Customer service is amazing everybody so willing to help you
⭐☆☆☆☆ I visited Elliott’s Pet Store looking for treats for my dog, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The staff was not helpful at all, and I felt like I was left to figure things out on my own. On top of that, the store was not clean, which made the shopping experience even worse. I expected better customer service and a cleaner environment. I won’t be returning.
Bought a bunch of Tetras this time. Less aggressive fish compared to Betta. The employee was patient and helpful. They also had the supplies to clean and make my aquarium fresh. Thanks
Got a Syrian Hamster today, I was helped out by a young a couple young men. One at the register and one on the floor. The young man named Jaime I believe helped me find a calm docile hamster that was easy to handle. My daughter loved her new pet. He also suggested that I get an alternative for food at a better price per pound.. the customer service at this place was exceptional. Would recommend!
Me and my 7 year old have been coming here weekly for 4 years. Always great customer service. Also when we buy crickets or anything I let him purchase the items in line. Today there was employees at the resgisters and a young man said do you need
I love this place but the lady with the purple hair and glasses ruined my last experience. Rude, and unprofessional
Good place and good service 👍
Oh my goodness, Miles went above and beyond in helping me find exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Miles
