Nicole Marie S.

Dear Lisa, Hello! This email serves to present my recommendation for your employee J.R. to be the new store manager of Southport. I am a longtime customer of your grand operations, first beginning with the LaSalle location, now shopping between Desplaines and Wells. THE REASON for my allegiance to Bentley's is J.R. I know not his last name, but I know a beautiful human and employee when I see one. And J.R. is la crème de la crème! He represents Bentley's as though he is the owner. I watch the manner in which he interacts with customers, with dogs, and with fellow employees. He is phenomenal. It all began almost four years ago when my dear dog Gwendolyn needed four 32-ounce goat milks weekly to comply with her holistic health plan to manage cancer. J.R. worked above and beyond to ensure fulfillment of my orders. And my little Gwendolyn loved to scream at him for treats, interrupting other customers to do so; and J.R. handled this very demanding little dog with sophistication and love, all whilst properly tending to the customers who were first in queue! I had not seen J.R. in quite some time (so happy that Chetara came into our lives during J.R.'s work at your other stores). And then one day recently, it was like magic! He had returned and remembered everything about my Gwendolyn. Sadly she had gone to heaven in April, and he replied, "I am so sorry. She was the bossiest dog in River North." Oh! How he made me so happy to reminisce of my girl. And of course, I am now the mother to Gwendolyn's clone. Her name is Claudette, and when J.R. met her last week, he exclaimed, "Woa! Did you hire Dr. Frankenstein to make this happen?" It was hysterical. Attached is a picture from last night, of J.R. treating my Claudette. I understand that he applied for the managerial position at Southport, and the decision has yet to be made. In my opinion, there is no decision but yes. He is the best fit for the job. I shall leave a Yelp and Google review with this information as well. Thank you so much for sharing J.R. with your customers. Rest assured, my Claudette and I shall adventure to Southport if J.R. receives this well earned promotion. Oh so gratefully, Nicole Marie Story

What a great variety of all things for your pet. A ton of well priced clothing, toys etc etc. It's worth a stop!

I shop here all the time. Prices are comparable to the major chains but customer service is far better.

Dog food is infested with little black bugs/beetles. Not contained to one brand. In every single…read morebag we purchased recently. Even saw the same bugs dead and alive in the store on the floor. Employee said it's a vendor issue. Absolutely heart breaking to think my dog has been eating this food. Now my dog is sick. There is now an invitation in our home. Bugs are everywhere.

I finally decided to give Petco another chance for a grooming appointment for my 7lb dog after…read morebeing cancelled on four separate time. yes, four times! and always on the day of the appointment. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a terrible decision. When I picked up my dog after his grooming appointment, I noticed nothing unusual at first. However, later that day, I saw him licking his paw non stop. Upon closer inspection, I was horrified to find an injury with visible redness between his tiny toes. Petco never mentioned anything about hurting my dog, which made their lack of transparency even more appalling. I called them the next day (as it was late when I discovered the injury) and was told the manager wasn't available. The employee I spoke with said they'd need to contact upper management to determine what to do. A day went by before I got a call back, only to be told the same thing. I informed them I was traveling to Vegas, and they promised to let me know which vet I could take my dog to. The condition was that if the vet determined the injury was Petco's fault, they would cover the costs. If not, they wouldn't do anything--not even offer a refund for the grooming service. To make matters worse, they never called me back as promised. I disputed the charge with my bank, and now Petco is fighting the dispute, knowing full well they hurt my dog. This is not just poor service--it's outright negligence. I will find the appropriate channels to hold Petco accountable because this treatment is unacceptable. Our pets deserve better care, honesty, and respect.

This is a review solely about Rachael as a groomer, and not about Krisers' as a whole. Everyone…read morethere has been so great. I took my dog in for a groom yesterday and it's completely botched. Her ears are uneven and mismatched. There are blunt cuts made everywhere. Her booty trim wasn't completed. The former groomers (Jocelyn and another gentleman, I forget his name) were much more talented and I believe are at other Kriser locations now. I will be taking the time to visit those stores instead for grooming services rather than going back to Rachael.

(1 Star) Absolutely…read moreunacceptable. I brought my dog, Max, to Kriser's for what should have been a routine grooming appointment, and he came home with cuts on both of his front paws. By the next day, he was limping and in obvious pain. His injuries were serious enough that I had to take him to the veterinarian and pay for an unexpected vet visit because of the groomer's negligence. What makes this even worse is that no one told me he had been injured. They simply sent him home and left me to discover the injuries myself. A business that cares about animals should be honest when something goes wrong and take responsibility--not hope the owner doesn't notice. My dog suffered unnecessarily, and I was left with the emotional stress and financial burden of treating injuries that never should have happened. I would never trust this location with my pet again.

I am obsessed with Liz. She saved my golden retriever. And also knows everything about anything…read moredog-related. She's basically a free-advice functional medicine vet. I literally went to Dr. Royal who is amazing by the way who is a functional medicine vet and she told me a majority of what Liz also told me which is diet diet diet. My dog Griffey was getting hot spots as a puppy and losing his hair, the conventional western medicine vet just put him on an antibiotic and said that it's normal. After changing his diet to full raw (listening to Liz and Dr. Royal) - his fur is like silk and is the happiest and healthiest golden. I admit that it's expensive but so is eating organic and purchasing local products from farmer markets. In the long run, I think we will save more money on keeping him healthy than paying towards vet visits. It is also a HUGE perk that is right down the block from my favorite gym The Garage Chicago.

I have one of those picky pampered kitties who will only eat certain proteins (chicken or turkey…read moreminced pate) and when he gets bored of the brand or flavor I need to rotate wet food without sacrifice to high quality protein organic pet food. I also have found one brand of dry kibble my kitty loves N&D from Italy, but it's not the easiest to find lately. I know it sounds crazy but can you imagine eating the same food everyday? I cannot and so I will cater to give my kitty variety. It's better for their digestive system and apparently this behavior is very common with his breed so it is almost inevitable we can't order cans by the case without waste... but we donate to shelters if we do:) Well sadly the neighborhood pet food stores in the area all closed due to economic turn down, so it has been one ginormous hassle to get open stock cans and my preference is to support local businesses. I googled and called a few stores to see what brands they carried, and when David answered the phone (who btw is related to Liz - a true family biz) I just knew this was going to be the start of a good pet-partnership! They carry the brands of food I was familiar with and David explained they have a pet rewards program too! They are located in Ukranian Village which isn't very nearby but David offered complimentary delivery right to my building, text me when he arrived and even tossed in a few extra samples treats for us to try. Top notch friendly five star customer service!
