I have been ordering bird seed from Arcata Pet for many years. Always delivered quickly.

Friendly staff. Very helpful owner. I bought a cage and supplies to help save the family and friends of "Marty Mouse" who took refuge in my apartment. When Marty Mouse wouldn't enter the have a hart humane mouse trap and taught his friends how to let him out of a larger capacity have a hart mouse trap, I gave up and returned their emergency relocation home. The shop workers were very obliging. I highly recommend this pet store also. read more

My son has been begging for a bearded dragon for a long time and we recently found a rare painted agama here, like a miniature version of a beardie. ALL staff were so polite, friendly and accommodating. Everyone was super caring and extremely knowledgeable and helped with the set up of everything the lizard needed. I was extremely impressed with the staff's extensive knowledge of how to care for these little guys and the joy they exuded in helping out a customer. I actually went to all the pet stores in the local area to price things out, and this place had the best prices too. Amazing experience and highly recommend this store for all your pet needs! We're so happy to have gotten our new little friend from Arcata Pet. read more

I can only comment on the aquarium portion of the store. I went with the kids to buy some fish to add to our tank. They had a few tanks that were quarantined but I didn't think much of it at the time. We brought the new fish home to our tank and now all of our fish have white spot disease and are dying from parasites. I would not recommend buying fish from the store. We had a beautiful dojo loach that was over 4 years old and never had any problems and within a week of adding the new fish everything is a dying. Not cool! read more

Great spot for most of your pets needs! Super helpful staff and their animals are well taken care of

I mostly come here because it's the only place that has crickets and also it's close to my banks, CVS and Safeway. I'm not understanding the negative reviews though. I've always loved this place. Everybody is friendly and helpful. They've helped me figure out various problems I was having with my pets as well. They also have a rewards program. read more

I just had a horrible experience with them. At 5:58pm I called them and told them I was at the plaza and would be there shortly and really needed to buy cat litter. The person who answered the phone told me he was going to set aside the litter I needed. I told him the brand and the type I wanted, he asked questions and confirmed, then said I'll see you soon. I got there at 6:01 and the door was locked. Two people were inside and I told them I was the one who called, they ignored me completely even though they could see me. Why would anyone lead a costumer on like that? I got mad because he talked to me on the phone like he was going to wait for me. And honestly, it's not thar hard to wait for a literal minute for a customer that shops there every single week. I'm not shopping there ever again! Going to give my money to Amazon because they don't treat me like a fool. read more

I love being able to buy online and support a small merchant. Admittedly I buy most of my pet related products in local stores, but Arcata Pet has some items I can't easily find elsewhere. I'm happy to pay the shipping cost to avoid having to make a lot of phone calls and/or go out and about to find what I'm looking for locally. Saves time & gas... Thanks to Mark for the quick confirmation of my order and the personal email with the shipping info. read more

Just bought a betta from there. Had awful amonia poising and fin rot and worse water condions ive seen. His water smelled like pure cholorine.. Here are the peramiters from the cup he was in Ph over 8.8 Ammonia was 4.0ppm Nitrite was 0 Nitrate was 5.0 The fish also looked pretty hungry and most fish dont tank food once being put in a new tank but he took quite a bit making me think he hasn't eaten for days. Also the temp setting in the store for bettas is far below what they actually need. Dont but bettas here. Or really don't buy anything living from here. read more

See all

The people working were the most helpful! They measured our dog for a fitting and let him try on anything we wanted. They were kind and gentle with him and made all of very comfortable! We bought him a warm rain coat for going fishing! read more

I recently adopted a conure from this place and not only is he one of the most amazing pets i've ever owned, the staff here is also great. I was helped by Kristen the most. She was absolutely fantastic and as a first time pet owner she gave me tons of helpful advice! I will definitely be a regular at this place after seeing how well they care for the animals and their customers. read more

The best thing I like about Arcata pet is the convenient location next to Safeway in the shopping center. They don't have a large selection of dog food, and shampoo for cats and dogs, but the staff is always very helpful. Easy to get in and out fast, no waiting here. read more

Very small selection. Double the cost of anywhere else. When I went in to purchase an ounce of live worms, the worker brought out a bag that was 1/2 dirty worm water, with a small amount of worms. When I mentioned that it was not an ounce, he took me to a scale and it weighed exactly one ounce, IN THE BAG that was 1/2 water. 10 to 11 grams worms and the rest water, plastic bag and rubber band. Very expensive dirty worm water. read more

Been a loyal customer here for about a year. They sold me several things in the past with disease and infections and have been great in the past with customer support. Until lately. They just lost a customer, I will not return. read more

What an amazing store! The store is so cool and you can really see how they respect their animals. I love walking around and seeing how expansive the inventory is. They really have just about everything you could want for your pet! I have to say that I love hanging out in the fish room. In most places, you see how unhappy the fish is but the fish here look so genuinely happy. And I've heard complaints about the tank size for the bettas but they are all connected to a larger circulated tank and separated for their own well being as they are territorial! How interesting! I learn something new every time I shop here. You can really tell that the staff are educated (and very friendly!) I will always shop here for my pet needs. read more

This is the only place in town that sells the specific Aloe Vera and Tea Tree Oil Shampoo/Conditioner that my dog needs, and it's affordable. The have helpful, friendly staff and participate a lot with local animals. Love it! read more

Purchased the littleGifts Dog keychain via Online store They shipped the item out quick but they sent the wrong item. It was nothing like the photo on the website. They said it's the current version of the product, but was able to located one that matched the photo online and said they would send it to me after returning the one I received from them. Which I paid to return with tracking. I then got a request that I needed to pay an additional shipping cost to get the item i paid for and wanted in the first place. I called them and told them my situation and waived my shipping. This was way more work and money than I wanted to spend. Hopefully I get the correct product this time. [update] Got the replacement, it is the correct style but has a defect, face looks like it was melted/smushed/dropped. Could have warned me over the phone when they located the right one. Def. not ordering the dog keychains via online again. Really wanted a small reminder of my dog that just passed away last week.... read more

The animals are all well maintained and healthy, they have they best employees ever, the best prices in humboldt and a big variety of pets to choose from, i will continue to use them as a mouse supplier for my ball python read more

They start out with one star because I can't go lower than that. They get one more star because they had Guinea pig shampoo, which I desperately needed and didn't want to drive to Eureka for. They don't get a third, fourth or fifth star because they suck. First, I stopped to see what reptiles they had. They have three different-sized bearded dragons housed together. The bigger of the three is almost big enough to attempt eating the smaller of the three. Then I looked around for critter harnesses. They only had a ferret one, the kind that is basically just a rope. I don't like those, and don't want to put one on my Guinea pig. The kid behind the counter asked if I was finding everything okay, I asked about the little harnesses. He directed me toward the ferret one. I said I've used one, I don't like them. He told me "not this one, it's an adjustable rope" and I got a little peeved. Told him that yes, in fact, that was the type I'd used and I did not like it. Then I bought the shampoo and left, and I'm not going back. I found a nice little pet supply store on G that I just love. read more

Absolutely best pet shop I have ever come across when it comes to service. The staff is consistently attentive, informative, and more than willing to assist in anyway they can. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. I want to give a special thank you for the kindness I have received from not only the owner, but management and staff as well. I highly recommend Arcata Pet for all of your pet needs!!! read more

Super helpful, friendly, clean and well stocked. Full selection of snake and reptile products too ! (just no live feeder mice)

I was treated in a very rude, disrespectful and unprofessional way by Jeremy. He is the store owner. I think he was drunk or high on drugs. I will never go back in this store ever again. He was aggressive and belligerent. I was seriously ready to defend myself because I thought he was actually going to become violent. Stay away from this store. Things have changed. read more

Okay, I had 5 huge fish tanks... how could I not come here! A great selection of HEALTHY fish. Great selection of aquatic plants and a staff that knew their stuff. Highly recommended. You can even bring in a water sample and they'll check it for you and let you know if that'll work for your fish. read more

The only reason I gave it a two was for the first clerk we talked to. He was kind helpful and informative. The man who checked us out barely said two words and never made eye contact like we were beneath him. Very very disappointed. I will never come back. Ok to clarify I did return because I didn't want to drive to Eureka to by a leash. However, AGAIN the cashier didn't make eye contact nor even try to establish some sense of customer service. Next time, I will take the time to drive to Eureka! read more

Very general pet store, Always nice clerks. Almost all of their rawhide is from overseas. They have a good sale/clearance section, but are limited to the supply they carry. Good for staples and to support the little local business! read more

Great service from the fish section and awesome service over the phone after I got home and needed help setting up my tank! However, I find it disturbing that the betta fish in the store are confined in such tiny tanks. Betta fish need at very minimum a 2.5 gallon tank to be healthy and happy...look it up. Animal cruelty otherwise. And fish are smarter than you think. Check out Reddit FishCognition Edit: Also just found out you guys were the ones who sold my rooommate a freaking 0.5 gallon bowl for her betta and told her it was fine. That fish was absolutely miserable until we transferred her to a bigger tank. Didn't even swim around or move. Look it up, '0.5 gallon fish bowl' on Chewy, it's the bubble one, one of the first ones that come up. Literally every single review is talking about how horrible and cruel it is. Also fish should never be in a round bowl, it disorients them, you should know this. Also a bowl that small cannot even accommodate a filter or a heater, which bettas need--they are tropical fish. Sorry but now knowing this I cannot give more than one star. read more

I would drive from Eureka to this pet shop because they had the best selection of dog food, always had the one we wanted in stock and they priced them very well. Always worth the trip. read more

Pretty good. Wish there was more of a selection for wet cat food, but it's okay. I go to Wildberries to fill in the gaps. Good natural and organic selection for pets overall. Jackson loves the cat nip toys. I come here often for his food. read more

Went into the store looking for a specific CBD product. It was located immediately. Was impressed with 2 staff members who were helpful and friendly, willing to take the time to answer several questions and search the shelves for other items I was needing. When an item was out of stock, they gave a referral of where I might find it. read more

Very cool little spot. There are lots of options here with accessories and food. They have a few pets here, which my kids loved--birds, lizards, a few beta. There is a petco Humboldt, but I think I can get everything I need from here. I'd prefer to support local businesses even though its a little more pricey. read more

Best pet store in the area. Super nice staff. Every dog food you can imagine. Glad to have this place so close to me.

They have a good selection of things that aren't directly poisonous for my precious little fifi

I've been to every pet store in the area and they have the best variety of supplies I've seen. I've been in there many times this past few months asking questions about my new fish tank and they have helped me out so much!!! This store rocks :D read more

I always go here to buy my pet food. Without exception I have always been greeted by a friendly face and asked if I had any questions. They actually compared ingredients of various foods to find the best solution for my cat with digestive problems. Awesome business! read more

I ordered a fairly rare product from the internet site and it was $6 cheaper than anywhere else even with shipping ($29). The package arrived fast, the only problem I had was that the tracking system said it was delivered at 9:30 am and it wasn't delivered until sometime in the afternoon. That was only a problem because the old leash broke and I needed it fast so I was overly interested in the tracking info. :) read more

Helpful knowledgeable staff, cute critters (on-site kitties up for adoption and adorable reptiles for sale), and a decent selection of products considering it's size (love the dog toys).. read more

I cannot say enough about the wonderful service I received when I place an order online with Arcata Pet. I placed the order over the weekend and knew it would not be here until this weekend. Well it came today (Wed). I had a question about a product I ordered and talked to Kelly. She is truly an asset to this company. Wonderful and knew her products. I recommended your company to several of my dog friends and hope they will use you as well. I know any time I need pet supplies I will check here first. Amazing customer service!! read more

The staff at this store is very helpful. Thanks to Morgan I got just what I needed.

DO not order if you have not triple checked your description. I ordered what I thought was 60 mice due to the picture and misleading description. I only got 1 mouse and it costed $4.00 This company does NOT care if your mislead. read more
