Preuss Pets is an awesome store my wife and I just recently took our daughter there to look around and we could have had a better experience! The staff was so friendly and very attentive. They asked any questions you had and were quick to do it. The selection they have is just out of this world and I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for great prices and unique exotic animals. Even if you just go to look around it's a great time for the family!

This is the coolest pet store I've ever been to. From the outside, you can tell it's going to be special! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, and you can tell that they take pet ownership very seriously here. They offer classes and it looks like they'll help you get started if you're new to the exotic pet or aquarium world. This would be a great place to take the kids on a rainy day - it's almost like visiting a zoo.
Lots of lizards, frogs, spiders, scorpions, ferrets, birds and FISH! So many fish! Freshwater and saltwater. HUGE tanks. So many beautiful corals. And ANYTHING you could want to decorate your tank. From false plants to real ones, Spongebob houses to driftwood. Amazing! There is a waterfall outside and a huge sculpture creature - you can't miss it! I'd recommend this place for anyone visiting the Lansing area, for sure.

One of the coolest pet stores I've ever been to. We got to look at lots of birds. There was sooo many fish there. They sold the suckers with the bugs in them. It was very neat on the inside and out.
