Testimonials

It was a very lovely store. I’m giving it 4 stars because no one could tell me the date the wax worms were shipped in. All the other Petcos’ in Asheville write the dates they get them on the containers.

Beautiful store and friendly people! They do cat grooming here. They even have one day a month just for cats in grooming. No dogs all day!

Amazing pet store in North Asheville! Great selection of all your pet needs. The store is very clean. Fur ever friends has cats for adoption in the front, always a good stop for a cute surprise. Prices seem reasonable compared to other pet supplies stores. The staff has always been helpful and nice as well! There is also a pet salob on site. They have earned a loyal customer and cat daddy!
