On 11/17/2025 Carol Hogan had this to say:
The best pet store ever. Their prices are a little high but they work with you to get what you need. I was able to put a deposit on my baby and got my ferret fast and the albino male I wanted. I then needed a cage so they didn’t have what I needed so they figured out how to get me a cage and I will bring home a gently used ferret nation huge cage Wednesday. They are very kind people and will do anything they can to help you. Thank you for everything

I adore this store and all of the animals. The staff is terrific and helpful. Also, shout out to my girl, Michaela Seepe, for being the best groomer there is!

Young lady there seems to be pretty knowledgeable about the pets they have . She has helped me alot recently when we got our fish there.

On 10/20/2025 Philip Chrzanowski had this to say:
Ashlyn is the single most knowledgable individual on pet and pet care I have ever met. She has a true passion and love for animals and you can tell that her idea of fun is reading about the weird obscure facts on all the creatures that she has and hopes to have in her store one day. Her advice is invaluable and always accurate and well thought out, if you ever have a problem that needs solving there is an answer she can provide or sell you. If you care about you pets (and lets be honest we all do) you are in good hands when working with Bubbles. If they do not have something in stock they can order it for you with expertise that can only be had from years of passion and care for the store and those who come through its doors
