“When I went to get my dog some new food there was an extremely helpful employee named Brennan helping me pick out the best option for my little pup. He seemed like he really loves animals and wasn’t just working for the money but to enjoy the joy of pets.”
“Perfect shop to find the essentials and more. Staff is very friendly, to you and your pets, and very knowledgeable. They have more than one store, and can coordinate between them for finding that one particular item.
Was not able to test their grooming services, however the setup looks fabulous!
Will definitely return whenever we're in town!
Thank you all!”

“I am so grateful for the lady there who helped me with my puppy and his medication side affects. She educated me on why quinoa is better than rice and about slippery elm to help digestion.
It's been a week! But he is actually settling vs the crazy hungry valsoraptor he has been all week. Poor guy.
I am deeply grateful. Thank you. Both og the ladies working Saturday on Mom's day. (Soft serve ice cream 🤣 ill never forget that.”
“I love the fact that you aren't overwhelmed with all the frills. We are often led to believe we are better pet owners if we buy all the marketed products. Thank you for keeping it real.”
“They just about always have what I need and they're prices are great. I like that I don't have to save my reciepts- I'm on their rewards system, so they can look up purchases. It makes returns super easy!”
“We’ll be loyal customers for life. Jett and Monkey’s has everything you need for your dog, plus the expertise and care you just don’t get at big brands. Jennifer helped me find allergy-friendly options for my sick pup who wasn’t eating or drinking, and her recommendations worked perfectly. Highly highly recommend!”
“I have always had a positive experience with them. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and friendly. They are willing to go out of their way to help their customers.”

“My cat got her nails trimmed and got claw caps put on for the first time here, and it was a wonderful experience. It was much cheaper than anticipated, about $20 for front paws only and $25 for front and back. The groomer did a wonderful job with my kitty, I couldn't hear any sort of protesting from my cat throughout the experience. It was also surprisingly quick! It only took about ten minutes, and I spent that time browsing for gourmet cat treats!”
“A great place that puts the animals first. They take care of the animals needs, wellbeing and make sure they go to loving homes and not just a first come first serve kind of place.”
“Dog wash is clean, good prices on all the products. Always friendly and helpful people here. Frankie got a bath there and it was awesome. The changes made here are awesome!”

“I bought chick starter feed here. It was very reasonably priced and they carried the large bag out to my car. Bonus points for how helpful they were in directing me to my next destination and for having 2 adorable/friendly store kitties, Oats and Maize.”
“I just had a wonderful interaction with who I assume is the manager of this petsmart location. You can tell she really loves her job and helping customers. My cat was recently diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and she expressed that she had a cat who sadly passed with the same diagnosis and told me that she had the same issues I had. She was very helpful In finding different options for my picky easter and overall a pleasure to talk to. Im really glad she was working today to help me!”
“Amazing customer service and wonderful staff. They were super helpful even when I couldn't find something, we found it together. I always feel welcome here, like family!”
“Nice pet store with wonderful staff.Very organized and clean.You can bring your pet in aside.They do offer obedience classes and accessories for reptiles in Philippines.Small mammals and a fish”
“I always know where to find what I want. Just wish the heavy boxes of litter was not up on the top shelf. It is hard for an old lady to get down . Nice staff there.”
“It’s not corporate so it’s different but no animals r starving or being mistreated. They r not in their forever homes as they r in a pet store. There are many animals here and my kids walk over just to see them and hold a ferret etc. the guys always nice and helpful and this is my favorite pet store and has been since I moved to Iowa almost 14 yrs ago”
“I adopted Armando on 9/27/25, and it truly changed my life. He has been the single greatest presence in my life and has helped carry me through some very difficult challenges. I cannot recommend this shelter enough, the staff thoughtfully guided me toward Armando, understanding his specific living needs and how perfectly they aligned with my lifestyle.
He filled a hole in my heart and has helped mend my soul in ways I didn’t know were possible. Armando came to me in beautiful condition, though he was understandably struggling with overstimulation from the shelter environment. It was clear he had been well cared for, and the compassion of the staff shone through in how deeply they wished the best for both of us. Truly a remarkable and life-changing experience.”
“So glad to have found this store. He is very knowledgable and helpful. Im working on establishing a new tank and received some awesome pointers. I look forward to coming back for more fish and supplies!”
