Animal Ark Orem

These people charge 45 cents for a "medium" roach, and sometimes you'll ask why they're so small they'll always get angry with you and say that's all they have right now til they order more online. They never get more online, that's their grift. People with reptiles in Orem only have Animal Ark to go to for immediate food, Animal Ark knows it, so they gouge their loyal customers. 75 cents for a somewhat large roach is absolutely insane. These people are evil.

This place has the best animals! They are also very knowledgeable and will answer your questions thoroughly even if they know you are not buying.

Staff is super helpful and friendly, the animals are well cared for, and the prices are good!

Love deagoe for pet I've oned a degou for 8 in a half years he I mean franke passed away.

Bueno

Its a nice store, a little pricy compared to other fine establishments nearby. Animals are taken care of.

I've seen a lot with Animal Ark over the years. It's had it's ups and downs, and a change of ownership. Currently, their care of the animals is really good. EMILY is the store manager and she has brought the store to a whole new level over the last several years. They have. Stepped. It. Up! It's really awesome to have a store where you can get such a wide variety of reptiles, amphibians, bugs, and arachnids, and the knowledge from the employees to care for them! The store can get pretty dirty, and you might walk in and see the place really messy. It's thrown me off a few times, but I've had multiple occasions where I come back the next day or some time within the next week and suddenly the store is completely *spotless*. So I've relaxed a lot when I do see things getting messy. I also understand how intense upkeep labor is for pet stores, having worked in one myself. SAMMY made me a custom crested gecko vivarium and it was awesome! If you love RARE PLANTS, this is the place to go! Their plant collection is incredible. If you are a plant conessoir, go here! Be warned, rare plants get pricey. The owner though, MIKE, is a real cheapskate and makes some really ethically sketchy decisions! He marks everything up a few dollars more than all of the other local home owned pet stores in the area. If you're a local supplier selling animals, reptiles, fish, birds, etc., he's gonna try and screw you and he'll make offers so low that it's a joke. He's been known to lie to sellers on KSL saying he's buying the pet(s) for his family, wife, and kids, and then takes them to his store and sells them for outrageous prices instead. He does get a lot of these animals from random people on KSL, so you really don't know anything about the health or history of the animal. That's the risk with every pet store though. You can get some amazing products and some great advice from good and knowledgeable staff, especially Emily, but supporting Mike's sketchy business ethics when you give them business can be a tough dilemma, because they deliver on so many great fronts but you hate support bad business ethics.

Compre mi gato american curl hace 2 meses y ayer fallecio por un problema en su higado el cual ya veniq haci desde que nacio, error mio no revisarlo antes pero por favor cuiden las mascotas que estan vendiendo!

I do not feel the animals are adequately taken care of at all. Very unclean environment. They have puppies and kittens in small glass areas. Last time I was there there was a little puppy and the cork board behind him had been chewed to death and it didn’t look clean and was such a small space!! The birds are also severally overcrowded and in cages that are way too small. This place is highly unethical and needs to change their practices. I would not ever ever ever buy something here. Not to mention how insanely overpriced everything is. I hope they go out of business or change their practices to clean ethical treatment of the animals.

It was better when the girl that actually cared about customers was there. The other individuals kinda suck..
