Great atmosphere, helpful employees and great selection of pet & Garden supplies. Family owned and operated. Teskes is turning 100 next March!
Better than expected! The animals were housed in clean environments showing the employees truely care.
THANK YOU Teske for helping us find our fur baby. We love her and the staff are extremely supportive. We even got some dog food theyve been eating for an easier transition.WARNING: if you want a puppy in the future, you better call exactly when they open. We kept getting the busy tone and finally our phone call went through(2-min later) and 7 pups were already reserved. They go fast!! Make sure you are ready for the responsibility.
Great place, great options, and awesome personal. They were super friendly and patient. I will definitely go back soon for more fish!
I love it there was one dog there that I love and they let play with it outside and everything so 100% recommended if you need pets
There was a LOT of empty cages and the birds were all blocked off. Theres cages in the floor and the store is just a bit messy. The fish though seem to be well maintained with a lot of specialty fish Ive actually never seen before. Their bettas look really healthy. I was potentially interested in a bird feeder but theyre super pricey (some $50!?)Theres potential here, just get the store cleaned up and the animals replenished.
Always love going here. The staff is really friendly
Great and kind staff, plus a wonderful variety of potential pets at great prices! Also will take care of your pets while your on vacation, great place, highly recommend!
They are a great help and they will help you find what you need and they are very nice
Been going there for years. Their stores are clean and well organized. The people working there are great . Pets are healthy. Love it
The people who work here are extremely kind and knowledgeable!
Out looking for flowers for the new planting season. They have great choices to choose from. Staff was very helpful in explaining the flowers and how to take care of them. We did purchase a few items to spruce up our yard.
We arrived to Teske on a cold December afternoon ....looking for a puppy but unsure what breed we had in mind. The outside of the store was decorated like a Christmas card with strands of colored lights and a Christmas tree lot out in the front. Snow was coming down like crazy with a big snowstorm on the horizon and we had to get home so this was our last stop. Christmas music was playing both outside and inside the store. As we walked in we noticed that there were many people in the store and they seemed to be gathered around a small “corral” enclosure with hay in the bottom of it. As my husband and I walked over to it, we saw 10 golden retriever puppies playing...growling and jumping. They were adorable and needless to say, we left with our Maggie girl. She is a smart, lovable, obedient glue that holds our family together. We love this store for the gift that it gave to US on that snowy Sunday afternoon. Thank you, Teske Pet and Garden. So much.
Knowledgable staff, excellent customer service, they care about there customers and needs, i strongly dislike the quad cities and most of the businesses are awful, but not this one!
This is my favorite lawn and garden store. Lots of plant choices and plants are healthy. Not overly priced.
Love this place! Friendly staff! A large variety of plants for the garden or flower pots.
Everyone here is so helpful. We are very grateful to the staff at Teskes for all they did and do to help us with our sweet little deaf dog. Thank you all.
I went to the store today and it was our first time the staff were very friendly and helpful
Always a pleasant experience. Staff is knowledgeable and ready to help if needed. A simple question always gets a simple but experienced answer.
Very knowledgeable and professional staff!
Great place to shop, and very kind and knowledgeable . We searched the quad cities for the perfect urn for our fur baby. And found the one at this shop, the woman who helped us was very helpful and went above an beyond to make the process easier for us. Thank you.
Nice store with a decent selection. I always buy our frozen mice here. The animals look well cared for and the prices are reasonable.
Found speciality poting items and unusual plants
Man, these people are wonderful! So kind and you could tell they loved animals. We dealt with Julie & Jill. Sooo helpful, and knowledgeable. Well be back!
I love visiting Teskes. Always did as a kid to see the animals and always do as an adult to care for my own pets....and you never outgrow wanting to see the puppies, kitties, rabbits and birds. Great service and you are supporting local!
Super friendly and helpful staff. I usually catch the name of the employee assisting me and I really wish I would have. She was so helpful and my two rowdy boys didnt stop her from getting me the information I needed. Will be back :)
Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. I mainly go there for supplies for my ball pythons, and theyre always very helpful and knowledgeable. They can always get me the feeder mice And rats, I need to take care of my animals. Their water program is always great as well. They take great care and taking care of their animals and making sure they are healthy. I highly recommend them.
Walked in and seen 3 workers, nobody greeted us. Walked right past us . The lady who was working with the birds today(Wednesday March 3, 2021 around 1:30pm) was really rude. Asked her questions and just sat there at looked at us and said nothing, then walked away. I have been to the one in Moline and it is the ONLY one I will be going to ever again . Bettendorf location has rude staff and very messy.
I have a 4 ft..Ball python snake and he loves Teske live healthy white mice 👍👍👍👍 Thank you Teske for clean& safe mice for my Snake. BOBO . He thanks you to.. I only buy mice from Teske pet & Garden in Bettendorf Iowa its a great place to go👍🏅🏅🏅🏅
Emily is amazing.. such a great person and was very Helpful
Love going here
Please dont.
I love Teskes I have bought my amazing Dutch rabbit from them and she is just the sweetest most kind bunny I’ve ever met! I have gone there many many times and the service is always amazing and they have bigger bags for cheaper then my local outdoor needs store! Definitely recommend for anyone for any pet needs!!!
Great people and great variety of pets, supplies, and gardening items. We regularly take our dog here when we come to buy something or look at the animals they have for sale. They have dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents, insects, and a lot more. We have purchased several dogs from them and have always have good experiences (though I’d always recommend adopting or buying directly from a reputable breeder if you can).Their prices for supplies and items are sometimes slightly higher than the big box pet stores and Amazon, but you get great service and support a local establishment by shopping here. They have many seasonal items here as well including plants, flowers, and even Christmas trees. The kids have always loved coming here and we will continue to support them.Highly recommended!
Wonderful experience..found my new fur baby!! White pom puppy she is so adorable and a sweetheart!! Kennedy was just awesome to work with. I would recommend Teske Pet & Garden for pet or garden needs.
They get you every time with those cute puppies. Cute small store. Wish it was a little bigger.
I buy a very particular brand of cat food for my sensitive tummy girl. Teskes stocks it just for me. They know about how often I buy the food, what size bag I like, and recognize me when I come in. They always have a bag of the food every time I need it. Im so glad to be supporting this lovely local business who truly gives great customer service.
Friendly place with a unique selection. Theres not enough pet supply and pet stores like this one.
The staff are always friendly and helpful.
I needed ant poison, and the staff didnt seem helpful or knowledgeable about the products at all. People typically go to places like this instead of Walmart for the service.
My family and friends have been customers for decades. We will NEVER step foot on their property ever!! They are selling puppy mill puppies!! Not only that they have received several citations against them from the USDA which is difficult to do since they dont do their job. If you purchase puppies from them you are contributing to animal abuse!! If you love animals please do NOT buy from pet stores or online. There is no reason for this except pure greed!! Dont buy anything from them, get them to stop this horrible abuse!!
Great for pet supplies.
I really like going here to visit the puppies and other animals. They seem to treat them pretty well and most of them come from privite breeders instead of puppy Mills. The only thing is that they dont let you hold then if your not 19 or dont have an adult with you and the dog cages dont look very clean
Love looking at the puppies when theyre in. Lots of pet supplies as well. Flowers when in season are great too.
I dont know who likes this place better. Me or my cockatoo. Since I work full time and normally have things to do on my day off, I will bring the little guy over for a visit while I go out and get things done. They are always willing to have him over and I can tell by the way that he reacts that they take very good care of him. The employees always give him a lot of attention and love. Their selection of plants and parrot food is also pretty good. I would recommend this place for anyone who is looking for lovely plants, pet food and toys, or just want to get their four-legged or feathered friend out of the house.
My fiancee and I purchased a lovebird from here two weeks from me writing this review. The friendly staff take great professional care of the birds there until theyre weaned and ready to go home. We visit our lovebird very frequently, and were always greeted with a smile from the staff who are always willing to help. Great atmosphere with people who know what theyre talking about.
I dont have an experience - my wife and I have years of experiences and that is why Teskes is always our first place for pets and plants. Julie and her crew are always there to help and provide professional and personal service. We almost always adopt our cat children from Teskes and buy all our pet supplies from them. You can shop other places but never have the experience available always at Teskes Bettendorf.
Great space with wonderful people! Everyone is very helpful.
Everyone were so helpful and polite. The store was very clean and the isles were clear of clutter. I will definitely return to the store again. I am glad that I choose the Davenport location.
Teskes continues to be the best place to go for good plants and great advice.
Decent little garden store. Although the puppies seem expensive for what appears to be dogs straight out of a puppy mill.
I like the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the variety of animal Care items they offer outside of the typical cat and dog. My only concern was one of the feeder mice did not look healthy, it was missing a chunk of fur on its back. This could affect other mice and the animal your feeding it too. I mentioned it to a worker, but they didnt seem concerned over it. Maybe it was ok, but it was disconcerting to see.
Had a fainting spell while shopping. A n employee gave me her water bottle from their break room. The service is always great. They will load plants in your vehicle. Employees are knowledgeable and helpful. If they dont have what you want they will try to order it. Prices are quite reasonable compared to other garden centers. Selection is enormous. Will not shop anywhere else for my plants. Suggest they enlarge the selection of garden decorations and all will be well.
Very knowledgeable staff that shows great care for the animals theyre selling. Very well taken care of kittens and puppies, theyre fish and reptile department is spectacular.
Where I buy my top soil
The people are always very nice there. The puppies are ADORABLE and all animals seem to be properly picked up after and fed. The people are very knowledgeable and the store is clean.
The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable with our purchases.
Everyone is always very nice and helpful in finding what you need. If they dont have it theyll order it if they can.
One of my favorite places for fish and small animals.
Just stopped to explore. Definitely enjoyed the visit there. Workers all were nice, helpful and actually answered any questions.
Very professional and lovely selection! I came to look for a grown female Ball Python, and they had a new girl right there! I took her home the next day and fell in love with her. Shes beautiful and the best snakes Ive ever owned. She has scars from other owners, but they assured me she was healthy and friendly, and she was! If you want to get a certain animal in this small area, try and go here!
Always friendly staff and will find the right plants
Great people . Great stuff . Very helpful
Nice place with a good selection and helpful staff.
I love teskes. The people are generally very kind and helpful and theres always a lot of good supplies. They also allow you to handle animals with employees which is fun!
Fun
Wonderful, caring staff. Remembers our names, frequently engages my son in talks about the animals. Even gave him a shed snakeskin, which he thought was the coolest.
The puppies they sell come from puppy mills, if you ask for information about the breeder they will tell you that the breeders information is private and cannot be shared, that is a sign that the puppies are from a puppy mill obviously the breeder is trying to hide something if you can’t have information about them.
I love this place.I got both of my Rabbits and hope 1 dog too.I also get all my bird stuff there. The staff is great and helping..
The teenaged employees have no idea what they’re doing. They’ll stare at you for fifteen minutes before one of them realizes a cash register needs to be involved.
Teskes is a good place to buy fish. They also sell fish tank decor (fake plants, live plants, items fish can hide in) and products for your fish (food, mag floats, gravel vacs etc). Ive always found the staff friendly and some of them are very knowledgeable of fish species, compatibility, school sizes etc. If the person helping you doesnt know the answer, theyll find someone who does. Ive had better luck with fish purchased from here than ones purchased at Petco or Petsmart.
Bought a kitten here few days ago. They were so nice and so helpful. First time purchasing a pet here and it was a wonderful experience.
Love it my man looks around for mice and pet things and I look around for herbs its 2 and one for the both of us
Interesting little garden and pet center. They have some nice vegetable choices and their flower selection is small but interesting choices along with some of the basics. They have a little of everything with a convenient location in the center of town.
People are very friendly and helpful. They even looked something up on the computer for me.
I love this place. Nice people. Nice community. Helps the local small business. Great quality
They always have a nice variety of live plants for the garden in the spring.
Always a great visit with BFF the wonder dog. Staff is friendly, helpful and, of course very pet friendly. The plant selections in the spring afr varied and always contain a few surprises that you won’t find at big box garden centers
Cages were clean, animals well fed, and decent prices! Very happy w the parakeet and cage we got. Will be back!
Great selection, excellent customer service. Staff is always willing to give helpful advice without being obnoxious, a desired approach your customers appreciate!
They have amazing homemade dog treats. Staff is so caring and helpful! Love coming here.
Fun place to visit with the fam. Good local pet shop
No black petunias
Knowledgable friendly staff, great selection of plants, and the pets they have are very well cared for!
Wonderful local business with super friendly staff!
Lots of nice houseplants, but really expensive. Inside the store, it was nice, but really smelly. I loved the animals, especially, the beautiful white cockatoo.
Very friendly employees. Kristi was very helpfu and knowledgeable. We also enjoyed making the bird feeder pinecones
The staff here is so helpful and pleasant. We look for any reason just to stop or pick up garden supplies.
Great place for pet supplies and super friendly staff. Very helpful.
Great lawn and garden expertise and the products to solve the problems. They help solve the problem first and not just sell you something. If its the wrong season to take care of an issue, they wont sell you the product, just pet you know when you should come in to get it, or do something that they dont sell. Animals are good as well.
Clean, nice pet store👍
Very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff!
Employees looked stoned, that or just apathetic. Either way doesnt bode well. Funny thing is, they perked up when asking me to post a positive review online! Place is disorganized and just plain odd. Indifferent and unknowledgeable employees. Could not answer any of my questions. Pet smart here i come.
I love this store, for both my pets needs and for my gardening fix! I have always been helped and treated very well. I appreciate how caring the staff are for their live animals for sale. Cages are always ckean, and the animals are well.
Lots of fish and accessories for pets but few animals.
Fish tanks full of dead fish. Multiple dead fish per tank, some have been there for a couple of days.
Love this place! They really care about their animals and customers. 😊
They sold me a sick puppy with Giardia parasite for 800.00 and my min poodle might not live. He had bloody diarrhea 3 hrs after i bought him. My puppy is in the hospital with an iv and on meds. This puppy was for my son 7th birthday.
