This place is the real deal! Don't go in expecting it to be like a chain store or big box retailer, this is a local establishment with an amazing amount of stock and very, very knowledgeable staff! I was visiting from LA and had a conversation with Dale, the store owner (I was visiting family in Corvallis). He proudly showed his rare species, some even breeding in the tanks! Plants are plentiful, some that Dale grew in his own greenhouse. He even had a filter impeller I couldn't find anywhere in Southern California nor online! I worked many (many) years ago at a similar business, plus I frequent several LFS (local fish stores) in my area. Animal House is one of the more impressive stores I've ever visited. Once again, you can save a couple of dollars online or at a chain, yet local businesses offering the services provided by Animal House need to be supported. I'm making it a priority to visit this business again in the near future.

Just saying this as someone who browsed and not didn't buy anything:Very claustrophobic feeling (especially for a big and tall guy like me), but once you get past that this place is a pet owner's dream! Staff were nice and the selection of reptiles, birds and especially fish were so broad and diverse and something I've never seen in ANY other pet store in the Willamette Valley. Resonable prices too, would recommend!

The owner takes old cages and resells them for much cheaper i got one for an amazing deal because it needed a new lid and he helped me pick out some economical and effective equipment for it

Conditions for the rodents are absolutely horrendous. Dead animals seen in buckets and many rats crammed into small tanks clearly distressed and in poor health. I’m not sure how this place is allowed to operate under these conditions. Please do not support this cruel place.

This is my go-to local fish store. Dale has a fantastic selection of fish and has been extremely helpful in setting up my tanks and has given me great advice when I have issues with my fish or water quality. Carlos and Robin are super competent and friendly when I stop in as well. Excellent LFS!

Interesting combinations of pets and they do seem to care for them and keep the place clean.Large fish selection, good reptile selection. Their prices might not be the cheapest but the quality is usually there to make up for it.

The lady that works there I'd say is a bit pushy. Seems she doesn't like ya looking idk?. Anyway otherwise it's a good shop but they definitely need more room hahaha

The employee who helped me was awesome, very knowledgeable, and patient with us. He was also very thorough with all of my questions and concerns. It was quite literally the experience you want to have when you're not sure about what animals get along with each other. I will be coming back! Thank you for helping me and my family out!

So so so so good!! 100/5 stars! They are so nice and great for pets that aren't cats or dogs! They have everything from squaky bird friends to creepy crawly friends! There prices are good and you get great quality items and service! It is a bit warm so don't wear too many layers. It has to be specific tempatures for the animals inside.

Animal health and state of the enclosures were troubling the many times I have visited. Many live animals are very overpriced and not in good condition. They knowingly sell sick fish to customers which is unacceptable. Dry goods are overpriced and a lot of perishable items are either very close to expiration or expired because they don't have a fast enough turnover on them. They are a small business and can price things however they want to stay profitable, but I recommend going elsewhere for pretty much anything pet related you might need to save money and get higher quality goods.

Favorite place for aquarium fish and supplies! The staff is amazingly helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. I will never go to a Big Box pet store again!

It's a small space with a lot of stuff but the people are knowledgeable and friendly. I used to know a fish breeder who always recommended this place because they take good care of their stock.

Great service, helpful and knowledgeable staff, and a wonderful environment! They know about animals and care about them, and the products they choose to carry definitely reflect that. Their delivery service has helped keep my disabled household together during this pandemic, and I can't express how grateful for that I have been. They definitely have a loyal customer in me ♡
