I absolutely love, love, love Abrams and Weakley for healthy lifestyles for our fur babies! The staff is truly amazing and cares very much about their customers (humans too)! My Bernie is allergic to earth but, Becky helped me on several occasions to choose the right food for him and my Buster. They are also spoiled by the treats they look forward to daily! It is extra special that they have a fenced in yard for them to have play time with each other. And the extra special perk for momma is that they have free delivery if I need them!!!! Thank you!!!!

SERENDIPITY said all creatures whove been lucky enough to visit this store. Theres something unique, tasty, or completely unexpected around every corner for our furry friends, and a few for us humans too! I could have spent an hour just gazing at the goodies for our pets and the local wildlife. Helpful staff and a super friendly and knowledgeable owner who was onsite when we visited. Outside theres a fenced-in area dedicated to dog training, and it looks like a few quaint little apartments on the side. Still, parking was a breeze.
Im sure its not easy competing with the big box

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Abrams and Weakley is wonderful! They're so kind and help us make the best choices for our dog. The prices are great and the options are outstanding. It meets all of our needs from dog food, to treats, to toys, to bags & wipes, to bones and even gifts for all of our other furry friends!
