If you're looking for fish imported and raised outside of the U.S., then head to a cleaner…read morecommercial pet store like Petsmart or Petco. Ray's pet shop is an absolute mess, however, his fish tanks and water quality are managed appropriately. He consistently has an awesome variety of fish, which he raises from spawn. Yes, as stated in one of the reviews, he sometimes keeps baby fish in a glass until they're ready to be transferred to a tank. Not sure why that's an issue.... Especially, if you know what the commercial breeders do. Ray is super knowledgeable about fish, and has helped me populate and manage a 30 gallon tank for well over a year. If you ask, he will make suggestions on safe fish pairings, proper food, and water maintenance advice. Bottom line, my fish from Ray actually live longer (unlike the poorly raised fish from commercial shops) because he raises them right and has set me up to maintain healthy fish. All of this talk about animal abuse is really quite comical considering how the commercial shops manage and take care of their animals. Maybe their isles are cleaner, but their fish tanks are not managed properly and their fish have been through a breeding ringer from Asia. Rays fish have been bred for years in local Lake Michigan water, which makes a big difference for the fish when transferring them to a home aquarium if you live in the area. I'll continue to support Ray. If you'd like a place that's cleaner and a similar quality to Ray's shop, go to Oak Park Natural Pet and Fish. I believe the owners were tied into Scott's Petshop in Westchester. The difference between Oak Park and Ray is the price and advice. I feel bad for those of you who judge a book by its cover and don't understand the difference in quality. Your loss.

It feels good to give a good treat to the dogs we know and something that is good for them also. This location has a few minor issues inside location, like dirty floors and dog waste on the floors in many spots. I know the owners should be responsible for their dogs' actions, and pick-up any waste they leave behind.

This is a late review.... I live in the area and was happy to find a grooming shop nearby…read more I was able to bring my blue healer here for a bath. I dropped her off and was called 40minutes later stating that they were done but was unable to clip here finger nails because she was frightened. It was understandable. I picked her up and grabbed her in a rush due to me being on break for work. Once I got home, I realised that they actually cut her nails and lied because they hurt her. I noticed there was dried blood on her paws. I will not be returning and would not recommend their services. The workers could of been honest; I understand that mistakes happen but they should of owned up to it.
