K - 9 Specialties is a large, long-established pet supply store known for its unbeatable and great prices, which are usually better than bigger chains and online discount retailers. The store offers a huge selection and big variety of supplies, including food, treats, toys, grooming and show supplies for dogs, cats, pet birds, and wild birds. It has more variety of dog foods than most big box stores, though selection for small animals, fish, or reptiles is limited. The warehouse-style store is no-frills and can feel small when busy. A notable complaint is that the store often smells very strongly of cat urine. However, the staff is consistently described as nice, helpful, knowledgeable, and absolutely amazing. They are known for providing excellent service, offering to order out-of-stock items and notify customers upon arrival. The store is open Monday through Saturday. While phone service can be sketchy due to a single line, the business remains a reliable and favorite go-to store for many pet owners, offering significant savings on everything needed for pets.
