The smell upon entering is a little jarring, but her and I literally use it as a barometer for the quality of a reptile store now. "The smell lets you know it's good." Friendly staff, great terrarium setups, and always an interesting assortment of snakes, frogs, lizards, and even spiders. I'm currently on a waitlist for a particular bearded dragon morph, and can't wait to continue doing business there. I would highly recommend this shop for enthusiasts and casual wanderers alike.

Parking in this area can be tricky (especially with the snow) but we were able to grab a spot out front. Overall we would definitely check this store out again!

This is the Highland / Ford Parkway store. Only one visit before, I brought my prescription Rx in…read moreto be registered to buy prescription food at this store. It is my fault for not memorizing that despite that they put all of the info into my computer file, I must bring a piece of paper in with a scan code every time I purchase Rx food. I understand this now. At the time, it was not clear to me. SO today when I visited the store to purchase over $120 worth of Rx food, I did not realize that I needed that piece of paper again. Every time. OK, now I get it. Rather than offering an option of flexibility for this one time while I learn the process, the cashier Erin did not bother to try to make this work this one time. She also did not offer to ask the manager to help me out / give me a learning period of ONE time. I left the food at the counter and walked out, vowing never to go back to this store. Any PETCO. After regaining my cool, I telephoned the manager Cynthia while sitting in my car in their parking lot. She was giving me the same story as Erin. I understood. This is my mistake. However, this is my second time doing this system of bringing in this piece of paper with the barcode. Who would think that once the prescription information is in the computer that a piece of paper would be needed every time a purchase is made. Anyway, I informed Cynthia that I spend hundreds of dollars on pet food at that store and am still learning the system for using the prescription food purchases. I asked whether they could be flexible while a person is learning. I also said I did not plan to bring my regular business to them anymore if this is how they handle regular customers. Fortunately, Cynthia had enough managerial skills to offer to help me this one time. She offered to allow me to complete my purchase this one time. I returned to the store check out area and purchased the prescription food. This whole long review is just to say that: 1. Yes, I made a mistake not having the process down on my first try. 2. PETCO staff at this location did not really care - they are not trained to actually try to help the customer, even when it is in their own sales interest. They are willing to lose customers with inflexibility. 3. This PETCO location's manager Cynthia showed good managerial skills by meeting the customer partway and allowing this one-time mistake to be overcome and converted me back into a customer for that store, just by her good judgement and flexibility. Sometimes even when you shouldnt have to ask, it is worthwhile to ask. Talk with the manager.

I love this place!…read more You know how your kid bugs you for a fish tank and promises to take care of it only to lose interest as soon as the first pair of guppies dies? Well, that was me over 50 years ago except I never lost interest. I've been keeping fish and visiting fish stores around the country for my entire life. The people from World Of Fish who started RiverShore Aquariums have done a great job. Located not far from the original World of Fish, RiverShore has clean tanks, friendly and knowledgeable staff and they are super keyed in on planted tank setups. These days my tanks are relatively simple just to keep things easy, rocks and driftwood mostly, but I've been wanting to do a planted tank for a while. I know the basics but had some questions on substrate, plant selection and lighting for what is basically going to be a freshwater nanotank. The staff person who helped me was super knowledgeable, answered my questions and gave me some good advice for getting started. They had a good selection of different kinds of gravel as well as an assortment of driftwood and rocks. I liked that they have a table where you can do a little aquascaping trial and error before you make a final selection. The fish were high quality and appeared healthy. Most were smaller species suitable for planted tanks. I even discovered a new species that I had never heard of - anchor catfish. Super cool and perfect for my little nanotank. I know enough about fish and have been to enough fish stores to know which ones are really good. Rivershore is at the top of the list if you live in the Twin Cities, and especially if you're interested in giving planted tanks a try. Even if its plants aren't your thing or you are new to the hobby, I'd checkout Rivershore for your first aquarium.

You know that one friend whose house is always immaculately…read morepristine, such that -- no matter how recently or how well you've cleaned your own house -- you always feel a little self-conscious & guilty when you visit theirs? Rivershore Aquariums is that friend: All the tanks are SO clean, and so perfectly lit, and all the fish are ready for their closeups. It's like an aquatic Parade of Homes in there -- 0% chance of the "Oh gosh, that fish looks so sick, should I mercy-buy it & set up a hospital tank & try to save it? Or should I not give this place my money?" experience. You should definitely give this place your money. They also sold me the sweetest, most industrious little pleco I've ever had in my life. I bought her as a bristlenose pleco, but she's secretly some kind of Turbo Pleco -- as in, my tank gets direct sunlight (can't be avoided), and it had the algae to match, but a week after I brought my new plec'ling home, I found myself asking a visitor, "Hey, you didn't clean the inside of the 55gal while you were here, did you?" (Spoiler: No, I do not have tank-cleaning houseguests. I just have a magic pleco.)

The ambiance at this store is different than Bubbly Paws- no dog conditioner or cologne spray. It doesn't smell too great, but we got the job done with our dog. I like how the dryer is mounted above each tub for ease in getting your dog (semi) dry. My dog hated the dryer portion of the bath. Parking on Grand Ave worked fine, but there is a small shared parking lot outside the building if you can snag a space there. The larger portion of the store is pet treats, supplies, etc.

We're always impressed with how amazing Sizzle smells after his grooming (it lingers for days!) and how great of a job they've done at de-shedding and trimming him up in all the right places! They've given great advice previously about the right cut for his coat type which we also really appreciate. We've also used this locations mobile nail clipping services for both of our dachshunds and find it really convenient and slick!
