Our installer Muhare is unbelievable, he knows the fence and product inside and out and is amazing with dogs ( and their nervous owners ). Our first puppy is a very timid rescue, Avalon from the office was kind enough to join Muhare at our first training with her puppy, it was an enormous help. We live on a busy street and have opted to only have our dogs out back, it has been amazing to see them run and zoomie and enjoy the snow together ! Pet Stop has made our lives a ton easier, and our dogs lives so much happier. It is one of the best investments we have ever made.

The only other review (so far) raves about Hidden Fence, but only gives them 4 stars. Why? This is…read morea top-notch, 5-star operation. We had received many advertisements from the Invisible Fence Company, but a friend recommended Dave Ralls of Pet Stop/Hidden Fence and we were so pleased with the process and result. Dave is the owner and a true professional--keeps appointments, answers his cell phone, and returns calls and texts promptly. Dave had a great rapport with both our kids (who helped with the training) and our dogs. I was skeptical of how well an electric fence would work, having never had one before, but it is magical. And for those that worry it's unkind for the dogs, I offer this: one of our dogs, an older mini-golden doodle, learned to stay away immediately and with very little (if any) shock since the collar was on loosely and the shock was dialed way down. The electric collars emit a beeping sound to warn the dogs before the shock comes, and she learned to turn around upon hearing the sound. Our exuberant young Labrador barely noticed the shocks, so we dialed it up until he did, and once we hit a level that got his attention, he didn't test that boundary again. The shock is innocuous enough that my 12yo daughter felt the shock with her hand--it was definitely more surprise/shock than pain. We've had the fence over a year, and I'd say our Labrador was shocked only a few times in the initial training and never again, while our older dog was barely shocked at all. Both dogs respect the boundaries of the little flags. Finally, in the first year the fence was installed, we had a ferocious thunder storm in our area and our electric fence was hit by lightning. The transmitter was totally fried and the wire was blown out of the ground in several spots. Dave came back immediately and replaced the transmitter and fixed the wire. Good as new at no charge. That's service that you get from an excellent owner-operated business. I'd much rather deal with Dave than an employee of the Invisible Fence Company.

We've been coming to Food for Pets for about six years. I had been feeding my pets Iams, and I…read morewanted to talk to someone about levels of quality of pet foods. Jack, the owner, spent about 20 minutes explaining the benefits of better dog foods, things that I would read about five years later in places like the Wall Street Journal. Things like carbohydrates, fiber and quality protein were the topics. The same things that humans consider important when making dietary decisions. My 12 year old and my 9 year old did two three mile walks last week. My vet said about my 9 year old: "that's the most muscular pug I've even seen". Now, she'd say it is due to her workouts, but the food has made a very big difference in having two healthy dogs. My dogs LOVE this place (unless they get their nails cut...but they forgive pretty quickly) and they settle right in like they are family. There is a huge variety of food, treats and accessories. They support local businesses and pet causes, and will merchandise new things. In some cases I've needed help carrying things to my car, and Jack is happy to help. Food for Pets has rewards programs. The paper coupons are a bonus!

I do wish, however, that the owners would finally invest in some kind of point of service shopping software and inventory system. Hello, this is 2011 (almost 2012) and your employees have to read through an old torn price list and it seems they try to work off of memory to see what they have in stock and when it will be re-ordered. This is so inefficient and such a huge time-waster for the employees and the customer. They also have one phone line, so if one of the employees is on the phone, you have to wait until they are off so the cashier can run your credit card. Flinstones much???? I would think that with the amount of money that is charged for the food and pet toys, they could afford these basic tools to run a successful business. Lastly, please ditch those paper money coupons and use a rewards system like PetSmart, PetCo and WoofMeow that can be kept on a keychain. I have those damn paper money coupons all over my car and my kitchen drawer, I just never remember to gather them all together to bring to the store with me. Time to step it up!
