I went in for something small, the young lady that helped me was amazing and very nice. Come to find out it was the actual owner. You run a fantastic business and are such a wonderful person. Keep up the great work
When I got my first dog, I didnt have anything and the staff helped me get a full setup and the right food to keep my dog healthy and safe. The grooming services are amazing as well. I would recommend Buzz n Bs to anyone.
This shop is truly amazing. Paige and the other lads are very good at taking care of my babies and they offer only the best for our pets. Great food, great care, great prices. Check them out!
They were so helpful with a little emergency we had. So very friendly and caring. Returned just to thank everyone in person. Beautiful place. Our go-to place from now on.
Customer service is great! I had trouble getting my fish tank cycled and they were there from the beginning. Took the time explaining how things worked and helped me getting to a tank full of fish. They were all very patient considering I had no clue what I was doing. Very glad I found this little gem. I’ll be a customer from here on out.
Wonderful pet store in Erie! Knowledgeable staff with an excellent selection of products. Each visit is a fun adventure.
The young guy that helped me get my aquarium set up was great. Ill be back next week for some fish!
I havent gone shopping there recently, but I wanted to drop a good review, because I appreciate their service every single time I do stop by. They are so knowledgeable about their product in each department; their critters and pets are SO healthy and well taken care of (Ive gotten a few arachnids from there and they just thrive); their shop is always clean; and the employees are helpful and friendly. I mostly go in to get crickets for my spiders, but I also enjoy just wandering around to see what they have.
Great store and staff. Helpful and respectful. I’ve been in 5or 6 different fish store we nowhere near the knowledge they had. Will took his time and walked me through some fish choices and it is working out great.
Great place for pets, and supplies. And as of recent times, fishing bait. I got a great deal on shiners for pike bait. I called ahead, and had them waiting for me at the register.
Buzz n B’s is the best aquarium & pet shop I’ve ever been to- and I’ve been to A LOT. Their employees are top notch! Very friendly, informative and willing to help with any of your aquatic needs.
I love this place for getting rats! I got three girls from here. Im giving it 4 stars because they were kept in tanks which gave my girls the coughs but other than that my girls are perfectly healthy! I attached an image of two of the girls. The one time I was there I saw some cool little rodents called a African soft haired rat and now I desperately want a couple. Hope to find them again when I go there!Also whenever I go there the staff are always very very helpful! Theyll help you out with what youre looking for, help you with the pets, let you hold them, etc. Theyre an amazing staff.
OH MY GOODNESS I FREAKING LOVE THIS PLACE!! The workers are really kind and helpful and they have an awesome and wide variety. I do have a critique though, the animals are kept away too small cages, primarily the rats. And they need proper ventilation.But overall My go to pet store always!!
The staff team is absolutely great if you know what youre doing, but when I first went in as a prospective fish owner, i felt really lost.
Cleanest and healthiest aquatics store in town hands down !! Loads of rare hard to find species of fish . Highly recommend!
We always find what were looking for here! They have a great selection. We went in for Ghost Shrimp, but stumbled across these guys instead.We will definitely go here before any other pet shops in Erie.
Love this place. Only place Ive found that cares for the animals and customers. I travel 45 mins passing 3 other shops!
Got there about 20 minutes before closing time on a saturday employees still treated us just as same as if they werent closing soon. We went to get an algae eater for our fish tank ended up with 3 snails which the employee recommended was best for size of our tank and size of it. Younger group of kids working and the 3 I had contact with were helpful and pleasant!
I have been shopping at Buzz n Bs for many years and absolutely love it. I loved it so much I got a part time job there! I had the pleasure of working for Paige and Josh for a couple of years and they are both so wonderful to work for. All of the employees are extremely knowledgeable and I would highly recommend checking out the store and seeing all they have to offer for your furry, feathered, scaly & aquatic friends :)
Great place to get your fur baby supplies. The staff and owner are very knowledgeable!! ❤️❤️
The best pet store around!Shopped here for years, recently just moved to Texas and I cant tell you guys how lucky you are to have Buzz in your town and how much I miss it! Wide variety of products, products that you will not be afraid to give your feathered, furry, or scaled friends They listen to your needs, educate in ways you will easily remember and understand, have unlimited resources of information on the care for animals, and the best staff.Miss the buzz n Bs family!
Great place with nice helpful staff. Small parking for such a great place with many customers. Just off the main road and easily missed so be looking for it
I love talking with the fish guys and gals. They listen well and enjoy teaching new things every time I go in. They have fixed up their aquarium displays and keep a lot of interesting fish in stock.
Animals are well cared for. Staff is super knowledgeable. Lots of variety!
Buzz n Bs are very accommodating and knowledgeable people. I had an issue with one of their canister filters that I had purchased from them a year ago and they told me just to bring it back and they would give me a new one. It is a friendly store where they care about their customers.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Good selection of fish and supplies! Will be back when Im in the area
Not really impressed with the lack of concern from the employees in the freshwater tank areas. Loved the variety of species and the selection, but I found quite a few dead livestock in multiple tanks. The guys who worked there were talking and sitting on the counter top instead of patrolling the tanks to remove the fish that had died. Not a good public look. The employer needs to crack the whip and get the employees motivated to present a healthy environment to the public.
Very helpful staff they didnt have what I was looking for but they knew where to send me.
I love going to Buzz n Bs to get our fish supply also my daughter new hamster. Love looking at the birds. Place is super clean and ready for business. The new owner is super nice. My kids love to walk over there alot and look at all their animals.
The only pet store i need!!Always friendly, personable help and service!!
Always have a good experience in here with the well versed staff. Kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Its an older store so its a little worn, but its clean. The pet cages never smell funky and the fish tanks are clean.
Loved the amount of animals you are able to interact with inside! They almost always have what you are looking for.
Recently I had stopped into PetSmart due to the convenience of the location while I was in town on Peach Street. BIG mistake. Buzz and Bs is WORTH the extra drive for so many reasons. First off they have a great selection of fish to choose from. But even more importantly they have FRIENDLY staff that are KNOWLEDGEABLE about fish and aquariums. The big box stores cannot compare to the service you receive at this Buzz n Bs. Fish are not cheap and if you are going to spend good money on them it is best to buy them from a store that knows what they are talking about and WANT to help you and EARN your business.
I have taken my parakeet in to get his nails trimmed. They do a really good job and are very reasonable. They have alot of toys for my bird.
Great place and outstanding people working there. They really know and care about pets. The cost is a tad higher than other places, bit the items sold are trustworthy. That really adds value!!!
Good place with a large selection of pet supplies for all pets
One of the best pet stores around even though they are way pricey compared to other stores, they care for their animals. Unfortunately the staff has been nicer in the past, now when I go in Ifeel like Im being belittled and treated like I dont know anything about animals when I have been rescuing animals for 15 years and am currently in school to become a veterinarian. When I went in about three months ago to get medicine for my fish, the employee seemed extremely annoyed and yelled at me for not having my two fancy goldfish in a 100 gallon tank!! They were already in a 75 gallon and were the only fish in the tank along with many live plants and mystery snails. They dont even have their goldfish in a 100 gallon tank so I dont understand why I needed to have two fish in one? Im always nice when I go in and I expect them to be the same way especially since Im spending my hard earned money there.
Paige and her staff are AMAZING! Friendly, knowledgeable, professional best pet store ever!
Great store. I go there every day.
I love supporting small businesses. They have a lot to offer here and I love their variety of fish and aquarium related products. They also have a bird “hotel” which is awesome.
Great shop for all your beloved nonhuman companion needs and wants! Great staff that are friendly and knowledgeable. I wouldnt go anywhere else but here for my animal babes
Awesome store. Great, helpful staff, very friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Wide assortment of small animals, reptiles. Fish. Birds, spiders, and supplies for everything!
Such wonderful helpful people and too much choices! Love it!
Clean store, friendly and helpful staff, a great selection of everything really with great prices; A lot of the stuff carried in this store can be found online, but for way more money.
This is a great shop!! Staff was so friendly and every enclosure was very clean. The aquatics section is excellently maintained. Its a long ride for me, but I cant wait to visit again!
Great experience. Had my dog there to hey her nails cut. Margie & Steve were wonderful with her when we went to the checkout the girls even gave her a couple of cookies! Would rate their service excellent!
Great place for all your pet needs update new owners but better then ever2/23/22 corals are killer 5/25/22 update they are still best sellers in corals
They have healthy animals, knowledgeable staff, and decent prices. My favorite small business pet store Ive been to in the area.
Very helpful people. Passionate about exotic pets.
Love supporting business that aren’t a chain but I love it even more when the staff is super friendly! They go out of their way to answer all your questions and take the time with you to make sure you are well informed! Their animals are always super clean and great health! They let you hold and handle the animals which my kids love! My kids love stopping in just to see what new furry friends they can cuddle!
Got this little guy a week ago from Buzz n Bs hes absolutely amazing and cute.
Friendly workers ,great choices but I do have one question on your website why do you have a bearded dragon on reptiles that looks a little injured (it might be berries but idk) but your store is very good with a lot of fish and other animals I also live close by which is good and your workers give good information :)
Knowledgeable staff member made it a great visit. Helped my wife determine which fish to purchase for her 200 gallon fresh water aquarium.
Didn’t even want to give one star. Rabbits out in the open unsupervised children were handling them, even dropped a poor baby rabbit, gave me a heart attack nearly. I’m hoping it wasn’t hurt... there was a bird in a small cage (obviously not comfortable/trying to escape) and the cashier thought it was funny that she could’ve injured a smaller animal they had just boxed (hamster I’m assuming)... disgusting. Customer service sucked. I’m so disappointed in myself for bringing my rabbit along to buy me toys from this awful place. Don’t support this business until they hire staff that actually care about the animals...
One of the very best in the nation and I can say that because Ive been all over! I really adore this store. Its got selection, an awesome team of people. The owner is so cool, caring and smart ... Live in Erie? Shop here and support local!
I really wanted to love this place, I’ve heard so many great things about it, but my experience was, sadly, subpar. The store itself is very nice, all the animals were well kept and it was very nicely organized and easy to navigate. They also had signs stating that most of their animals were locally bred, which is awesome! That being said, most products at the store are extremely pricy. I came in looking for some endler live-bearers to add to my community tank, I’ve been struggling to find them and hoping that they would since they claim to have the largest fish selection in Erie. The staff seemed displeased to help me and when asked about endlers they did not have any idea what they were and pointed me into the direction of feeder guppies. I realize that endlers and guppies are similar and of the same family, but they aren’t the same species of fish. Their “feeder guppies” were a mix of guppies and endlers, but when asked about it they acted as if being a feeder was its own species. I had saw in an unmarked plant tank that there was a pure endler with little to no guppy mixed in it, I asked the staff about it and they denied that there were any fish in the tank and when I showed it to them I was told that, alas, that’s a feeder guppy. I was already planning on buying some feeders for my clawed frog, so when having them bagged I asked if they could make sure to scoop one or two of the ones that had the distinctive color & markings of an endler, and this really seemed to displease them. Lastly, their bettas looked to be in awful condition. They were all clearly very unhealthy and were kept in bowls, which may be bigger than the standard betta cup but leads to the idea that customers can keep their betta in that bowl and therefore in my opinion is more dangerous/unhealthy than a plastic cup. Very disappointed, almost every family owned/non-chain pet store I’ve been to has kept their bettas for sale in tanks, I wish this store would do the same, they clearly had the space for it. Also please clean out the dead goldfish from the tubs. Overall, I just wish their staff was more friendly and knowledgeable on their animals.
Absolutely wonderful shop! They have amazing selection of both fresh and salt water aquatic live and decor, not to mention everything you might need and/or want for an aquarium. They also have a variety of small pets and supplies. I couldnt name them all in a review. The staff is always above and beyond helpful and courteous. The prices are fair. My family loves this place!
My favorite local pet supplies store. Prices can be a bit more than the chains but the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Everything they sell is quality and if there is a problem their return policy is hassle free
Boarded my sun conure, for 4 days. Service was awesome, price was spectacular. Employees were above and beyond. Wish their were more than 5 stars on the rating scale. Will be back for bird and my other pets
Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff who clearly loves what they do. Great selection of products. Top notch care for the animals with a culture of love and affection for all creatures comes first at this pet shop in Erie. Great experience all around.
Store has gone through changes over the years.fresh water fish variety is good. Saltwater area is fair at best. Needs a good cleaning. Rest of store is bright and clean.
Local main stay. Good folks running the establishment. Offers independent alternates but theyll gladly explain and go over items with you
Dog grooming was a huge success. Our little BANDIT looks sooooo cute and handsome. They are the best. Thanks Margie
A very clean and cozy facility. And with so many child friendly animals, supplies and other things...all in the same place so you dont have to go to different stores just to by different parts of a cage, aquariames and other pet supplies/appliances. Plus, my kids really loved all their cute bunnies that you could carry. All the employees there are so welcoming and not rude.
I had high expectations for this store. It had great reviews online and the photos seemed pretty nice!Upon looking around the store, I was disappointed to see tiny cages being sold for the birds and small animals. With chain stores I’m not very upset about this because corporate forces them to sell these cages, and they don’t have much of a choice. However, from what I know, this is a family owned business, and the have the ability to choose exactly what they stock. The reptiles seemed fairly well cared for, not a ton to complain about there. The birds seemed fine as well, could use a little more enrichment for some, but not the worst. The small animals had mesh wheels which was dangerous, just seemed like they weren’t the healthiest. The bettas in bowls was very disappointing. I understand that it would be impossible to get separate filtered and heated tanks for every betta but I would expect a good aquarium store to have a long divided tank or a betta rack. How is ammonia supposed to be removed in a bowl? The bettas could even be kept with peaceful schooling fish if the tank isn’t too filled. They don’t have a massive selection of betta fish (which isn’t a problem on its own) so this shouldn’t be too hard. The fish tanks were incorrectly labeled. For people who don’t know a lot about fish like I do (I work at a pet store and have had tanks for years), this can cause problems for someone who is browsing for tank ideas. Celestial pearl danios were labeled as zebra danios, which is about a $7 difference per fish. Can’t imagine asking for a school of them and then finding that out at the register. And just saying- having the biggest selection of fish does not mean just having a ton of tanks... The goldfish seemed to have water quality issues as ALL of them were sitting on the bottom and their gills gasping for oxygen.A lot of inventory was overpriced. Employees (aside from those at register) seemed uninterested and bothered when asked for help. Waited to get help while employees were just standing around. As I mentioned, I work at a pet store, it just seems like common courtesy to ask “need some help” if they seem to be standing a while.Lots of improvement needed on the store, all able to be easily solved. If all of this were taken care of it would most definitely get a 5/5.
Staff is amazing and attentive. Very kind and helpful. This has been my favorite place since I was little. I love visiting to see the animals and soon, we will be back to bring our first ferret home 💕
The shop is exactly what you are looking for if you are into freshwater fish. They have hundreds of species of fish and they are all reasonably priced. The also carry some saltwater species but lean more towards freshwater. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and will take the time out of their day to explain things to you. They are also very helpful if you have a sick fish! This is my go to Local fish store and will be for the foreseeable future.
I absolutely love this place. The owner Paige is amazing, along with all their staff. Definitely treat your pets to some goodies from here
I used to love it in here. I grew up right around the area so Im very familiar with it as its been there a long time. Unfortunately the last few times Ive been in there with my children, we were greeted when we walked in with a hello by the cashier but no one ever asked if we needed anything. I was in there with the intent to buy fish. We were in there for at least a half hour walking around mostly the aquariums with not one bit of Is there anything I can get for you? Sadly I walked out with nothing, even though I always thought youre quality was one of the best☹️
Super clean establishment. The folks there are very friendly and willing to help. They did not seem to be rushed to get you out the door. We had questions on birds and they took us and showed us they feed and take care of all their birds. Couldnt be any happier with the help that we received. Prices on supplies were very competitive as well!!
This is the only pet store where I would actually buy a pet. These people are just cool. They get baby pets, and they raise them in-house with the highest standards. They dont stock puppies because they know that puppies should be able to run around and not be stored in tiny cubes. Their bunnies and guinea pigs are healthy and happy, and their exotic birds are glossy and curious. This is not a pet mill, they legitimately want the best for their pets.
Great shop for most if not all of your pet and aquarium needs. Super helpful and friendly staff make it worth your time to stop and visit.
Took a trip day trip from CLE to Erie to do some shopping a while ago and found this place. I have 4 aquariums and now exclusively drive here to buy fish. The fish are always healthy & happy that Ive brought home. (Which is a good hour and a half) Also the employees are so nice and knowledgeable, about pretty much everything in the store. Love you guys! So glad I found you!Update- been there 4 times now and I still just cant believe the wonderful selection you have, got some new fish and some dog accessories. Your prices are very comparable especially since you guys work hard to keep them healthy.
The staff were all nice and we saw really cute animals. The rats and birds are my personal favourite. But we found what we were looking for and it was fun. Thanks!
Beautifully health, and obviously cared for creatures of all kinds for sale, with friendly and knowledgeable staff at every turn. The quality at this pet store compared to others is through the roof! Its worth the drive to the West Side of town to shop here. I will do all my critter purchases here!
Best pet shop ever! I love this pet store because they sell a wide variety of truly well cared for animals. The staff is always very friendly, very knowledgable, and accomodating! They have nothing short of the best brands to choose from for our furr baby!
I have purchased two parrots here. Very healthy well cared for birds. Bird department answers any and all questions you have. Very experienced bird care staff. They have everything that I need for his care. My recent green cheek conure was being weened so I was able to visit him every day until he came home 4 weeks later.
Great local pet store. Check here first if you are looking to purchase snall pets, reptiles birds, or fish they have an excellent selection of them all. Rabbits and Guinea Pigs are able to be held anytime, and the staff is more than willing to get other animals out for you to meet. They will also hold animals for you while you convince your significant other that they are something they want too. Very knowledgeable about different species, and willing to find a staff member who knows more if they do not have your answer.
Margie did a great job on Comet! Helped him reach his cuteness potential!!!
Very nice place with every huge variety of pet products for birds, fish,reptiles, cats dogs. Joe (I think thats what his name was) in the fish department was very helpful and friendly and went above and beyond to help us out.
Buzz n Bees has been the awesome, locally owned pet store for many years. Besides a great variety of food, toys and supplies for just about any pet, they offer a multitude of pet care services. Their staff is super caring and helpful. I dont know if they still do, but years ago they hosted kids birthday parties where they bring in different animals to hold, pet and learn about. My daughter loved it, as did her friends. It was way better than Chuck E Cheese and the money goes toward a very caring local business.
Great pet shop with many exotic species in it
Absolutely love this place. Clean well taken care of animals and you wont find better staff anywhere. I highly recommend this establishment.
Friendly knowledgeable staff always willing to help!
A locally owned pet shop, with all types of small animals, birds, rodents, amphibions, lizards/reptiles, fresh and saltwater fish. There is alot of unique items for your pets. Has supplies for all animals too. A super friendly and knowledgeable staff who has helped me out many times with all my pets. I recommend this store over chain stores because of how intelligent their employees are about all their animals. Highly recommended to purchase from for live animals. Birds and other small pets for sale are handled daily and taken care of extremely well! This place impressed me by far, all the chain stores carry the same items, Buzz and Bs has unique aquarium, bird, reptile decor and supplies.
Staff was very kind and incredibly insightful, Im definitely coming back to this location
The only place I can buy there fish and they never die on me. Anytime I buy fish anywhere else theyre all dead within a week or two. Think the cat and dog toys are way over priced but it doesnt stop me from buying ones that my furr babys love. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful with a wide variety of information. Weather your a fish, bird, cat, dog or reptile lover.Theyll have the answers your looking for. If they dont have it they will even order the thing your looking for. Which to me is far beyond customer satisfaction.I Highly recommended.
The personnel at Buzz n Bs will take time to answer any questions that you might have concerning your pet. I found the customer service to be above average. I definitely will be visiting again for food and services for the parakeet I purchased
Very nice hometown shop. Really enjoyed what I saw for all kinds of animals. Im not from the area they are located but did find something for my snake that I had been looking for. Staff was friendly. Even asked about the reptile expo that was in town. Little pricey on some items but reasonable on others.
Great selection! I went in to stock up on some supplies so could start cycling my aquarium before introducing a new fish. The staff is very knowledgeable, but make sure you do your own research on the animal you want to buy before you go in, because I was given some false information on several of the fish. I wouldn’t have known otherwise if I hadn’t researched beforehand! Other than that, high quality products for much better prices than petco or petsmart.
Best place for your rare pet and pet care needs. Get here and be amazed! They have all of the basics you expect, and more. From saltwater and freshwater fish and aquatic animals of all types, to snakes and reptiles. Also the largest selection of rare and beautiful birds you could imagine, as well as all the necessary treats and diets, as well as a great selection of toys and fun for all of our precious pets.I have purchased a white bellied caqiue named CHARLIE THEPARROT! And let me tell you, the fun and challenge of raising this intelligent and fun creature has been my familys sheerpleasure. So go check them out! And asalways, go do something new and fun, andthanks for reading on!
Great place. Very helpful. However it makes me sad how unhealthy the birds in their care look. I know that you cant expect much from a pet store, but it still hurts my heart.edit: wouldnt support a chain pet store like this now, knowing how unethical they most likely are
Tierd of the big brands we did a google search and found this place. They have alot of awesome pets and josh is awesome! He helped my wife and kids pick out a few pet rats that they love. Overall a great experience and will go there from now on. You cant beat the treat you like family experience. Thanks again josh for all your help!
Worst Experience Buying FishWent to buy a fish with my brother we had seen a black nasty cichlid the other day. Went home researched it watched YouTube videos about I was pretty educated about the fish. My brother called ahead and reserved the fish we drove half way across the city. When we got there there were two male employees were working with the fish we approached the older gentleman when we told them we were there for the fish he demanded to know our tank size too which my brother responded 150 gallon. He threw his hands up in the air and said I needed at LEAST a 600 gallon tank. That I should google it and should have done research. He then stormed off. The younger gentleman in a nicer tone repeated the same rude phrases over again. I was in such utter shock of the way I had been treated I walked away. I then went to my car and did as the man suggested and google it. Every result came up the same it would be 15 inches in length and that the tank size was a minimum of 75 gallons. I then called the store and spoke to a young lady and told her of how uneducated her employees were she apologized too me and was extremely nice but didnt put the older gentlemen on the phone who spoke down to me when he was clearly uneducated and misinformed. I hope he learns some manors and how to google a fish himself and while he is at it since hes so concerned about the fishes safety maybe he should put some ICK medicine on the fancy tail gold fish tank since half the fish in that tank have ICK! Im very passionate and loving towards my fish. I totally understand being passionate about a raising fish but even if I were wrong I would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS talk to a customer in that manor. I hope that when the women I spoke to on the phone told the older gentleman about his misinformation that he took the time to take his own advice and google it. I think he was thinking of a dobi I didnt have the chance to talk to him since he stormed off and the younger gentleman wasnt going to go against him. Today you lost out on a 25 dollar fish sale for a fish that would have had a happy life In a wonderful tank. Its truly a shame that you have such a rude employee on your team every one else is so nice.
Best place to get goldfish All though I wish they had more big goldfish in stock
They have a wide selection of animals from reptiles, to fish, to birds, and smaller mammals. Everything is displayed nicely and they provide a wide assortment of accessories and foods for the animals they sell there. They did a decent job grooming my golden lab especially on short notice. My primary point of going there is to get my African Greys nails and wings. Sadly, I will only trust Steve there to take care of that for me. He dies a good job and makes sure not to hurt the birds. Them being frightened is a different story. Imagine howd you feel in that situation with strangers all around you. The one time I didnt get it done with Steven my bird came back with a scratch on his face. Nothing bad came from it though.
They were very helpful with advice concerning my familys growing aquarium community. And I was pleasantly surprised at the wide variety of pet food (fish, bird, dog, and so much more,) animals, and accessories for nearly every kind of pet. We will be making the trip back as soon as we can!
Please keep your dog food stocked up. Everytime I go in their you guys tell me you ordered more and and everytime I go their is limited amounts. I dont wanna go elsewhere but its starting to become frustrating.
DO YOUR RESEARCH WITH ANY ANIMAL YOU ADOPT AND/OR PURCHASE.Overall, I reccommend this pet shop over the big brand shops. They sell animals that are locally bred. However, they do need to aquire better knowledge and have better selection in the small pet supply department. They sell items that are unhealthy for some animals [nut and seed sticks for guinea pigs, hides that pose danger of getting stuck, cages that are too small (specifically for guinea pigs and rabbits)]. Ive owned mice, rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and they sometimes give out INCORRECT information.With that being said, do your research. With ANY shop you visit. Not just with this shop, but with ANY.
Very nice personnel, and great service, if you have a pet, this is the place to go.
I love buzz n bees, friendly employees and lots of good quality items for your pets. Their aquarium section is full and well maintained and they carry lots of aquarium equipment.
I have been going here for a year or so, and I love this place!!! I have gotten a budgie and a caique here and they are so well behaved! They have unbeatable prices on everything from food to animals! The staff and owner is so friendly compared to chain pet stores. They know alot about animal nutrition and care. I want another bird soon and Im 100% going to purchase from them! I highley highley recommend them for all of your pet care needs!!
I took my daughter here to Buzz n Bs to get some bunny food. So I went in with her because I havent been in there for a couple of years and wanted to check it out.First thing I noticed was this big ball for putting a little critter in. Made me wish I still had my ferret and that they had that ball a few years ago when he was still alive.Checked out the big selection of lizards and few snakes, but I was surprised how many birds they had.The I had to check out the fish and water plants and coral area.I just learned that you have to be careful with the coral that you get!!Some are toxic or something! On the Drs show they talked about it and called the segment Killer Coral So be careful and do some research before you buy coral!I was bummed that they only had one Oscar. I like Oscars and I think I just might get back into having a fish tank again.Have a great day 😎
Absolutley love this place for everything! There prices are also better than the big box stores. I drive the extra 15 min and stock up!
The management changed? Best move EVER..... I guess I need a few fish of some kind. I will go back and support it again. To bad you missed out on the new 245gallon Guppy Park and 2 30 gallon molly and plat tanks that are new......... Im sorry but the old manager (I think it was) made some comments. I called it out.... If I spend well over 200.00 in a smaller shop or even in a big store. I dont want my ass kissed but a little more respect then some random people looking threw windows. Would be nice.......Water over the bridge. .. This store was always nice inside. The fish were clean. fair prices on most stuff
Great knowledgable staff. I came in from ohio looking for a better aquarium store then back home, i was very impressed with their set ups and friendliness of the staff. Great job people keep it up!
Buzz n Bees is the best pet shop in town! Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, reasonable prices and locally owned. The shop is passionate about their pets and they support local organizations and businesses. I highly recommend to all friends and visitors!
Locally owned, people that actually know about pets and decent prices. Bought a 4ft LED light fixture for a fish tank it was $25 cheaper than a chain store.
They have a wide variety of pet supplies.
Weve purchased two conures from here and two ferrets. Staff is always friendly and ready to answer our questions. Would definitely recommend going there versus the big name stores.
Great little pet store! Animals are kept in clean bright areas, feed properly, and healthy. Staff is knowledgeable (I grilled them to see if they knew what they were talking about since I already knew the answers to the questions I asked, lol). I would only go here for small animals and birds purchases if a breeder is not available.
My go to for everyone animal related. Friendly, knowledge, courteous staff. You can tell that they take pride in what they do. Very clean cages and tanks. Healthy animals and great options for reptiles, birds and fish. A must if you live in Erie.
Stopped in during Small Business Saturday 2016. Store was well staffed by knowledgeable associates. We enjoyed looking at the aquariums and terrariums. My boys are fascinated with fish. I see a fish tank in our future. When we make that purchase well definitely choose Buzz n Bs.
Employees are well dressed in work shirts. Very nice to customers. Clean place for having animals in there. By far one if my favorite places to go to. Highly recommended!
We live near Sharon Pa an hour an a half away. Anytime we are in Erie we always make sure to stop. This store always has the best customer service paired with great prices and the best variety of plants and fish we have seen.
Bought two Indian Ringneck parrots and their absolutely lovely. Bit pricey but their attitudes and traits seem to be worth it. Also bought cage and a Uromastyx lizard for my son. All employees are friendly and seem very knowledgeable in their respective departments. An employee named Paige, think thats how her name was spelled, is awesome with birds! Highly suggest her for any bird questions, advice, or tips. Overall very family friendly with great selection of family pets. Will probably be buying more birds in near future🤗😍
I can get most of the products I bought here for almost fifteen percent cheaper online. Not bad but the turtle with the overgrown beak and the catty cashier did me in pretty bad. I wont be returning.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff!
They were all very helpful and friendly, and I was able to find a very nice parakeet. All of their birds looked very healthy, and when I was there they had a beautiful, baby scarlet macaw!
I was at dinner with my wife, and afterwards took a walk over to Buzz n Bees to see what they had for my aquarium. Their fish expert Josh was there to help this old man out in what my current monsters would get along with. Thank you Josh, and the other fish-men for making my tank a bit safer for the new guys, and a great recommendation for my NEXT tank! (We also got some crickets for our scaly friends too). WILL BE BACK! 10 stars if I could.
I would never purchase a living creature from this store other than as a mission of mercy. The worst-looking, unhealthiest-looking Siamese fighting fish, bettas, Ive ever seen, I saw at this store.Several years ago I made a visit for supplies & saw a betta in a small aquarium near the front door who, predictably, looked just awful. He saw me & his body language said, Please, take me with you, get me away from here, I beg you. I did take pity on him & took him with me, I housed him & fed him decently, and he died that same night. I didnt bother saying anything to store management because it was glaringly obvious to me that management didnt care.
I love this store. It is the best one for finding things for my pet bird. Many other places only have a few things. They also do pet grooming and have kids of items for dogs and cats as well add exotic pets!
We bought a Gray Conure @ B n Bs and we could not have been more satisfied. The owner all the way to the workers were very friendly, there was no push to buy and they were very knowledgeable. Even now when we’re just there to buy food or toys for our bird the people who were there ask about him. And the novelties of food and toys for all animals are endless. Great store
Really great staff. They are all very nice and knowledgeable. I like the wide variety of pet foods available.
Such wonderful staff so nice walk in immediately ask if we need any help finding something went to the fish area theguu was very nice helping us with my daughter in finding her first fish she was so excited in couldnt decide he was very patient with her gave us good advise love this store will be back in few weeks to get more fish for sure love love love this store on r way out he let her look at the big reg bird
This pet store fought me on the gender of the two rats I wanted swearing that they were actually boys and insisted that if I got another to get a boy to put with them. So I did, a month later I had two female rats giving birth and 17 rat babies. They said they could give me store credit as if the 20 bucks I spent on rats would do me any good raising 17 babies. Then said they could refund if I returned the rats and their babies but, they couldn’t promise they wouldn’t be sold as feeders for snakes which isn’t reassuring due to the attachment I have to these little dudes. Don’t trust this place, don’t go here for a pet go to a expert. Left a cute baby photo though cause why not.
Mike does an amazing job. The bird inventory is my favorite. Dogs and fish supplies and helpful staff. Clean. Animals well cared for. My mini macaw came from here 25 years ago!!
I have shopped Buzz n Bees for years. Have known both the parents n Mike n Tommy. I know I will go back, but I had the worse experience of my life there. The sales person had no idea what they had in dog food, not a clue. I had gone in, because another sales person had told me they carried the brand I use. Nope...horrible experience just horrible...sorry guys, train your help bettet...
Got my bunny there and the lady that helped me gave me so much information and helped gather up everything that I would need for him! Love it there!!
A honest to goodness pet store. This pet store has the best staff, who is very knowledgeable and the owners are good people. Great place to buy small pets and the goodies for the bigger pets.
This pet store has a large selection of items for small animals, reptiles, birds, and fish, which is often not found in larger chain pet stores. However, most rodents for sale are kept in crowded, small containers with only food, water, and one tube for crawling through. This definitely turns me away from purchasing there.
Great selection of small animals, fish, toys, food, accessories, maintenance. Not much more price for most things than big chain stores. Happy to support a local business with knowledgeable employees.
Always love this place, very impressed by their knowledge and care of their animals. Can tell they really di care, that its not JUST a paycheck to them.
If I could give 0 stars I would. Me and my fiance bought a beta fish, brought it home in a new tank and had the water checked at Petco which turned out perfect but he still died in 4 days. When we called the store they said theres nothing they can do past 2 days. We also bought a redcap Oranda goldfish with two smaller fantail goldfish. Within 3 days they started to show signs of the ich disease. The store said to just put aquarium salt in so we did and then bought medicine as recommended by trusted fish sites. The fish got so sick they laid at the bottom of the tank and would eat for days until they eventually all died. All water quality was checked, we had the right equipment and followed the treatment plan for them but they still all died. I wouldnt recommend buying their diseased fish if you actually care about animals because having to flush 4 fish in one week after spending over $150 on supplies and medicine is completely ridiculous. We will never be going back.
Eries best pet and supplies store, hands down. Dedicated, knowledgeable staff, great prices and whatever you need, theyll get it. Great to visit, even just to look around!!
My daughter really wanted a hamster for Christmas. We went to petsmart and Petco and they didnt have any and the service was nonexistent. We went to Buzz n Bs and the service was excellent and the had the kind of hamster we were looking for. We should of went there first! Needless to say well be going there from now on.
Has a good variety for all your pets. From your Salt water aquarium to mans best friend. They got you covered. Your bearded dragon will love the crickets. They also have grooming.
The employees are so nice and helpful!
My daughter absolutely loves this store...I work outta town and only get a day off here and there but when Im home its the first place she wants to go....great staff VERY UNDERSTANDING haha and super knowledgeable about all pets...only place we buy.....if you havent been there deffinatpy try it out 😁
Extremely nice. Great deals. Amazing costumer service. Great prices. I’d choose Buzz and B’s over anyone else anytime
Super friendly and helpful staff. We got our bunny here. Will definitely be making the trip back for more pet supplies
Joe was AWESOME. Very knowledgeable and has a great attitude. Tank isnt healthy yet but cant wait to get some fish!!!
Staff is super helpful and knowledgeable. They take great care of their animals and they have an awesome selection on just about everything animal related that you can think of!
Buzz and bees is a super great store. They are very knowledgeable on all of the animals and products that they carry. They go above a normal store. Highly recommend them.
Great place. Well taken care of animals. Lots of choices!
We were not from the area but stopped in to check it out glad we did left with several items. Wonderful helpful workers and gave us information we did not know! The gentleman that helped us has been employed over 23 years. Highly recommended looking forwards to revisiting when in the area
Great little place where we can find the right nutritional dietary requirements for our Scarlett McCaw. These folks welcome her into the store, and its always a treat to see the other animals pals..
Very lovely people. Answered my questions and offered me advice. Only complaint is I think the bedding they have for the rats is too fibery, the rats seemed to be sneezing a lot...
They have really turned things around from a few years ago. The old owners barely had any stock and I figured it would eventually close. New owners took over and the store appears to be thriving again! Lots of livestock and supplies!
Very poor. I wanted some gold fish& plants. The salesman didnt help me. I had to get my own plants and got no fish. This was the last time i will ever show there. And will tell everybody i know NOT to shop there. Very poor service
Love this store. Awesomely friendly staff. Knowledgeable in what they do. Highly recommend for all of your pets needs.
Excellent service. Staff great help with everything.
Tanks looked like they were never cleaned, didnt have things that a fish store should have
Great store had what we needed, where the big stores did not. Nice staff, helped me out to my car with our large purchase. I would recommend this gem of a store to anuone
Great local pet store. Has great fish selection with interesting fish you cant find anywhere else, any fish weve gotten there have always been healthy
Great place.Well-managed, knowledgeable and friendly staff, hand-raised pets for sale or just to visit.Reasonable prices.
We love this pet store. Everyone here is really friendly and we come here even when were not gonna adopt a new pet.
Staff always friendly and knowledgeable! We love coming here! We always look forward to checking out the variety of animals they have.
Went to buy my daughter a Chinese water dragon and when they got it out noticed it couldnt open its one eye and had mouth rot starting, the worker brought it to the owners attention to see if he would have it checked out and right in front of us he said he wasnt, weve gone back twice to check on it this month and its only gotten worse :( the last owners seemed to care so much more!
Very decent selection of fish went for the first time two weeks ago. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff will definitely return when I have the chance
Almost always very knowledgeable help me out when my fish wouldnt stop dying told me what I needed to do turns out just happened to be the water always going to go there for my pet needs
We got a corm snake and a crested gecko from here and they are both good healthy animals. The people that work there are very friendly and knowledgeable!!
We bought another guinea pig so our female pig we already have had a companion, sales staff is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly bought food and hay and a new bigger water bottle also since we have 2 pigs now and from what I seen their prices are very competitive and rival the prices you can get ordering online only thing I didnt understand the male pigs were on sale half of bit the female pigs werent always my luck lol
Love petting the fluffy bunnies, checking out all the cool fish, reptiles, birds, etc. Always friendly, knowledgeable service
Love this place!!! We always take our cockatoo here to have her nails trimmed up. The staff are amazing with her. ❤
Always friendly staff and a great selection of aquarium supplies and livestock, fresh and saltwater
Amazing family oriented pet store. Staff is courteous and extremely helpful and always have a smile on their faces.
They are always so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Local shops are always better than the big chains!
Experienced & Welcoming Staff, Friendly & Knowledgeable Management, Clean Store! A must see stop in Erie, Pa!
Like support local but variety is lacking
Only place I would take my birds. They are the best. I go after to see everything they have for sale. Great owner too.

2022-03-31Buzz n Bees is the best pet shop in Erie! Every single employee there is super friendly and knowledgeable and the owners Paige and Josh are great people. I very highly recommend this store to all pet lovers! I personally love their bird department, which is always new and exciting to see all different species that come and go! As a bird breeder, I wouldnt trust anyone else besides Buzz n Bees! I encourage you to stop by if you are interested in a feathered friend!

2022-03-31We love Buzz n B’s! They have everything we need to keep our spoiled cat(Francine) living in the style to which she has become accustomed. Everything from quality food and litter to awesome toys and treats. We also get all of our bird feeder supplies there. The selection is impressive. The staff is friendly and always helpful-Josh has even carried my purchases to my car! Paige has done an amazing job with the store and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. If you have a fur, feather, or finned baby you should most definitely check it out!!

2022-06-20Being a bird owner sometimes I find it hard to find places to get stuff at but this places has everything. And just seeing all the birds just flying around made my day. As well as seeing how well they were taken care of. If you want anything for your bird or want to purchase one come here you wont regret it. The price were great as well.

2022-04-13Always a good experience.. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff that seem to actually want to help you..The owner herself seems like a very cool chic and has been extremely helpful & even appears to actually be interested in her customers dogs/pets and in helping them make good, solid, educated decisions about their needs and their care..We spoke for almost 1/2 hr on dog food once and she even suggested a couple lower priced options for me to consider…They have become my “go to” & have earned my support and referral’s..Highly recommended… 👍

2022-03-31I visited two times and had my niece and nephew with me. We lived our visits.. the kids loved the snakes and lizards. Im a bird person.. there was a sweet bird visiting with its human (i believe she was an employee) and that bird was having a blast. Everyone was helpful, friendly and we left with a treat for the kids dog and tous for my birds.

2022-03-30I have always gotten my Cockatiels from here, they are nothing but kind and recognize me and ask how I am doing whenever I come in. They feel like family and stock quality bird items that can’t be bought anywhere in Erie! I live out of town now but care boxes from home always contain Buzz n B’s items and whenever I visit I stop by or my momMom brings me some. I can easily use Amazon etc. but I am happy to support this business no matter what. They offer affordable boarding for birds and wing and nail clipping. I miss these affordable service a lot now that I am no longer in Erie! You know your feather baby is loved and cared for when boarded here! Tho you may be on a wait list to buy a bird, don’t fret! You will get the best feather babies who were raised with the upmost care. I know my mother has recently been getting dog items here as well and has commented on enjoying the improved stock in that department.
