May 22: Kee's Pet Store

I'm here to tell all of you pet owners that there is life beyond Petsmart and Petco. And, no, I'm not referring to the trite selection one finds on the shelves of the local Target, WalMart and/or Meijer. This weekend, our family discovered the joy that is Kee's Aquarium and Pets. We went in seeking new gravel for our fish tank, and we left with smiles on our faces (not to mention new gravel for our fish tank). See, I might have mentioned here that we have snails in our fish tank. Instead of using some abrasive chemical substance that will likely kill our fish - maybe not now, but eventually - we elected to do the total aquarium cleansing thing. Since Petsmart is the original source of the snail problem, we turned to Kee's in hopes they would be our savior. That still remains to be seen, but we did enjoy the experience at Kee's. The help is very friendly, seemed quite knowledgeable and they have an array of animals that you can enjoy while you shop. If you ever do go, check out the saltwater tanks in the back. Very cool!
