They don't know enough about the pets they sell to be able to house them safely. I say this as a rabbit owner. Bunnies were sick, appeared too young to be away from Mom, water placed where it was difficult for them to drink (end of the water bottles placed down into their bedding), they were out of hay. Furthermore the random hay that remained was the wrong kind for bunnies (will prevent their muscles and bones from forming properly because it lacks the nutrition they need) and they had no hay feeder, meaning they needed to eat from the same bedding they used to go to the bathroom in. Don't give this place your money.

So miss the management of Phydeaux. The service and knowledge under new management (as Feeders) are terrible. Wide selection... but PetCo also has a wide selection. I'm moving my business to Hollywood Feed (just down the road, near Whole Foods).

I bought a gold fish from this store and died within 48 hours. I’m absolutely devastated. And the staff told me to buy stuff for my fish that wasn’t actually necessary. I use to shop at Phydeaux before feeders and I’m devastated. I will not come back

Great service and amazing hair cut for my dog. Really impressed how smooth and clean her cut came out. We've tried a few places in the triangle but this has been our best experience so far will continue to go here.

Have shopped here for years but they're under new management now and have turned it into a smaller version of the big box chain stores. Mostly grocery store brands of food and treats and they've switched from paper bags to plastic. Very disappointing.

Have been shopping here faithfully for about 3 years now and always had great experiences shopping in store and online. I also appreciated that it was locally owned. Sadly, it was recently sold to a commercial company. Now the prices are much higher and the website for online shopping is glitchy and never has the items I need, despite them being in stock at the store. Makes sense to still stop by when in a pinch, but otherwise now more convenient, affordable to go to chewy or one of the other big companies.

Even though it is no longer locally owned, I feel the Phydeaux Chapel Hill location is a well run store with a great product selection.I have already bought several items here for my red miniature girl Dachshund, Basil. She loves her Squishmallows shark dog bed, in which I often see her snuggling, sometimes under her blanket. Basil also loves several of the toys I have bought her at Phydeaux (But, I have to be careful when buying her toys because her powerful jaws can tear apart ninety percent of dog toys within only a few minutes). Basil especially loves the cute iced dog cookies that are behind the glass case in store. I most recently bought her four of the several Halloween cookies on sale for the Halloween season. She loved every one of them! Each time I yelled, "Basil, here's one of your cookies," she very excitedly ran over to devour the cookie as fast as possible.One suggestion I would like to make to Phydeaux is to always have in stock several of the Wobble Wag Giggle balls. Basil has three of them, two for the outside and one for the inside. It is her favorite toy! She loves it so much she seems possessed by dog demons whenever she plays with it!

I don't understand what is going on with the rebrand to "feeders". The selection is NOT the same, I'm confused - several of the brands I counted on are now marked down in a separate section, are y'all discontinuing these items? I used to make regular trips to this location but now I do only when I'm already in the area. There are far fewer cat toys and raw snack options. Will this change once the rebrand is complete? "New name, same great selection" is misleading and feels like fraud the longer this takes.

A knowledgeable young woman was very kind and helpful choosing a dogwood. Phydeaux is a great place to shop for my dogs. Helen

This used to be my favorite pet store before it was bought out by feeders. Now they never have things in stock, the prices have skyrocketed, and I no longer see any familiar faces. The wet food I buy doubled in price. Find somewhere else to go.

So, so sad to write this, but I'm even more devastated that I can no longer find my kitty's favorite toys locally.I used to stop into Phydeaux at least once a week to buy my kitty's favorite toys, food, litter, and "splurge" on cat trees/scratchers. His absolute favorite toys are the "da bird" line and Phydeaux was one of the only places in the area that carried the individual attachments...Every since they were bought, they've been completely out of those toys -- I've asked and staff has told me that they'll be in stock soon, but it has been over two months now and I've stopped in every other week and each time they've been out and their entire cat toy selection gets smaller and smaller...I'm so sad -- I've been into the store at least 5 times now without finding any of the toys my kitty loves that were previously supplied locally by this store only. I think today was sadly my last trip in since the store has gone downhill :/ I loved supporting local and trying to reduce the amount of ~things~ in general that I buy online, but at this point the impact from me driving to the store to find none of the items that I've previously purchased here (despite being less than 5 minutes away) is a more significant environmental impact than just purchasing my kitty's things online...

Not a local owned store anymore. Sad. But I am glad that we still have Oliver’s Collar! Shop local, folks!

Agree with previous reviewer. It use to be my favorite pet store. After owner changed a lot of changes. Prices are too high now. It is time to shop online.
