Home Grown Pets - Pet supply store in Marion - 999 44th St Suite 2000, USA

This place is AWESOME—and refreshing to visit if you’re used to a big chain pet store. I have been researching and shopping for tarantulas for my daughter for a little while. I visited several pet stores in the area and none of them had knowledge about spiders. Even worse, they weren’t even properly keeping them, as is pretty common with places like that. Anyway, I decided to check out Home Grown Pets. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the man at the counter owned tarantulas and that he had a lot of experience and knowledge. He was able to answer every question I had and I decided to purchase one right then and there. The way they are kept here in comparison to other places is WORLDS better. The spiders are kept in the right type of enclosure and are fed a variety of things. The price was reasonable and far less than other places I shopped. They sent me with a tank and everything in it for a great bundle price and we are LOVING having this pet so far—I see more in our future. Thanks for the great experience! I wish more places were ethical and knowledgeable like the folks are at Home Grown Pets.

I really enjoyed my first visit to homegrown pets. They have a variety of small pets including birds , reptiles, ferrets and guinea pigs. They also had some fish. It is a rather large warehouse style setup. And they had a couple of birds who run free in the area. The staff was a very helpful. They did not have exactly what I was looking for but they were able to suggest a suitable alternative. The prices are reasonable and I will definitely be visiting again.

Steven showed me and a friend the neatest time at Home Grown Pets. He spent time one-on-one easily introducing us to some new animals. Wonderful experience to new small animals. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This place is amazing!! I go here when I need items for my rabbits. They have top of the line product and are very knowledgeable. Not only have I brought products from this place but I also brought all 4 of my rabbits from this place as well. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have my lovely animals

I have had several parrots in the past bought directly from the breeder that knew what they were doing. They started hand feeding their parrots at three weeks which made it easier for the birds to bond with humans. In just a matter of days the bird would come to us and after a week or so would fly out and land on my head. My daughter recently gave us a Green Quaker Parrot we were thrilled at having a parrot again, but after 2 months of hand feeding the bird still backs away from me unless I have food in my hand. Paying $600 for a bird is a lot of money, but paying $600 for a bird that was not raised properly is outrageous and unethical for the breeder.

Quite possibly the most rude and uncomfortable customer service. We traveled quite a ways to visit this place, and the girl would never bother to look at me, instead looked at my wife when answering all of my questions, and was generally more interested in selling than answering.. I've got a biology and animal science background, working with herps for decades, as a career, so I might be more particular than some about things, but this was just silly to me... It was easy to not spend any money in there after a few tries. Went in to literally spend an obscene amount of money in supplies and herps and inverts, and just got stopped short at every turn. Maybe we'll be back, but as a general rule, 1st time is usually the charm. Not a bad place, but just expect a poor professional atmosphere.

Actually the best pet shop. The people who work there are the KINDEST, sweetest people and so helpful and intelligent! 🥺👌🏼 They have the BEST bug selection for reptiles, lots of healthy choices of geckos and snakes and other reptiles!!

They offer a wide array of products, from food to medicine all the way to animals. They even had plants. It was our first time in the store, and you could tell we weren't sure where we were going. It would have been nice to have been greeted when we entered and asked if we needed help. There were 2 employees working, and at least one was behind the counter when we walked in and when we checked out. Great store otherwise.
