Critter Cove LLC

This store is clean, well stocked, and obviously run with passion. When talking to the woman responsible for this great shop, she said something that really stood out to me. She wants to run an ethical pet store. Her focus is on proper husbandry from enclosures to nutrition. Even though Critter Cove is over 4 hours away, I truly look forward to the next time I'm able to stop in.

This place is incredible. The animals are truly healthy and cared for and the selection of supplies are diverse and quality. What sets this store apart is the customer service. Skylar is a wealth of knowledge. You can sense her vast knowledge, passion, and love for these animals. My young daughter and I learned so much, and were excited about this new hobby we are starting together. Kara and (forgive me, I forget the man whose passion is the fish) were very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable as well. We laughed and learned and the experience was unmatched by any other local pet store in our area. Our new leopard gecko is beautiful, and very sweet. You can tell she has been loved by Critter Cove and didn’t seem stressed or aggressive in anyway. We are looking forward to coming back. Thank you

This store is amazing. First visit was yesterday and I love it. The selection is unbeatable. The staff were super helpful. I have a smaller tank and was going to add a few more fish. The lady there gave me great advice on what to hold off on for my next tank and a few things I could add into the one I have now for clean up. I could have spent another hour or more in there checking out the selection. (For others not in Harrisonburg, they are so worth the drive to them!!!) I will be back!

The reviews were accurate. We stopped by this little gem on the way home from a trip. They have fish that I am not able to find where we live (shrimp, loaches, unique plants, and even the long finned tetras, panda corys) Everyone made the trip home safely and even after a water change and some plant re-arrangements are still thriving. I felt like I spent less money and got more fish than usual for the price compared to where I live. I wish they were closer. They were also very helpful on educating regarding environments and best types of food. I had no idea freeze dried food can expand in the fish's stomachs and got some frozen food which everyone is loving in the tank. They also had some cool lizards and store parrot. Great spot. I hope they are very successful, the pets all looked very h

Best pet store in the region!! The staff is great, I believe the person there was named Skyler when I was shopping. They were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly even offered to help me carry my things and open my car door for me when my hands were full. This store clearly cares deeply about every animal they have there and there’s an awesome selection of anything you could need for your little reptile/amphibian/fish friends!!! I will be returning soon and often, and I’m very happy to get to spend my money at a local store that genuinely cares for their animals and wants to help people care for their own animals too. I’d give 10 stars if I could :)
