This store is amazing! They have everything you could ever need for your pet. From dogs to cats to small animals like birds and reptiles, they have it! I noticed their selection is a lot better than retail pet stores, they have healthier food and name brand as well. They have beds, litter, toys, pet care, and so much more. The staff are super friendly and outgoing, definitely a cheery vibe all around! Even though their prices are a bit more expensive than retail pet stores, I will still choose to buy from here because I know they are a local business! Shop local yall!!

I love A.W. Browns. About a week ago my daughter lost her beloved hampster Patricia. She was the best little hampster. So gentle, sat and let my daughter hold her while reading, watching tv, etc. My daughter would put little hats on her and put her on little furniture, and the hampster loved it. (Patricia was also purchased at Browns.) I called the store around 9:15 in the morning, looking to see if they had any hampsters in stock. My daughter had recently lost hers, and was ready for a new one. I didn't want to bring her if there were none to pick from. The woman on the phone was so kind and knowledgeable. She was not hurried at all, and took her time telling me about the selection of hampsters they had at the moment. I left the conversation smiling and excited to bring my daughter in. That afternoon, I showed up with my daughter and we headed straight to the hampsters. Almost immediately we were greeted and asked if we needed some help. I said we were looking for a hampster. She asked me if I had called earlier. (Keep in mind this was 7 hours later.) I said I had, and the woman informed me that they were expecting me. She had been told about my earlier phone call and she would be right back, because another woman was somewhere in the back and she had also been brought into the conversation after my am call, and she felt they had the perfect hampster for us. I already could not believe the service. The chain of workers who had discussed my phone call this morning, and were ready to help me seemed to be endless. We were showed a hampster while we waited and were told it was a "boy." Immediately I saw my daughters face and knew it had to be a girl. We were then shown the most perfect hampster, the one that they had said would be just right for us. Before, anything was said, I looked at the employee, and whispered "it's a girl." She then said "It's a girl, " and my daughters face lit up. She let my daughter pet and hold the hampster (Now named Bella.) It was love at first sight for my daughter. Bella was boxed up and handed to my smiling daughter. We were shown the food that was currently the diet Bella was on. The employee wished my daughter well and then whispered, " Mom, just so you know, it really is a girl." I couldn't help but smile. At the register the employee there was also all smiles. She interacted with my 8 year old daughter and listened to her talk about her last hampster. She asked her questions about the possibility of a name for this one, and the color of her cage. Of course it is pink. She wished my daughter luck and fun and we were on our way. My daughter smiled the entire way home and so did I.
The store is impeccably clean. All the staff are knowledgeable and super kind, and most of all the animals that they have are amazing. We have never seen a dirty cage, and every animal they have is handled so they will be the most friendly pet. There was even an employee walking around with a bird that was for sale. That is how well kept their animals are. Big pet chains just can not compare when it comes to the excellence that is A.W. Browns. I will always choose Browns.

I like this place. It feels local, and it feels like it is laid back and easygoing. If I think about it, I will gladly take a drive to get my dog food and bird seed. I am sure that the store offers so much more, and I am vowing to spend time in the store this year to explore the gardening side of the store. I think I read somewhere that it became employee owned recently, so I would love to support that. If you want a great atmosphere with great, helpful people, give it a shot.
