Pet Stores in Forest Lake, MN

“Unfortunately after adding the 18 fish I purchased from this store to my fish tank, they developed ich and died. Along with them all but a small handful of the 30 ish fish I had before adding these ones, died aswell. I was very disappointed because I absolutely love this store. They have a very large and exotic selection, and though they can be a bit more expensive, they tend to offer some amazing deals.Once I discussed this matter with the owner of the store, he offered to work with me on rebuilding my tank to its former glory. The management at this store are very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Despite the rare hiccup I experienced on my last visit I will continue to shop at this store. Thank you Forest Lake Pets.”

“Great remodel. I have been coming here with my dad since I was four years old. I'm 36 now and bringing my son to grab feed, corn, dog products. Thank you for keeping the store alive!”

“Service here is incredible. Staff is always friendly, and I love popping in before dining at keys to greet kitties up for adoption or pick out a new dog toy.I feed my dog raw, but I like to have a dry food backup for traveling or simply for days we forget to thaw pup's meal. Finding a kibble that's NOT toxic is tough, and it's more challenging to find ones that are balanced and nutritious. We previously fed ORIJEN, but since Purina bought in them 2023, I've heard scary reports of the new formula making dogs sick. EEEK!So I was on a hunt for an ORIJEN alternative. I researched several products online in advance.CAUTION: If you feed your pet foods with more raw ingredients and negligible preservatives, you must ENSURE THE BAG IS AIRTIGHT, or your pet could get sick from the deteriorating food. (I learned the hard way; a bag that was shipped to me from another seller had "popped" the seal, and I didn't think through how critical the airtight factor was.)In an effort to confirm the "airtight" factor and quality ingredients, I decided that an in-person visit to Chuck's was necessary. Staff was very helpful for grabbing bags and reading/comparing labels with me. My finalists were Open Farm RawMix, Farmina N&D Grain-Free Quinoa | Digestion, and Farmina N&D Venison | Skin & Coat. While I love the freeze-dried component of Open Farm's RawMix, their bags were somewhat loose fitting. The Farmina bags were vacuum-packed with no question of freshness, so I opted for Farmina. Chuck has a satisfaction guarantee and was surpringly the same price or less than Chewy or Amazon, which also made me feel better about the choice. (To the two ladies that helped me out, THANK YOU so much!)For raw feeders out there, I highly recommend Chuck's for picking a good dry food back up! They also have freezers with raw patties (fully balanced), fermented goat's milk, and more.I also love Chuck's diverse selection of antlers and chews. They have some XL antler panels, which are rare to find and critically needed for the larger breed dogs to sufficiently enjoy before it become bone broth scraps. I love the 5-foot meat sticks for just $9. (See photo.) The gigantic size is so entertaining. My dog's eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas morning when she saw me with them. Ha!Chuck's has a decent selection of dog toys. They have added more larger profile toys to the mix, which my German Shepherd greatly appreciates. The mammoth with a tennis ball in the tummy is my pup's new favorite squishy. (See photo.)Overall, I think they take "Are you a friend of Chuck's?" to heart. I appreciate their genuine love/interest in my dog and their commitment to offering in good quality foods, toys, and supplies. We vote two paws up!”

“My husband son and I applied through the rescue shelter saint Francis ofAssisi for pre-approval before coming to adopt Eowyn a beautiful calico kitten who was being cared for here.
I came to the registers to get help with the process and hand in my paperwork.
The woman at the register used her radio and someone was there before I was even completely over. Her name was Amanda W.
She was very considerate of the fact we needed help getting products that eowyn was alrwady use to and the toys/treats she preferred. She helped us pick a carrier for her trips. And even helped pick out a decently priced cat tree that would meet all of our new family members needs.
She was tied up with our shopping and questions for about 45 minutes. When we finally had the things we needed we went back to the adoption center. She let out little Eowyn that was very curious and sweet. She of course wasn't a fan of the carrier and is acclimating now. Amanda was very through and the paperwork was gathered in a tidy folder with eowyns information. We did also have to fill out information on a hand held device which was simple as well.
The process is cash only which wasn't horrible. She gave us plenty of time to get to know eowyn before we brought her home. Even showed us how well she gets along with other cats.
She then made sh
Are she was there with us at check out with the cat tree scanned for us that she had brought up earlier.
Amanda W was super sweet and insanely helpful. She deserves well more than 5 stars and definitely a raise.
Thank you Amanda.”
