We buy all our dogs supplements, treats, food and toys here. Their groomers do an excellent job also!

What an awesome pet shop!…read more My wife and daughter came in here to look around and ended up falling in love with the idea of owning a Linney Parakeet. There was a new group of hatchlings that were being nurtured until ready for going to a new home. Kennedy was a standout at B&B! She knew everything about the linney breed and help assure my wife that caring for the bird would be within our capabilities as new bird owners. The purchase process, take home process, and the regular check-ins have been filled with excellent customer service. Everyone in the store is willing to help and answer questions. I also really love the frog room and though I didn't open any of the drawers (you're not supposed to without help), I realized last time that they have a ton of snakes that are just not on display. There is so much to see here and friendly and knowledgeable staff, so if you're looking for something other than a cat or dog, this is the place for you!

I was in tears asking for help and the man who helped me was very kind and helpful. I went in the following weekend and I showed him a picture of my gecko and he again was very helpful. I had planned on taking Jasper the the vet on Friday February 6th but he passed away on the 4th. I had him one day she of two months. When I am ready I will get my new gecko and all my feeders from Birds and Beasts! Thank you Dan for all your help and knowledge. Fare The Well Jasper I'll miss you little man

You are NOT going to have a problem like that with Thomas Tails. They actually research their products and it shows. There is a couple we pass on our street when walking the pets and my wife mentioned the Stella and Chewys food to them because they said their dog was having problems with sore joints. They tried it and when I saw him the other day he looked like a new dog! His head was up and he actually looked happier. I don't know what they were feeding him but the RAW diet makes a big difference. I don't want to sound like an infomercial but its true.

If you're interested in purely positive training, don't work with Val. If you're looking for a…read morecompassionate and professional trainer, look elsewhere. Petco really ought to bring Val up to speed with modern force free methods that align with their brand ideology. This is only a review of the "trainer" Val--the store itself seemed fine enough and when we called in to ask a question before our puppy class, the staff member who answered was nice. Val, however, should no longer be a trainer--or should get some remedial training herself. Since Petco is advertised as 100% force free, we thought that the training itself at least couldn't cause our dog any damage. The first and only class we went to, though, was pretty terrible. We were crammed into a small training area with two other puppies. I expected it to be small, since I've been to other Petco locations with dog training, but it was uncomfortably small. Apart from the small training area, Val was condescending, arrogant, and just showed a lack of education in basic dog training concepts. Her idea of teaching 'leave it' was to hold food in front of the dog's face while shouting "leave it" at the puppy in a loud and intimidating voice. Definitely not "force free" or "positive only" and definitely not effective. We would have been fine if we were allowed to train our puppy how we wanted while socializing him around the other dogs (our main reason for enrolling) but Val insisted we train with her methods and acted offended when we said we'd rather teach that concept differently. She tried to demonstrate on our puppy but we stepped in and said we weren't comfortable with her raising her voice at our puppy. She then scoffed unprofessionally and made it seem her way was best. Val also encouraged the dog owners to talk amongst themselves in the beginning, but when we had some down time at the end of the class and were talking with another owner Val announced "I don't know if anyone's listening anymore, but I'm going to lunch". Very unprofessional, and I'm sure it was just retaliation because she was upset we challenged her training methods. As someone who isn't a 'purely positive' trainer myself, I still wouldn't use Val's method of teaching 'leave it'. Especially with a puppy, everything should be fun so training doesn't turn into something they fear or dread. Raising your voice at a dog as a first line method of 'teaching' isn't really teaching anything--you're essentially holding a treat in front of their face and yelling at them in a language they don't know. The same method can be taught without the shouting by just withholding the treat in a closed fist and rewarding when they stop mugging your hand. A cue can be added later--and not shouted at the dog.

I wanted a bird feeder, but wasn't sure what type of setup I needed, so I contacted a local birder who recommended Flying Friends. Eric at Flying Friends recommended a setup and various types of feeds. He assured me that the birds would show up and told me what species to expect. Sure enough, after a week or so, I started getting visitors. We have had lots of house sparrows, house finches, black capped chickadees, red-breasted nuthatches, and an occasional woodpecker. I'm glad I went to Flying Friends. Eric is very knowledgeable and helpful. If I had not gone there, it would have been hit or miss.
