Testimonials
Just went to grab a bag of cat food. I had my pup with me. We encountered several pee puddles (5 at minimum and we only went down a couple aisles), some already dried, starting with one right in the entrance and one right in front of the only register.
Trying to keep my pup (and myself) from stepping in it while juggling a large bag and attempting to step over it to pay was an effort.
Not a clean store at all. I’ll probably choose another location next time.

We take our dog there to get a nail trim and glands secreted. They always do a very good nail trim and are very nice!
