I bought an overpriced dog toy covered in dust and seen brands I've never seen before as they're way older than me with sun faded packaging. I'm not sure how Gary opened this place, maybe it was once clean and popular but now it seems like a hoarders heaven. I can't imagine what anyone would need to buy from here besides bugs.

Oh, the joy I would experience by coyly rattling off pithy reviews with one syllable. But no; I must comment in detail to help my Yelp community avoid such establishments. Ok, here goes. We walked in, smelled the cramped, third-world, hoarder garage feigning to be a store and felt a sudden sadness for the living things inside. My wife looked at me as if to suggest I had taken her here as punishment after I shot down her request to go to the Brookfield Petsmart. No, I said, we have to support mom and pop businesses! Well, maybe the people working there are nice and informed (as some other reviewers suggested) but we shall never find out.

Some employees came across as negative or uninterested, which made the experience uncomfortable. I think the store really needs to work on communication and customer service.

The one positive experience I consistently had was with Mary -- she was kind, attentive, and actually listened when I had questions or concerns. I hope the business takes customer feedback seriously and improves the way they interact with people moving forward.

They're always having little events and promotions and lots of customers bring their dogs. They have a good selection of both dog and cat items. My thing recently has been the pouches of cat food for extra hydration. My cats like the Weruva brand of those so I like to get them here. For some reason I always have better luck buying some cat food from the store rather than ordering by the case online, though of course I do that too. I've also picked up quite a few mousie and catnip and silver vine toys for my cats--silver vine has been kind of a revelation btw. I've even gotten a few dog treats up at the front register for friends' dogs. The single dental treats are hard to resist and the dogs like them. The people are always friendly and happy to offer recommendations. I have multiple sources for my pet needs, but I'm always happy to give Mac's my business. Can't say it enough.
