Wild Side

I love this store! I have received great advice from their staff that is always ready to help. They helped me set up my fish tank. They provide very good quality cat food from great companies (you won't find nasty byproduct stuff in there :P ). I also got my Kachita (short tail opossum) from them as well. They provided so much more information than I ever going online and have such a variety for my critter eat (he loves the goliath worms). I love the fact that I get great, personable assistance, quality items, and I'm supporting a wonderful local, small business. Oh, and I love their new Lakewood location! more

I was skeptical after reading poor reviews. I saw a little Italian Greyhound online & knew I had to meet her. The gal spent 20min sitting on a bench w/me, giving me info on foods, temperament, & making sure we would be a good fit ? not that I was just smitten w/a puppy. I?ve adopted & purchased dogs from breeders & this puppy is hands down the most well mannered, sociable, cuddle bug. more

Great fun store to shop. Very knowledgeable staff and great healthy happy puppies. They have a selection of stuff most of the bigs stores do not have. more

Overcrowded dog kennels, with questionable histories (which is a REALLY nice way of saying they buy their puppies from puppy mills), I love that they sell mix breed dogs as designer dogs with RIDICULOUS prices. 1 out of every 4 dogs has giardia or Parvo. I would never buy from this awful place. more

The OWNER is completely rude. I was asking an employeee about a bird in the store I was interested in purchasing, specifically the age, some random lady starts rambling on about info on it......I had no idea who she was or why she was even talking to me. So the first employee who knew nothing directed me to another. He asked me if I had questions so I again asked about the age of the bird, he said he would try and find out. So that first crazy rambling lady runs from the back with the second employee yelling at me telling me ""Im the owner of the store!! I told you I dont know how old it is. You want me to lie? Fine its 4 years old, put on the paper its 4!"" So here is everyone staring at us, employees and customers.....how embarassing for that OWNER. So I walked out with my daughter in tow crying her eyes out. more

good store with experience with many kinds of animals, personally have had help with turtles, fish birds, dogs and cats. great foods and no junk. Pros: interesting animals, care about your pets more

Forget the big box stores. If you're looking for sound advice about pet care and products, this is your place. The owners and staff not only care deeply about the animals in their shop, but they care about your pets at home too! Wild Side is a great resource for healthy, natural pet foods and they also handle a wide variety of exotic animals that most pet stores won't touch. Whether you're looking for a new pet or just a better way to take care of your current critters, you should definitely make a trip to Wild Side soon! Pros: Exotic pets, knowledgable staff Cons: There's only 1 location! more

this place has some cool animals but are you serious? nobody knows what in the hell they are talking about and you'll get completely different answers from everyone you talk to. dont believe me? go in and ask one person something and ask another and youll get totally different answers! if a person is going to get hired at an exotic pet store, they should be trained on EVERY animal. they are OVER priced and their store is a mess. water all over the floor...its great that theres an exotic pet store around, but it just seems like being the only one around, theyd treat their customers better. a few of them are very rude. i heard they dont take very good care of their animals, and i have to believe it seeing as how they treat their customers. if youre going to sell your animals for double what other people do, take care of them! feed them the right diet, hold them from day one, and treat your customers with some respect! stop giving different answers to the same question!!! Pros: nothing Cons: everything more

I went to this store last week to see what all the fuss is about. I was greeted at the door by a young man who was quite polite and asked if I had any questions your was looking for anything in paticular. When I said no, he was still polite and told me to take my time looking around and ask if I had questions. Pros: friendly staff (talked to 3 different people while i was there) really neat atmosphear Cons: The food was a little more expensice then what I was feeding before, but with out the itching and no more meds from the vet, I say it was well worth it more

this ""store"" has the worst customer service of any pet shop I have ever been to , I ordered a wheel through them which I was told would be a week at the most , it has been 2 months and still no wheel , when I call to get answers I either get hung up on or treated with no respect , also about a year ago I bought a hedgehog from them and within a week this hedgehog that I had gotten very attached to died , the vet told me it was a disease that it was born with and that anybody who was handling and selling animals should have been able to detect this , they overcharge for almost everything in thier store and they feed thier gliders unhealthy food , last but not least i ordered a cage through them the very first time I ever went to the store and never got a call back that should have been a clue to never go back Pros: nothing Cons: everything more
