Phydeaux is one of the best pet stores I have ever been to...if not the best one. They only stock premium foods, and by premium I don't mean Eukanuba or Science Diet. They have California Natural, Innova, Solid Gold, Canidae, etc. I have only seen such a wide assortment of high end foods from internet stores. They also have an abundance of high quality beds and dog coats. My dogs love that their frozen bones sourced from local farmers. The employees are friendly and helpful. Overall, two paws up!

I was looking for a store in the area that sold raw pet food. I found Phydeaux listed as a distributor so I sent an email to the store asking them about it. To my surprise, the owner wrote me back a long, and helpful, email. Even though it is a bit of a drive for me from Durham, I trekked out there on a Sunday afternoon (yes they have Sunday hours). When I got there, the staff was very friendly and mostly helpful (nobody told me that cats being switched to a raw diet have trouble digesting lamb, as a result I have a huge bag of lamb that my cats get violently ill from). I spent about an hour in the store deciding. I would recommend doing a little research before you go, especially if you want to switch your pet?s diet, because they have a LOT of different brands. The atmosphere was homey?there seemed to be many regulars, many customers were chatting with each other and the staff addressed them by name. I even had another customer come over and give me her view on the food I was looking at. I will return to this store?maybe not as often as if they were in Durham?but they are worth the drive. It is a cute store, with a huge selection (especially given the size of the store). Plus, you have to love their clever name.

Okay, so they care about pets and they do it in a classy way. They also care about charitable work--adoption for pets--they care about the pet population community. It is a boutique for pets--birds, cats, and dogs. They will order products for you and they are crazy about the good care of your pet. They give good advice, fair prices, and offer store events (book signings). It is a fun place to pamper your pet.

PROS: pets' dream
CONS: none
