Pet Supplies Plus opens in Sarasota - Sarasota Herald-Tribune

Posted: 07 Feb 2020 12:00 AM PST

The franchise is owned by Michigan native Tom Dammer, who moved to Sarasota about a year ago.

A national pet supply store franchise has opened its first Sarasota location near Interstate 75.

Pet Supplies Plus, a goods and services retailer with more than 450 locations across the U.S., has opened a store at 5380 Fruitville Road in Sarasota.

The franchise owner is Tom Dammer, a Michigan native who moved to Sarasota a year ago. Dammer and his wife were frequent shoppers at Pet Supplies Plus when they lived in Michigan, and they loved it so much that they decided to open one of their own.

"Our 'minus the hassle' tagline refers to making shopping for your pet an enjoyable, easy experience. For example, we don't want you lugging your food out to your car – that's our job. If you want to wash your dog, come on in. We'll deal with the mess that's tied to a bathing session," Dammer said.

The store sells natural pet foods, goods and pet services with a focus on the in-store experience. Team members are well-versed on natural and holistic foods and can answer a broad range of questions on dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and fish.

Full-service grooming and self-service dog washes are available. And, of course, dogs are always welcome.

The store is in a Fruitville Road plaza owned by Benderson Development Co. of Manatee County, next to Target. Also coming soon to the plaza is a Sports Clips men's hair salon, according to permit applications filed with Sarasota County.

Other tenants include Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt and Humble Donuts and Dollar Tree.

Grand opening celebrations at Pet Supplies Plus are scheduled to begin Saturday. Complimentary nail trims and dog washes will be available Saturday and Sunday, and customers will have a shot at a one-year supply of dog or cat food over the weekend.

There will also be an adoption event with Underdog Rescue on Saturday.

Pet Supplies Plus is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call 941-893-1440 or visit petsuppliesplus.com.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
