I walked into this pet store the other day just looking for a new toy for my dog, and ended up spending way longer than planned. They have a pretty nice selection, not huge but enough that you can usually find what you need. The staff was helpful when I asked about healthier treat options, and they pointed me toward a couple brands I hadn’t tried before. Prices seemed normal, maybe a bit higher on a few items but nothing crazy. The place was clean and didn’t have that strong pet-smell some stores get. Overall, it was a good visit and I’d go back if I’m in the area again.

I am so lucky to have such a great neighborhood pet store just a few steps from my home. Everyone is greeted with a friendly hello as soon as ya walk through the doors and in my case, that says a lot because I’m usually the guy who comes in about 2 min prior to closing 😬
Anytime I have questions, they’ve got answers although I typically know exactly what I want and try to zip in and zip out!

I always come to this particular Unleashed because they usually have exactly what I need, and if it isn't obvious, they go and check for it for me. They have things I cannot get at my local grocery store, like unscented cat litter, which I really appreciate.
