    Oh my goodness. We just got our first puppy ever, and are visiting Williamsburg. Came here thanks…read moreto a dog recommendation website (www.bringfido.com) and wow - this place is beyond "the best place to bring a dog!!" that I've ever seen, in my one week of dog ownership. Oh my goodness, the amount of treats and chew toys and atmosphere and let's face it, the love love love love the staff put on my puppy. Oh - and the visitors too!! I wish we lived here, we would visit weekly, very easily. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. It would be: 1 star for awesome staff + 1 star for awesome dog treats + 1 star for how much everyone loved my puppy + 1 star for the resident cat + 1 star for oh-my-gosh-they-have-doggy-raincoats + 1 star for doggie cookies + 1 star for how clean they are + 1 star for how smart the employees are + 1 star for how they taught me about raw feeding + 1 star for how they taught me that my veterinarian pet food (for my cats) is not ok. Wow - that's 10 stars, and it still doesn't feel like enough stars. Let's just say, I want to come to Williamsburg more just so I can visit this store as my sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel grows up. She LIT UP smelling all the wonderful treats in the store, then gobbled the ones I let her eat in the car for being such a good girl later that day. She is a sweetheart, and I know she wishes we lived above this shop. I love the "1 ingredient dog chews." Wow. Those are great. She is enjoying all of them!!!

    I stopped in primarily to view the cat room. I had heard about this store from the Virginia Cat…read moreFestival last fall, and was curious to check them out while in the area. Before entering the cat area, a friendly worker had us sign electronic waivers. There were plenty of places to sit and toys to play with the cats from Heritage. I will say it wasn't my favorite cat room, however, as it didn't feel ventilated at all and it smelled strongly. I think perhaps if they add some air flow or clean the litter boxes more often that could help. The cats themselves were cute and I was very tempted to adopt Loodles, specifically! Precious girl. Once I was finished in the cat area, I stepped back into the shop and browsed. I saw a cute treat dispenser, so I purchased that along with a catit fountain. I haven't tried the fountain yet, but I did notice that it was $8 cheaper than I paid at other retailers, so that was pretty disappointing. I'm just chalking it up to supporting a small business. Hopefully the cats like it, as they ignored the last fountain I purchased! My orange does love the treat dispenser and has largely figured it out, so that's been a success. They also had some cute toys, and I bought a little birthday cake toy that I gave to one of my cats on his birthday about a week back. He's still playing with it, so that's a good sign! Overall, I think this is a great space that could be excellent with a few tweaks. I appreciate what they do to help pets.

    the last few years this store has just gone under. there is usually only one employee working, a…read moreshort man with glasses. never had a problem with him until today when i came in. i asked for some help & there was no other customers in the store. he told me he would be there in just a second. after waiting a while i went to check on him. he was cleaning his work area. i reminded him again i needed assistance. he got irritated with me saying he has 10 other things to do and he'll get to me, while i was the ONLY customer in the store. finally he helped me after i asked to speak to a manager. he told me to go away several times & was just completely rude. i understand people have bad days but this was just uncalled for. not looking forward to having to return here. as they are the only store in town that carry what i need. 0/10 experience today. i need the nice blonde girl back who is always quick to help with a smile.

    I had a small 20 gallon fresh water community fish aquarium. For over 30 years I had been enjoying…read moremy fish. They would come and go, but for the time I had them I loved to just sit and watch them swimming around. I am retired so will stop and just enjoy watching them swimming atoind. This Christmas my Son,and Daughter-in-Law surprised me on Christmas Day with a 75 gallon aquarium new set up, including a cabinet stand. As a result of this gift I got to know the staff at Petco on Casy Blvd, quiet well. They have been a God sent to me in helping me with seting up information for my new community home for my fish. I purchased fish and accessories from them. Each and every time I came in the staff treated me as a friend and was glad to help me in every way. One young man working there went out of his way to assist me in every way. I am sorry, but I don't recall his name, but if he sees this, tanks to you I have a nice home for my fish and I am sure I will se you again.

    Pet Zone - Over 4 foot in length habitat for one hamster

    We happened upon this pet store while out and about, thinking we might find some natural perches…read morefor our parakeets. We ended up taking home two hamsters. We received a fairly good deal on the hamsters and accessories, which we appreciated. Here's the thing though...the young employees really need to educate themselves on some of these small pets. Two hamsters shouldn't reside in the same habitat, they do not require a "friend" and are solo creatures. They don't actually "like to climb", rather when the habitat is too small, they will climb to try and escape out of frustration, as well as chew on the bars (harmful). We are housing the two hamsters in separate DIY habitats that are over 4 feet in length. Hamsters are small but require a large square-inches habitat with lots and lots of enrichment. We also discovered once home that these were not same-sex, we were told that they are females but one is definitely a boy. I pin this error on the lack of supervision of the store's hamster habitat, one side with females and the other side with males. Kids are in there handling the hamsters and may be distracted by all the cuteness and put one back on the opposite side. Having the hamsters handled frequently is probably not the worst thing, as these are sweet and friendly little hamsters and they love being handled, but definitely they need more forethought in housing them in completely separate areas so there is no mix-up and no one takes home a pregnant female (female hamsters go into heat every 4 days). This all being said....the store has a lot of small exotic pets (birds, spiders, snakes, fish), it was about as clean as I would expect it to be with two young people working there on a Saturday afternoon. Thankfully the animals we saw looked healthy.

    My dog had been having issues with her ears and the night before she had scratch so bad that her…read moreears started bleeding. She needed a cone for her head and we were driving down to Petco, but decided to give the small pet business a phone call to see if they had the cone and if they were open. The lady on the phone was very nice including explaining dog neck size. I have a big dog and very often don't find stuff in her size. They closed in 10 min I was 15 min away. She very nicely said that they would be there after closing so I could run in. I went in with a picture on my cell phone so I could show her what size my dog was. But she had all the sizes waiting for me at the front and I could try to see what would fit her, without having to dig around. $24 for an XL cone. Great price and very nice person. I ended up leaving my phone there because of me pulling it out to show how big my dog was. We called it and they picked up, we told them we would be there tomorrow to pick it up but was told VERY nicely that if we ran they would stay these so I could get it. THANK YOU GUYS, I needed it for work this morning. And thank you to the young lady who get stuck waiting in for me. I know you wanted to go home 20 min earlier and again THANK YOU for sticking behind so I could get it. We never liked buying from PetCo anyways. Prices were always so high and they never really have what I need. I would advise you to give whatever small business you need something from a quick call to make sure they have it on hand. So you don't get mad if you get there and they don't have whatever it is. We had been driving to Oyster Point to go to Care-alot. But now we have a new pet store. They went out of their way to be nice to a random customer and like I said it was KONG name brand and only cost me $24 Thank you guys again

    So I used to come here quite often until I noticed a trend in who couldn't and could actually…read morehandle the small animals. So I scaled my patronage down a bit. Fast forward to today. My husband told me about some smaller bunnies he'd seen in there a few weeks ago. As I own a few New Zealand Bucks. Personally my trip in today was for a live feeder rat for my 6 year old ball python. Needless to say I saw two little bunnies behind a little girl who was sitting on a bench who actually wasnt even aware they were behind her because I asked were they hers and she said no. So then I asked the young lady at the counter could the bunnies be held or pet and she said yes. Soon as I go to pick up a bunny another lady who 1. Fails to even identify whom she is states Oh no you cant hold it, but you can pet it. So let me get this straight as a potential customer I cant hold an animal I'm potentially interested in?? So how many people go to buy a car and just purchase it right off the lot, no test drive? I'll wait... My point is every time I come into Pet Paradise I'm being told oh you can pet the bunnies or the ferrets but you cant hold them. Mind you I've seen "others," allowed to do just that. I've owned every animal mentioned previously in my 40+ years but it appears only certain people have the privilege here to actually interact with potential furbabies. Whelp they say word of mouth is the best form of marketing so figured I'd put the word out because it's a reoccurring theme I'm quite tired of and figured I'd let folks know about the fickle behavior of oh peep this the supposed manager who "Can Do what she wants," as I was told by the young lady behind the counter. Now last I checked a manager wasnt the owner but hey what do I know? I just need to find a better pet store with similar or BETTER options closer to me in Suffolk. Nobody buys cars without test driving, nobody adopts a dog without interacting, so why am I limited to petting a rabbit only and not holding it, but told oh you can hold it if your intentions is to buy one by the young lady behind the counter.. whew I could say so much but trust me I dont think I have to.

    Customer service was terrible! We drove a hour just to get a feeder for our King corn, and they…read moreacted like we were aliens in the store! We couldn't touch anything. When we made it to the bird section, I was literally reaching for the sanitizer and the man demanded we put some on, and got mad at me for replying "I'm perfectly capable of reading " I'm new to the area ,and don't know if we will be returning to spend money in an establishment that acts as if they don't want you there. Super cute animals though!
