A lost tradition no thanks to the legions of foul smelling Wal-Mart's that co-opted the principles that were important between a customer and the shop keeper. The store is beautifully organized with a replete selection of gifts, bulk bird (and wildlife) feed and some amazing bird feeders that are manufactured in the U.S.A. I was truly touched by the insightful conversation that I had with one of the owners who shared with me an experience rarely had, and truly cherished, thus signifying the importance of supporting our local businesses and the families that run them. What I admire the most is that they support conservation (with real money rather than words) which is important to me.

I prefer to get my suet from Wild Birds Unlimited because the quality is good and I know I am not feeding the birds some hidden ingredients that might not be good for them.

Now that's the quickest turn around time ever!! And I live 15 miles from the store in Eugene! To all who love to feed the birds, I highly recommend ordering from them. If you live outside of the city call a few of your friends and neighbors and make a group order that will be delivered quickly! Thank you Dan and Barbara!!

I received helpful ideas and suggestions for solving some challenges with setting up feeders at my home. I did end up spending a lot on the equipment, and the seed is not cheap, but it's great quality feed that my bird customers love, so to me, it is well worth the somewhat higher price. They carry a very nice quality and assortment of feeder equipment. After some trial and error, I was able to get two feeders set up, and me, my family, guests and of course indoor cat are enjoying watching hummingbirds, finches and sparrows at the feeders. Staff have been helpful and friendly and if not too busy, will also give great insights and advice on the types of local birds and their habits. For example, I did not know that a hummingbird can live up to around 12 years! Or that they can be very territorial if they find a feeder that they like. Also, I did not know that you can order online and they will deliver? I only learned that by reading others' helpful reviews, so that might be something for staff to mention. It is a nice plus. Overall enjoy shopping here and appreciate their helping me get the bird-watching and feeding set up.

I worked many (many) years ago at a similar business, plus I frequent several LFS (local fish stores) in my area. Animal House is one of the more impressive stores I've ever visited.

This is my go to place for anything pet related. On occasion we have gone to PetCo, but there…read morereally isn't any comparison. PetSmart is the best pet store in Corvallis. Being that we come in about once a week and have adopted an animal here, you could say that we are regulars. Pet Supplies: We come here often for cat food, litter and lizard stuff. So I can only comment on those sections. We buy crickets and meal worms for our leopard gecko. The crickets are always healthy looking and fresh. The cricket keepers are clean. They always offer to put food in the bag for the crickets. A nice gesture and I usually take them up on the offer if I don't plan on going straight home with them. The meal worms are healthy and plump. They always have what I need in stock at a reasonable price and their selection is big. Their collars and toys seem a bit overpriced for what they are but generally we don't buy that stuff often and it's something that can wait until I get home to price shop online. Pet Adoption: We adopted a kitten here a few months back. They seemed to take their adoption process seriously, which I appreciated. The transaction was smooth and they were very accommodating. They helped us pick out what we needed and let us know the best food to get for his age. We took him home and he couldn't be more loved! He was relatively healthy but came with ear mites and fleas. A quick trip to the vet took care of the ear mites, but the fleas were more problematic. He originally came from an Oregon shelter and paperwork indicated that he transferred from another shelter in California. He was only in the store for 2 days before we spotted him and snatched him up! Given his short time at the store, the fact that he was only about 2 months old when we got him, it seemed understandable that he might have a few bugs from his various cage mates and being passed around from shelter to shelter. Customer Service: Every time I come in I am greeted by the cashier. There is usually at least one other employee besides the cashier that greets me or asks if I need help with anything. Every time. Employees' attitudes range from overly friendly to neutral. I've never experienced a rude or cranky/stressed employee. Helpfulness of the employees is above and beyond what one would expect. The employees seem to care about their jobs. I've never had to wait more than a minute for someone to assist me with getting meal worms from the back or to bag up crickets for me. I am often interrupting whatever thing they are doing at that moment (usually cleaning the fish tanks) and they never seem put out about having to stop their work to help me. Exceptional Customer Service Story: As I mentioned before, our newly adopted kitty came with fleas. A few months later and we are still battling them. He passed them on to our other cat and we were finding flea dirt in their bedding. They are both inside cats so we thought it would be relatively easy to get rid of them. We did everything short of medication. We combed them and vacuumed the house daily, gave them baths and washed their bedding weekly. It wasn't working. Finally we decided to bite the bullet and see what PetSmart had for flea medication. Megan (a manager) asked us if we needed help. She answered all of our questions and gave us a recommendation based on her own experience. We had a very thorough conversation about the proper way to bathe the cats and offered a suggestion that we had not heard before. At some point during the conversation we mentioned that we adopted our cat here and he actually came with the fleas we were dealing with. We weren't complaining. We just sort of casually mentioned it. She clearly felt bad about it. As a result, she went above and beyond to help us on the cost of the medication! I was floored by not only our sincere interaction with Megan but also her generosity. TLDR: Amazing customer service and a clean store that always has what you need in stock.

I've taken my small dog here multiple times before without major issues, but my most recent…read moreexperience was incredibly frustrating and will likely be my last visit. My dog is only about 5-6 pounds and very easy to groom. In the past, his wash and trim has taken about an hour. When I dropped him off this time, I was immediately told the price would be higher than usual because of trimming around his neck. That was surprising because I've had the same basic trim done there before without any additional charge. I explained that I only wanted a very small amount trimmed -- just his belly, around his butt, and a little on his neck. When asked if I wanted anything else trimmed (like his ears), I specifically said no. Two hours later I called to check on him since it normally takes about an hour. No one answered the phone. Since it was getting close to my son's bedtime, I drove over assuming they were finishing up. When I arrived, they told me they would need another two hours. That simply wasn't possible for me, so I asked to just take him home. They told me he had already been washed and was still in the back wet. They offered to quickly blow dry him and cut his nails and asked if I could bring him back another day to finish the trim. I agreed. While I was there, when I mentioned I had called earlier and no one answered, the employee's reaction made me feel like I had done something wrong just by checking on my dog. I returned on the scheduled day, dropped him off, drove home, and 25 minutes later they called to say he was finished. This was incredibly confusing considering the previous visit supposedly required several hours. I had literally just gotten home and had to work around my baby's nap schedule, so I told them I'd come back after my son woke up. When I picked up my dog, his haircut was much shorter than what I had asked for, including his ears, which I specifically said not to cut. The final frustration happened when I got him into my car. It was obvious they hadn't blown the loose hair off of him after grooming. My freshly cleaned car is now completely covered in short, freshly cut hair embedded in the carpet and seats, which is extremely difficult to remove. Between the inconsistent timing, poor communication, not following grooming instructions, and the condition my dog was returned in, the whole experience felt very unprofessional. Unfortunately I won't be returning.
