I used to love this place a lot more, but maybe that's because my father was the owner. I might have some bias'. That being said, I still greatly enjoy visiting. This store has a very special place in my heart.
Great place. Leashed pets allowed to come in too, but heads up that there are cats (and sometimes dogs too) that belong to the store owner/personnel that roam loose in the store on a regular basis that are very friendly so if ur bringing your dog in make sure they are cat/other dog friendly!! My kids love going here just to look around for an hour or two and check out the huge variety of animals. Almost like a small scale zoo but with no entry fee!! Lol
They have a wonderful selection of products and animals. Reptiles, rodents, fish, exotic animals, they have it all! If they don't, just ask! I'm sure these people would be more than willing to look into finding whatever you desire.
When you first walk in, you may feel as though it is a bit overcrowded, and trust me that’s a good thing! They’ve packed tons of supplies, products, reptiles, small animals and fish into one little area that it’s almost overwhelming and I want to buy everything in sight. But I resist...my passion is fish, and they have a nice aquatics section for sure. The employees are helpful and friendly. Gabe is a cool dude, he’ll steer you in the right direction. You can special order fish as well, which I like. You’re going to get more definitive, and educated answers here than you will at a big box pet store. The prices aren’t too bad, somewhat high on certain things but I suppose if you don’t like it, buy those items elsewhere. They have a mini koi pond, the best selection of goldfish that I’ve seen around, and they even sell used aquaria gear and are willing to negotiate on their as-is prices! I live over an hour away, but every time they’re worth the trip. Definitely worth checking out for sure

This is a great pet store. My wife prefers this store for her aquarium items because the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The products they sell are of good quality and the live animals they sell are healthy and seem well taken care of.
The current owners are business people, for sure. They are always looking to sell, sell, sell! LOL very persuasive, and I'm so easily persuaded! However, they are very friendly and kind hearted. They are good people, and they hold good conversations.
My gf and I purchased a bird from them, and not only did we get a great deal, the owner even offered (and did) drive it all they way up to our home, about 25-30 minutes away. I don't think the live in state, either. So, I think it was completely out of their way.
Extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of animals, reptiles and amphibians. I went to 3 pet stores looking for a treatment the vet recommended and the big box stores didn't have it. As soon as I walked in and asked an associate, they walked me over to exactly what I needed. Even better, when I was checking out the cashier even let me know that they board birds, reptiles, all smaller pets! They are also owned and operated by a local Vermonter! I'm going here for all pet items in the future!
One really great part of visiting the store, they have a store cat!
