About

Buckles is a full service pet business that provides customers with a variety of cuddly or exotic pets, pet supplies, and pet food in the Lafayette, West Lafayette, and surrounding areas.

Story

Buckles Feed Depot and Pet Supply was started in 1977 by Bill Buckles in the old CSX Railroad depot at 400 North Salem Street in Lafayette Indiana. His goal was to provide a source of quality animal feed and pet foods to the Tippecanoe County area, not just Lafayette, and West Lafayette. Bill's goal of helping pets and pet owners was achieved and surpassed through hard work and countless hours in the small overcrowded depot. During the summer of 1991, Bill was joined by his son, Mike, at the same time Lafayette began its local railroad relocation. The small depot was one of the first casualties of the city's transformation. After a careful search and the desire to cling to their downtown roots, Bill and Mike purchased the old Crown Laundry at 4th and Romig, and made this large warehouse style building their new home. Soon this building became the Buckles Feed Depot and Pet Supply that you still see there today.

During the next fifteen years Buckles evolved through trial and error, and by the suggestions of our customers we now carry a complete selection of pet supplies, along with the pets as well. Our hours have expanded to meet demand, and our employees have grown from two to seven. By sticking to our original goals and by taking advantage of the new resources and suppliers available to our company, we really can say, "We feed 'em all."

I really enjoy their selection and price on small animal supplies as few big box stores even have the variety they do. However, I was let down to see the cages that the small animals were kept in. Some cages were better cleaned and had more toys than others. They had a chinchilla this past summer that looked like he was starting to chew his fur because he was so bored since he only had one wood toy to chew on. As someone who owns chinchillas, they do need a lot of enrichment to keep themselves stimulated and happy. The staff do seem to care about the welfare of the animals, but a little extra knowledge and effort can go a long way to have healthy animals.

Great place to shop for all your pet needs. They have a nice selection of birds, reptiles, rats, rabbits and ferrets. Don't forget to say hello I Marley (the stores resident 🐕) while you're there. Friendly, helpful staff.

This was probably the most disgusting pet store ever seen in my life. I drove all the way from Kokomo to take a look at the pet rats that were available. I was looking for females and there were only two females available on the floor. A store employee took me to the back room to see if there were any female babies available. What I saw was shocking! There were two dead, decaying rats and another rat in the process of dying. It was buried in urine soaked bedding, slowly moving it's back legs. The employe didn't seem phased by this. She said, "Whoever worked Friday must not have taken them out." She then proceeded to show me a female baby from that same bin. I told her I didn't want to get a rat from a bin that had 3 dead rats in it. She said, "There are only two." The smell of ammonia in that back room was horrible. I heard many of the rats sneezing, clearly in respiratory distress. As I walked away, she walked out behind me. I asked her if she was going to remove the dead rats. She said yes, but returned to the register. I raise rats. There is no excuse for the level of filth in those bins. The rats clearly need antibiotics, regardless if they are for feeders or pets. There were a couple male rats on the floor that I may have considered purchasing until I saw the condition of your back room. With dead rats and the clear presence of respiratory disease, I would never bring anything from your store home to my own pet rats. As I left the store I could hear this female employee discussing what just happened with someone else.
