Questions
Before you visit
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk-ins are welcome any time we're open. Hours are at the bottom of every page.
Is the animal I saw online still there?
Our staff update the board from the store floor, but animals go fast. Call (973) 396-8897 or message us on Instagram before you drive over.
Do I have to buy supplies with my pet?
Yes. Every animal goes home with the food, vitamins and setup it needs. We'll go through it with you.
Will you sell me any animal I ask for?
Not always. We ask how you plan to house and feed the animal. If it isn't a good match, we'll tell you and help you find one that is.
Are exotic pets legal in New Jersey?
Many are, but some species need a permit, and towns can have their own rules. Ask us about the animal you want and where you live.
Can you take a pet I can no longer keep?
We re-home animals, including ones from animal control. Call (973) 396-8897 first so we can make room.
Do you sell food and supplies?
Yes: food, enrichment toys and treats, and the supplies each animal needs. Ask us about anything specific.
Do you host birthday parties?
Yes. Kids get hands-on time with our animals and our staff run the whole thing. Send a request on the Parties page.
Is there parking?
Yes, on-site parking at 143 Broadway, Elmwood Park.
