We went to their store to buy some fish for a band-new freshwater aquarium we had set up with tap water just the day before. But they cautioned us against buying any fish on this visit, because the fish might well die in the water that had not had enough time to clear chemicals that are okay for humans, but NOT okay for fish. That's the LAST thing we would want to happen for my toddler grandchildren to experience. So we went home with a hardy snail and some hardy plants... ...AND WE'LL RETURN IN A FEW DAYS TO BUY OUR FISH!! You're in good hands with these aquatic experts!

It's not a giant store but so far they've had what we needed all but one time, but were able to make do with something else there. Most recently I had to get the Cone of Shame for our boy and I opted for a soft cone, rather than the hard plastic e-collar. I debated on sizes and when I got to the register, the gal asked me about my dog and let me know that if it didn't fit to bring it back to exchange it. She was really nice and has been each time we have been in there. I would be docking them a star due to the prices but I won't; they're definitely higher than some of the big stores but I still choose to go to Pet Zoo because of location, locally owned and customer service!

They have a great selection of food for both cats and dogs, along with tons of treats and toys to choose from. This is where I usually shop for canned dog food. They carry the Nulo wet food pouches that my Shiba Inu absolutely loves. He is such a picky eater these days! They also have a good variety of Honest Kitchen products, which I really appreciate. They also have big selection of Stella & Chewy's freeze dried raw dog food toppers. My dogs especially like the raw freeze dried chicken. The place was super clean and organized when I stopped in a couple weeks ago. I don't think I've ever walked out empty handed. The staff is consistently friendly and approachable. They are happy to answer questions and really seem to enjoy helping customers find the right products. Für meine deutschsprachigen Freunde: Petzoo ist mein Lieblings Tierladen in Anchorage. Er liegt in der Nähe vom Dimond Blvd und Old Seward Hyw, und es gibt immer genug Parkplätze. Perfekt, wenn man nur schnell etwas holen will. Sie haben eine richtig gute Auswahl an Futter für Katzen und Hunde, dazu jede Menge Treats und Spielzeug. Hier kaufe ich meistens das nasse futter für meinen Hund. Sie haben die Nulo Pouches, die mein Shiba Inu total liebt. Er ist sehr wählerisch mit seinem futter! Sie haben auch eine gute Auswahl von Honest Kitchen, was ich echt schätze. Ausserdem gibt es eine grosse Auswahl an Stella & Chewy's gefriergetrockneten Toppings. Besonders das gefriergetrocknete Hähnchen mögen meine Hunde richtig gern. Der Laden war sauber und übersichtlich beim letzten mal wo ich forbei ging. Ich kann mich nicht an das letzte mal erinnern wo ich ohne was zu kaufen aus dem laden ging. Das Personal ist durchweg freundlich und offen. Sie beantworten gern Fragen und man merkt, dass sie wirklich Spass daran haben, den Kunden zu helfen und die richtigen Produkte zu finden.

All of the wonderful treats and food Daisy makes for the pups are full of top of the line ingredients and are obviously made with love. She knows her pup customers by name and spoils them with tastes of all of her different offerings. She is incredibly knowledgeable about canine health and gladly shares all of her knowledge with you. I could go on and on but the bottom line is that if you aren't visiting her then you and your pup are missing out big time.

I am happy to say that no matter if I am raising farm animals, splurging on decadent treats for my dogs or adding new plants to my garden, Alaska Mill and Feed continues to be my go to place.

The offer a mixture of classes throughout the spring and into the fall that are very helpful for learning how to succeed in Alaska's challenging growing climate. I enjoy the mixture of perennials, annuals, herbs, shrubs, roses, etc that they offer in the late spring/early summer. It is really cool that they offer so many plants that will succeed here in Alaska. I most like how you really get your moneys work at AK Mill & Feed because of their rewards system, I spend a ridiculous amount of money there in the summer and am always happy to hear that I have money on my account to add towards my total, it's things like this that make this Alaskan business worthy of 5 stars.

So I live walking distance from this Petco and occasionally make my way over here to drift through…read moretheir items. I don't go here often or regularly because they are very expensive. Compared to Amazon (with free Prime shipping to Alaska), this Petco's pet supplies are about twice as expensive (eek!). But, sometimes you just need to have a 'shopping day out with the animals' and this is where I choose to go. They also have a wide array of pet food, in case my Amazon order isn't delivered by the time I run out. They're also one of the few places in Anchorage to carry fresh and frozen foods as well as live insects (for reptile food). There is one specific girl in this Petco that has 100% earned my respect as an employee. I would have originally rated this Petco 3 stars, but because of this girl's loyalty to animal care- I upped it a star. I don't know what her name is, but I originally met her in July and she was working in the reptile section. By late August she'd been promoted to manager of the animal care department (or something similar). She's fairly young, but truly LOVES the animals there and ensures their habitats are clean, the animals are well-taken care of, and also ensures the animals are handled with care so they don't become skittish or fearful of human hands. A few other employees in the store seem equally as enthusiastic about animal care, but a couple just seem to mope around and not do much (which is always off-putting to me when I walk into a department store). This Petco does carry live animals including a very good selection of reptiles, rodents, and birds. They also carry fish- but their aquariums, in particular, are not in the best shape. There are often dead fish in the water with the live fish. The lighting is broken on a few of the aquariums. Some are over-crowded and others are not cleaned. The aquatics section isn't up to par, and that did downgrade this store a star. Also- their hermit crabs have painted shells which have been scientifically proven to be harmful to the mental and physical health of hermit crabs (shame on Petco for continuing to sell hermit crabs in this condition!). With that being said, the other reptiles, rodents, and birds are kept in fantastic condition. Their cages are clean and well-maintained and all of the animals are typically very active and healthy in appearance. The store is well-organized and kept fairly clean. Everything is divided by species which makes it relatively easy to find what you need. They have the best selection of organic grain-free cat and dog foods that I've found in Anchorage. The dog-training specialists are very professional and well-informed. I brought my boyfriend's rescue pit bull in here about a month ago when I was pet-sitting her. She's a very hyper dog who pulls on the leash when being walked and also 'begs' for attention from other dogs and kids by barking ferociously at them (she's not aggressive, she just wants them to come play- but people don't realize that). Anyways, when the employees here saw me wrestling this hyper pit bull they came over and offered a lot of advice. They showed me a training leash and techniques that I could use to keep her from pulling and also did a mini 'free session' to show me how to deter her 'come play with me barks'. They took the time out of their day to do this entirely for free. I was extremely impressed. Anyways, this Petco has its good and bad parts. They truly do have employees that care, but the aquatic sections needs some extra special attention to get up to standards. The hermit crabs shouldn't be in painted shells, but the rest of the animals are well taken care of. They have a great selection, but are a bit over-priced. Overall, though, it's worth stopping in just to talk with the very knowledgeable and professional employees- and find a few fun pet items to spoil your furry, feathery, or scaly friend with.

There are a few (many) who don't really want to talk to you or ask if you need help. Which is fine for me, but there was one time where I felt like I was chasing one of them because I couldn't find anyone else. It's also a great place to socialize your pup and a safe open way to also do it.
