    3.5 stars. For several years, I have occasionally shopped at this Petland store…read more For all of my visits, an employee has courteously greeted me. Years ago, when I had different cats with different dietary needs and preferences, this Petland had their preferred types of wet foods in stock. However, during my most recent visit, I did not see my current cat's preferred types of foods on the shelves. I did see a decent selection of beds, collars, leashes, jackets, toys, dog foods, aquarium supplies, some cat trees, hygiene products, bowls, and some cat litters. The prices, though, were higher than what online retailers charge. This store had a few dogs and cats up for adoption through their Animal Shelter Adoption Program (ASAP). It also had some birds, fish, a guinea pig, etcetera. Furthermore, their website says that they offer dog grooming.

    2/5 -- Great Selection, Poor Care and Customer Experience…read more First off, this pet store does have the most extensive selection of pet products and animals in the East Liberty/Highland Park/Shadyside/Bloomfield area. You'll find more items here than even the PetSmart on Centre Ave. In terms of stock and variety, I'd rate them 5/5 -- impressive range, shelves are full, and there's something for every type of pet owner. That said, the animal care is concerning. I went specifically for fish, and while the selection looked solid at first glance, the conditions told another story. The tanks and enclosures are far too small, and the animals don't appear to be cared for as they should be. Sadly, it reminded me of a chain store setup -- another pet shop driven by sales, not welfare. 1/5 Pricing is on the higher end. Most items are about the same or slightly more than PetSmart. (I found several identical products cheaper on Chewy with free 1-3 day shipping). The rewards program at this location is a small plus -- you can save around 10-15%, which helps a little -- but overall, the costs don't justify shopping in person. 1/5 The staff interaction was what really cemented my experience. I was helped by the owner, Eric Caplan. While knowledgeable, he came across as condescending and unprofessional. During checkout, I witnessed him respond to another customer -- who appeared to have a developmental disability and was accompanied by caregivers -- with the words, "Get out of here, b***." It was shocking, deeply inappropriate, and visibly confusing to the individual he spoke to. Even if it was meant jokingly, it was shocking. He also made unsolicited remarks about my own aquarium setup, calling it a "waste of electricity," and followed up with more unasked-for advice. Not his money, not his tank, not his business. 1/5 Overall: Huge selection High prices Neglected animals Poor professionalism Final Rating: 2/5 If you're looking for a better alternative, I highly recommend Salty Paws Pittsburgh at 4126 Butler St, Pittsburgh, PA 15201. I'm not affiliated with them, but I've done business there -- they're compassionate, clean, and professional. 5/5.

    This Petco is a chain retail store in the Waterfront shopping center. It sells products for dogs,…read morecats, fishes, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small household pets. Products include foods, collars and leashes, beds, carriers, toys, aquarium tanks, litter boxes, grooming supplies, and much more. I recently shopped at this store to purchase wet foods for my cat. I felt happy that her preferred flavors were in stock and that the prices were typical. However, her dry food cost more here than from Chewy and Amazon. Furthermore, I did not see my cat's preferred toys and furniture, and I thought that the prices for litter were a bit high. I walked around the other sections of the store. My husband commented that a bird cage had many birds in it, but the birds looked healthy otherwise. The cashier immediately and accurately rang up my purchase and thanked me. At home, my cat enjoys eating her wet foods. This store also offers grooming, training, veterinary services, and an adoption center, but I did not use them.

    I was very dissatisfied with my experience here. The workers denied grooming my dog even after I…read moreexplained that AVETS confirmed he was 100% recovered from his injury and completely cleared for grooming. They then proceeded to speak negatively about AVETS and question their professionalism, which I found very unprofessional and unnecessary. What gives them the right to refuse service based on their own opinion when a licensed veterinary hospital already cleared him? Because of this, my dog was unable to be groomed and it ruined our Christmas photo plans. Very disappointed and won't be returning.

    My review is only based on my training experience as I have not used any other services here…read more We have brought our pup to two different one-on-one training sessions here and it has been absolutely worth every penny. Brett Reynolds is the trainer and I would recommend him to anyone that wants to modify their dog's behavior! We adopted a Min-Pin Terrier mix puppy at about 7 months old. He was social at the dog park and was very friendly with people whether at our house or elsewhere. Around 10 months, we began seeing some different behaviors in our little pup, especially when on leash around other dogs or when there was a fence between him and other dogs or people. It got to the point where we were no longer comfortable taking him out as regularly and stopped going to the dog park. We have since learned that our little baby suffers from something called "barrier aggression." I explained the situation to Brett through a phone conversation and a few follow-up emails. When we arrived for our session, we talked through specifically what we wanted to work on and then got started. I learned so much in an hour! It was not only helpful in modifying my dog's behavior, but also in giving us the confidence in training him properly. We purchased a Gentle-Leader collar which has worked great for us. We also learned certain commands to direct and distract him around other dogs, which avoids him escalating into a blind rage where it is very difficult to calm him down. At the end of the session, Brett brought another dog into the room and we were able to try out the new commands while we still had him there to give us feedback. We have continued everything we've learned in the two sessions during our time at home and have noticed a significant change in our dog's behavior. He's not perfect by any means, but seeing the progress he's made is motivation for us to remain consistent and follow-through with everything we learned from Brett. I look forward to more training sessions and possibly trying an agility class in the future!

    Save yourself time and money by coming to get your checkups and vaccines here for your furry (or…read morehairless) friend. I was going to another vet in the city and getting charged $95 just for being seen for 10 minutes. The tech fee is half of that here. There's a large parking lot. And they're quick. My dog has come here for her regular vaccines, the vaccine clinics, her annuals, and when she's not feeling well. I've had a few administrative issues with email/contact information so that could use a little work. Otherwise, I love coming here. I can't say the same for my dog, because every time she comes she has to step on a scary scale and/or get poked. But this is to be expected!

    Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh (HARP) is a nonprofit that operates veterinary medical centers…read more(mostly for preventative care and NOT for emergencies), a shelter, and a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. This location in the East Side of Pittsburgh has a veterinary center and a shelter and also offers obedience training classes. In the past several years, I have visited this HARP many times. In 2015, I adopted two cats from the shelter (for details, please see my previous review below). These two cats still happily live with my family and me. Most recently, I donated several bags of pet supplies to this shelter. HARP collects new and gently used pet supplies for Ellie's Attic, which then gives the supplies to families who have pets and are financially struggling. I dropped off dog beds, cat beds, dog bowls, disposable diapers, a sweater, a training bell, etcetera. I placed the bags near the entrance inside the building. An employee at the front desk kindly thanked me for my donation and asked if I needed a donation receipt. Next, I asked the employee if I could visit the dogs who are available for adoption. Unfortunately, the dogs could not be visited on that day, but I was allowed to view a binder that contained printed descriptions of the dogs. I did visit the cats, and I felt pleased with the size and cleanliness of their cages.
