Amazing staff. All very nice and answered all my questions. I loved all the dogs but I had to see the dog named Kevin! I went in with a completely negative view on petlands but the staff really changed my mind by going over all the breeder info, If I am ever in need of a puppy I will go there and you should too.

We came at a time they were very busy and never once did we feel rushed, or given attitude while asking questions. The two on staff were amazing and sweet!

I went in to get my dogs nails trimmed and was met with a smile and warm greeting from an employee, Dean. The trimming was quick and they really showed my scared dog good care. It was the most pleasant experience I’ve had when it comes to some of these pet places!

We just went for a walk”puppy therapy.”
Look at how cute they are.
I was a little surprised that considering how few customers were in at the time & yet we only got a “let us know if we can help you with anything” and that was it.  There were plenty of employees in store, as it was probably the beginning of the Friday night shift, before families started coming in.
I had made an appointment, just in case we decided to see any of the dogs.
I guess I’m accustomed to the employees being more personal and wanting to tell me things based on the conversation my group is having without me having to reach out to them.
