Critter Corner

Specialties

We carry a wide selection of supplies for all types of pets. In addition we have small mammals (guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rats, etc), reptiles and fresh water aquarium fish.

Our dog groomer of over 20 years will make your small or medium size dog look so good that you won’t recognize her.

Our specialty, though, is providing superior customer service, so that you leave with the knowledge and products you need. And you will spend less than at the big box stores.

History

Established in 1987.

We started in a small storefront in Call’s Plaza, grooming dogs and selling mostly dog and cat collars, toys and beds. Gradually we added small animals and aquarium fish along with their related supplies.

In 2003 we moved our location a short distance down Wilmington Road to our present 4.000 square foot store. This much larger building gave us the opportunity to have a wider variety of animals, fish and merchandise.

Meet the Business Owner

Mike O.

Business Owner

My wife Linda and I have always had a strong connection with our own family dogs. In 1976 we got our first purebred dog, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. A few years later we were competing in AKC dog shows as well as obedience trial competitions and retriever trials and work days. We learned so much about Chesapeakes in particular, but even more about the training and psychology of dogs in general.

That knowledge has been so valuable every day at the store. It enables me to help customers work through the problems they are having with their dogs, and helps me to guide them to the proper training equipment and proper techniques in using that equipment.

Twenty six years later, helping people have a harmonious life with their animals continues to be a very rewarding experience.
