Animal Island Pet Shop Claimed

「“This is the best day of my life” – me, 18x after stepping into the shop. I went here for the first time yesterday with a friend, and I am certain I will never use another pet store again! The employees are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they truly care about the health, safety, and happiness of the animals there. Unlike when I go to a Petco or a Petsmart, I felt like I could ask questions and get real answers and recommendations! I really enjoyed the selection of products as well as live animals and insects. It was wonderful being able to share my passion for the fish hobby; you can tell the employees understand that your animals are your family and they care! 1,000,000/10 would recommend.」

「A few years ago, the employees here rescued a baby ferret that had been purchased and then severely neglected. She was malnourished, had an infected ear, and had forgotten how to play. From what I heard, the employees pooled their personal money together to buy her back, and then took her to the Greater Chicago Ferret Association. I ended up adopting her from there. She passed away a month ago, too young at 4 and 1/2 years old, from an unexpected illness. But even that time was a blessing and a second chance at life. Her name was Brownie and she was the best, most cuddly, sweetest, funniest, most playful ferret ever, and she got to live her life to the fullest thanks to the employees here. I am so grateful.」

「Awesomeness all around. Probably some of the best choices of fish, snakes spiders and everything you can think of. Definitely gonna keep coming back.」

「Animal Island Pet Shop is hands-down our family’s go-to for all things creepy, crawly, and scaly! Jason, the owner, is such an awesome guy… super friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does. This has become my favorite spot for spiders and tarantulas, and I trust them completely. My adult kids are hooked, too. They come here for everything from their tarantula to their bearded dragon and snake needs. It’s basically our one-stop shop for feeding and caring for all of our critters. The staff is always incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help with questions, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned exotic pet owner. You can tell they truly care about the animals. Everything is well-maintained, and the animals are healthy and well cared for. If you’re into reptiles, invertebrates, fish, or anything unique, this place is a gem. Highly recommend checking them out. You might just find your new favorite pet (and favorite pet store.)」
