They also have really cool natural treats, like pig ears and similar pet chews, toys and other stuff. If you feed raw, this should be your go-to. The owner is super sweet and helpful and organizes doggy social days from time to time, and she also fosters kitties from Hyde Park Cats, so you might get lucky and pet an adorable kitty up for adoption.

This store came to my attention as a GoFundMe page, oddly enough. I passed by here on my way to a…read moreclinic in the area many times but it was usu closed in the morning. Then I saw on Nextdoor that Amanda Daniels was in danger of closing via GoFundMe. Instead of donating I decided to go in and make a purchase, as she carries a brand we use for our cat. The store has a nice variety of brands, and if she does not carry something, she can most likely order it. She is a very hardworking, approachable and knowledgeable owner and animal lover, but is at times overwhelmed with responsibilities. Her strength is apparently grooming dogs, as she always seems to be doing it when I arrive! I can't speak to her work there, but it must be awesome if she is always busy doing it. There is no clerk/cashier on duty, she does it all herself. This has led to some' misadventures' but she is very quick to rectify a problem with utter graciousness. Hopefully she can hire someone soon. If you are in the Bronzeville area, definitely stop in to check out the variety of food and supplies, if your pet is adventurous, but also if you have a dog that needs grooming!

The team members are knowledgeable and answer questions accurately and politely. They don't just try to force you to buy things you do not need. They will order anything that they don't have in stock, and they carry all major brands. The store is clean and inviting.

Renzo was really good with my nervous dog and did a great job at getting his nails short and even. I picked up a few treats for my dog that are hard to find elsewhere. I thought their loyalty program was also pretty robust. You earn lots of points and get rewarded with free product for repurchasing brands. I'll definitely be back to Kriser's! My dog loved sniffing around and picking out a few treats. It was a fun stop for the both of us.

The staff is knowledgable, accommodating, and very friendly and the fish selection is the BEST in the Chicago city limits. Other stores focus more on custom tanks, maintenance, plants, etc. but this store really focuses on having fish - and lots of them! Not knocking the other stores, but this store is about as fun to walk through as it is to actually go home with your new fishy friends! Who else has an almost constant stock of Discus, Stingray, RARE Blue Parrot Cichlids, and a Flowerhorn or two? Come on! I did go in once to get some Rummynose Tetras and they didn't last past the week... but the staff - especially the owner - were really great helping me out the next time I came through to make sure my issues were resolved. The staff has always cautioned me against a purchase if it's not the right fit and helped me find something that goes well with whatever tank I am currently stocking. Honestly, this is one of my favorite places to go AND it's super close to Chinatown so I can zip over for some good eats before or after my visit. When the pandemic has subsided, I plan to bring friends and family here to see how cool my favorite LFS is before grabbing some dim sum.

One reviewer named Rachel managed to grab a couple of pictures of the filthy stagnant low water fish tanks. They don't allow anyone to take pictures, because the reptiles and birds are kept in even worse conditions. with the majority of their birds being stuffed in very overcrowded small cages, until someone buys them or they die. They will cheat you and sell you animals that they know aren't the correct sex that you were looking for. Like selling female canary's for the price of singing males. And they often have endangered species of exotic birds for sale. This store is as cruel, inhumane and filthy, like a slave trade for animals. They should be inspected for their numerous health violations, and shut down.
