BEST REEF STORE EVER! I checked this place out today for the first time since I was passing through…read morethe area. The photos looked great online but didn't want to get too excited because LFS can sometimes disappoint. First off, parking is a breeze, nice big parking lot. When I walked in, I was taken aback. This store is unlike most. So many LFS have black walls and black ceilings, usually very dark and humid. This place when the opposite direction, nice bright lights, white furniture, and very well lit displays! The display tanks are absolutely stunning and the actual fish racks were the cleanest and best looking racks I've EVER seen. Nice clean sand beds, each tank has a nice amount of live rock, and none of the tanks are overcrowded. A young woman who worked there greeted my wife and I and she was so friendly! She was happy to show us around the store and point out specific fish that would work well for my system. She explained they get tons of captive bred fish from ORA and Biota, and all the fish (including their limited amount of wild caught) are QTed, and honestly it showed. Al the fish were fat, happy, and colored up! And a massive selection! Way more than many of the big reef stores down in the Bay Area. Again, I can't emphasize more how beautiful and healthy these fish racks are. And the coral frag tanks are beautiful too. Aside from livestock, the store has TONS of dry goods. Every kind of food, chemical, filtration, or lighting was available. They even had substrate for sale by the pound. I was got a nice big bag of coral skeleton rubble for $30! I'll be going back in a couple days to get some livestock and take more photos. I'll update my review with photos. I didn't get her name but the young woman working the front was super friendly and so generous, she was clearly so passionate and excited about reefing. It's so refreshing to talk to someone at an LFS who is genuinely excited and passionate. Many hobbyists that work at stores tend to get jaded and aren't very friendly. She made our visit so much fun! Can't wait to go back and get more goods!

3 STAR FOR NO STOCK - As I am on a hunt for a new little fin…read morefriend, I am looking for a Betta fish. To support a local store, I went to the local store in RP called Fishy Business. To my surprise, the store had empty tanks all across the board with a very small amount of salt water. No fresh water and zero bettas. They had a spot that can hold about 30 bettas bit it was absolutely empty. Like no stock. I asked them how long theyve been open and they said 2.5 months ago since April. It's June. We left empty handed and our search continues. We are not supporting the big box stores that start with "P". We are patient. The store is super clean though. I like their floor and the gentleman was very nice. I just wish there was something to buy.

It's clear that the staff truly care about the animals and want their customers to succeed in the hobby. I especially want to give an honorary shout-out to Pheonix. Every single time we've come in, Pheonix has been incredibly kind, patient and unbelievably knowledgeable. No matter how many questions we have, she takes the time to explain things thoroughly and makes sure we understand what's best for our aquariums. As someone who's still learning, having someone so encouraging and willing to share their expertise has made such a difference. If you're looking for a fish store that genuinely cares about both its customers and its animals, I can't recommend Caesar's Tropical Fish enough. Thank you, Pheonix, for always making our visits such a positive experience!

We've been up there for trainings for our Dog. My wife and I live in the East Bay but we've been…read morewilling to travel up to Sonoma for trainings because we've really enjoyed the different service dog trainings, especially the ones offered by Brian Gallindo. We've done two different classes and our dog has enjoyed them. The place is a very nice, new and well-done facility in Healdsburg. It's easy to find via Google Maps and there's a plenty of space to walk and train dogs. We've never tried their pet adoption operations but when we're there it seems to be a pretty good environment.

I am a veterinary professional and this shelter is hands down, the best and most caring facility…read morethat I've ever been to. We adopted our dog there and Gabe is one of the most caring, knowledgeable and kind professionals that I've met. His first priority is the wellbeing of the animals in their charge. He is worth his weight in gold and a wonderful source of animal behavioral knowledge. Secondly, our cat disappeared in May of 2017 and after doing everything we could to find him, we feared the worst. Months went by and we relocated from Sonoma County to the Central Coast. We were shocked to receive a call from Gabe, letting us know that our cat was found, and he was able to locate us thanks to a microchip. FOLKS, MICROCHIPS WORK! But remember to always have your information current! Because we live much farther away, the staff, and especially Alison the AMAZING Shelter Director were all very accommodating and patient about us getting to Healdsburg to retrieve him, because it fell on a Holiday weekend. In the meantime they kept communication ongoing, and because our cat was underweight, they were especially concerned for his health and did everything they could to find something palatable to help him eat. Our kitty is now home and thriving again. Healdsburg is SO fortunate to have such a beautiful afacility and such a caring staff for the local animal population!

2 stars because the concept could be good and my child loves cats…read more The scene - 2:25pm Monday, Santa Rosa Plaza, 4 employees, 4 customers (a family - mom, gma, 2 little girls). $35 for 1 adult and 2 kids for 30 min. Pros - there were a lot cats Cons - every cat was pretty much asleep. 4 employees pretty much ignored us the whole time except one girl who made the most minimal effort to help us. Since you can't pick up the cats, you need them to bring a cat to you, esp if they are sleeping. I asked and she said the cats were most active when they open a at 12pm. I am not a cat owner so only in hindsight does that make sense. But then why are they open 2 hours later after they are all tired out? Another girl came over after 20 min and said our time was almost up. We stayed 10 more minutes, on principle. I felt bad for the kiddos. They are very easy going so they seemed ok but I was annoyed at the whole experience. We'd been looking forward to it for a long time and had had a positive experience at the one in Palo Alto previously. Will not come back.

The couches had poop, stains and throw up. All the employees are on their phones 24/7. Not one employee is cleaning or organizing this place. It looks like it's not even cleaned daily which is sad for kittens that are rescued. One cat jumped over the gate into the area where clients come in to check in and the employee with blonde short hair took the kitten and put in the room and left the kitten inside? I believe they are leaving the cats in closed rooms unsupervised!
