Fort Wagg Pet Store 169 Mittie Haddock Drive, Cameron, NC 28326

"I was in heaven to discover this place as someone who is into exotics and freshwater fish. They keep many of my favorite species of fish in stock, even when they are impossible to find in big box stores. They seem to really care about animals and are easy to work with and down to earth if you have any problems or questions. I love to pop in whenever I am in the area to see what is in stock."

"I’ll start off with saying this place has been our favorite place for the past year to get our ball python (that we bought from Petco) a live rat. The place is always clean and tip top, never have had an issue with them until recently when we bought our boa. We bought our boa on Wednesday, was told he was fed on Monday and hasn’t digested it yet so we put him in his tank till he did on Friday. On Friday we pulled him out of his tank and I noticed a black dot on his face (I thought it was fuzz) , I picked it off, I rolled it in my fingers, it popped and blood appeared, during further examination it was determined he was infested with mites. We immediately boxed him back up and took him back up there. We were greeted by the younger male employee, the owner was in the back, we told him what was going on, he went to the back and explained it to him, they DID give us mite spray thankfully, (it was the only option the offered us) but the poor kid didn’t know very much and wasn’t very well educated on how to get rid of them, (we’ve never dealt with this so we had no idea how to treat this) and we were asking lots of questions and he just had no idea, the owner (who knows us very well, as we’re in there every week) never once approached us and addressed the issue his self which I found very upsetting. Mites are not something easy to get rid of and thankfully I seen that one. They could’ve spread to my bp very easily. We’re still treating him as I type this, after 6 washes and treatments he still has mites coming off of him. And while there the Banana python that’s on hold, was examined and determined he had mites as well. Like I said, this place is normally very clean and the people are normally very helpful, but we are more upset that the snakes there were not a properly examined before being sold, and having to deal with this issue. We’re just wanting to make sure no one else has to deal with this issue, we’ve definitely learned to make sure to check our snakes before purchasing.The photo below is a picture of his tank after 6 treatments, still battling it."

"This store never ceases to amaze me. The staff are always super friendly and knowledgeable. It's wonderful to support a local, veteran owned business. Especially when they have better prices than the big box stores. I'm so thankful to have this store nearby for all my pet needs. They even have a great selection of fish and reptiles. When the time comes for my kiddos to get their Axolotls I will be getting everything we need from Fort Wagg!"

"Took my dog there for her first ever groom. Even though she was scared and a huge ***hole, they were great. Talked to the owner about dog food and got some good insight. When my dog was done, she came out smelling fresh and warmed up to her groomer. I know she’s a pain in the a**, so I’m happy that they took their time to give her the best experience possible even though she was scared. They gave me some good tips to get her ready for next time as well. 100% will be using them again."

"Easy to find and easy to park. I mainly come for the fish supplies. Dean is really nice and will help you out. Tanks are very clean and so is the store. Stop in and check them out. I would definitely recommend this store."
