Great store. Great Staff. Expect the unexpected. They had newly born baby fish the last time I visited. Mike and Kathy are awesome. So knowledgeable and helpful. First place to visit for pet supplies and freshwater fish.

I like the honesty and the prices of the people in the stores they were up front they didn't tell you no lies that's what I like about honest people that own the stores

Very caring older couple run this personally tailored pet shop. They are sadly retiring soon and seeking the place but it's been a great addition to those people who love their pets.

The attendant is very knowledgeable about the right things you would need to start a fish tank for the very first time. It's been a month now and my fish are doing just fine.Thanks to Mr. Critters

This is a detailed two part review. First off, the business has a large For Sale sign in its front. Which explains a lot. Also, having got back into the hobby in 2020 I proceeded to make every effort to buy everything from them. It worked about 50% of the time. Otherwise, I had to travel to KC or order off Amazon. He had an extremely hard time getting various aquatic supplies because his supplier didn't have them in stock. As of summer of 2022 the shop mainly cators towards birds & and reptile care. The freshwater fish selection was solid but his aquatic supply selection was lacking in many areas. His main local competition is heavy into saltwater and basically controls that market up to North KC and to Iowa/Neb. It always baffled me why he made no effort to compete against her. Marine Aquariums are a key part to a successful all around Pet Store. There is potentially thousands that can be made in that area. I just recently made a $1,200 one hundred and twenty five gallon custom tank order(Planet Aquariums) from who I consider a top three shop within 100 miles(Petopia). Now to the second part and why I do not shop there. He insisted on letting a personal disagreement over the Ukrainian/Russian war end our friendship. He knew I was strongly pro Russian and he trolled almost every war FB post I made. I did the same thing to him but he took offense. What spiraled the situation out of control was him not just unfriending me but BLOCKING ME. We had a 30+ year friendship. I had other people look at his profile and he was making subliminal insulting remarks towards me and other people. Let alone absolutely offending anyone associated with or supports Russia in this epic war. That was the straw that broke the camels back. I take offense to people plastering the Ukrainian Flag on all their social media within the last year. Without mentioning the name Ukraine over the 30+ years I knew them. I've studied Russia and Putin for over ten years and I consider myself an expert on the geopolitical crisis that triggered the war.

The weird hours make it difficult for new customers like myself. They are cheaper than the big pet supply stores.

Here, you can receive reliable information from an experienced couple who own the store together. They certainly care for the animals and provide many unique choices. They have a high regard for animal lives and wish to bring the very best pet from them to you.

Such friendly people, not many animals, but they're pretty reasonable priced.

I don’t know very much about fish and me and my boyfriend decided to set up a tank and get some. I assumed going to the pet store and asking some questions would help me figure out which fish I wanted and how to care for them. I really like the male guppy’s so I got 2 of those & a red male betta and asked the lady if they would all be okay together. She told me it’d be fine (yes, I should’ve done a google search) so I bought them all and took them home. Immediately I noticed the guppies were scared to swim on the bottom, the more I watched I noticed the beta quickly swimming towards one every few minutes and scaring the little guppy’s because they’d quickly swim away and hide in a corner. I googled if male beta fish and male guppies aren’t getting along what would best resolve the issues. Google immediately told me male betas and male guppies don’t belong together. The beta would kill my guppies. I’m very disappointed in this pet store, I figured it’d probably be a little cheaper and easier than running around petco searching for an employee but I’m almost sure petco would’ve honestly told me those fish don’t belong together rather than wanting to sell a fish (that I honestly felt bad for, poor beta had straggly thin fins and was barely moving when I picked him out) . I have given the beta away and honestly just want back the $5 I spent on a beta (especially when i’m sure petcos betas are actually cheaper and MUCH better condition) the lady there knew would the beta kill/injure my other fish (and if she didn’t she shouldn’t have been there alone running the store). I wouldn’t recommend going here unless you’re sure what you need & maybe check prices somewhere else. In the last picture you can see the beta ready to scare one of the guppies.

The last mom and pop full line Pet Store left in the area. The owners are extremely knowledgeable and caring about your needs. Very easy location to find and cators more towards the first time bird/freshwater fish owner. Excellent source for reptile food too.
