“My dog always comes back looking and smelling better! She’s constantly shedding but after her grooming she’s so soft and I can vacuum my house of dog hair and actually have it stay clean! And I always appreciate having the professionals clip her nails too, much quicker and less stressful for her than doing it myself! Thanks Emma and crew! Highly recommend!”
“Friendly to work with. Knowledgeable on their products. Best selection for the product line I was dealing in, equine feed. Old school, they carry the best selection in the state.”
“The absolute best pet store in the area! Employees are friendly and genuinely care about your pets. The selection is great - they carry more organic brands than your traditional Pet Smart. They also have a rewards program which is an added perk.”
“I have been battling yeast issues in my GSD for years and have tried many dietary and supplement interventions with no luck. I have even had to make a couple ER visits for it. I am so glad I found Benegest pro. It has made a night and day difference in my dog. His constant itching and licking has drastically decreased and he is much happier. I would recommend trying this supplement to anyone in a similar situation!”
“Friendly staff, competitive prices, great selection. Be on the lookout for deals throughout the store. Everything you need for cats, dogs, and small pets. So glad this spot is in Eliot!”
“As a part time groomer at Creature Comforts the post regarding the dog going without water is distressing. More distressing is a false review. Upon looking at the posters information, the poster has not brought a dog to Creature Comforts in over 2 years and never had the pet been here for grooming. I want to ensure that all the pets in for grooming are offered water at regular intervals as well as taken out to relieve themselves. Grooming animals will generally take a little water while here but not to the volume that they would when resting around their own home. The pets are going to act a little differently when out of their own environment as is normal. The staff does their best to ensure all pets are comfortable and shown compassion while here. This is why many of our staff members have been here for 10, 15, and 20 or more years.... as I have.”

“I didn't go inside except to pay for the chicken feed I bought. I've been to Agway many times over the years, but not this one. I found the site to be exactly the same as I remembered. The staff was very helpful by loading my car with the feed.”
“Bought the 3 pack on amazon and they are amazing. No more leatherman or tweezers. Find the little b***** and slide em off. Trap them in tape and be done with em. FANTASTIC!”
“We have been bringing our dog to see Kelly for the last 6 months and we couldn’t be happier with the job she does. In the beginning our dog was a little bit nervous with strangers but you would never know that now, he’s always so excited to see her!”

“My dog insisted we stop in on our walk. Apparently she knows where she's wanted! Lol We were greeted warmly and given lots of good info - along with lots of attention for my silly dog. Will be back Fri am to get a cool anxiety toy that was recommended for our rescue dog. (Can't take her into the store yet. She will get there. ???)
Thanks for the help and see you soon! ???”
“I have been a customer of theirs since they opened. Since they opened their standards for what they carry in the store have been second to none, their home baked goods are amazing. I can tell that as my dog(s) react different to theirs than any others. And I know they make them with healthy ingredients. The owners are very nice people who just want to give the best for the animals in our lives. Anything you get from them you can have confidence in, both in how much your dog would like it, and you as well.”

“We've had 2 dogs go here for daycare over the last 14 years. There is no other place we would trust as much. Kerry is the best, she loves all the dogs like they are her own. Their groomers are great too. The most important review is from our dog, she get pretty excited everytime we drove by.”
“Lisa Lisa Lisa you are our hero. This is only our 4th time bringing Poco to a groomer because it hasn't turned out also good for various reasons mainly not happy with results. We will be back. You did an exceptional job and we are delighted so is Poco. Thank you so much we highly recommend you. I”
“The best dog store in town. Small business but prices comparable to the big pet stores. Amazing selection of healthy dog food, treats & chews! Highest quality cow ears I’ve seen at a store. The online place I was buying jumbo cow ears for my dog stopped selling them but the ones I found here are the same if not better. They also have the cutest toys and sweaters. Even a genuine Grateful Dead dancing bear toys! I was thoroughly

“We went to the store for the first time today to get some booties for our dog Molly, we were assisted by Kaelyn, she was extremely helpful in helping us find the right size for our dog, she was very kind and courteous, she answered all the questions I had about making sure I had the right harness for Molly, what treats are best for helping my pets stay as healthy as possible, because of her attitude and willingness to help, while also being knowledgeable about pet needs, will definitely make me go back there for all my pet needs”

“Cheyna took my dog in for a full groom today and knocked it out of the park! Not only is my dog challenging to groom from a fur perspective but he’s really shy with new people.
Thank you for your patience and he looks great! His best groom yet!”
“Wow! This is an awesome shelter!
At another shelter we were treated with undue suspicion ( we cancelled our application after 10 days of background checks and no answer)
BUT the SPCA read our application and gave us an immediate pre-approval. The SPCA is friendly from the moment you walk in.
You will receive a volunteer or employee who will guide you through the animals, open crates, and answer questions. We went twice on crowded snowstorm Saturdays and the staff did a great job of helping people take turns with meeting animals. We spent 4 hours with cats and they never rushed us. They did not guilt us about anything about our lives. When they discovered that the cats we chose to adopt had a foster family note that the cats shouldn't be with dogs ( we have a dog), they told us all of the details and politely and respectfully discussed the situation and left it up to us to judge for ourselves whether we think we can prevent problems with the cats and our dog. We saw that another family wanted the cats, so we changed our choice to another cat that we bonded with. We were impressed that they treated us as competent pet owners instead of refusing adoption.
This shelter collects as much background info on the pets as they can, with the help of foster homes. They clearly cared about doing the right thing for each animal.
The shelter has clean spacious enclosures for cats and small animals ( that's all we saw) with plexiglas instead of metal bars. There are finger holes in some Plexiglas panels so you can speak, or put a toy on a stick through, or your fingers, to start the interaction.
It was very quiet in the cat area through good interior design and unstressed cats.
There are rooms for family interaction with an animal.
They're great with kids.
The adoptable animals listings on their website is kept current in that an animal is removed from the page immediately upon adoption. There are more animals than you see online, don't be discouraged from visiting if you don't see an animal in the listings that you like.
They were cleaning enclosures and bringing out newly cleared cats as cats were adopted. I have absolutely nothing negative to say! ♥️”
“Professional staff always willing to advise or help. Quality products w many choices. Vetco traveling vet provides a very valuable, affordable community service.”
“My bernedoodle had a scheduled haircut today. She was very matted and overdue for a cut. Her groomer did an amazing job on her coat and she looks great. Thank you Alisha for an excellent job on Frankie”
“I had never been to the store before today. What a great place! The smell reminds me of the ‘old hardware store’, that we would visit as children. Linda was extremely kind and very helpful.”
