    Cindy loves Paws N Play
    Dale Z.

    This place, in Old Town Arvada, has a little bit of everything a pet owner could want. The staff and owner are genuinely glad to see you and your fur buddies. I always leave here with a bag of goodies. This usually includes samples of several dog foods that my dogs always enjoy trying out. Mine have always been big on variety and get very excited to see a taste of goat, kangaroo, or pumpkin hit the bowl. If you are out walking in Old Town, or heading down for a meal or the Farmer's Market, this a great place to add to your journey. Once the light rail station opens in near future, just across the street, I expect a significant uptick in foot traffic will occur. Yep, the nice folks here can maybe seem a touch judgy if you tell them you are currently feeding your pet a cheap and not especially healthy food (I dare you to say, "I only feed Old Roy from Wal-Mart"). But, this is not so much about questioning your life choices, as opening you up to the much better options out there. They are extremely knowledgeable when it come to pet nutrition, and you should be prepared to drink from the information fire-hose when it comes to learning about good old dog food.

    One of my favorite stops in Old Town Arvada. I can usually find some special treats for my fur babies whenever I am in town.

    Pet Supplies might appear to be a small store, BUT it is packed with amazing isles of Pet Goodies…read moreand SELF DOGGY WASH STATION, with Ample room. Pretty Eyes, (my service dog) and I have been to several Pet Supply stores and my preference thus far is Wheat Ridge, off of Wadsworth. Immediately we are greeted with smiles and how can we help. BATH PLEASE for my dog, to be clear. They hand us a bucket, ask if we prefer 3 towels, OH YES! Fortunately we have our own brushes, for all too many other patrons have taken off with what was offered for years. No Problem and off we go. Pretty Eyes is READY to get CLEANED with special shampoos and conditioners. The on duty gentleman scurried towards the back to clean the plethora of previous customers, while stating, they have been inundated with Doggy Washes this day. NO Problem for a few moment wait. I unleash my Service dog and open the gate, she is off to her favorite side, jumps in and waits. I must mention, the water hose is "Very Durable" a bit stiff in operating, although they are generous in offering aprons, expect to get a bit wet and be prepare in managing the volume first before starting the wash including your choices of shampoo/conditioners. Yet, the choices are wonderful, from Oatmeal shampoo to shampoo/conditioner in same bottle and more! Ready to towel off! They do have a LONG hose for drying, it is a pitched sound, your dog may or may not care for, HAVE YOUR TOWELS READY! This is a fun time, and NO RUSH. Their set up "A Bucket" for all the fur no longer needed, a place to toss your wet towels and leave your bucket or return the bucket to the front desk. GREAT SERVICE. There is also an extra pricing if you choose; either $14.00 per visit or if one pays up front $40.00/each bath will cost $8.00 Have fun!

    I went to this PSP recently to look for raw for my dogs. I…read moretend to gravitate toward the freeze dried raw so I focused on that and I always check expiration dates before purchase. I found 10+ items that were expired still sitting on the shelf. No lie, one expired in 2023. I looked at the frozen raw and there were SO many expired products as well. I found a product I use that was expiring in less than a month and tried to see if I could get a discount. The associates and store manager couldn't approve a discount and said they couldn't call the GM (not that I asked them to) as "he doesn't like to be bothered". Most, if not all, PSPs give discounts on products expiring in a month or two but this place seems to not check expiration dates at all or be accommodating to customers.

This evening I noticed one of the employees that I've had difficulty dealing with (I know his name which is Sam) having a disgruntled discussion with a customer. Although the customer was a bit loud, I could hear her saying that the product she had ordered previously were all expired and to be honest if that happened to me and they were medications I would be very upset as well as this could affect the health of your pets. The employee named Sam,as well as the manager, who appeared quite disheveled, appeared to be taking out their anger at the customer because she wanted them to take accountability, but it appeared they did not care. I didn't hear the entire conversation but left the store as I have also had the same issues at this store. I no longer purchase online as things are always missing or something is wrong with the item. I normally don't leave reviews, but I am tired of being treated as this other older woman has been treated. Workers at the store never seem to care anymore. Customers are never treated with respect.

    Poor customer service and suspect return policy…read more I bought a number of items for my son to convert is lizard environment into bioactive. One of those items was a UV light that we ended up not needing. When I went to return it they told me they don't give cash refunds. The light is unused and unopened. The employee pointed to a paper taped to the counter stating that policy. The problem is that when I purchased the dirt, hides and insects, he brought everything to the counter and set it all on top of that notice. So I didn't see it. Nor would I have had the opportunity to see it as nothing placed there went into a bag. When I pointed that out he said it's written in the receipt. Which is also suspect as at that point the transaction is already complete and I had no opportunity to consider their policy at that point. I don't need $100 is store credit. And it's poor business practice to place your refund policy in one place, directly where it will be covered and unseen when checking out. If your goal is to compete and run a viable business how can you continue to lack a reasonable return policy on unused and unopened items?

I cannot say enough how this location is the exact opposite. I went it to buy crickets today, two steps into the door and a lady immediately asks me "Do you need anything or are you just looking?" Normally I love to look around these stores to see all the new animals but this location made me way too uncomfortable to even walk past the front desk. All of the workers were huddled around the front holding conversation trying to get all the customers they could out of the store as fast as they could so they could go back to their own conversations. This place treats customers like pests.

    I have had the worst experiences with Wardle's and just want to warn others…read more In June 2024, as a brand new chicken owners, I bought 3 Rhode Island Red hens from them. I was not able to go into the coop with the sales associate so he just went in, grabbed whatever three hens he could get and put them in my carrier. When I got home and took them out, I noticed one could barely walk. I tried to give her some rescue 911 electrolytes in her water and access to food thinking maybe getting scooped up and put in a box and then being in a car for 15 minutes was a stress on her nervous system and she just needed some time to acclimate. I called Wardle's to tell them what happened and asked if I could switch her for another hen. The manager told me no because she could be sick... even though that meant they had just sold me a sick chicken. She struggled for weeks. We had to keep her in a separate coop and spent countless dollars on a ton of different supplements trying to figure out what was wrong with her and to keep her alive. Finally we tried Vitamin B12 and after a few days of it in her water, she able to walk normally. Although she was always a pretty sickly chicken and not even a year later we found her dead in the coop one morning (no sign of attack or any injuries). Fast forward to September of 2025. We wanted to get a few chicks to raise and integrate with our flock. Against my better judgement, we went back to Wardle's to get chicks. They only had 4 week olds and again, we weren't allowed in the room where the brooders were to pick the ones we wanted so we just told the associate how many and which breeds. We got 3 gold laced Wyandottes, a Rhode Island Red and a Barred Rock. I looked in the box and noticed one of the hens had a pretty big comb. I asked if that was normal because we definitely didn't want a rooster. They assured me it was a hen. 3 months later, our "hen" has started crowing. We can't have roosters in Lakewood so now we have to find someone to take him or cull him. It breaks my heart. Of note, since then we have ordered chicks from McMurray and Meyer's Hatchery and had really healthy, beautiful, hens. Not a single rooster. I would highly recommend ordering from a hatchery over buying any chickens from Wardle's!

    Planet Pethood is a nice little pet food store at 43rd & Tennyson, right next door to Wine Jesters…read more(the new little wine shop in the neighborhood). The store has various brands and types of pet food, treats, and toys. She also has a few adoptable cats and dogs that were obviously given up by their uncaring people parents. The owner is a vet tech and a vegetarian, and she seems to care deeply about animals. The shop is not as big or as fancy as Mouthfuls pet boutique down the street but it carries the dog food we buy. Nature's Variety is a great natural dry dog food. Our dog loves all the flavors... and while it is more expensive than grocery store dog food, because the food has less cheap "fillers", dogs actually eat less than they would of other "cheaper" brands. So, the price is actually only slightly more more expensive when you factor in the whole bag lasts longer than the same size of cheaper brands. http://www.naturesvariety.com/ 4 1/2 stars because she cares about the animals!

    This small and very adorably designed pet store in the Highlands area combines a charming retail…read morespace with a passion for rescued animals. You can view animals available for adoption- usually cats or small dogs- every day during store hours. The store owner describes Planet Pethood as, "a politically correct pet store." I can't justify giving any less than four stars to a cute shoppette that combines support for pet adoption and rescue with a fairly nice selection of foods, treats, toys, leashes, and everything you need for your dog or cat; and Planet Pethood fully deserves the four stars it's getting. I do, however, have some minor gripes. For starters, both the store itself and the website are unclear on exactly what Planet Pethood's involvement with Planned Pethood, the low-cost vet down the street, is. Nowhere can I find an actual percentage donated to a specific organization, and as a rescue person that sets off a serious case of nerves. The website describes the store owner as having her own rescue- but where is the name, the 501(c)3 status, the official website? Also many of the links point to Planned Pethood, but nowhere does the store owner declare an official affiliation. My spidey senses would be beeping if it weren't for the clear support of rescues via adoptable animals in store. I'd love to know if this store donates its profits, and if so, what percentage and TO WHOM; also, how closely, exactly, it is related to Planned Pethood. Second, I have a few snipes to take at the dog food selection. Canidae and Timber Wolf are excellent choices, but where is Innova Evo? I wanted a bag of Innova Evo Red Meat, but left empty handed because it doesn't appear to be on the shelves. And Avo Derm? It uses ground corn in several formulas- NOT exactly up to my pet food standards. Breeder's Choice is similarly well packaged but lacking in actual quality. However, for the slightly less picky than myself, Planet Pethood seems to be a nice pet supply store with many good choices and a true desire to support rescue and adoption.
