What People Think
"You can buy dog food and cat food cheaper on the petco site than here lol"
"Same day service, good price and the staff was very professional."
We absolutely love coming here for the self-wash station! The stations are always very clean (they clean between each use), and they even recently started providing disposable ponchos for owners.
I’m leaving 4 stars as a heads-up to other pet owners: after our last visit, our dog developed a skin rash called post-grooming furunculosis. Our vet explained this can sometimes be caused by using diluted shampoo, as bacteria can easily grow in those mixtures. We still love this place and will continue to visit, but I’d highly recommend that fellow owners just bring their own shampoo from home to be extra safe!
Overall, this is our fave pet supply store to shop at - toys and treats are always reasonably and competitively priced!

The fish department is incredible. Lots of different fish, well taken care of and the employees are very knowledgeable. We’ve been going here for many years and always have had great experiences.

Be advised when using their self bathing services they provide. I was bathing my dog in the one tub and Nextdoor to me was another dog. Both my dog and their dog got done at the same time. The bathing stations are to close in proximity allowing foreseeable risk to happen Which unfortunately happened to my dog. Once the other dog seen my dog In the bath station it wanted to greet her And already came in a fast speed towards her. It approached my dog in our bath station And seemed friendly at first, but then as soon as The leashes got tangled the other dog just attacked my dog without warning leaving her with some pretty hefty injuries and a trip to the animal hospital (not cheap). Mind you both dogs were on leashes but the incident still occurred. Just take it into consideration that they allow dogs into this area of any breed and some owners aren’t aware or simply don’t care if their dogs have a mean streak or because of getting a bath in a public setting it can cause a dog to get anxious, overstimulated, stressed and be reactive. Due to the close proximity, it is a possible risk that you can run in to that type of situation like I did. I never once thought that it would be a dangerous place until my dog was attacked. There is also no one supervising or controlling/managing the environment/station To help prevent encounters like this. Not one employee there even checked in on me and my dog because there was no one around, if there was some employee nearby they didn’t make any effort to report it or even check on us. I had to report the incident while waiting in an animal hospital ER and bring it to the owners attention so she could watch the video surveillance they had of the attack. The owner did try helping Me identify the owner of the dog But ultimately was unable to get any information to identify them Which meant I had to pay for all the vet bill expenses. My dog Had to get five staples on her head and had other trauma. If you do go in there with your dog then you enter at your own risk because monster pets is not liable from what I got from the owner. I just want to warn other people about this so that way you can keep your fur babies safe and although the bath service is cheap and seems convenient to use just keep in mind the risks that come with it because there may be a possibility of a dog on dog attack and having to spend the day at the ER worried sick is not cheap nor convenient. This is my sweet girl Sophie who got attacked and is still recovering. Please stay safe.

Prices are a bit high, but they have an amazing selection of aquatic life and out if the ordinary pets. Monster Pets is my kids favorite place to go when we have no where to go lol. Free Field Trip! But seriously, they have what you need.

Monster Pets has everything you can imagine for pets. They have a wide range of fishes that other stores don't have and priced pretty decent (depending on what type of fish you want, that is). I usually tell myself when entering that I'm not getting any fish today but always end up leaving with something. The tanks are always stocked. Check it out. You might find something you like!!! I got this nice size flowerhorn from Chris.
