Friendly Fins Pet Shop

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I have been a customer of Friendly Fins for years and I think Cheri has been doing a wonderful job. I have gotten two puppies from her and they were both healthy and beautiful. She is very caring and knowledgeable. She does a great job grooming also. Every time I have been in the store it has been very clean and I haven't seen any sick animals.

When I moved to Bemidji one of the first things I did was locate a pet shop to buy food and supplies for my pet. I visited all of the pet shops in Bemidji and loved Friendly Fins the best. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the other store I went to they were very snooty. The shop is clean, neat, and smells great! I have never seen a sick animal there.

As a former employee of the Pet store for quite a few years after Cheri bought it. I would like to say last time I was in the store which was just a month ago. The store was as always a very clean store to say that we don't care about the health of the animals is a down right lie I can remember a time where puppies got sick with Parvo which is very hard to detect in fact the puppy that brought it in had been cleared by the in house vet at the time as healthy. Cheri and her employees did everything they could to save the animals that were sick and keep the healthy ones healthy. many times sick animals or rescues have gone to employee homes to be cared for and nurtured back to health. Yes I will admit that sometimes the puppies or kittens can get a little crowded but the only reason it ever gets that way is if they breed of dog sells very well which means one maybe two days of a little crowding. HOWEVER the dogs are taken out at least to the main store area or outside weather permitting on a regular basis to play with employees and customers no matter how many or how few dogs there are. The store also has a new more spacious layout then it did when I seen it last year and while I can't confirm it I do believe at least one of the bad reviews on line at insider pages was from a former employee that was let go for very good reasons so my recommendation is to check the store for your self and while your there remember that this store last I checked is associated with the whipstaff ranch which an animal rescue service!!!!!! How bad can the place be? PS. The store has only moved once since Cheri bought it and it was to a nicer location with better customer access to allow animals to sell better and faster so that they don't have to live their life in a pet store instead of a nice home.
