Love this place. Felt like it was mom and pop ran. Not like one of the big box store pet stores. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

I agree, Benson's is a great store. Extra friendly, good prices, locally owned. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

This place is amazing! It's a fish wonderland. They have a great selection of fish, live plants,…read moretanks, and all the supplies needed. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I was debating about a few different invertebrates to add to my tank, the guy that helped me out told me all about the ones I was considering and how the blue lobster probably wouldn't be a great choice. I ended up going with 3 shrimp, Bubba, Lt. Dan, and Jenny. I also like how they have their fish separated by aggression levels. I went to another local aquarium shop recently and they had cichlids, semi aggressive, and community fish all mixed together.

The customer service is non existent if the plant and fish shipment is being unloaded…read more If they aren't busy and you want something they make you walk over and pull a ticket and wait for your number to be called. I was there today and it wasn't busy, but the shipment was being unloaded. I pulled my ticket but no one was calling out numbers. I finally asked a woman for help but she said "I don't work here but I'll let them know". At that point I just left. I've been ignored there for 25 years going back to the old Latham location. One positive experience I had was a few years ago. They had species plant I wanted but there was only a couple left. The salesman informed me that they had some that were yet to be unpacked in the back room. Long story short he was reprimanded for selling plants that weren't yet in the display case (in front of me while I was checking out). That ruined the experience and made me feel I did something wrong. So I guess I never had a positive experience, I just witnessed someone going above and beyond being treated like trash. It's sad to say, but I'm actually happier walking in and not seeing anything I want to buy. The stressful part is seeing something I want and having to jump through hoops to get someone's attention and get service. To sum things up it's not really worth the stress for me and I will go elsewhere from

Stopped by today to donate supplies that will no longer be needed including:…read more Dog food Dog Treats New small toys Leashes Collars Bowls Washed cozy beds Washed pet motif blankets in many sizes Clean towels I was greeted warmly and thanked kindly. I am happy to help out. Today a group of new volunteers were in training to assist the modest staff who accomplish so much for animals in their care. Their website facilitates adoption and training services. Parking is plentiful, and service is friendly and efficient.

On August 12, 2026 my grand rabbit passed away. I called my daughter who's out of state at school…read moreto let her know because Miley (the rabbit) was hers. She sent me the money to get Miley cremated so she could come back home which is $60 for the cremation. My daughter sent $80 so she could get her nose print and fur clipping. I called her while there and told her that the clay paw print was a extra $30. She said okay and asked for that as well. My daughter sent me the $30 for Miley's clay paw print. I and my daughter paid a total of $110 for her rabbit to come home. We paid on card and left Miley with APF. We trusted APF to make sure our wishes were fulfilled and granted. I was called yesterday August 19, 2026 towards the end of day that Miley had been returned and was ready for pickup. I was unable to pick her up yesterday so I went and picked Miley up today. I arrived at APF around 12:10pm. I walked in and picked up her remains. I was looking thru the bag when I noticed that the paw print was not there. So I walked back in and addressed the issue. They made it feel like I was lying to them and went and checked the receipt and saw that I did pay for it but never got it. Then they said that they will talk with the people tomorrow when they come in and I told them no because it wasn't going to fix the issue it's not like they can do her paw print now as she is cremated. I told them I wanted a refund. They asked me my address and I told them that they could refund it how I paid for it. They said that they aren't able to do that which I found highly aggravating. So they are mailing me a paper check. If this happened to someone who had lost a child in birth and they never did their child's hand and foot print an the child was cremated the parents and family would be highly upset and emotional. This is the same thing. Some people view there animals as there kids and treat them as such. There are no words in which we can express our aggravation, hurt, and there is absolutely no way they can ever correct this for us either. I'm shaking writing this because this is something that we will never be able to look at again. When I look at my dog's paw prints, my cat paw print, I an my daughter will never be able to look at Miley's paw print.
