This place is going through a tough time. I think the owner, who is usually always there and very friendly and helpful, is experiencing some health issues and his hired help is running his business into the ground. Between my mom and I, we have stopped at the store 7 times during business hours in the past 2 months and they were always closed. These were on all different days of the week and weekend. One morning I waited for them to open and watched 2 other cars come up to give them business, but they left because the store didnt open. I thought they must be closed permanently? I went back an hour later, didnt look like any changes, but I tried the door and this time it opened! The curtains were drawn, and the open sign was not on, but I walked in. 2 men were there talking in the back. I yelled hello and waited by the front register. They ignored me for several minutes, then made their way to the front and continued to work around me and still ignore me. By the time he finally made it around to the register, I was pretty frustrated. As he was checking me out, I said he should probably turn the open sign on as I had seen other cars come and leave since they looked closed, and that I had thought they were permanently closed recently. He explained that that was the owners fault that he doesnt show up on his days due to health problems (Mon, Tues, Wed) I didnt tell him I had been stopping by on other days too and they werent open because he got an attitude and told me that he has kids and a life and thats y he wasnt open on time. Very rude. Im pretty sure he hasnt been opening the shop at all, as I think I just lucked into walking in even though they looked closed.I hope the owners health gets better and he comes back. I like supporting small business, but I plan to take my business elsewhere till he gets his shop back into order. I feel bad that he is entrusting his business to this employee who is running it into the ground. I wish someone would tell him!

This store is necessary for the Newton area. Pet supplies can be found there that are not being carried at Wal-Mart, at grocery stores, or even at the farm stores.This business saves me from being forced to make untimely trips into the city.It is a large place that is being run by part time staff, but they try their best to be open when you need them. Also, they post any changes in their hours on the door.I certainly hope they can stay open. The staff is always helpful and certainly knowledgeable as well.

Get a lot of my snake food here. Better prices, and better quality, than the big box stores. Personal service is a big plus.

Lots of stuff, the building just isnt as new or fancy looking as the bigger chain stores like Petco. Youll find some pretty cool stuff in here. They even have their talking parrot, Harley, who is a joy to see and talk to each time i go in.

I really liked this store. Prices on most items were fair. Selection was also fair. The floor space is huge in comparison to what the inventory is. The stores floor could use a little professional help. It appears to be family run and owned. I hope he has a decent profit margin.

Nice store. Animals looked well treated. Courteous and knowledgeable staff.Also go see the baby guinea pigs!

Found what I needed. Thermometer for my fish tank. Didnt work though but itd cost me more to get there to return it than I paid for it so I guess oh well. Bought a heater too. It worked ok

Id leave 0 stars if it would let me. Drove 70 miles for crickets and the place never opened. Were there at 11, and went by again at noon... sign said opens at 10... very unhappy. If they never open I wonder how the animals inside are being taken care of.

Last 6 months tried to buy feeder rat. Haven’t had any available. Not impressed with the owner. Had to drive to Wichita.

Good prices, great selection, really good service. Locally owned and operated. Not a big box chain store.

Tried calling multiple times and still got no answer. Website says they are open but I can’t get an answer and you can’t leave a callback number because the mailbox is full! 😠

Unique, exotic, rare animals! Family owned and operated too. Very cool.

The employees are all very nice and very helpful. And the animals are all well cared for.

It was a sad day. Pet world has closed down for good 😭

Very friendly people and nice supply of pets and accessories

Animals not taken care of. Looking into reporting to aspca

We were there at 10 when they were supposed to open and wasnt open. We needed fish and filter and some algae for tank. So if they arent going to be open put the business as closed down. Yay 10 minutes late and they open finally.

We was not impressed at all. We seen the sign while driving by and decided to stop. A lot of clutter especially back by the fish. Fish tanks were gross overgrowing with algea. Some tanks couldnt even see into them to see what was in them. First impression was not a good one.

You can tell theyre struggling to stay open, but best place to get pets and supplies in Newton. Fish, turtles, snakes, birds, gerbils, rabits, etc.

Very helpful found everything I needed.

Do not buy pets or pet food from this store pets are kept in very poor condition. They do not allow cameras for this reason.

Nice selection of animals but they are very underkept. The parrot needs its beak trimmed,And most of the animals are dying.

Decent place — lots of different products in here, so we were pleasantly surprised to find what we needed locally. Visit this place for helpful service and all your pet essentials!

Wonderful local pet store. Knowledge about what they sell.

Friendly and helpful. Good selection of pets

They dont push a sell on you and they are willing to spend time educating to the best of their abilities. I like the place.

Very knowledgeable staff great prices well care for animals

Lots of animal choices. A little sparse on items to take care of them with.

Horrible! Was speaking to my husband on the phone about what to pick up there. The owner told him he was price checking and to leave her store! No problem I will take my business elsewhere!

Drove an hour to purchase crickets the sign says opens at 10am and at 10:26 no one here! Worst experience ever

My kids had a great time in the store today. THANK YOU

This place is closed

This place looked like a ghost store! Nothing was in this place. No animals! A tank of gold fish! Unhappy!

Good price and nice people working there

The owner is very very knowledgable. He knows a ton about birds.

Very helpful but usually understaffed so service can be a bit slow.

They know snakes very well!

Only 2 kinds of expensive dog food. Dying animals. But friendly guy.

I have always had great service there. I buy supplies there for my fish tank, and oddly enough, I go there to by tanks and heating pads for newly hatched chickens.

Helpful staff and lots of pets to chose from.

Do not buy fish from here! Their fish have ick and fin rott! People should be arrested for such bad care of their animals. Rude and dumb as well!

Great selection and price

Very knowledgeable and informative owner

Friendly and fantastic service.

I love the fishes and turtles

Decent prices lots to choose from!

Great place lots of cool fish

Your never open Ive come 4 times to get fish and your not open Ive been coming between 1and3😡

Animals are kept in horrible conditions. Voiced my concern twice in person, and nothing got done . Eventually I reported this store to state inspections. Hopefully some changes will be made.

Run-down parking lot rough potholes

Dead fish in tanks...dark....

Owner/Manager is very rude. Will NEVER go here again!

Can be difficult to get food for reptiles from here.
