A mini spa for your pup 🐶. The only place I take Bubba Joes for a bath. They even play spa music. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

– S … [Salyna Nguyen]

Highly recommend this location. Not to mention their super friendly staff, they also have self serve dog wash which are very convenient. It has enough spaces and also very neat where they provide dog treats for your pet. [Han Jessie]

This locations pet value is very nice with good customer service and good products.

I especially enjoy the self-serve bath for our three border collies. It is always clean and has lots of different kinds of shampoo for dogs by the tub.

It’s really worth trying!

Highly recommend! [Min Lee]

The young man working in the fish department needs to chill. He is trying to act like a big shot, yet he couldn’t tell the difference between a male and female platy. The reason I went, was to buy an algae eater because mine died after 8 years. He wouldn’t sell me one because it would kill my other fish. WHAT?! [Cheryl Zimmer]

Good selection and good prices. However, one must really carefully watch the prices that sale items ring up as. In my experience they almost never come up as correct – coming up as the non-sale price. Even when the promotion is for a month or more the price is never corrected. This means you pay more if you don’t watch and if you do watch you spend more time as you wait for the clerks to verify the price is correct and to figure out how to correct the bill. [Todd Tyrtle]

I always get my good girl a bone from pet smart. A cow femur that’s the size of her was the latest purchase and needless to say she loved it. [Peter Ehmann]

The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Always giving great recommendations for my sweet Mango boy. 🐶 … [Malcolm J. Cardoza]

Your response is not the truth and you know it. Playful puppy????  The dog was rambunctious not playful.  No one saw the dog jump me???  You did and it seems your manager did as he was familiar with the situation when I called later that day.  As I stated, you have little regard for customer comfort or safety. This is not a response of a conscientious owner.

While in the store recently a strong medium sized dog jumped me from behind while I was looking for an item near the store entrance. The owner who had  difficulty controlling her dog….even when leashed. . could see I was uncomfortable around her dog.  I moved away from them and the dog jumped me.  The store owner saw this.  I advised her I have a back problem (and clearly I was upset).   Her only response was a very cold stare…. she said nothing.!   This is a small store and it was busy at the time.   There is very little room to move around, particularly at the front.   As a senior and after advising the owner of my situation, I expected a civilized, reasonable response, not a cold stare.  I later suggested perhaps medium or large dogs should not be in the store when it is busy as space is so minimal and merchandise jams the aisles.  Her response to this was negative.   This owner appears to have little regard for customer comfort and safety. [Barbara Willis]

In response to your comment— I’ve only lived here now 6months.

After coming here to your review section I’m not surprised by your response. One sided always.

I’ve already found a new pet store with much better customer service. I stand by everything I said.

Completely disappointed with the manager here.

I purchased raw food recommended by one of your employees the day before. She specifically said let us know if your dogs like the food and turns out my dogs did not like it, so I went out of my way to call the next morning so I didn’t walk the 15 min there and back for no reason.

I explained this to the manager he said we will take it back. Great, head over just for him in person to now say we will not take back raw food. I said why didn’t you tell me that on the phone..  he said you didn’t ask. I said .. you should have asked me if it was raw or not. You’re the manager you know the return/exchange policy. Which is why I called first.

You were quite rude in the store, you would not even let me just exchange it for something even though you made the mistake and you told me basically, to leave and to write a review so here you go.

You lost a good customer for many many years over $17.99 terrible customer service. [April Ann]

Went to return an item within a few days.  Despite doing the transaction with a male employee, a woman next to us consistently and rudely interrupted our conversation to bark questions as to when I bought it and if SHE felt it was worthy of return.  There was no clear identification of the store policy, and she acted as if I was not there, did not acknowledge me at all, and ended up saying in the most disrespectful, rude and haughty tone, “If it’s under a week FINE, but if it’s more than that I’m not doing it!”  Nobody asked her in the first place.  The person serving me was doing just fine.  She butted into our transaction loudly pounding him with questions my answers of which she ignored.

She was identified to me as the manager by the employee who was serving me.  Complete opposite of the professionalism and kind customer service of the person who was serving me.  Complete lack of regard for customers and she really appeared to hate being there. [Beth]

Super helpful and knowledgable staff. One of my dogs has serious allergy issues, and they were able to recommend food based on her breed and dietary needs. The food has been a hit with my girl! [Christen N. James]

I love the variety of rabbit and small pet supplies they have. Not a lot of pet stores have a wide selection of rabbit stuff like they do! [Cess Yu]

Went to buy a budgie for a little girl we know. Lots of beautiful birds but the vibe is so weird. You’re not allowed to take pictures? We wanted her to choose her bird via photos so we went somewhere else.

Despite other reviews, the lady was nice. It’s my dream to organize and rearrange this store so the birds are in the front window instead of a dark corner you’re not even allowed to go in.[Laura Dawe]

Got a baby pineapple conure two months ago. Best decision ever. She’s so sweet and friendly. The lady at the shop was very helpful and kind. Great experience. Will be back again sometime in the future 🙂 [Mani Misra]

I went here to check it out looking looking for some pet supplies. As soon as I entered the store the owner started recording me on her phone for no reason. I felt very uncomfortable and asked why are you recording me and she did not response and kept following me and recording me. I didnt even get to walk 2 feet inside the store and she started recording me. I did not like this behaviour as it felt very sketchy so I left. When I got into my car she came up and started recording my car and license plate. I do not think this how you should treat your customers especially new comers to your store. This is very unprofessional for a business to operate like this. I am a visible minority and I felt this lady racially profiled me. Its very unfortunate because I was looking to purchase some food for my pets to support this small business. PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE [Dragonite]

Fantastic store for any bird fanatics!!Awesome variety of good quality bird seed ,books on birds ,bird baths,bird houses, bird feeders you name it, even bird socks .Its a must and reasonable prices ! Remember you pay for what you get !! Highly recommend it !! 👍7 … [Lisa Hall]

Wow this place is just great. The gentleman at the service desk was very kind and friendly, willing to answer all your questions. This store has such a good selection, wonderful prices, and it’s a beautiful store. There is an upper level with additional stock as well! The bird earrings are fantastic.

Have a good vacation on the east coast sir 🙂 [Jill Marie]

Great bird and nature store!  Lots of different seed types, and sizes.  Service is unbeatable, which I would expect at a nature store.  Rating a 6 if I could!

Located on the north side of the mall, just near the beer store.

The quality of merchandise offered is second time none.  I build my own bird feeders, and am impressed with the number and quality of the feeders offers here.

I picked up peanuts for our resident picky Blue Jays.  Nice to see 50 lb bags, a lot of places offer the smaller bags at higher prices.

There are also a lot of books and other associated paraphernalia to birding.

If you need something for your featherd friends, the Urban Nature Store has it! [kenny l]
