    Shrimp, snail, and live plant.
    JaneDoe A.

    Staff was kind and knowledgeable. We bought a plant, a couple snails and a baby shrimp. All are very healthy and we plan on returning to get more fish. They had some very cool coral and tanks. A little hit of everything! Definitely recommend!

    Unleashed Cary - Dog Bath Area

    Unleashed Cary

    (40 reviews)

    ‍Reactive dog owner here!…read more I'd like to start off by saying I have never had a bad experience at any of the Unleashed locations! The staff at each store are absolutely phenomenal. I frequent this store for their dog bathing station. General Unleashed info: I always call ahead to reserve a spot for a bath- you must do this to ensure they have time for you. Baths are reserved for an hour. They usually fill up quickly for a weekend spot but I've never had any issues with same day reservations so long as you are flexible. I also really appreciate that the staff has always been super considerate and understanding when I specify that my dog is reactive to both other dogs and some people. I usually let them know while he looks super approachable because he's so fluffy and cute () he's kind of a butthead with strangers (). They always respond with kindness and politely give him plenty of space when we come in- and also let us know if there are other dogs in the store when we come in! I cannot tell you how much reassurance this gives us as owners to a reactive dog- we appreciate this courtesy so much! Protip: buy the frequent bather card! $60 for 4 baths and your 5th is free! They link this to your phone number so you don't have to worry about losing the card and it is good for use at any of their locations! Cary specific: The bathing area is in the back of the store where they stock bigger items. There is a baby gate and curtain you can use for some privacy but as my dog is reactive and as the location of the bath is open to the public I do wish there was a door just for peace of mind. We have had instances where other curious customers try to peek in the bathing area which has caused my pup to freak out a bit. The room is a little tight but you can make do with two adults plus your pup. I would say the bathing station is a good size for dogs up to the 60-ish lb range. 70 and up might be a tight squeeze. The always are stocked with plenty of soap/conditioner/ear cleaning/grooming tools! TL;DR $15 self bathing station, well worth the price for not having to clean up/well stocked bathing area and very accommodating staff.

    This place is the only one around where I can wash my pooch myself! Great set up and it's 15 bucks…read morefor an hour with all the supplies! Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

    I've been a dog owner (or, rather, I've been owned by my dog) for 2 months now. Our first stop…read moreafter adoption was to this Petco to buy the necessities. Obviously, they have everything we need. But, more importantly, the staff is friendly and happy to talk about any needs you may have. We took training with Jessica which has been very successful in training both my dog and me. We've had such a good experience at this location that we even signed up for grooming. Justin took plenty of time getting to know me and my dog before starting which allowed my dog to get really comfortable with him. She came out looking super sweet and smelling good for days! Long story short, this has been a one-stop-shop for all our needs from dog food, treats, toys, training and grooming! I can't wait for the store remodel to be finished.

    I really don't know what they put in the 2 for $5 toy bins but Andy (my cat) is obsessed with this…read moreunicorn llama that we have lovingly named Lebron. Lebron is the stuffed animals name because of the way Andy throws him like she's trying for a game winning free throw. She loves nothing more but to absolutely destroy this little guy and then run around the house with him. Anyways, I've always enjoyed the staff here. They always remember my mantises (which is pretty niche). Sometimes I even just come in and roam the shelves because they have so many things that I can just look at and try not to buy haha. I may have to come back by and get some cat grass for my (kind of evil) little cat.

    My Favorite Fish Store!…read more This is hands down my favorite fish store! It's such a relief to know the crew here--Jillian, Evan, and Chris--are not only friendly and laidback, but also incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. I'm fairly new to the hobby and they've always been patient in answering my questions, guiding me through everything, and encouraging me to do my research before purchasing. I'm especially into puffer fish and rainbow fish, and every fish I've brought home from here has been healthy and in great condition. Of course, as a buyer, it's also important to do your own due diligence--acclimating and quarantining properly really helps your fish settle in and thrive. What makes this store even better is that they offer special orders! If there's something specific you're looking for, talk to Evan--he's amazing! Super friendly and attentive, and he'll take great care of you and your order. Every visit is a great experience--the whole crew creates a welcoming, fun, and relaxed environment. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned aquarist, I highly recommend this place. They also carry a wide variety of amphibians, reptiles, tropical, and saltwater fish--definitely a well-rounded store for all things aquatic (and more!).

    I went in to learn about aquatic plants and one of the men working was extremely rude and short. He…read moresold me a plant that he was trimming out of the big tank in the front of the store, I returned home to add it to my own tank and not a day or two later my fish was sick with Ich. I would stay away from buying any plants from them..
