I cannot say enough great things about Hometown Pet Shop and their incredible grooming services! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth and kindness that truly sets this pet shop apart from others. The owners, Lori and Stephen are absolutely amazing—compassionate, caring, and deeply dedicated to making sure every pet (and pet parent) feels valued and appreciated.The groomers are nothing short of extraordinary. They handle every animal with such gentleness and professionalism, ensuring that even the most nervous pets feel comfortable and safe. It’s clear they genuinely love what they do, and it shines through in the impeccable grooming results. My toy poodles always comes home looking and feeling fantastic, and I can tell they’ve been treated with so much love.This isn’t just a pet store; it’s a community hub where you and your furry friends are treated like family. Whether you need top-notch grooming, high-quality products, or expert advice, this place has it all. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants the very best for their pets. A true gem!
Hometown Pet Shop is a wonderful gem - I drive out of my way to visit this shop, even though there are other pet supply stores closer to my home. I can’t say enough good things about it - the selection of dog food and treats at Hometown is carefully curated and of high quality. The owner, Lori, really cares about what she sells and equally cares about her customers and their fur babies; she will also do her best to special order things if you need something specific. It’s always a pleasant experience to shop in there, and dealing with someone who values you and really wants to know about you and your pet’s needs is so refreshing. I am just so glad that I found Hometown Pet Shop!
I love this store! The owners and employees are so nice. They carry high quality items that are beneficial to pets. Bridgette, has been grooming my dogs for a long time. She is so sweet and a great Groomer. As a dog owner who searches for only the best for my pups, I highly recommend them.
The best! I only trust them for all of our grooming and pet food needs! I know my pup is in loving hands and safe at hometown! Laurie will answer any questions I have and Bridgette is the best groomer!! Love them!
We love hometown pet shop. We use it for grooming, holiday photos, dog food/treats/toys, rabbit food/treats/toys, and if you want to order anything the owner is wonderful about looking to special order it for you and keeping it in stock. Every time I go it is a true customer first feel. Support your local pet store!
Laurie and Bridgette have been so helpful since they opened the doors. They always treat us and our dog wonderfully. We recommend them to all our pet owning friends and neighbors. -Matt N. Wading River
This was our first experience with Hometown Pet . Adi a 26 week old bernadoodle had an amazing experience with Leslie, her groomer. Leslie did exactly what I request and Adi looked gorgeous when all was done. I would recommend Hometown Pet to anyone who is looking for an excellent groomer. Adi 13 pounds was done within 1.5 hours and she was happy!!! We got a report card and treats when we left. Thank you Hometown Pet for the amazing experience. Looking forward to a long lasting relationship
I love this store. The owners are so sweet and helpful, every trip to the store is a pleasure. They have so many choices of quality treats, food, toys and more for your pets, including horses. Their prices are very reasonable. I first started taking my puppy there for holiday photos with Kaitlynn Donnelly who is an incredibly talented photographer. Today I took my puppy for the puppy package grooming. My puppy came out so adorable with a Valentines day bow. She was completely happy, she loves it there. The groomer did such a wonderful job, I already booked her next puppy day. Previously I took her to a major chain for a bath , just a bath . She came out very stressed and upset and I paid more than double what Hometown charged me for the full package.
As a relatively new customer that has spent close to $400 at this store in just a months time, I have to say I was genuinely shocked at the owners attitude and behavior towards me when I returned two dog coats that did not fit my dogs. If you want something returned in pristine condition, you should sell it that way. The coats are not in sealed packages, but rather hanging open on the wall display near the door. I returned the coats in the same condition that they were purchased. To get nasty with me, refuse to take them back and then and refuse to sell me another $120 worth of products that I drove out of my way to buy at considerably higher prices than elsewhere is, frankly, not nice! Customers should be treated with respect and I received the complete opposite. I should not have to negotiate in order to make a purchase or to return items that, again, were in the same condition that I bought them in.My mom always said when a company acts like they dont need their customers, they may as well close their doors!
I love this locally owned pet store. I buy all my pup’s food here and get him groomed here. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!!
I cant say enough amazing things about this shop. The pet store is wonderful with high quality products. The owner Lori is just delightful, she was accommodating with appointments, generous and knowledgeable with products and most of all truly concerned with your animals health and wellbeing. Bridgette is literally a goddess! My Bernedoodle is not the biggest fan of getting groomed and I have tried many places. This is the first place that she was happy when she was with Bridgette, she looks amazing, the best haircut she has ever received. Well priced and the place is immaculate. My Goldendoodle Parker and Bernedoodle Penny now have a new groomer and I could not be happier.
Happy Thanksgiving! This review is long overdue. I am forever grateful for Hometown Pet Shop. The moment you walk in the door you know Lori and her team created a place where our fuzzy ones and their humans are top priority. There is a wonderful variety of treats toys food and clothing (including larger sizes like my boy) Lori is so helpful and spot on with her suggestions. They also care for the community too. You know that you will be taken cared of. Bridgette is an extremely talented, super sweet and collaborative groomer. My 13 year old Labradoodle Jack adores her. Bridgette goes out of her way to find the right treatment for Jacks itchy skin. She has helped him so much. You will not find this extra level of care and knowledge anywhere else. We are so lucky to have found this beautiful shop. Thank you Lori. Hometown Pet Shop is family.
Laurie and Brigitte are two very special people! This is a great pet store! Super clean and always welcoming. Laurie always has helpful ideas for products whether it is for my Labradors or the little bichon. Brigitte is honestly the most amazing groomer. Patient and meticulous with her care for our dogs. The pups love her and so do I. I would give 10 stars if it was an option.
Best pet shop in the area! Great selection of food, treats, toys and accessories. Owner and staff are helpful and knowledgeable. Bridgette does an excellent groom on our mini Goldendoodle.
The BEST pet shop!!! Nicest, most knowledgable helpful owners and staff. The store is always clean bright, well-stocked and welcoming. The pet grooming is wonderful, your fur babies will be safe and well taken care of! Proud to have such an awesome local business in town.
Customers get a true hometown feeling as they enter the pet shop. Lori was happy to help me today when I chose food for my 17 year old cat, offering details about the nutritional benefits of my choice. Gleaming clean floors and display units greet each customer. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional employee. Hand sanitizer available to customers. Employee wearing a mask 12/07/20.
My pup is 12 weeks and this was his first ever grooming, so you can understand my anxiety. Brigette did an amazing job with my 5lb Maltipoo! She was caring and professional. Highly recommended! Thank you Hometown Groomers 💖
Awful. FYI if you drop your dog off here for grooming your dog will be left alone to bark desperately for HOURS. I’m a longtime customer at the nail salon next door and the barking dogs ruin the experience. I was there from 9:44-11:25 and a dog barked without a single break the entire time, making it impossible for me to enjoy my service I paid a lot of money for.It’s totally avoidable because the previous owner of this pet shop had grooming for years and you could never hear the dogs bark for more than a minute or two.It’s a shame how downright rude the new owners are!I’m probably going to find a different nail salon after 17 years because they got cursed with loud, lousy neighbors.I’ll never buy a thing from this store or recommend them because they don’t care about anyone but themselves!
Went in to check out the new store and wow, service was excellent. Store is gorgeous and the owners are extremely helpful and friendly and their prices are great! I purchased a Multipet feather catnip toy and the Fruitables Wildly Natural cat treats and my cat is OBSESSED!
Hometown Pet Shop always does a great job grooming my dog. Its a warm and friendly place.
Best full service pet store and groomer ever. Dont waste your time or money anywhere else.
This place is great! Friendly staff, incredible selection of Stella and Chewy frozen, freeze dried and kibble, and competitive prices. Will definitely be back.
Quality pet food, great customer service, and awesome grooming. I highly recommend Hometown Pet Shop!
This place is great! Super friendly and informative staff. The food they sell is healthy. You cant go wrong with anything in the shop. Clean, bright, and well organized.
Very well versed in foods for animals.
Love this place! They literally have everything you could need, they even sell dog CBD here. The prices are great and the staff is super friendly.
Always friendly and helpful staff, with a good selection of pet supplies for all types of pets!
Hometown Pet Shop is a great place. The owner is very friendly, knowledgable, and helpful!
Friendly, helpful, courteous and great selection of food and supplies.
What a great place. They always have such great stuff for our Maisy.
Omg Bridgette is phenomenal, the best groomer we have ever had! So lucky to have her. She does our Golden Doodle Piper and our difficult 16 y/o shitzu and takes her time with giving her breaks because she’s an old lady. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Stopped in to make a grooming appointment for my Sheppard and they were fully booked till May, laurie put me on the cancellation list and said if something opens she will call me.A week later she had an opening and got my Sheppard in, my dog absolutely loved them and they did a wonderful job with her. They even walked her out to me knowing I had small children with me. I couldn’t be more pleased.
Visited this new store, very clean and homie place. The staff was very kind and helpful. Would definitely recommended!!
Small but very nice local pet store. The salesperson was helpful as soon as we came in. Not a huge variety but they had exactly the dog food we needed and there was a nice selection of toys and treats.
Knowledgeable staff with lots of selection. As a first time dog owner, they took the time to teach me all there is to know to make sure my new puppy will be happy and healthy!
Always find what I want...very friendly staff
Great selection and totally helpful!
Great place, with a very helpful owner!
Wonderful and caring pet shop
Whenever I come back to Wading River to visit, this is the only place I go for my pet needs. Quality products and an excellent staff who are very knowledgeable. I have a dog who is on a special diet and they are always so helpful in answering my questions. The grooming here is also top notch. I love supporting small business and this is hands-down one of my favorites.
