While it does not carry fish or aquarium supplies based on available customer feedback, it has built a loyal following among pet owners in the La Crosse area for its curated selection of high-quality pet food and knowledgeable staff. The store's real strength lies in its team. Reviewers consistently praise the staff for their expertise in pet nutrition and their willingness to offer personalized product recommendations — whether it's calming treats for anxious pets, UTI prevention supplements for cats, or allergy-friendly options for sensitive dogs. Brands like Zignature dog food are popular picks among regulars. The shop also stocks a thoughtful selection of cat toys, including hard-to-find catnip-stuffed knit toys that one reviewer's cats can't get enough of. Grooming is another draw. Groomers Hannah and Susan receive frequent shoutouts for their skill with dogs of all sizes, from puppy cuts to regular maintenance grooming. Multiple reviewers describe the grooming experience as professional, friendly, and fairly priced. It's worth noting that Wags and Whiskers is not a live animal store — a point of confusion for some visitors expecting to find pets for sale. The inventory is focused on food, treats, and select supplies rather than a wide range of accessories or specialty equipment. A few reviewers have also flagged the 2.5% surcharge on electronic payments, so bringing cash is a smart move. For La Crosse pet owners who value personal service and quality nutrition products over big-box store variety, Wags and Whiskers delivers a reliable, community-centered shopping experience. The staff's genuine love for animals comes through in every interaction. ## Specializations - **Known For**: Premium Equipment, Knowledgeable Staff ## Highlights - Knowledgeable staff offering personalized pet nutrition advice - Popular grooming services with groomers Hannah and Susan - Curated selection of high-quality pet food and treats - Two locations serving La Crosse and Onalaska ## Brands Carried Zignature ## Customer Reviews **"Amber Krueger"** - 1/5 - 4 days ago > Wrong lication **"MJ"** - 5/5 - a week ago > My dogs love everything from here! **"Lisa Carmichael"** - 5/5 - a month ago > The staff's knowledge about their many products is so helpful, but their love of animals surpasses my expectations. Every staff member I've asked for advice from is so willing and experienced and has helped me several times!! **"Amy Kendrick"** - 5/5 - 9 months ago > The staff at both the La Crosse and Onalaska location are very friendly and knowledgeable. They have everything you need! **"Tina CH"** - 1/5 - a year ago > We stopped at the store today. It appears they sell more pet food than anything else. We were looking for a harness for a dog with some disability. They had nothing suitable. They did have harnesses for simple restraint.but nothing to help life a dog--nothing as nice--ie quality--as I've seen online. There were 3 staff people in this small store but there was no offer to assist. Like I said, plenty of food but very limited amounts of supplies. We wanted to give a small business a chance but are now headed to a large chain store. **"Gregory Woods"** - 5/5 - a year ago > Susan did a great job grooming my puppy. **"Diane Schulze"** - 5/5 - a year ago > I’ve been buying my fur babies food/treats here for years and always high quality. I take my pups here for grooming and it’s the best! Hannah or Susan(who is back with us) are amazing!♥️ **"ERIK"** - 5/5 - a year ago > Susan was really good with my puppy. Beautiful cut.very friendly and good customer service. Price was really was good. Definitely recommend. **"Paul R"** - 5/5 - a year ago > Great store. Friendly staff. Bring my dog here for grooming with Hannah. She is wonderful! **"Garet Wyatt"** - 2/5 - a year ago > The sign said this is a PET STORE. This Google title says it's a PET STORE. I entered the store and they have no pets... Only food. Maybe the sign should say Pet Food Store. ## Nearby Stores - [Aquatic Realmz Aquarium Maintenance & Design](https://www.fishstores.org/wisconsin/greenfield/aquatic-realmz-aquarium-maintenance-and-design) - Greenfield, WI - 4.9/5 - [Red Fish Blue Fish Aquatics](https://www.fishstores.org/wisconsin/madison/red-fish-blue-fish-aquatics) - Madison, WI - 4.9/5 - [The Companion Shop](https://www.fishstores.org/wisconsin/stevens-point/the-companion-shop) - Stevens Point, WI - 4.9/5 - [The Golden Guppy](https://www.fishstores.org/wisconsin/monona/the-golden-guppy) - Monona, WI - 4.9/5 - [Tristan's Tropical Fish LLC](https://www.fishstores.org/wisconsin/evansville/tristans-tropical-fish-llc) - Evansville, WI - 4.9/5 - [Advanced Aquarium Systems](https://www.fishstores.org/wisconsin/green-bay/advanced-aquarium-systems) - Green Bay, WI - 4.8/5 --- *Source: [FishStores.org](https://www.fishstores.org/wisconsin/la-crosse/wags-and-whiskers)* *Last updated: February 7, 2026*
