Teske Pet & Garden is a long-standing, smaller pet supply store that customers have frequented for many years, even decades, with entire families visiting since childhood. The store offers an assortment of different animals to look at and sells a wide variety of items including plants, fish, bird seed, cat and dog toys and treats, bedding, and specialty items like aquarium supplies and clumping cat litter. Many customers report regularly purchasing pet food, making special orders, and even obtaining their pets, such as cats, rats, and fish, from the business. The general atmosphere is described as a social event for pets, and the store is noted for being pretty clean for a feed store, with animals that appear happy and healthy. Most of the staff are consistently described as very helpful, friendly, attentive, and nice, contributing to many positive experiences. The aquarium section is highlighted as being nice with a solid selection, though one customer expresses a general sadness about feeder fish tanks. However, a significant point of criticism is directed at one specific older female employee with short hair and glasses. Multiple detailed accounts from a single reviewer describe this employee as being incredibly insulting, patronizing, and incorrect on several occasions regarding pet care information and customer service, including mishandling animals and arguing with customers over simple questions or corrections. This has led to a strong recommendation from that reviewer to steer clear of this particular employee, despite an overall love for the store and its other nice workers. The business is generally recommended for its variety and generally helpful staff.
