The service from the staff was great, and they were all very friendly. They do have quite a decent selection of fish as well as other supplies and animals. The store is kept clean and organized. All of the animals look like they're in great condition and like they are very well cared for. The prices aren't too steep either. Overall, this is a nice location, and we will definitely be shopping here more often.

No frills; just a quiet farm where, if you'd like, you can have the dogs run around. The animals are verified for health before being allowed to board, so no need to worry about your loved ones getting sick while you're gone. The location is a little out of the way; you have to go down Sand Hill Trail, a gravel road, for a couple miles. But it's well worth the trip. Pick-up and drop-off during weekdays is before 7AM and 5-7 PM, which can be tough, but on the upside they are open Sundays 12-6PM (closed Saturday). The rates are great too, $8 per day (call to confirm); SO much better than a certain location on 580th that charged me $800 for a two weeks to board a dog and cat! Becky is a veterinarian, and her children are always there too. Wonderful people!

We've been taking our 2 1/2 year old lab/terrier mix to her for almost 2 years now. Charley LOVES going, and is exhausted when we pick her up. (And we LOVE that! She's a hyper 85 pound dog people!) We'll never take Charley anywhere else. The ranch is clean, is run efficiently, and is the perfect spot for our baby to spend a wknd. The rates are also completely reasonable! Try it out for yourself!

All had catnip in them which I was told was supplied locally and that the lady making these toys would not disclose her source. Led me to believe that it's cats recommended. Well...I brought the bag of goodies home but had to run and get kids from school. Now, my cat Jarvis is a good boy. He doesn't jump on the table EVER. When the kids and I got home, Jarvis had the handle of the bag around his neck, the bag ripped open, and 2 of the toys ripped out of the plastic ziplocks. The other 2 toys couldn't quite make it out of the package. Jarvis loves them. He sure has gotten a lot of play time and exercise with these...and he was pretty high. I will definitely be buying again!

Brekke's is a Gem…read more Sure you can go to Brekke's for the wide selection, reasonable prices, quick service, or even free popcorn, but what keeps me going back to Brekke's is the Brekke family. They are fun to talk with, share good stories, they know their stuff, and they love each other. It is simply a delight to walk into their store. They have an array of pet foods, livestock foods, bird foods, they even have chinchilla feed. Apart from feed, there is also a great selection of pet toys, bird houses, and agricultural products. However, do yourself a favor and stop in on any spring day and check out the "seed buffet". This is an old fashioned counter of over 30 fresh seed types. You can hand pick and measure your own seeds to put in little envelopes or just explain to any Brekke that you'd like to grow any vegetable and they will step you though the options and measure out exactly how many seeds you need. Don't buy generic packs of too many or too few seeds, get the exact plants in the right numbers and enjoy a great chat with a Brekke. A great place to feel good about Iowa.

4/29/26 11:30 a.m…read more Walk-in Unfortunately, my Mom's cat had passed away the night before, and I was trying to help her find somewhere to bring her cat to get cremated. I had called many different places on 4/28/26, but it was after hours for most places, so I had to wait until the next morning. After calling a bunch of different places and hearing outrageous prices, I was able to find All Pets Animal Hospital, and I'm really glad that I did. The person I spoke with was very kind and understanding, and the price for cremation was under $300. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a caring and understanding smile, and she had mentioned that she remembered we spoke on the phone earlier that morning. She treated us with compassion and patience. My Mom had carried her cat in with her blankets, and the woman behind the desk (unfortunately, I can't remember her name because this was a tough day for all of us) gently received my Mom's cat as well as the blankets. My Mom had asked if the blankets could go with her cat, and the kind woman said she would ask and try to make sure that the blankets go with her for cremation. We received all information very clearly, and the transaction was as painless as possible in that type of situation. We will be receiving my Mom's cat back in a velvet bag, and we were assured that this would be a private cremation; meaning she will only be cremated by herself and not with other animals. Overall, this is definitely somewhere that I would bring my animals. This is a place that makes you feel comfortable and cared about.

They do a great job of explaining every procedure they do and are very reasonably priced. I took my pet there to be neutered and was offered superior care, including pain medication and antibiotics as needed. This facility even works with veterinary students and closely supervises very minor procedures that they do , which is entirely legal and even encouraged by the veterinary colleges. It is very obvious that the staff truly loves pets and has their best interests at heart. All Pets even sees exotics and has a veterinarian who is very specialized and highly regarded in that respect. What else can I say?
