They are pleasant, efficient, detail oriented and my dogs are always delighted to see the owners or their employees. It wasn't until roughly a year after I'd been using their pet removal services that I discovered that they also own a hidden jewel of a pet store which specializes in "organic and holistic" dog and cat food AND they have free pet food delivery within a 12-mile radius of their store. What's even better? I am able to send a quick email to the store and know that later in the week this reliable business will have carefully delivered my order with no follow-up required on my part.

When Loyal Companion closed, I was wondering how I was going to get my dog's "specialty" (aka…read morenon-Petsmart/Petco) dog food and needs. Not only does it have a Banfield in the shopping center, but there's also eats and Trader Joe's you can pit stop at. This place is so convenient and I was able to walk in, get what I need, and leave. The employee was very friendly and helpful. The shelves were excessively overflowing and overwhelming. I'll def be back, thank you!

Absolutely recommend!!…read more About a week after buying a known 'quality' food on 'A**zon' online from an unknown seller, my cat began having "episodes" that the Vet DXed as as Seizures. Scared the spirit right out of me! The DX was a best guess and could NOT be verified by the Dr unless we went to neurologist bc as all his labs came back normal & the Vet didn't witness the episodes. They were happening after his b-fast & dinner & although the Vet INSISTED on Seizure meds & stated (with an attitude) that "food will NOT make a difference", I couldn't help but think that the food change could be bad & affecting him. I also read that low Taurine can cause the same issues in cats that mine was experiencing so I popped in this store, nervous & stressed, and the gent who offered to help me on a Monday morning, spent a great deal of time understanding what was going on, listening to my concerns with compassion & understanding, while being clear to state that he's not a Vet, he shared that Taurine comes from organ meat. I was ready to buy everything but he suggested to only make 1 change at a time to know if it's effective. He made a recommendation on food & treats w/organ meat and suggested to monitor & if all goes well, come back for a 2nd visit once we know the changes are effective to consider adding CBD, a multi supplement and wet food. The changes WORKED!! This guy KNEW their products & ingredients (said he worked in another locally run store for 9yrs I think), understands animals, & aren't going to oversell you because they truly care!

It's very warm/hot...due to moisture, lights, heaters. Not the worst fish store experience I've had, but I had to deep breathes to stay calm while moving about. Super packed with "stuff", so you'll prob find what you're looking for. Seemed somewhat on pricey side for tank decor, but fish seemed more normally priced. Haven't bought from them yet. Didn't find fish I was looking for. Not totally opposed to returning, but not thrilled to return either. So...just a 3 "meh" for me.

I also love the fact that they hand raise the baby birds so that they are calm and tame when they grow up. Every time I go to take Cheeks to get food, I always bring him so that he can see the other birds. I feel like it is a great way to bond with your bird and learn more about him/her. I will 100% recommend to someone who is torn between a new pet or new store to go to.

The brands stocked are reputable and not priced unreasonably for the consistent high quality that you will be receiving with many of these items. I would rather buy a cat bowl from a place with pet health in mind, which will account for the needs of the cat, rather than some random piece of plastic/potential lead infected made in China crap that may give my cat acne or make them sick. Your pet's health is worth it. On one occasion I entered the store, I overheard a clerk mention they weren't pleased with how a company responded to a cat getting sick to their product; so they removed it from their shelves. To me, this clearly shows they care about the well-being of the customers' pets! The food here ranges to accommodate all manner of diets. Raw/cooked, low processed, small-batch, locally/domestically owned business - high protein, low carb dry kibble - or a myriad of wet can varieties and brands to pick from. They sometimes provide free samples, which helps in trying new items for your furry friends when the price point can be steep.

Also, it's nice to support local businesses even with small purchases. Since Pets Are Home probably doesn't have the backing of a multi-million dollar corporation, the store is a bit smaller compared to your typically PetSmart and Petco spots. However, Pets Are Home definately has more charm than the two places that I mentioned. Overall, I thought the staff were super friendly and helpful. While I probably will not visit too frequently, I definitely hope to drop by from time to time to load up on some fun treats and speciality doggie biscuits for our pup. One slight inconvenience, which is not the fault of the store, the parking is bit tight in this small shopping center. *The parking situation seems to be a bit of a problem in this area.* So it might be best to visit during off peak hours.
