Happy vibes here! This is absolutely the place to go if you loving caring for your feathered (even furry squirrel) friends. Or if you prefer to keep the squirrels at bay and cater to the birds, they've got solutions for that too! I've been patronizing this store for many years and renew my $25 membership yearly. The membership is a great option if you shop regularly as it provides a discount every time you shop. With the amount I spend annually on bird food, it pays for itself in dividends. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and have fielded my questions about dealing with annoying starlings and black birds and what to offer my songbirds with the changing seasons. I also love that they stock thoughtful gifts like jewelry, cards, books, garden flags, bird baths and other decor. At the holidays, they have packages for anyone interested in starting a new birding hobby with tips and tricks. And once (or maybe twice) a year, they offer a feeder trade in event to get new, discounted feeders. Most of my dollars here are spent on the food, which is high quality (so don't expect to pay what you would for a bag of filler at Lowe's or Home Depot). That also means the birds don't throw most of it on the ground looking for the "good stuff." A 20# bag lasts me quite a long time in an air-tight container. I also enjoy picking out a couple of ornaments each year from their ever-changing selection. What's most valuable to me about WBU is that they have allowed me to spend more time outside in our backyard with my daughter, who at under 2 years, can already identify a cardinal, Carolina bluebird, finch, titmouse, chickadee, wren, sparrow and, yes, even a dreaded starling! The staff knows their stuff and they clearly love what they do!

We'd popped in to grab a birthday present for my Father, who's a big bird and squirrel enthusiast and were blown away by the knowledgable, welcoming staff as well as array of options. Beyond the selection, the rates were competitive to what you can find at online retailers. First off, there was a store cat... who was a little aloof but open to pets. Off to a good start. We browsed the many seed and feeder options before telling one of the employees that my Dad loved feeding birds, but was at constant odds with the squirrels in his backyard We got a thorough rundown of the many squirrel deterrent options, and ended up walking away with a cute little feeder for the squirrels that would distract them away from the birdfeeders my Dad has all over his back yard. The employees were super chill and made the shopping experience very pleasant. They had a great many options for feeders of all shapes and sizes, some crazy contraptions for anti-squirrel bird feeders. They didn't hover or make it awkward when the sales pitch portion was done, and let us noodle on the purchase in peace. Very knowledgable, and also clearly run by animal lovers. Would definitely come back.

This is the first pet store where I've seen two turtoises roaming freely. They have a ton of fresh…read morewater fish, especially cichlids, turtles, birds. The talking parrot was fun to mess around and conversation with. There is a lot going on at this pet store. Everything is alive and meant for people who have a fish hobby or looking to explore their reptile section. The smell of pets in the air is bearable consider they carry many little animals like guinea pig, hamsters, snakes and lizards. But perhaps their carpet can get some shampooing. But I get it, they have free roaming turtoises on the loose, leaving gifts for the pet store associates to clean without a doubt. They have the a lot of fresh water fish selections, I'd advise people looking for salt water, swimming friends ...to go else where.

I typically go to PetSmart or Pet Supplies Plus to get crickets for my two crested geckos, but they…read moredidn't have the appropriate size there so I decided to go to Simply Pets for the first time. HUGE MISTAKE! Within days of purchasing crickets from this place, both of my crested geckos are dead. They lived in separate terrariums next to each other, and were very different ages (9 y/o and around 1 y/o). All conditions were EXACTLY the same besides where I purchased the crickets from, and within 3-4 days, both of my healthy geckos were dead! Following this incident, my mother and I called the store and the initial woman who picked up directed me to the owner, Jeff, who immediately gave extreme attitude and disregarded our concerns. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy insects for their beloved reptiles from this establishment. With heavy hearts, RIP Shawn and Shawna. P.S. that tank is NOT big enough for that alligator snapping turtle. No wonder the damn thing doesn't move, IT CAN'T!

I should have listened to the reviews and looked for another store…read more I have been looking for a parrot to bring into the family for a while. I've done plenty of research online, but this was my first time going to look at birds in person. Seeing this was a family run business, I decided to bring my business here rather than a big box store. Big mistake. Almost everyone working seemed to be stuck up teenagers and young adults. My family was in the store for about 30 min and not a single employee offered any assistance. Not even a simple hello. The bird section was absolute chaos. There's TONS of birds jammed into a small corner of the store which seems to be, by far, their most popular animal. The aisles are cramped and it's hard to hear anything with all the birds chirping away. There were 2 employees feeding/ tending to birds. They were pretty much ignoring everyone. I tried to ask a few questions about different species, yet I felt like an annoyance to them.. then I simply got told, if you're new to birds, just get a cockatiel. The guy wouldn't really give any information on any of the other species. I'm trying to make sure I have everything I need in my home before buying a bird, but it seems like they'd rather you just pay $$ now and quit bothering them. There's a bunch of signs up saying NO PICTURES everywhere. It felt like a prison with the wide variety of threatening signs all over the place. I did notice the cages seemed very over priced. An A&E cage I saw on Chewy for $300 was marked up to like $700 in there. The cockatiels were a couple hundred dollars more than Pet Smart. I wanted to avoid going to somewhere like Pet Smart or Petco to get a pet bird, but after this experience, I'll just take my business there. At least they have employees that seem like they care about helping customers. It's a shame to see a local business that can't provide better service than corporate big box stores. If it wasn't for your exorbitant prices, I suspect you'd be out of business by now.

They always have everything I'm looking for in stock their website is always up-to-date with what they have as far as quantity wise. Their website is very user-friendly it should say their app is very user friendly. The staff that work there are always very pleasant and always willing to help you. They have the best dog beds and clothes I can never walk out of there if I decide to go in the store to get what I intend I get more than I want or need. That is typically why I like to do curbside pick up and illuminates me from impulse buying. I'm sorry I typically do not take photos when I do online shopping or when I do order pick up there's not really anything to take a photo of. Highly recommend shopping here highly recommend doing curbside pick up

If a customer has a profile for themselves and the pet it should be exceedingly clear what services are expected and what discounts are normally applied. When the Doodles were picked up the groomers were very rude and would not apply our Military discount. My husband was addressed in a very unprofessional manner. They will not groom as requested and everyone there appears to be stressed and unhappy. They just lost a customer. I would not in good conscience recommend them to anyone.

We headed there later that week to go shop for my birthday and Mother's Day gift. This is the place to go for all things birds and bird watching! When we arrived parking was perfect. Birds were already out there flapping around and tweeting away. When I walked in I went walking around. Then Neala came and helped me. She was so nice. She helped explain the feeders and feed. Michelle was also great. She helped explain the pole system and what certain birds are attracted too. Everyone was extremely helpful! They were all willing to help, even carrying stuff to our car. Pricing was actually pretty reasonable. The seed is as well. I did join their program for $25 but, there was a free gift which I opted for bird seed. I also joined their texting services and got a free 2 pound bag. At the checkout I pretty much almost cried because having all this made me so happy. I sit outside so much and enjoy my bird feeder set up. I have a cardinal who was coming by before my big set up. I took it as a sign that it is my father who passed away 10 months ago. Once I got the set up complete with a bird house that has a blue roof (blue was my dad's favorite color), the cardinal came around so much more. We named it Pappy after my dad. It nice to sit in the backyard. Thank you to everyone who helped us. Since the first time I went, I have already been back once. I'm hooked!
