    Wardle Feed & Pet Supply - A 4 week old "hen" with a large comb that turned out to be a rooster

    I have had the worst experiences with Wardle's and just want to warn others…read more In June 2024, as a brand new chicken owners, I bought 3 Rhode Island Red hens from them. I was not able to go into the coop with the sales associate so he just went in, grabbed whatever three hens he could get and put them in my carrier. When I got home and took them out, I noticed one could barely walk. I tried to give her some rescue 911 electrolytes in her water and access to food thinking maybe getting scooped up and put in a box and then being in a car for 15 minutes was a stress on her nervous system and she just needed some time to acclimate. I called Wardle's to tell them what happened and asked if I could switch her for another hen. The manager told me no because she could be sick... even though that meant they had just sold me a sick chicken. She struggled for weeks. We had to keep her in a separate coop and spent countless dollars on a ton of different supplements trying to figure out what was wrong with her and to keep her alive. Finally we tried Vitamin B12 and after a few days of it in her water, she able to walk normally. Although she was always a pretty sickly chicken and not even a year later we found her dead in the coop one morning (no sign of attack or any injuries). Fast forward to September of 2025. We wanted to get a few chicks to raise and integrate with our flock. Against my better judgement, we went back to Wardle's to get chicks. They only had 4 week olds and again, we weren't allowed in the room where the brooders were to pick the ones we wanted so we just told the associate how many and which breeds. We got 3 gold laced Wyandottes, a Rhode Island Red and a Barred Rock. I looked in the box and noticed one of the hens had a pretty big comb. I asked if that was normal because we definitely didn't want a rooster. They assured me it was a hen. 3 months later, our "hen" has started crowing. We can't have roosters in Lakewood so now we have to find someone to take him or cull him. It breaks my heart. Of note, since then we have ordered chicks from McMurray and Meyer's Hatchery and had really healthy, beautiful, hens. Not a single rooster. I would highly recommend ordering from a hatchery over buying any chickens from Wardle's!

    Gotten chicks from these guys for years. Great place to get chickens and feed. They have a plethora…read moreof hardy breeds that do well in Colorado weather and lay various colors of eggs too which is fun to have a rainbow in your fridge.

    I have brought my dog to PetSmart multiple times. I've never had an issue. Typically, because my…read moredog's coat dries so quickly, by the time I get home, they have called me to come back and get him, so about 45 minutes. Last Thursday, 5/7/26, I had a 1:30 pm appointment with one groomer and was called and offered an earlier one because they had lots of openings. I had never been to this PetSmart, but was using it because I was leaving Denver that afternoon and let the woman know that I didn't have a car anymore and needed to pick it up at noon. Their location was closer to the highway and after my car appointment and I was hoping I would have the car in time for the 1:30 appt. She asked if I'd like to come at 2 pm and I said I'd rather stay at 1:30 because I was really trying to get out of town, but kept that time in the back of my mind. While I was at the rental place I saw that I was not going to make the 1:30 time so I called to see if the 2 pm time was still an option. It was, so I locked that time down and got the car and rushed home. I gathered up my pup and threw my luggage into the car. I called on my way and let them know I was coming. I told them I'd be there by 2:15. They said I'd be fine. I arrived at 2:10. The person who they ended up assigning me was different, fine, I was late, had changed my appointment. She took my pup back after I did the paperwork. He wasn't happy, but what pup ever is? I asked another groomer if she knew a place I could get a manicure while he was being groomed. (No cut, just bathed, nails, and extra brushing for shedding.) She didn't have any suggestions, so I turned to google and found a place close by. Two and 1/2 hours later I was concerned because I hadn't received a text or call from the groomer, especially since it's typically only 45 minutes for him. I rushed my service to finish and drove back to the groomer and when I walked in I couldn't find anyone. I could hear my dog barking in distress in the back. I went in and out looking for a staff member and finally someone emerged. I asked if he was done and was told he didn't like the blow dryer, so was put in the kennel to air dry. (I think him hating 15 min in the blower is not nearly as bad as hating over 2 hours in the kennel, but hey, that's just me.) I said something to the effect of how he had been there for 3 hours already and why wasn't he done and I have to be in Omaha, NE tonight, and was told "our appointments take 3-4 hours." I again told the groomer that I needed to leave, I had to get on the road. She asked if I'd like to pay for him and she would get him ready and to come back in 15 min. I said yes and was given the page with his info on it & checked out. I had requested a bath & brush plus the spring special with 15 extra minutes of the furminator. I went back and got him. He was still wet, was barely brushed, and honestly, I don't think he got his nails trimmed or his sanitary area clipped as directed. The nails are still long and not filed and his sanitary area is grown out from his last grooming. I paid nearly $75 at 6:25 pm and didn't get him for another 30 minutes. He was still wet. $75 for a bath, 4 1/2 hours of stress in a kennel for my pup, and a snot nosed attitude from a groomer that I tipped only so I would remember her name. I sure won't forget her face and she will never touch a hair on my dog's head again.

    I had a wonderful experience with my dog in the grooming salon. Spencer was so friendly and helpful…read moreeven when my dog was nervous getting groomed he reassured me it was very normal. When I got my dog back they looked amazing. I will be choosing him as my groomer in the future for sure.

    I am convinced these people are aware that they are getting puppies from a puppy meal wherever…read moretheir breeder is out of state. We've bought two puppies from them about 15 years apart and both of them had serious medical issues. Most recently we had to put down within 10 months of getting her. The person that was talked to at the store had no empathy that dog had died and said well that happens sometimes. you're required to sign a one year guarantee that if the pet passes away within that time, you may be entitled to a refund. That form right there seems wrong of itself Despite the puppy having a genetic disorder, no one has zero empathy that your pet just died no matter how old it is. When you get defensive right off the bat about having to sign a piece of paperwork, you know you're doing something wrong. I hope the pain of guilt you felt when we told you that Chloe died sticks with you for the rest of forever. They said they were not going to change any of their practices and have been doing the same thing for over 50 years. This is extremely concerning to me and will be reported to the local Humane Society the Better Business Bureau and anyone else we can think of in order to stop puppies from being sold at this location. Whatever your reply is business owner you can't stop us now. Enjoy looking at the puppy that you is no longer with us.
