I was looking for a store in the area that sold raw pet food. I found Phydeaux listed as a distributor so I sent an email to the store asking them about it. To my surprise, the owner wrote me back a long, and helpful, email. Even though it is a bit of a drive for me from Durham, I trekked out there on a Sunday afternoon (yes they have Sunday hours). When I got there, the staff was very friendly and mostly helpful (nobody told me that cats being switched to a raw diet have trouble digesting lamb, as a result I have a huge bag of lamb that my cats get violently ill from). I spent about an hour in the store deciding. I would recommend doing a little research before you go, especially if you want to switch your pet?s diet, because they have a LOT of different brands. The atmosphere was homey?there seemed to be many regulars, many customers were chatting with each other and the staff addressed them by name. I even had another customer come over and give me her view on the food I was looking at. I will return to this store?maybe not as often as if they were in Durham?but they are worth the drive. It is a cute store, with a huge selection (especially given the size of the store). Plus, you have to love their clever name.
Pros: great selection, friendly staff, nice location
Cons: staff not completely informed about all products
