Absolutely worth the drive out. Lots of great fresh and saltwater selection. I got a beautiful sea urchin and two awesome little decorator crabs for my saltwater fish tanks, who are all in good, healthy condition. Lots of other really cool sea creatures I am excited to go back and get and look at! Not to mention everything is very reasonably priced. Teddy greeted us right away when we walked in and was very polite, kind, and enthusiastic! Altogether a great experience, and looking forward to returning.

We particularly love that they host adoption fairs and have comfortable seating areas if you want to hang out with your dog or with other dog lovers in the store.

I felt like I was coming home for my pets. These people get it. I buy premium dog food for my…read morepuppers because it's better for them AND in many ways it saves me money. First, I can feed them less because there are less fillers which saves them calories and lowers my bill. Also, my dogs are healthy. They have good coats, ears, etc. So less veterinarian bills. They have almost all the Fromm's dog foods. They have other good brands too but I've been buying Fromm's for so long because they are consistently a good food and all of my babies like it, regardless of which flavor. So it's a major win. They also have healthy treats, good leashes and collars, toys, etc.

Stay away from this place if you are looking for grooming! I…read morealways made my next appointment when I picked up my dog. So my appointment came up and I dropped my dog off at 10:00 for her 10:00 appointment. Right at 1:00 I get a call saying the groomer is having car issues and wouldn't be coming in. I can understand things happen unexpectedly but here is where I have an issue. She was supposed to be to work at 10:00 but you call me 3 hours later to tell me she wouldn't be coming in. At 11:00 when she hadn't showed up, I should have been called and told the situation and given the option to wait and see if she showed up or if I wanted to reschedule. I wondered around for 3 hours just waiting to pick up my dog. I should have been told what was going on! So on to what happened after. I had a call with the "manager". He told me the groomer would definitely be in the following Saturday and rescheduled me for that day. He also offered a discount. Ok fine. Saturday I drop my dog off again at 10:00. I got a call about 12:30 stating the groomer wouldn't be in because of yet again, car trouble. So the manager said he spoke with the groomer and she told him the car was fixed and she would be in. He scheduled this appointment and now I find out he lied! He offered to pick my dog up one day during the week and bring her to the place to be groomed. Some may feel comfortable with their dog being driven across the river by a stranger but I'm not one of those people! They also offered to pay for a company to come get her and again, that's not a good option. How on earth the groomer that hasn't shown up to work in weeks still have a job is beyond me. One of the workers gave me a name and email of the owner because I wanted to speak with them about what went on. Well she gave me a name and email but not of the owner. After walking to the back twice I guess the workers decided it would be funny to not give me the correct information. This place is ridiculous with the lies. The last text I sent o the manager went unanswered of course. Just do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. This place sure isn't worth your time or money!!!!

First, let me say that the selection of fish is usually pretty good. However, the last time I was…read morethere, they had just gotten a large shipment of fish in. It was going to be a week before they would be available to be purchased. I didn't want to wait a week, so I bought a few fish here that day but then went somewhere else to buy much more. My complaint and frustration with this place is lack of service. You have to go find someone to help you, and then they act like it is inconvenient. They are slow as all get out in catching the fish and bagging them. It is crazy how slow they are. I am tempted to grab the net out of their hand and catch the fish myself. I get frustrated every time I shop here because of the lack of service and the slow speed of service. I do hope they get better.
