It was the perfect day to shop Four Muddy Paws, because it was National Shop Your Local Pet Store Day. Yes, that is a real holiday. I was so glad to be able to stop by and support the original FMP. Since I moved to Illinois, I am now a regular at their Edwardsville store. Sophia got two new bandanas, two small iced dog treats and one big Happy Barkday Cookie to celebrate her special day. When we did our morning walk, we took the big cookie with us. As we meet her neighborhood friends, we broke off a piece of the big cookie and shared her celebration. The staff was new to me, but I was happy to see they still provided the good customer service that Four Muddy Paws is known for. I may be a regular in E-ville now, but I'll still hold a special place in my heart for the Lafayette store.

When I went a few weeks ago, it was Baxter's 2nd birthday so I let him sniff around and choose his birthday toy and treat. He was very excited to see other dogs walking around and wanted to be friends with everyone (humans and dogs)! The store offers a wide variety of treats as well as specialty treats for birthdays and gotcha days. The workers were also so friendly and when it was time to check out, I signed up for their rewards program and since it was our first time (and a birthday), they also gave me a small discount - which was much appreciated. I now know exactly where to go when Baxter needs more treats or toys. This local shop is just perfect for my little fur baby!

I've followed Dolly's Dream House rescue on Facebook for several months now, and everyone…read moreaffiliated does amazing work. I watched excitement as they found this location, and I had the pleasure of seeing the progress over the past couple of months. Finally, the grand opening was here! First off, this store is all things bunnies and bright pink! They have everything you can think of to ensure your bunny has an amazing enclosure full of toys, beds, towers, chews, and mats. They also have great food and treats, not the totally inadequate food you see in big name stores. Bunnies have a very specific diet, and feeding them things that aren't nutritious to them can be harmful and even fatal. The store also has human things, such as mugs, t-shirts, and bunny-themed gifts. Everyone who was working the day I came in were super helpful and polite. Best of all, they are genuine: they aren't looking to pressure you in to things you do not need. I could literally just hang out here and have a good time. The environment is inviting, bright, and cheerful. You can also meet bunnies, and who doesn't like that?! They often have adaptable bunnies "helping" in the store, and these bunnies are fully vetted and eager to find their forever home. All proceeds go straight back into the rescue, which is fantastic since so many bunnies are dumped around here and cannot survive without Dolly's and the epic volunteers and foster homes. Check this store out, even if you don't have a bunny companion. Who knows? You may meet your new best friend.

I normally don't leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience. I visited…read morethis rescue because I was interested in adopting a rabbit and had already been caring for my own bunny for the past three years, so I take rabbit welfare seriously. Unfortunately, my experience with the staff was disappointing. From the moment I arrived, I felt unwelcome and as though I was an inconvenience. The hospitality and customer service made me feel they were not interested in helping me through the adoption process, so I ultimately decided not to move forward. It's important to note this was a personal decision after considering other rescues as well. This was simply not the right fit based on my visit. What was especially disappointing was seeing a social media post that appeared to be directed at me, despite not being named. It portrayed me in a negative and one-sided way that I don't feel accurately reflected what happened. One line in particular--"Followers don't impress rabbits"--felt unnecessary, as I never brought up my social media following or requested any special treatment. My decision had nothing to do with social media and everything to do with my in-person experience. I actually liked the rescue itself--the facility was nice and the rabbits were beautiful. I had hoped to adopt and become a long-term supporter, but after being publicly referenced in that way, I no longer feel comfortable returning. Ultimately, my decision not to adopt was based solely on my experience with the staffs. I felt singled out afterward, which was very disappointing. No potential adopter should feel publicly criticized for choosing not to move forward. While I respect the work rescues do, professionalism and courtesy should extend to everyone who walks through the door, even if they don't end up adopting.

I was in a pinch to get my puppy groomed before leaving overseas, and since my usual boarding and…read moregrooming place was fully booked, I decided to give this place a try. I called to check their availability and scheduled an appointment for Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. Shortly afterward, they called to let me know they could get me in even sooner, and I was thrilled to take the earlier appointment. When I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the owner and then introduced to Ryan, who would be grooming Rocco. She took him back and let me know I'd receive a text when he was ready. When I came to pick him up, Rocco was happily playing in a playpen and having an absolute ball (pun intended!). The staff told me he did great and was a joy to work with. Before heading out, I took a quick look around the store. They have a great selection of organic dog food, treats, toys, and other pet supplies. I couldn't have been happier with Rocco's grooming. He looked fantastic, and the entire staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. It was such a positive experience from start to finish, and I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

We knew his pup was in good hands, because all of the handlers we met were so nice and understanding, and at pick up explained he had actually ran out of food in the morning and they supplemented. The facility is extremely well maintained, offers additional services to really make your furry family member feel at home or pampered.

That said, our interaction with Lance was surprisingly rude and dismissive. When we told him we'd been calling her "Mama," he rolled his eyes and said, "We have so many Mamas," like it was an inconvenience. When my friend offered to foster, he brushed her off, saying the dog would "probably get adopted quickly anyway" and that she could "maybe go on the website." He also made the whole intake process uncomfortable. I was sitting with the dog in my lap when he sat at a desk far away, asked for my ID (which my friend had to bring to him), and then slapped it back on the counter without a word. The entire time he was typing things in, he didn't explain what he was doing, what the next steps were, or even why he needed my info. I'm thankful they took the dog in, but the lack of kindness or communication really soured the experience. It shouldn't feel like a burden to bring in an animal who needs help.
