I have been shopping at Valpo Pet and Hobby for about 3yrs. now for both pet and hobby supplies. Yes their prices are MSRP but the help is great. I have about 15 fish that I have purchased from them. Their knowledge about fish is great. They even warned about fish that may not get along well. This is my first large tank and I couldn't have done it without the help of the staff at Valpo Pet and Hobby. I also have quite a few R/C cars and trucks. Their parts supply for the cars and trucks that I have is great. Sure I could probably find some parts cheaper online but I like to support my local businesses as should everyone else. I also enjoy the small personal feel of the shop. I will be shopping at this shop atleast once a month for as long as this shop is in business which I hope will be for a very long time.
