Adventure Pets

As you step through the doors of Mandeville’s Adventure Pets, the gurgle of the Koi pond draws you in as the fish vie for attention. “You are allowed to feed the fish, and they know it,” owner Stephen Creech explains. And then you are ushered in by Minnie, his tiny Chihuahua.

The field trip continues with many live animals—rabbits, birds, ferrets, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, even the occasional hedgehog! Freshwater and saltwater fish dart about tanks, and birds fill beautiful cages as if precious jewels. The reptile section contains snakes, lizards and small tortoises. Come to inspect the array of animals and leave with a new family pet!

Stephen and Rachael Creech realized a dream in 2001 when they opened their first store. In September, celebrate 20 years with them, both at the latest Mandeville location and the new, slightly smaller Adventure Pets Covington, which carries all the food and gear needed to take care of your dog, cat or small pet with the same quality and considerations with regards to products that loyal customers appreciate.

Customer service and product knowledge are key to the Creech philosophy. “Our relationships with our customers are very important to us,” says Stephen. Their biggest goal is to set pet owners up for a successful experience while offering the safest habitats and supplies that work for each type of animal. Pet specialists are available to guide and answer questions.

Stephen and Rachael love dogs, and leashed dogs are always welcome. Both stores have many choices in dog food, treats, toys and accessories, but Rachael assures, “We do not carry any products that we would not take home to our own pets.”

Pet adoption is important to the Creeches. Rachael says, “We love helping families add dogs to their household.” They host groups such as Greyhound Pets of America/Louisiana-Mississippi Chapter and Honey Dew Dog Rescue

Whether searching for a lifelong companion or another small animal friend, Adventure Pets is the place for assistance. The knowledgeable owners and staff are ready to help you make an informed choice. Just walk through the doors!
