“30 min ago I stopped by Tractor Supply and witnessed a troubling moment — an experienced worker was harshly criticizing a newer team member. It deeply affected me.
As a business owner, I believe those who insult or belittle others should be retrained, not tolerated. Respect and support matter in every workplace. Moments like this remind me how much I care for my own employees and how important it is to create a kind, uplifting environment for everyone.”
“I’ve been going to Pup Country/Happy Trims for a little over a year and never leave unsatisfied. They treat my baby so well! He gets anxious with grooming appointments but they’re so patient here. They call me with updates and my shih tzu always leaves smelling good and a perfect clean cut. They’re very flexible here as well, I accidentally brought my dog in for his appointment a week early, they said it’s okay and still took him in!! ? My dog also does better with male groomers, one day they called and said he was having a hard time so they switched him to the male groomer and he did much better. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these kind groomers!!!!!! Thanks Happy Trims!!”
“Came hear to look for my puppy some new food and treats and the lady at the register was very helpful and gave us great info on our questions. Will definitely be back!”
“Love it always love seeing the birds and different things they have. Love the fish Love everything about this place definitely worth the drive even just to look around....”
“We had bought stuff for fleas over a year ago and about due for more but let me tell you the stuff here it works!! We were recommended by a friend. We bough all the dogs their own bottle and plus the spray for the yard no issues all year long. Definitely recommend to anyone!”
“I lost my first dog in June, quite unexpectedly, and he was more than a pet, as he taught me for the first time ever what it meant to be unconditionally loved, how to care for someone else, etc etc, thanks to a lifetime of trauma and abused I somehow survived on my own. The world didn’t know/care that I was technically old enough to know things but had missed out on a lot, and so Toby was the catalyst for learning, healing, and growth, and also became a service dog for me when I had a bad wreck and wound up on fixed income.
Money tight and heart bound, I was never “ready” in many ways to lose my boy, but death comes because as I know well, life has zero “PAUSE” button, and the people who came to liberate my boy from suffering wanted nearly everything I’d saved and that didn’t even include them taking his body. I had heard of Bluebonnet just weeks before, and when I made the call to them to see about prices the woman on the phone was so kind, gentle, and also got business done.
My boy’s last morning came. He couldn’t be dropped off for some hours due to pre-existing things *I* had to deal with, and given my PTSD, I did what I had to do after being present for Toby’s goodbye, packed him and my other two in the car, and had a friend wait outside with them while I took Toby in. I’m already an emotions on her sleeve kind of person, and so this being my first loss as well as the loss of someone so very close to my heart, I’m sure I was half shut down half beside myself in tears, and by this point in my day, it was mostly due to stress OF the day because I still hadn’t registered that this was it, the last time I’d see my boy in his bodily form, and I hadn’t even had a private, no-dogs-no-humans around moment to myself to say goodbye, and here I was bringing him to be cremated because I couldn’t leave his body to sit all weekend to have more time.
I don’t remember which lady I did the business of payment with, but the guy who came to get his body from my car? THANK YOU SO MUCH for your gentleness, kindness! I had to have a neighbor guy help lift him into my car and he was so surprisingly unceremonious about it, the way Bluebonnet’s guy helped just so deeply touched me.
Though I had to pretty much drive like a bat out of hell to get there in time before closing, the lady who helped me do paperwork ALSO was so so wonderful; she gave me some time alone with Toby, finally, to say my personal, final goodbye to my boy, and words cannot express how greatful I am to her. She also let me break up payment half and half which was an unexpected blessing.
I feel like Toby came back to me faster than originally quoted which was a nice surprise in a thing as sucky as death and grief, and the box/papers they gave me were nice, sturdy, sure to last a long time if need be, but they also have other urns and engraving and etc so I may place his ashes in something else in the future. Again upon pickup I sort of lost it, seeing my boy’s new form, and again, they let me sit as long as I needed even tho the lady working that day was some other woman, equally as kind. I did speak with some of the other customers coming and going, even a lady with two little kids coming for pickup, and everything was so professional and yet compassionate. The one lady I spoke to said she had a few pets cremated here, and the woman working that day mentioned there was a pastor guy who rescued countless animals, all cremated there across decades.
I am very greatful for this business because while I’ve learned I hate the business of death, I have two more dogs still alive for now but aging, and I pray I’ll be able to afford/use Bluebonnet again for when it’s their time to cross over.
THANK YOU is not enough to all you wonderful people @Bluebonnet, so instead just know I ask the god whom creates such unconditional love in our dogs and y’all’s hearts to bless you richly. ?? In Jesus’ name, amen.”
“These ladies are the kindest people and genuinely love all the fur babies they care for! Out Jack and Jazzy were very well cared for while we were gone for the weekend. It gave us great peace of mind to leave them at Renate's!”
“bought two parakeets from her today and she was the best. there was many birds to choose from and i got two beautiful yellow and green birds which you can tell are very healthy and well taken care of. she was very sweet, met me very fast, and even filed their nails for me. very much recommend buying from her and the price was great.”
“Excellent, friendly service. Products are fresh, delivered on time and always stacked neatly for me. I love supporting a family owned, local business that takes pride in what they do. Very refreshing!”

“Great place! They have EVERYTHING under one roof. And if you don't find what you're looking for, ask it's probably out back I gotta make this place a regular stop.”
“We went in to get some feed for a hog we are getting. The guy in there was so nice and very helpful. He let is pick his brain on feed, pen, water, heat, and a handful of other questions we had. Although the line at the counter was getting long, he never left our questions unanswered. While paying, we asked about gates for the pig. He walked us out back and showed us what he had. To all the guys that helped load our 1500 lbs of feed into our daughters car, you were very friendly. I left here thinking how fun this place would be to work there based on the friendliness of all.
We will be back”
“The staff was friendly and informative about my questions . I just wish they had more selection of fish. Overall it's a good place to get your pets food and supplies.”
“They unload quickly, if you are going to arrive after the appointment, call the number that appears on Google so that they do not charge you 200 dollars for the ticket.”

“Customer service is always nice!! I always ♥️ find good prices on products that my little doggy needs. The team on the grooming area is A+... very kind with the doggies. I recommend this place for sure.
Thank you!”
“It’s like Tractor supply and Boot Barn had a baby named Murdoch but Cabelas step up and raise the baby leaving Boot Barn as the baby daddy fighting for custody.”
“I wanted to thank the Store Manager Hector, Asst. Manager Mark and associate Catlyn for trying to help us through a difficult situation. If you purchase a service online from another city and you need to refund the service like (Dog Training) PetSmart will try and make you go into the store for the refund even if it was an online purchase or your 5 miles away one way. We were instructed to go into out Local store where the Manager and assistant Manager were rude, difficult and refused to assist. We've been passed around from online departments to service ro corporate and the problem has not been resolved. I don't fault the store and the associates listed about have been great. I would not recommend purchasing an online service in another city as a gift to avoid this headache and ridiculous protocol.”
“I love my Beta _so much attitude, not aggressive at all_ he was actually happy to be put into 5 gallon with other fresh water friends shrimp, snails, and a guppy.”
“Friendly staff, my products are available, discounts and rewards for shopping, safes us money, like the idea to donate when paying or dropping a product off for the shelter.”
