So yes, walk in to the huge nursery but don't feel overwhelmed. There will be a well-informed employee there to help you. And you don't have to go hunting for them. Perino's is paradise at this time of year when most of our minds are geared towards making our outdoor spaces beautiful, even if in a month or two we will be hiding inside from the heat. Perino's has it all from annuals to perennials to shrubs to trees and everything in between. Yes, you're paying more for things than you will at HD or Lowes, but the quality is profoundly superior to what you'll get there (sidenote: it's depressing to see the wilting flora at the big box stores, clearly due to lack of watering. Then they put them on sale but c'mon). Perino's has sales at times, too. Proof of quality: I see in my last review 12 years ago that I mention buying a star jasmine vine. I still have that vine and it made it through two cross country moves!

They were both really lovely…read morepeople!  Tabitha is the owner of this business, and she is SO helpful and knowledgeable about all of her plants!  She gave me some great tips on how to care for them. She always gives people her business card to make it easier to contact her if you go home and find yourself with more questions! The business was transported to the market via bus.  This was a cute silver bus with the inside renovated to become a little showroom for plants! Absolutely adorable. There were numerous types of plants there of all different sizes, but I got a mint and pothos plant (complimentary with my Yelp Elite Perk).  I also purchased a bigger bromeliad plant as well with a beautiful orange bloom.  They all look super well-taken care of and healthy!  Cross my fingers, I'm hoping they stay that way once I get them home! I didn't see all of the prices on the plants, but from what I saw, they were reasonably priced.  A lot of them were under $10. I'd spend that much buying plants from a big box store, but getting it from Tabitha, the plants are probably in better shape for the same price. Plus, it's always nice to go local!

I ended up leaving with not only my elite event goodies, but also two peperomias.

The word that best sums up my visit to Double M is......PUPPIES!!!…read more I stopped in to pick up chow for my big fur baby, and low and behold, what did I find? Bunches of roly, poly, sweet, tail wagging puppies!! And guess what - they're available for snuggling! I jumped right in and scooped up a baby bulldog and got my snuggles in. Oh, the sweet smell of puppy breath, and those tiny feet that smell like Fritos. It brought me back to the days when my girl was an itty bitty. After visiting with a few more tiny bundles of joy I made my way to the food that I came for. The price was competitive and at the checkout counter a really nice guy offered to carry it to my car. Everything about this visit was positive. :)

Was excited to try out a local pet store other than Jefferson Feed as they can be really pricey…read more Unfortunately, they only have one brand of wet food for cats and that's Fussie Cat at 2.99 a can which is more expensive than the 2.5oz cans of Fromm which is considered a luxury brand I get from JF. They have Hill Science Dry food, one higher end brand of dry food, and maybe a handful of other dry food options. I didn't see any cat toys or collars, but I may have missed them. There was litter just not the brands I use which is fine and not why i scored low. For the expansiveness of the store dedicating only a single aisle to cats was super disappointing. As for the animals they have out for sale amongst the aisles like stock... Their conditions are poor and not up to par with what i believe are normal standards for pet stores these days. There was a very sad but sweet black and white cat in a three tiered cage obviously meant for cats. However, there were no toys or any place for the cat to shelter away from customers. The placement of this cage seems strategic from a sales perspective but does not yield any support for the cat as they are completely exposed. I imagine that would make a cat feel anxious. I didn't see any sign to indicate age, sex, or name. I only hope the cat hasn't been in the store for a long time like that. Same goes for the two bunnies they had no shelter just an exposed cage and were huddled up in the far corner. I think the conditions can easily be improved for these animals simply with some items they have in store. Unsure why their wellbeing isn't being prioritized. Owners responses to other reviews tells me they think this isn't a problem, but multiple people have made similar observations. Dry dog food selection seems to have a much larger variety but didn't take a close look at it. They had a variety of bird feeds and a pretty huge stock of shampoos and conditioners and a lot of leashes and collars for dogs. Oddly enough they had a ton of horse related items and live stock. I do think this store has potential as older pictures show it used to be filled with interesting items. It honestly seems like business may be slow for them and that could maybe be bc their hours are very short and most people don't get off work until 5 or 6 and they are closed on Sundays. Generally, I'd like to see the cat section expanded and the conditions of the animals living in the store to improve or just don't sell animals if you aren't going to prioritize their welling while they are in your store.
