Most Valuable Pets

My fav pet store locally owned in Lexington, Ky. The animals receive top tier care in this store - best fish selection as well as bunny, bird, lizard selection - they have everything. I'm in the store a lot and the staff are not only kind but very knowledgeable and care about the animals.

Do NOT purchase a Purebred Cat or any cat or kitten from this Pet Shop. The kitten ended upDying from FIP! Breeder was Donna Sousa. The Pet Shop offered NO refund! The breeder has a history of selling sick cats.

Beware of this store. I visited a couple of times and was shocked at the condition of their overpriced puppies whose hair was matted in their own feces. There is an employee by the name of Jameson who will blow smoke up your pant leg but you can't trust. I talked to animal control about the condition of the pets and they told me they've had multiple complaints and have had to make many inspections. Stay away!

Cats, dogs, reptiles, bunnies, fish, etc. Every animal I've came across here looks severely neglected. Cats walking around freely on the ground, children managing and running the place (literally was told that by the child manager in the store), when trying to adopt, was informed by another child that apparently works there that animals I'd pick out were hers and not adoptable. There is zero professionalism here. Also over heard a couple employees laughing about killing fish by purposely putting fish together that will kill in same tank. Wow.

This is an amazing pet store and don't be deceived by thinking it's just something small. They have a little bit of everything. Great selection of fish lots of accessories you can get bunnies turtles cats and dogs here and everything that goes with them from food to toys decorations for the fish tank

This place is under new management and looks and smells MUCH BETTER. There used to be a lot of clutter, it smelled horrible, and was just gross overall, but they seemed to have cleaned up their act.

I have spent well into the four digits at this store. 2/3 of my small pet purchases were incorrectly sexed and now I am spending even more in vet bills. I have a prolific "female" Guinea pig that the staff even checked for pregnancy. That male impregnated my females, including one too old to breed. It's been an expensive week at the vet. I also bought a "DNA sexed male" parrot that caught the attention of our vet as being an obvious female and also exhibits characteristic female hormonal behaviors.Update: on the bright side, we have two newborn pups! On the negative side, I've spent several hundred dollars on vet bills with more to come. That's for the Guinea Pigs alone. The mistake with the parrot is looking to be much more expensive.

My fiance and I purchased a cat from here back in July as an engagement gift to ourselves. In early November, we noticed that he was starting to get sick and took him to his primary vet who informed us of the possibility of a liver shunt. We scheduled an appointment for him to get an ultrasound done, but the day before his appointment he started to get even worse. We rushed him to the vet who gave us the probable diagnosis of FIP. Unfortunately, even after taking him to the emergency pet hospital and keeping him overnight, he passed away. It has come to my attention that this was not just an unfortunate thing that happened to us, but an ongoing issue for DONNA SOUSA and MVP PETS. I will not stop until both are taken down.

I went to MVP today and picked up my regular dog food. The store was so clean and orderly , they have moved things around to give you a wide open experience. My first thought was it didn't smell like a pet store. Smelled like any other really clean retail store (no chorax smell ). Animals of all kinds, in clean surroundings. Would not hesitate to by an animal or food here. All well taken care of, it shows they care.

We have shopped here for many years and I understand it's under new management. My husband and I stopped in to look at fish, upon entering everything looked ok. as we stepped further into the store we found it to be the most filthy store (pet or otherwise) I've ever been in. There was feces on the floor and not just a little and the one sales person was more interested in playing with the birds than cleaning up. the kennels looked as though they haven't been cleaned in days!!! Not only was there feces on the floor but it looked as though the store hadn't been swept in a month!! Food and stuff all over the floor. If they can't keep their store clean just think about them poor fish. I refuse to buy fish from there anymore, or anything for that matter.
