    Our fish when he was in the store. He was kept in a clean, heated and filtered tank. He was actively swimming around and happy.

    We got a beautiful, healthy, and active koi plakat betta fish here. He is now in our 5.5 gallon tank at home thriving. The store has everything you need for keeping a fish and the owner is knowledgeable. I love how all of the bettas are kept humanely in sizeable, clean holding tanks -- not those horrible cups you see in Petco. I recommend buying your fish here and not at a chain store!

    It is a very nice store. The owner Armand is friendly and very helpful. I bought my fish tank system and 5 golden fish here. Everything works great. if I have some trouble: the water gets cloudy , the fish does not look happy etc. Armand always give a good advise and finds the cure for the problem. It is the best store to buy the birds, fish and other little creatures in Boston! Highly recommended! Olga

So, a review: Five stars for pets hotel/play dates! My dog loves them. Tail wiggles and lots of kisses on the way there, fond farewells on the way out. I snuck in once only to see him cuddling with the caregiver during afternoon nap time. I love the attention, care and professionalism of all staff. And the few times we had to leave him at the hotel, he seemed that he didn't want to come back with us A special shoutout to Hannah, his trainer. She is his favorite human ever, and loves seeing her. Yorkies are super smart dogs, sometimes challenging to train. We started with puppy classes when he was only 5 months old with Chris (who is not there any more) and continued with Hannah. What an amazing individual! She gained his trust right away and taught us (humans) how to better communicate and work with him. When we were away, we book some one-on-one training with her too; keeping the dog both entertained and engaged is important! Three stars for grooming. I don't have a favorite groomer, but a couple of times his nails are overtrimmed and he is really scared going in there grooming salon... Three stars for the store. Nothing special. Overall... we are enthusiastic fans of the petshotel. Thank you to all there for great experiences!!

    I was looking to set up my aquarium with live plants, small fish, shrimp, and snails, so this…read morereview will mainly focus on that. I'd been to another Petco and pet store, and I was happy to find this location had the largest variety of plants, decor, shrimp, and snails. When I went, they didn't seem to have many guppies (at least I wasn't shown them), and they didn't have any endler guppies at all (healthier less inbred than regular guppies). I ended up getting a few different plants and so far they seem to be doing fine. The staff member/aquarist Grace was very knowledgeable and friendly. She patiently answered all my questions, and I could tell she was passionate about taking care of the fish and plants. I separately had placed an order online for pick up, and she forgot to include an item, but I managed to get a refund on the product. Overall, I think this place has many strengths in having a variety of aquarium and plant supplies, plenty of live plants and snails, different colored shrimp, and seemingly every other fish except endlers. The staff I interacted with were friendly and very helpful. I thought the place was as clean as it could be although there's definitely a strong pet smell. If you order pick up, double check all your items are there.

    I was a long-time user of the Wilmington location. I have nothing but good things to say about the…read morestaff there, they treated our dog with great affection. The organization, however, is extremely unprofessional and I urge caution if you're thinking of sending your dog here. The Wilmington location closed today on 0 days notice due to lease issues, and as of yesterday the staff were assured the location was staying open, despite an unscheduled closure last week due to the same issues. To my understanding, they found out today that they were out of a job, with no advance notice. I strongly recommend avoiding any of the Boston Dog Company locations if this is how they run their business. It's not worth getting your dog used to coming to a daycare that could close at literally any time. In hindsight, I looked further into their 'awards' from US Pet Review, and found that USPR appears to be nothing more than a blog that exists only to give awards to Boston Dog Company. I see no evidence to suggest that it is a real industry magazine, or that it has any objectivity. Again, if you are looking for a dog daycare, I recommend looking elsewhere.

Very sketchy... Third, they claim to walk their dogs out 2 times in a 7 hour span which is not enough if they even do that (there is no outdoor section). My dog would come home and immediately run outside like he had not peed in days. They only have one person working there at ALL times meaning who is watching the other dogs when you are taking the dogs for a walk? I have gone to pick my dog up and they are completely alone with no worker in site. Yes, it is cheap but I would rather pay more for a place I know will actually take care of my dog. Stinks that's it's the only place around for doggy daycare because it is a horrible option.

We're more of a retail space for pets AND the people that love them! In addition to offering products not only for pets, but also for pet lovers (such as art, books, ceramics, and more), you'll notice that our focus is more on connection than conversion. Sure, we want you to buy things, but we aren't going to push that on you. Also, we want the store to be a place your pet loves, so we don't offer any scary grooming services. What we do offer is a place where your pet can feel like they genuinely are the goodest boi or grrl in the world, just like you always tell them! Plus, if you have a reactive or fearful pup (or an adventure cat), we are delighted to offer complimentary private shopping by appointment - before or after regular business hours. As a company, we strive to bring you and your pet unique items that you both will love - from brands both big and small, while also honoring our deep commitment to inclusive sourcing. This means that most of our products come from smaller, minority-owned brands. As a small woman-owned business, we are proud to help support other small women and minority-owned businesses.
