On March 7th 2026 I brought my blueheaded pionus Ivy here for a nail trim. I had brought her here…read morebefore and knew these people and trusted them. I handed over my sweet girl and they broke her leg! It was a severe break and I have vet statement and Xrays to show it. She required a $3000 surgery to repair her leg, but never made it that far. She passed away from sedation. 18 years old and I've had her since since she was 10 months old. Gone....just like that! A healthy strong bird....my sweet Ivy girl. What happened to her has been just gut wrenching painful and heartbreaking! I miss her every minute of every day. They took my girl from me! PLEASE DO NOT take your birds here for grooming! Take them to a vet! Also know that there's another similar review from 3 years ago from a woman named Michelle from clifton park, so this has happened before! Don't risk your bird's life! It's fine to buy things here, but don't risk it please! It happened to me, it can happen to you! I'd give anything in the world to have that day back and just stay home.....my Ivy would still be alive and here with me! Also....no one wants to take responsibility for what happened to my bird in their care! They claim she must have done this to herself by flapping/thrashing around in the carrier! Vet Xrays show an injury that's so severe that this is very unlikely. Something happened.....behind a closed curtain. No one's admitting. See ya in small claims court! ​

They can even tell you the country of origin of all their products and regularly have sales in addition to a customer loyalty program. Sometimes you can also hear them co-hosting the bird shows on WAMC radio.

I called the…read morestore and the owner answered, he was extremely helpful, describing what he had in stock and the pricing, knowledgeable answers which convinced me to take a ride to Avon. I was not disappointed, they had exactly what I was looking for, and the quality looked to be excellent. They even gift wrapped the package, which was quite large. Ahh the pleasure of shopping locally. I have no idea where else I could have found the feeder, and the gift wrapping was the cherry on top. Unfortunately I've been conditioned to shop the big box stores, I'm positive I would not have found this anywhere else. Very positive experience, the owner and staff were really nice people. And my very special great niece, and future great nephew were very pleased with the gift as it matches their new house perfectly. Please note: This is a real review and not some friend of the owner or store. I know I always wonder about a ringer when I read a very positive review. This is not one of those!

This is a pet store located near the downstairs entrance to Macy's…read more They do have a good selection of items from breed specific gear like wall signs or coasters. Think "I love my Shih Tzu" type items. There was a decent array of dog clothing located near the front of the store. Fresh baked dog goodies are also available in a case by the register. Nice selection of leashes and a good amount of dog toys. They also carry items for smaller pets like hamsters and gerbils. If you are looking for travel pet carriers, they do have some. I don't love that they sell dogs here, so that's the only real con to this store. Would love to see them team up with a local rescue or humane society and give them space to showcase dogs who don't have homes. They also sell birds and smaller critters like hamsters.

There's an adoption center and I believe they do grooming and possibly training classes(?). I went to buy dog food, and they had a GREAT selection at really decent prices. Locally-produced foods from anywhere ranging from New York State to Michigan, not China. Prices were very fair, employees were nice and super helpful, and their "if your pet doesn't like it, return it for a full refund" made me feel very comfortable trying a new brand. My dog loves the new food, too, so it's unlikely I'll switch back. I highly recommend this store. They're only open until 6pm most days, so make sure to get there earlier than later. Worth the trip.
