I brought my newly adopted, older dog, and the associates walked me through the store, helping me to find everything that I could possibly need for her (but they weren't pushy at all for me to spend more money). I'm pretty sure that between shopping, playing, and bathing we spent about 2 hours in the store. My pup and I enjoyed every minute of it! \n\nThey were exceptionally helpful and patient with me being a first-time dog owner, and I felt very well taken care of. They answered all of the nit-picky questions and concerns that I had about the different food and toys. My dog loved it, too; it was very much a candy store for her! We can't wait to go back for another bath and more toys. \n\nI have only ever been to big-box pet stores, and not only were they a little overwhelming for me, but I also felt that they are a little impersonal. The associates at Pet Essentials made me feel as if my dog and I were the only ones in the store! I honestly believe that they had her health and happiness at the top of their priorities."^^ .
