Braxtons Animal Works

Have been a customer since the mid-90’s. The staff is friendly, calm and knowledgable. Braxton’s food and treat selection is the best I’ve ever seen, especially for grain– free brands (we use Wellness) and specialty rawhides-​our dogs prefer the twisty straw kind. Recently impressed with the way they handled my return of a dog toy that didn’t work as advertised. They helped me quickly and without complaint despite that I didn’t have a receipt. They helped me find my rewards card info in their computer which gives you discounts, and they also give out coupons on occasion — I recently knocked ten dollars off my purchase.

I have to drive a little far to go there but it’s so worth it for their selection. They seem to have everything that the big chain stores don’t have with some crossover. Some prices are higher, some are lower. If you don’t see it they will get it for you, and the staff is extremely helpful. They are just there to help, not push. Your pet is welcome too! I just love them!

Crazy awesome selection of non-​mainstream foods made with quality. I compared prices to Petsmart and Petco and even when the box stores have sales or coupons, Braxton’s is still cheaper. Very friendly staff. Only positive experiences.
Braxton’s offers a rewards program (once you spend a certain amount you get money off), which is a really nice touch! They also offer coupons fairly regularly, which really helps. We just end up buying more from them, so it’s a win-​win.

Very often the big chains have good selection (if you know what you want), reasonable staff, and reasonable prices. But for the last 14 years I’ve preferred Braxton’s. It’s a local, family-​owned business now run by third generation Braxtons and everything about it makes me come back month after month, year after year. They love the business, they love animals — and they’re really good people. Their selection reflects an unparalleled knowledge of the business. Their prices are fair and are sometimes lower than the big chains (that was a bit of a surprise). Their staff (warning — two of my children actually worked there during their high school years) really are special and will always take your stuff out to your car. Even the store itself — two stories of Amish-​built goodness — contribute to a really nice, comprehensive and unhurried experience. There’s a scale at the entrance so you can marvel at how much your «little» puppy now weighs (65 lbs last time we went in); there are water bowls just inside the door; and there are always smiles. Braxton’s really is a local landmark and institution. Can you tell we like it there?

I used to think that Braxton’s was more expensive than the other shops. Was I wrong. I was so surprised that some of the same things I get at Braxton’s are LESS EXPENSIVE than the cheaper pet stores.
Here’s what I also love — the employees always offer to bring the bags of food to my car.
Better prices and great assistance from Braxton’s knowledgeable employees. I’m now a customer for life.

Near my place! Clean and can find many healthy pet foods

Love this place! It’s family owned and all of the employees are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They have recommended some great products for us in the past and I trust them. For example, our pup was going through fetch toys extremely quick and we needed something he wouldn’t tear apart within a couple days. One of the employees recommended a frisbee that was tested on tigers! Needless to say, this frisbee is still in tact after 2 months! To make things even better, almost everything is cheaper than the chain stores! No need to go anywhere but Braxton’s now.

A great place to buy your pet supplies. Family-​owned and the staff always greets you and is very helpful. I wanted to mention that I have found numerous things in this store that are CHEAPER (that’s right, I said cheaper!) than the big box pet stores. The food is more expensive because it is much higher quality food than you find at the chain stores. In fact, some of the high-​quality food they sell at Braxton’s is cheaper (I said it again!) than the crap I’ve seen at Petco.
Highly recommended!

Courteous, helpful, friendly staff. I always special order my dog’s food from Braxton’s, and prefer to buy items from them than from a chain store. And don’t be fooled, their prices are the same or better than the chain pet supply stores. Hope they don’t find that out and change them!

I will never forget back in in 1990 when we got our first standard poodle and had no clue what to feed him, how to train him, how to groom him. And we walked into Braxton’s-which is near our home and Bill Braxton took us by the hand and gave us lessons.
You could see how much he loved animals and cared that his clients also learned to love them as well.
He even gave us lessons on how to groom our dogs with clippers.
And we have been doing it ever since.
We buy our food, snacks and toys there.
The staff is always helpful, polite and you can bring your dog in for treats.
I would highly recommend them

Yeah I’m a fan, but I expect to pay extra to be one.
Braxton’s is a great pet store. They have everything you’d want for Fluffy or Spot. The variety of pet foods and treats they offer is amazing-​with a heavy emphasis on premium, organic and the like.
The staff at Braxton’s are friendly and accommodating.
I like to support good Mom and Pop business and will pay a bit more to do so. If you feel the same-Braxton’s is a place you should visit again and again.

This animal supply shop is in a cool old barn that you enter through the back (don’t park in front where you first drive in). Good spot for finding healthier treats and chews for your dog (I don’t buy treats that were made in China if I can avoid it). My vet’s assistant referred me here for Bag Balm, which is for cows but has been doing wonders for my dog’s chronically dry nose. A good mix of mainstream and hard-​to-​find food, treats, toys, etc. We will be back when she needs a new crop of parts to gnaw on.

Best selection, caring staff.

What a variety of items they have to choose from!
For those of you who have dogs and/​or cats, this is THE place to shop for all your friend’s supplies and accessories. The staff is very knowledgeable and very helpful. They carry even the obscure brands of pet foods and accessories.
The only downside to this upscale pet supply store is that they are a little pricey. A little more than a regular store but very nice to go into.
And the best part is that you can take your dog or cat shopping with you.

The best pet supply store I know of. Apparently, Braxton’s is a family operation that has been around for decades. Not as big as PetSmart and Petco, but plenty big nonetheless. The service is great, like the selection of foods.
The main reason I go to Braxton’s is the selection of quality cat foods. You won’t have trouble finding a variety of high quality grain free foods, canned and dry. Some of these are really pricey and probably are consumed by the rich, spoiled mainline felines, but others are affordable. They also carry a good selection of ordinary, budget cat foods so it isn’t all about the fancy kitties.
Braxton’s stocks plenty of litters, toys, pans, and miscellaneous cat stuff as well.
