At the very front of the store they have an ID station to make your tags. Their tags are WAY better than PetSmart, and less costly. Weighted, deeply engraved (not etched) 4 lines, $10. They have a do-it-yourself bathing station, you just purchase a single wash or a 5 punch card from the cashier. Aprons, towels, soaps, conditioners and even a blow dryer is in each stall. The stalls are different heights for different sized breeds. Quite handy to have my Frenchie at counter height for his shower instead of me being being on the bathroom floor hunched over. Each stall also has a pinch n slide collar to keep your Fido from being crazy and hurting himself. I can only attest to Dog related items, TONS. Collars, leashes and toys. All within budget. Dog treats, help yourself bins, low calorie training treats...this store really has it all, without having to be the size of Texas. Variety of good quality dog food, whether you want the grains or grain free, they have it! I HAVE to rank a 4 Star only because of the dead fish. There are just always so many dead fish.

When I came, to pick her up, there was "Hip Hop" music, playing very loudly, in the grooming area. The door between the reception area and grooming area is mis-aligned and needs to be pushed closed. They just slam it, sometimes, shaking the entire wall. As I was waiting, to pick up my dog, another dog was waiting to go in. It was a large mild mannered breed, but was just shaking at the thought of going in, and had to be forced in.
