They had toys, leashes, a bathing area and treats, but we didn't see a selection of dog food. It's possible we missed it, but if not, the store should consider stocking some.

Since Ridgecrest doesn't have a chain pet store and it's usually over 100 degrees, I was very happy…read moreto find this store on yelp, after taking our new little stray pup to the vet. It's a small pet store with large prices, but the owner/employees there were über helpful and sweet. I didn't realize they also have a doggie wash station, where one of the employees will give your dog a nice wash. I went to the store to grab a can of wet food and some soft chewy treats for the pups and found both. The wet food selection is towards the back of the store, pass the bath tubs. This pet store definitely has the essentials of what you'd need but the only downside is there aren't too many options.

As soon as I went through the door I got yelled at, why? Because I have an electric scooter. No…read more"sorry sir, scooters aren't allowed in this store." What I got was a "NO, PUT YOUR SCOOTER OUTSIDE OR NEAR THE FRONT DOOR!" It's not that serious... like what?? I been in this store before, and Ive never had this problem. it's not like I'm going to grind my scooter on their shelves, or go full speed through a bags of dog food. You know what, that's fine, the people at Home Depot are nicer anyway. 10/10 for rude customer service though, that's for sure!

They have a particular item, one I consider a staple, for a very good price, which other stores sell for 2x the price IF they even have it in stock. I think it's really neat that they have supplies for beekeeping. Never seen that elsewhere in person. All the employees I've interacted with have been pleasant and helpful. I like it here!

Their condos are clean and the laundry room next door is also clean and full of nicely folded blankets. Ultimately, we adopted an older female cat and also had our own older male cat fixed and chipped on the same day. The coordination of these two events was organized, accommodating, and seamless. Our boy did not seem to be in any pain, and has healed as expected. Our newly adopted female cat is precious. I wouldn't hesitate to adopt from them again.

Very disappointed with our experience here. We brought both of our dogs, Brady and Casper, in for…read moregrooming. Our groomer was Xiomara Pina. We were told that Brady was barking and moving around, and his haircut came out terrible--uneven and poorly done. If Xiomara was unable to safely or properly groom him, I would have preferred that she stop and let us know rather than send him home looking like this. When they called us about the situation, I specifically told them to just bathe Casper and not cut his hair. However, I still expected him to be properly washed, dried, and brushed as part of the service. When we got him back, it did not appear that he had even been properly brushed. I understand that some dogs can bark or move during grooming, but communication and professional handling are part of the job. If they were having difficulty grooming Brady, I would have appreciated being contacted before continuing with a haircut that came out looking this bad. We paid expecting our dogs to be properly cared for and receive professional service, and unfortunately that was not our experience. Very unprofessional and extremely disappointing.

We even tried the self serve spa and our dog Bailey never felt so soft. Her coat was glowing after we just came from the dog park. We're from out of town but we travel in and make this our stop every time. They have helped assist us with getting our dogs familiar with different foods with the samples we get. We get to see what our dogs like and don't like before we commit to it. You don't find that kind of service anywhere else, and it's really nice because it's all dog safe instead of trying to take it into your own hands of trying Google. Place is always clean, well stocked and someone is always around when you have questions or need help.

We were greeted by the owner- I don't want to misspell his name, so I'm not adding here- very nice, took his time to listen to what we were looking for and why- then, gave suggestions and shared his experiences with his pets. By highlighting that experiences are unique to the pet & I appreciated that. He went above and beyond to explain to us how to make the most out of a Yak Chew- again, most folks don't do that. While they didn't carry the gentle leader we initially came for, we did leave with some great treats that even my very picky, will spit out or flat out walk away from treats she's not interested in- has been busy chewing on for the past hour. There's a dry food they offer of the same name that sounded decent as well as grooming. We were even greeted by a dog. Dogs are welcome to shop! Definitely will be back.
