I stopped in about a year ago to look at some rescue kittens up for adoption & ultimately decided it wasn't the right time for me... but left my number in case they got a litter in sometime in the future. When COVID hit earlier this year, my life slowed down and I felt like it was time to revisit Pet's General to see if any cuties were up for adoption! Funny how life happens because Pet's General beat me to it and called me as they still had my name and number and let me know when they got a small litter in! I visited the same day and they let me play with each of the kittens until I made up my mind one which one I liked best. They made sure I had all the food and supplies I need, and was sure to handle her spay for me when she got a little older free of charge, and were nothing but friendly, kind, and accommodating whenever I had questions from trimming nails to food suggestions. I've been back an handful of times since and they always ask how my little one is doing & I can tell they truly care. Give this local business a visit and I know you won't be disappointed!! read more

This is a fun local pet store! Many unique items for all types of pets. The aquarium room was quite impressive! Many supplies for aquarium fish and fish available for sale.

I've been going to Pets General for years and the staff is always super friendly, and the place is clean and well-organized, so it's easy to find what you need. They've got a great selection of products, and if they don't have something, they'll order it for you. Prices are comparable to if not cheaper than the big box stores so it's worth a stop if you're looking to shop local. read more

The single worst experience I've ever had as a customer paying for a service has been with the groomer here. Here's the whole ordeal: I had gone to groomers before and have been to groomers since and never dealt with anyone so rude and aggressive. I have a Pomeranian, he's a bit anxious and hates being groomed. When I took him to be groomed by Mariah, I explained that he is still a puppy and doesn't like being groomed and asked that she leave his fur long for more of a traditional look. She was extremely arrogant from the beginning and made it sound like she was the authority when it comes to dog grooming, acting insulted that I would dare ask her to groom him a certain way. Not much longer after I left him there I get a phone call from this groomer saying that she couldn't handle him and wanted me to come in to hold him down while she finished torturing him. I get there and his long beautiful overcoat has all been cut away, he's only half finished and completely breaking down. She says 'he's acting like I'm hurting him, but I'm not hurting him' all while he is yelping and she is tearing at the fur around his neck. It certainly looked like she was hurting him, he was terrified. I come to try and help and he's not having it, he wouldn't stop crying and then started to try and bite his torturer. So this awful, cruel witch gets angry with me and tells me that I'll just have to bring him back the next day so that she can finish. She made me pay for the entire grooming even though she did not finish and had given him a cut I didn't ask for or want. I reluctantly paid, she began demeaning me and telling me that I was a terrible dog owner and shouldn't have a pet. I was in so much shock and humiliation I didn't know what to do or say, I humbly left. When I got him home he hid from me for hours. When he finally came out I was looking him over and noticed that there was a wound on his neck where she has been ripping at his fur. I'm not sure if she cut him or just tore his fur out so aggressively that she ripped his skin open. The following day I was getting ready to take him back so that I could show her what happened to his neck. I was pretty upset that she never actually finished yet still charged me full price and had actually hurt my pet. I didn't get the chance to go back and confront her because she called and left a nasty message to cancel my appointment. Her phone message was so incredibly rude. She started off by saying "I'm calling about.... Uh, I don't even want to say his name because it's soooo exotic" and then went on about how she wouldn't be able to finish the job that she was paid to do. What kind of demeaning BS is that? My dog's name is six letters long and consists of two syllables, it felt like just another angle for this wretched witch to attack me from. If I didn't love this store and the rest of the staff so much, I would have never gone back. read more

Pet's General Store - Gypsy the store bird - Pet Stores Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

Fantastic and locally owned per store in the heart of Lakewood. They have a ton of higher end and organic type cat/dog food here. You won't find any meow mix or Pureena here and that's a good thing. They have a TON of aquarium stuff here and when I actually pull the trigger and get one....this place has every single aquarium need. They also carry live birds and lots of variety of bird food and supplies. Make sure you sign up for their rewards program as well. Staff always friendly and ready to help in any way. Support your local stores like this one. I will absolutely be back again soon read more

Always a cool crew and great to support a local small business. We get our dog food there and love their card system.

Employees are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Store is clean and well stocked, prices are fair. Very reputable, a great place to take questions regarding pet and animal care. If they don't have the animal or product you are looking for they will order it. A+ read more

Unbelievably great service. I've been going here for a couple years for dog food. Today was the only day it was not in stock for a couple more days but they gave me a bunch of free sample bags to get through the next couple days till they would have more of the brand and size I needed for my dog. Me and my dog are very pleased with this place. Thank you for going the extra mile. read more

Love the small, local feel of this pet store. I feel the store well stocked and staff knowledgeable. Yes, the large box stores may have more to offer, but how much do you really need when you have all you need here! read more

The employees are awesome. It's a family owned and operated pet store. They also have grooming. They are just amazing. Super knowledgeable and for a small shop. They certainly have about everything you will ever need!! read more

I took my dog to see the Easter Bunny at Pets General Store in Lakewood, Ohio. This is something they do once a year at this store. They were really good with her. On the way out they gave her some homemade treats that she devoured in a few seconds. Unfortunately, I have to wait 2 weeks to get the pictures, but what's really great about this store is they don't advertise doing the pet pictures so there wasn't a long line. It took less than 10 minutes. This is the 3rd time I've brought my dog in to get her pictures taken and they always do a great job handling her. Overall it was a really great and pleasant experience. read more

I brought my dog in to Mariah for grooming. I was really worried about him because he had recently lost his sister and this was his first ever groom without her. Mariah was so kind and greeted us very warmly, she asked me about what I wanted to do with him and we even talked about long term goals as far as getting the cut I would eventually like for him to have. My guy is also very nervous but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I left. When I saw him he looked amazing, his coat is the softest is has been in a while and she paid extra attention to his beard which I requested. I will be coming back and recommending Mariah to everyone! read more

I am having an issue with a 15 year old goldfish in my fish pond. After showing the employee a picture of my fish, she knew exactly what was wrong with her and began suggesting a treatment plan. It was great going to a small business that is run by knowledgeable and friendly people. I will definitely be going back. read more

When Pet's is your option, you should MOST DEFINITELY choose your local pet store over the big chain stores or Amazon Prime!!! I never thought I'd say this about a pet store, but i LOVE Pet's...They have: 1) Great selection that is carefully curated, so you're not getting any overpriced, gimmicky brands 2) SUPER friendly, knowledgeable staff - They always pick up my phone calls 3) Fun, exciting, unique atmosphere FULL of cool creatures I've gotten a huge range of items here (for myself and for friends), from basic needs like a dog bed for my 10-lb terrier to dead mice for a friend's snake (no joke, they had them when I randomly asked for them) to multiple different kinds of guinea pig food and litter to beta fish supplies. This is a GREAT place to go because they have a lot of zany creatures to check out while you shop - From SHARKS to birds to exotic fish. They even have a charming "Pet Store bird" who lives there and isn't for sale. :) read more

My favorite pet shop! I got my first hamster here as a kid and found myself back buying a pair of dwarf hamsters for my 10 year old for Christmas. The hamsters are extremely tame and thriving. Customer service is amazing and the animals are well cared for. They also board small animals for $2 a day so families can go on vacation. How adorable is that?! read more

Moved to the neighborhood recently. When I walk my dog, she insists on walking by this store. She has even trained an employee to drop a treat through the mail slot for her. I buy all treats, toys, and food there and she gets groomed there as well. So grateful I moved so close by. read more

Best. Store. Ever. The staff and groomer are beyond knowledgeable and helpful. Forget the big box, shop local! read more

I live on the opposite side of town, yet this pet store is a favorite. The staff is friendly and the store has everything you need for your house pet or pet hobby. I regularly frequent PGS just for live mice to feed the ball python, but coming in has rekindled my interest in starting a marine aquarium. If I'm to do it, this is where I will start for supplies and advice. read more

Pet's General Store - Entrance off Madison - Pet Stores Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

I was lied to. I saw that some of the Betta fish in their little containers had very green water. It looked like the staff never bothered to change it. As I was looking I was approached by one of the staff members. He asked if I needed any help. I said "I think some of your fish have fin rot. Look at this one in the top corner. His fins are deteriorating. " He looked and said "Do you know what a crowntail Betta looks like?" Yes I do. "That's what he is that's why his fins look like that." Now, I know sometimes it's hard to tell if a crowntail Betta has fin rot because of the natural look of their fins. So I looked at the fish and turned the cup around and saw that the label said "Halfmoon" Betta. Clearly he was not a crowntail and he was sick, or very stressed from the condition of the water. He could even be biting off his own fins. The staff member lied to me to avoid taking responsibility and helping the fish. What the F?! And he tried to make me second guess myself as well. I know my friends like this place but after I experienced that, I will NOT be spending my money here. Who knows what else they're lying about? I will actively share this story and let people know the bettas are being abused. Some of the staff members here are nice and share a lot of helpful information, but this seriously upset me. Most pet stores treat betta fish like this, but I didn't expect such a well rated store to be like all the others. I took the pic quickly but you can see his fins are messed up. I should have gotten the label in it too. read more

This is hands down the best pet store of all time. A small "mom-and-pop" like place. Everyone there treats you like family and they're EXTREMELY knowledgeable on everything from live plants in aquariums to the ingredients in my cats food. Prices are beyond fair. Great quality products. They take fantastic care of the animals in the store. I've really never been anywhere else like it. I have also had my cat groomed here too, and they did a great job. read more

I love this pet store, everyone is so friendly and great prices. The groomer is so wonderful with all our pets and I love the prices.

A great place to shop for all things pet related. I shopped here to set up my first aquarium as a kid. The freshwater selection is standard. The saltwater selection is also average. The place excels in the knowledge of the staff. They will advise you how to set up a basic starter tank or a complex reef tank. In the corporate world that we live in, this is rare. A pet store should be a family run establishment that has many years of experience. They are professionals. The fish are well cared for and not diseased. They will stand by their products and not stick you with some busted up fish or pets. There is a huge iguana that has been in the store for years that sits by the front window. If I choose to set up a tank again, this will be the place I go to do it. read more

This store is the epitome of customer service. I stopped in Wednesday evening due to a problem with my goldfish tank. I met the owner Greg who couldn't of been more kind and helpful. He instructed me on how to take care of the situation and spent time explaining things to me. I needed to go back today (Sunday) and the staff & owner were very helpful in doing everything they could to figure out what was happening with my tank. If I could give this place TEN stars I would! Pet's General Store has reinforced my belief in that "there really are kind, considerate & helpful people in the world" and you can find them at Pet's General Store! read more

Like high school mathematics, this little, local pet shop has unfortunately slipped my mind for a long time. Thankfully, I remembered that I used to love coming here! It's the cutest pet shop ever--like, something right out of a movie. These are true animal lovers here with a local business that supports other local business. I even suggested them to a film maker who was looking for a quaint, locally owned pet shop for a documentary. The staff is what shines over everything here. These people really know their stuff! They even know how to set up a saltwater tank, which is not easy. But don't sleep on the selection. They have reptiles, amphibians, rodents, dogs, cats, you name it! Lots of great pet foods, products and more. I can honestly say that I can't wait to come back here with my pup. Like other yelpers have said, it truly is a business you want to visit and support. read more

If your looking for an old fashion pet store you have found it, very helpful staff nice healthy animals

This is a business I root for. It is small, but packed full of passion. I go there for dog and cat food, but they also have fish and reptile(?) supplies, birds and adoptable kittens. They know way too much about pet food, and I love them for it. Nothing but quality items here. They can turn you on to the perfect pet chow for your beasts at any budget. And they will give you ample samples to find the one that works. read more

I had never been to Pet's General Store before I was very impressed with everything about it. The store was clean and well organized. The help was polite and knowledgeable. I was able to get the pet food I needed and even found a small water bottle which I have been searching for quite some time - one that the big stores won't carry. I am so happy I discovered this shop. I am looking forward to coming back! read more

This store is terrific. It has great customer service. My son has a couple of aquariums. The staff offer great advice, and really take their time to listen to him and help him make decisions about adding to the tanks and or discussing problems. It's very nice to have a store that treats young customers with respect and consideration. read more

Love Pets General Store and have been shopping here for almost a decade! They are a well stocked pet store, but what really makes them stand out is their staff. I have been in to Pets General many times with questions for the staff about food or products. They have always been knowledgeable about pet nutrition and the products they carry. I really appreciate their expertise and kindness. Love shopping for my cats and dog here! read more

One of the last few remaining "real" pet stores. The other commercial pet stores just don't cut it. There is something to be said about walking into a pet store and smelling cedar chips, hearing birds chirping and regulars conversing with the employees. I would highly recommend anyone stopping in. read more
