“Shea, our 9 mo. G.S, just got back from PetSmart grooming. WOW! We have been going here for a while with other pets and it’s always been good; this time was GREAT. Carla made our dog look incredible, with just a wash and brush. Plus, Shea is still a pup and very crazy and that did not bother them in the least. Thank you Carla and the rest of the grooming staff- great job!!!!”
“After a long day of Nasty attitudes at every pet appointment of the day I decided to get my pup a bone. When I tell you Pets Are Home was the Rainbow at the end of a storm. From the cleanliness to the staff being so helpful there’s absolutely nothing to complain about, let’s not forget the pricing being very reasonable. As I’ve gone other places and asked for help with certain things they’ve rudely told me to Google; not here though.
The owner was so kind to both me and my pup And helpful with all questions and also gave suggestions and gifted a few sample products. Thank you guys keep up the great work! Small business big heart!”
“The nicest shelter I've ever seen! I volunteer here and am constantly amazed at how unbelievably clean and well-maintained it is for the animals! The animals are treated like royalty, even though they might not feel like royalty, since they are in a new, loud environment. But I can assure you they are extremely well cared for: a very tough feat when you have hundreds of animals at any given time. This is a tight-run ship and the county does a great job here.
The adoption side of the building is very welcoming, clean, and staff are always helpful. I can't speak to the animal service side of the bldg, but I can't imagine it being much different. That side has a walk-in "pantry" where county residents can get free pet stuff (food, gear) any time. You just walk in.
The adoption side has a number of weeks during the year where there is no fee to adopt! Most dogs at the shelter are larger ones. There's a "small dog room" and those dogs tend to get adopted quickly.
Please adopt, don't shop! There are so many fantastic animals here and they all need homes.
Just FYI: If you come to browse adoptable dogs, there's no way to have 100's of dogs in an area and it NOT smell like dogs, or have lots of barking noise.
Highly recommend this shelter! Best facility and staff Ive ever seen at any type of shelter or county facility.”
“I just picked up my little girl from Elysiem. Yvette did a fantastic job! She gave my Phoebe a summer trim and left her looking like a little stuffed animal. She looks ADORABLE!!! I love the attention, gentleness and FANTASTIC job. I highly recommend.”
“Conveniently located but it goes beyond that. My wife and I were fostering a dog, I came here with a few questions. The gentleman behind the counter came around and showed me options for a teething puppy. He was very friendly, didn't try to hard push anything, and seemed to actually care by asking questions and engaging with me. Was very nice to experience because you don't find this in many places these days. Will be back
And the puppy LOVED his recommendation (and found his forever home)”
“I have been a client for nearly 30yrs. Richard installed our original fence and system, helped in pet fence training, and has maintained and repaired it for us over our 7 dogs and 1 cat who have lived with us and been on the invisible fence over this time, which had kept them safe from the road and adjacent risk locations. We greatly appreciate Richard’s prompt and professional services and support. He has been a great resource and we highly recommend his services!”
“Got my first pet fish and plants from here way back, its been like 5 years and the fish made babys with there brothers and sisters and died shortly, but I still have a big snale that came with one of the plants his name is gary. If you have kids or are a kid go there and get pets everything you could imagine is there, ocourse there arent really any exotic animals but if want a pet come here.”
“The vet was amazing as were the vet techs. My only minor complaint was the wait to check in but I totally understood why once I got up to check in and all my questions were answered thoughtfully and throughly.”
“This place has everything I need to not only take care of my 6 month old puppy but everything I can think of to pamper her as well. Their prices are reasonable, and the Grooming Salon here, at this location anyway, is top-notch.”
“Most of the time they have what I need. Sometimes it's hard to find someone to help you. It's almost like when you goto Home Depot and you need someone to help you but no ones anywhere to be found and you spend what feels like hours trying to find someone to help.... Which is very annoying but that's not really Petco's fault. It's the people who work there and Petco is just short handed ... So you just gotta take the good with the bad sometimes...”
“My dog has loved the training classes he took with Leslie over the past year. He misses the classes and still wants to go back to the “classroom every time we go back!”
“The store has a great selection of seed, birdhouses, and decorations. The staff members were friendly and helpful. I stopped in a while ago while we were just window shopping, and again today for binoculars. Each time I was greeted by helpful people who were knowledgeable and welcoming. I highly recommend this store for excellent service and selection!”
