I was looking for a parakeet for my mother. Let me preface this review with telling you that I…read morehave been a bird owner for over 40 years and have a lot of experience with African Greys, conures, and parakeets. Because there were no pet shops in my local area with a selection of more than one or two parakeets to choose from, I drove 35 minutes to Gaffney to get the parakeet. The person who waited on me was pleasant and polite. The shop appeared to have a good selection of pets for a small independently owned shop. If I remember correctly , they had rabbits, chinchillas, parakeets, and a snake at least. There was a lot of dust on the parakeet supplies I looked at and selected, so much so that I had enough dust on my fingertips from selecting a few items that I had to wipe the dust off on my shirt. This should have been my first clue, but I was so intent on getting my 92 year old mother the parakeet she wanted, I overlooked it. There were about 6-8 parakeets to choose from, but my second clue should have been that all of them were sitting on a perch that went across the cage and there was no chattering or playing, activity, etc. I should have been more aware, but I was so intent on my goal, I overlooked things I should not have. I saw one female that appeared to have mites based on the condition of her nares, but I chose a male that appeared healthy. I purchased the bird and a few other items and headed home. At about 6 pm, the parakeet was placed in a nice cage that was clean and ready to be a mansion for my mom's new companion. He sat on the bottom of the cage for the rest of the evening, which is not necessarily abnormal when placing a parakeet in a new home. It can sometimes take two or three days to acclimate to new surroundings. I covered the cage before we went to bed. In the morning, when I removed the cover, the bird had not moved, which could be deduced by the feces at the bottom of the cage. It hadn't moved since being placed into the cage. It did move a little further back into the corner of the cage in the morning when I added new seed and pellets, but didn't move from that corner at all the rest of the day. The cage is on a stand by a window next to my desk since I am working remotely due to the pandemic, so I kept an eye on him most of the morning and he continued to stay in the corner, and I attributed that to being in a new environment. I stepped away from my desk around noon to get lunch, and when I got back to my desk about 45 minutes later, the poor thing was gone. I let the store know what happened and the response was simply "I have no warranty on live animals. I'm sorry." There seemed to be no concern about the parakeet I bought or the remaining birds in the store. I was surprised there was no mention of quarantining the remaining birds until they could determine the were not sick and not selling them until they could be sure the birds were okay. I cannot comment on the grooming services or other animals, but please don't buy a parakeet from them. Even though parakeets are inexpensive as far as pets go, they are a living being and should be cared for and about. Just sayin'....

I ventured into this store today for two reasons! I wanted to see the pet selection and the other…read morereason is because I haven't been in here in about forty years! I don't know why I haven't stopped here in such a long time! I love pets of all kinds especially dogs and puppies and cats and kittens! Well; I didn't see any of those but I did see the cutest guinea pigs; rabbits, not so cute mice; finches; and parakeets! All looked lively and playful and happy! The person attending this place was very nice to me. I informed her that I was just looking around and that I was just curious. There aren't many animals more adorable than pet rabbits and guinea pigs. In years gone by I've owned both. But as a word of caution to potential rabbit and guinea pig buyers: Both of these animals are high maintenance! And I'm not referring to money. They produce waste very rapidly! I'm not going to get more graphic than that but I hope you understand my meaning! I read the previous Yelp reviews and they are not very flattering! I can only report on my visit and I didn't see anything that would warrant a negative review! Based on what I saw and experienced today; I can and do recommend this place to the public!

They have cats, hamsters, frogs, turtles, lizards, some birds, etc.. Should cut some slack to the owner, she's 90. She's got a couple of daughters that help run the place, and some other younger folks helping out. If they gave up on all the rats, the place may not smell so bad. She doesn't usually keep too many dogs at one time, a couple behind the counter, puppies. Not sure how many cats they keep in there. It's a small mom and pops place.

Do NOT buy any animals from this business. I am writing this so no other family goes through what…read morewe just went through. My wife purchased a Schnauzer doodle puppy here on Saturday afternoon. The puppy was lethargic and clearly not feeling well. We were told the puppy had just received its parvo shots that day, that this was why it was acting that way, and that the puppy would be fine within 24 hours -- by Sunday morning. That is not what happened. By Sunday morning the puppy could barely walk and could not keep anything down. It did not recover. The puppy died Sunday evening -- barely a day after we brought it We were sold a sick animal, and the seriousness of its condition was explained away instead of disclosed. A business that will hand a family a puppy in that condition, and send them home with "it'll be fine in 24 hours," should not be selling animals to the public. I strongly do not recommend purchasing anything from this establishment. If you are considering buying a puppy here, please -- take it to your own vet for a health check before you pay a dime, and get every health claim in writing. We trusted what we were told, and our puppy is dead.

Like most small businesses they do have to contend with supply issues. I attempted to purchase more Japanese Beetle trap bags while I was here. Unfortunately, they are on back order and have been ordered several times. I just can't hold any store accountable for being out of merchandise these days! Especially when they are honest with me ! Thanks ! A job well done! Yes I highly recommend this place for your lawn and farming needs !

Anyways, I communicated via text about the issue and now they refuse to provide any service unless we pay a $50 no show fee plus $50 pre booking for future services. Very bad way to do business and we'll gladly stick with Earthwise.
