I bought a parakeet from 50 fathoms four days ago and I've already spent hundreds of dollars on vet…read morebills because she came infected with Chlamidophilosis. From my interactions with the staff, it sounds like they would not have gotten her treated if they found out she was sick at the store. It feels like buying her ended up being kind of a rescue mission, honestly. The staff at 50 fathoms tried to deny that she was even sick, telling me that the vet I went to wasn't good and insisting that I should have gone to a different vet all the way in Baton Rouge. They said the vet was just guessing, but actually the vet did a fecal exam and also sent her blood out to a lab. I know I'm not the ideal pet owner because I'm poor and have an active outdoorsy lifestyle, but I'm doing everything I can to save this bird which is much more than they did. The bird is responding well to treatment and the vet says she has a pretty good chance of survival, but the articles I've read say that the treatment plan involves six weeks of antibiotic injections to prevent the bacterial infection from becoming treatment resistant. That's a lot of vet appointments for an animal I just bought four days ago. Chlamydophilosis is transmittable to humans. While I do recommend buying from a small locally owned business, this one wouldn't be my first choice anymore despite their wonderful selection of exotics, because I don't feel good about their standards for ensuring their animals' health and well being. If you must buy from this store, proceed with caution.

My husband and I place bets for if we'll actually find both of the things we are looking for as we walk in. It's rare that we do. The store is often in disarray and all too often, we'll find the giant bag of litter we need on a dolly, with other brands piled on top of it, the shelves empty. No staff in sight (I swear there used to be plenty of helpful staff around, asking if they can help you with anything). Anyway, that's a management issue. Stock your shelves, please. Checkout staff is always so nice. No complaints there. If we can help it, we prefer to go to their location in Mid-City which is slightly better than this one on Vets, but sometimes this is the more convenient location given the errands we need to run.

Parking is always easy, associates are super friendly & helpful, price is good, and selection is awesome. The layout of the store also makes it pretty easy to find what you need - and occasionally things you don't need but buy anyway (seasonal toys!). They have a lot of adoption events here, and they do a lot for the rescues in the area - bonus to supporting them. There's a cat rescue inside and various dog rescues on weekend. I haven't used the vet, but have used the groomer a few years ago for a quick bath and nail trim. They did a good job. Really love the order ahead and pick up in store option. There's never a long wait, and the coupons online are awesome. It helps that I can easily add things to my online cart while I'm at home, then drive over and pick up them up later that same day.
