Service Options and Contract Pricing

B&B Pet Stop can provide service to you in several ways:

ONE TIME VISIT: No contract, no obligation. This is perfect for the busy hobbyist, a quick cleaning right before a party, or when you're on vacation. Also, makes a GREAT gift!

CONTRACT: Here, we provide guaranteed, scheduled service once or twice a month at a lower price. Since prices are subject to change, contracts allow you to lock in prices for one year. Without a contract, service is performed as time permits.

NOTE: In order to be considered under contract, B&B Pet Stop must have a signed agreement on file and receipt of first and last month’s service fee.

 
 For our customers under contract, we have a
90 Day FULL REPLACEMENT Livestock Guarantee.
This guarantee is valid as long as B&B Pet Stop maintains the aquarium, stocks the fish on a cleaning visit, and when supplementation and feeding are performed as directed by the maintenance technician.
All livestock and aquarium products must be purchased from B&B Pet Stop. ANY deviation from these terms voids this guarantee.
