(Review based on the bird department)…read more This place was absolutely FANTASTIC! I'm not a bird owner, just a person who likes to hang out with feathered friends every once in a while. The staff for the bird section was absolutely wonderful and answered all the questions we had. It's very important to consider that THESE ARE LIVING BEINGS. Treat them with respect, handle with care, etc. If you choose to handle the birds, there IS a possibility of you getting bit, clawed, pooped on, etc. and it's NOT anywhere close to zero. I advise being especially careful with the macaws, who bite HARD. They have very strong beaks, muscles, and claws that can easily punch holes in skin and scratch. Even the smaller birds are quite nippy, but aren't as likely to break skin (though they certainly do sometimes). Most of the nipping and biting can be attributed to affection, but is just as likely to cause infection (a fun play on words, but still true!). If you don't know how to handle birds, do not go in expecting to come out a professional, or go in with the expectation of all of the birds immediately loving you. These birds see upwards of hundreds of people a day and likely have no idea what to expect from you. I recommend talking with the employees, who I can't guarantee are all as nice as the people we talked to, but likely know the birds at least a little bit, and can help children and people wanting to interact in a safer way than just involving without caution.

I should have listened to the reviews and looked for another store…read more I have been looking for a parrot to bring into the family for a while. I've done plenty of research online, but this was my first time going to look at birds in person. Seeing this was a family run business, I decided to bring my business here rather than a big box store. Big mistake. Almost everyone working seemed to be stuck up teenagers and young adults. My family was in the store for about 30 min and not a single employee offered any assistance. Not even a simple hello. The bird section was absolute chaos. There's TONS of birds jammed into a small corner of the store which seems to be, by far, their most popular animal. The aisles are cramped and it's hard to hear anything with all the birds chirping away. There were 2 employees feeding/ tending to birds. They were pretty much ignoring everyone. I tried to ask a few questions about different species, yet I felt like an annoyance to them.. then I simply got told, if you're new to birds, just get a cockatiel. The guy wouldn't really give any information on any of the other species. I'm trying to make sure I have everything I need in my home before buying a bird, but it seems like they'd rather you just pay $$ now and quit bothering them. There's a bunch of signs up saying NO PICTURES everywhere. It felt like a prison with the wide variety of threatening signs all over the place. I did notice the cages seemed very over priced. An A&E cage I saw on Chewy for $300 was marked up to like $700 in there. The cockatiels were a couple hundred dollars more than Pet Smart. I wanted to avoid going to somewhere like Pet Smart or Petco to get a pet bird, but after this experience, I'll just take my business there. At least they have employees that seem like they care about helping customers. It's a shame to see a local business that can't provide better service than corporate big box stores. If it wasn't for your exorbitant prices, I suspect you'd be out of business by now.

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.

Be wary they hire people that are pitbull apologists, the store is way too tight and…read moreconfrontational too they need a better floor plan, prices are a bit high as well but they have a large selection of good products here too. Be wary of one lady in there too that they hired, idk what her name is but she certainly has a discriminatory view on properly bred dogs which irritated me, basically blaming proper breeders for the issues in shelters instead of backyard breeders and ignoring the fact that pitbulls cause over 60% of fatalities every single year calling "German shepherds more dangerous than pitbulls" just because of the bite psi.. they are third on the listen karen, get it right, if ur gonna argue about something like that and be in the shelter business maybe you should properly research facts like that instead of spreading misinformation through your "agree to disagree" idiocy. It's sucks cuz I like this place to peak in like twice a year and see if they have anything new and cool for my dog to try out but instead I'm met with pitbull apologists not once but twice now. Owner needs to do a better job in who they hire. Will be buying stuff when possible online and through other small businesses now instead of this place.

Do not be surprised if you are completely ignored when you have questions about a certain product. I brought my pet in once from walking them looking to buy my little buddy a few treats and maybe an outfit. She looked at my dog and started insulting his eyes and nails. She insisted on clipping his claws, which I fully objected. I wish the owner had a better attitude and was nicer to those who are not dressed to the 9's. My money is just as good as anyone else's. Lady, just because I am wearing jeans and a t shirt does not mean I don't have a well paying job. Learn some customer service skills.

They have some really nice pet supplies inside such as collars, leashes, attire, treats, food, toys and much more. The staff (I think the time I was there it was actually the owners) were very nice and allowed us to browse around at length without really bothering us. The stuff in here isn't really cheap, but you can tell some of it is one-of-a-kind, great quality stuff. This is a great place to stop in and shop if you are visiting Smithfield.
