“Since google only allows one review, I am deleting the previous one and providing this update.
If there was a way to leave more stars, I would.
Yesterday my senior chocolate lab collapsed in the parking lot on our way in to our monthly grooming appointment. She has Lar Par (airway collapse and isn't a great surgical candidate) and she was in crisis-unable to breathe. She needed an emergency airway right there. I work in medicine so that feeling of helplessness and sheer terror set in. As I watched her gums turn blue, certain she would die right there, the Animal Hut staff came rushing out to assist and help console her. Miraculously, she pulled through & they helped me get her in the car. I cannot be more grateful for their kindness, compassion and hugs.
She had a restful night and we're just cuddling & taking it moment by moment.
Please give this small business your support. They truly care. A rare treat in this world these days.”

“Most amazing store, with the friendliest but also MOST knowledgeable staff...do not carry any hides of any sort beef hide rawhide , everything is natural and healthy and safe for dogs....prices are amazing and will go the extra step to help anyway possible..”
“Stopped in today with my golden Cheerio. The owner was super friendly and we had such a nice experience, wished we lived locally because we’d be visiting all the time!”
“8-Year-Old coonhound had his first bath and a much-needed nails. He's real touchy about his paws. Not an easy handle but they did it easily. He came on looking beautiful”
“You see the face of this dog? That's the face of a dog who has destroyed every indestructible toy she has had her teeth on. It says destroy proof for heavy chewers? She finds the one weakness in 2 minutes and it's torn apart.
I go to this store and they recomend me toys that are meant to be destroyed. They have multiple layers to rip off and a little surprise in the center.
It has been a month and a half, and she has only just now starting ripping out the inner layers through one teeny tiny hole she has been working on.
Hands down the best toy I ever bought as it's lasted her a thousand times longer than anything else. She goes crazy on it every day!
Love the workers that recommended it to me. Many toy options to find.
Also a nice wide selection of dried foods and fish for cats. Extra protein for my picky eater!”

“All the staff are so kind and caring. They look after my little old lady Bella like she is one of their own. She's 16, a bit deaf, a bit blind but still has separation anxiety so leaving her at home when I'm at work isn't an option. They have been fantastic with her.”

“Sierra always does a wonderful job grooming my finicky Pomsky and turns him from a ragamuffin into a handsome boy with the cutest fluff butt ever! She is kind, caring and patient with him and I highly recommend both her services and the Dog Spot for all they offer!”
“Patty is the best of the best! If you have a small breed dog and are looking for a daycare or boarding service for your next trip, you can trust Patty with your angel. I never worry on vacation because I know Maizy is in the best hands!!!”
“Very nice variety of reptiles, arachnids, insects, isopods and other animals. Expo is held in the back theater area anteance. Nice place for the event! Many vendors...
Roads in that entire area of Pittsburgh Mills Mall are horrible. Extreme number of very deep potholes to dodge!”

“I order on lol ne with no problem. If what I order is in stock, I have the item the next day. Very fast service. If you need help someone is always able to help you.”
“Wide variety of cat and dog foods. Large selection of fantastic quality treats and supplements. Fair prices. Parking can be difficult if there's more than 2 people picking up but it is worth it. I think this food has kept my dogs healthier than commercial dog food ever could. I used to source everything myself but this is much more convenient.”
“This is a great place to take our 6 month old Callie for the day of play! We have a small yard, and she has nowhere to run. She is worn out after a day of playing with other dogs and running all day.”
“This store literally has everything you need. Greeted when you walk in. The staff and manager were extremely knowledgeable of all animal curiosities that came their way. 3 Self-service dog washing stations that were disinfected after each use. Great place!”
“First time there and I will definitely be going back. The girls are beyond wonderful and the shop is adorable. Both my dogs look amazing after a day at the doggie salon!”
“This is a great little shop! I came in looking for a specific food for my lab with food allergies and the owner got me something better quality. He has a high standard of what he sells and is friendly. Great little spot to support I'll definitely make this my primary shop for anything my dog needs.”
“My 8# Yorkie had been injured by a groomer at the Dog Stop on Washington Blvd. I waited 3 months b4 taking her anywhere for grooming b/c I wanted to allow Lilybear to decompress from her trauma. A friend recommended Janice and despite the fact that LilyBear immediately attempted to bite Janice, Janice persevered & was able to complete a mini groom. I’m so grateful - hopefully, next time Lilybear will be a little more calm. I’ll definitely return!”
“Pretty Birds is the ONLY place I will EVER go for bird grooming. I have 2 parrots, an African Grey and a Yellow Naped Amazon. "My birds bite," I said. And in response, Don handled them like they were old friends! No biting, he even shaved their beaks and they didn't even cry! Don has love and compassion for birds and their humans. I learned more from him than anyone in all my years of having parrots! Pretty Birds is a Bird Boarder. Be sure to make an appointment for your bird's grooming needs.”
“Took my cat here to get groomed.
The lady there was very nice & mentioned couple things I did not know. Obviously this lady knows a lot about cats.
I will definently come back here!
Both me and my cat is now happy after coming here ?”
“Leah, was absolutely amazing! She deserves to be a manager. Great customer service at its finest. She wasn’t only beautiful, but helped us figure out which dog would fit with our family. Also, she explained everything regarding the dogs we looked at today. She deserves more than 5 ✨ stars.”

“Glynn has been servicing my 72 gallon tank for close to 10 years now. He has a wealth of knowledge that he draws from to give you the best and most appropriate service to keep your tank alive and healthy. Whatever he’s suggested has always worked. I’ve had tanks most of life and dealt with a lot of service people over the years- he’s the BEST.
My advice to anyone looking for a custom build, someone to service a preexisting tank, to add fish or anything that has to do with tanks- STOP and call Glynn- you’re done looking!”
“I've been bringing my dog, KoKo, to Vetco Vaccination Clinic for nearly 8 years for her vaccinations and and general check up. The Vet and employees have always been very caring when handling my dog. I like how they keep me informed of her health and wellbeing.”
“Absolutely LOVE going to this place to see all their critters and things. Only place I go to get my snakes and geckos food.Very Clean and friendly, know their stuff. Check them out ?”
“I could write paragraphs and paragraphs about the staff here. Incredible place and people.
We see Dawn in grooming and she knows exactly who our little Latte is and what we want. Generally she takes her back for doggy daycamp where all of the staff know our dog by name. The entire day camp team take the time to really know the dogs and they very obviously care.

“The staff is always helpful and polite. My dogs love the Whole hearted dogfood with the tender shreds in the beef flavor. Had a couple extra dogs for a few days that don't care for dry dogfood but they chowed down on the Whole hearted plus without any added incentives.”
“From the moment I walked into Gibsonia (Store #2869), the staff went above and beyond to help me get my brand new baby girl set up for her furever home.
Anne was incredibly sweet and helped me shop for my little girl, Edith. She walked me through every aisle and gave such thoughtful recommendations.
Tyler was so kind and great to talk to at checkout. He even helped me bring my fully loaded cart out to my car while my hands were full!
Danielle was wonderful with Edith and gave me great recommendations for grooming services. She even gave her a heavenly little spritz of scent!
And the store manager, Nicola — what a truly wonderful soul. She was kind, helpful, generous, and helped calm my nerves during such an emotional and exciting time.
This team truly went above and beyond. They are an incredible asset to the store and make it run so smoothly and professionally.
Thank you all so much for your kindness and help — Edith and I appreciate you more than you know!”
“This Petco store sells merchandise such as foods, accessories, beds, carriers, toys, and hygiene products for dogs, cats, fishes, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small household pets. When I shopped in this store, I bought my cat's favorite flavors of wet foods for a typical price. The prices, however, for her dry food, toys, furniture, and litter were higher than what I could get online. The cashier did a very good job of ringing up my purchase. This Petco also offers grooming, training, veterinary services, and adoptions.”
“Marcey and Eric really know their stuff when it comes to pets! I would highly recommend shopping here. I got my Bella here almost 5 yrs ago. Marcey still remembers Bella and asks how she is doing. To me that really shows how loving and caring they are with pets. When I have questions about dog ears or how to cut nails, their staff is always helpful and willing to answer my questions.”
“I get really disappointed reading all of the negative reviews when I visit this location because every time I come in it’s smells wonderful, and after I’m hit by the smell I notice how clean the store is. It has a beautiful selection of food, even though some things may be out of stock, there’s always other available options. I will say that I dislike small animals being kept in cages and not given the space needed, however this store does an excellent job maintaining cleanliness and keeping healthy pets!”
“Hello everyone, I highly recommend that you come and visit Cooper’s supply. I walked into the store after receiving a new dog, which was a 5 yr old and 110 lbs.Cane Corso. I knew nothing about this breed are how to care for it or what to feed him l love the fact that they took the time with this old woman and explain The different foods that were good for this breed. You don’t find any place that take the Time out and explain things to you folks barely even talk to you. Communication is Big for me. It was well worth my trip to visit such an amazing place. I highly recommend this place.”
