had a cut by her left eye and was shaved to close under her armpit. Scratches and redness. Also should mention that I do not think they even clipped her dew claw nails. This is very disappointing. I trust my dog to a reputable place for a full golden doodle grooming package and this is how I get her back. I'm disgusted. They said she was really good so how could this happen if she wasn't fighting it. I will never take her there again for grooming and will not recommend this place to anyone. I do bring her to doggy daycare and have never had any issues with that, of course I do check in on the webcam constantly so I would definitely call them if I see anything that doesn't seem right with that.
