Located in the heart of Lansing's historic Old Town district, our 22,000 sq. store is a destination in itself, featuring a vast selection of quality pet products, expert staff in every department, and a vibrant mural by local artist Tom Phillips. Preuss Pets is a community hub, welcoming everyone from MSU students to families and school groups. Led by Rick Preuss and Steve Oberg, our aquatics sect

ion is a must-see — people travel from hours away to visit! Let us help you set up the perfect freshwater or saltwater tank. We breed small animals in-store to ensure healthy, well-socialized pets, and we run a rehoming program to help animals find loving homes. You’ll find gerbils, guinea pigs, ferrets, degus, hamsters, rats, and more. Our reptile section features a wide variety of snakes, lizards, invertebrates, and other unique species. We prioritize proper care and education, so you can confidently care for your new pet long after you leave the store. While we don’t sell cats or dogs, we carry everything you need to spoil your furry friends. We’re also proud to partner with our neighbor, Constellation Cat Cafe, which re-homes rescue cats from Saved by Zade. Come explore our departments and make Preuss Pets your next stop!

We want to wish a happy birthday to Ellie! Thank you for spending your special day with us!

Ellie hand-fed Hoover the catfish, Pancake the stingray, and held a hognose snake. Did you know that when you book your birthday at Preuss we custom format the party to fulfill the hopes of what your child wishes to experience? Today Ellie wanted to handle snakes!

Ellie, thank you for celebrating with us. We have to share her amazing custom made cupcakes with her own leopard gecko’s picture on them.

🦎Thank you Glencairn Elementary for having Preuss Pets out with our ambassador animals!

First graders were able to experience an up-close encounter with several of our animal ambassadors from the Preuss Pets classroom.

We studied different habitats and animal defenses. Kirbay’s background in creative movement made for a rolling good time when students rolled onto their backs pretending to be blue death feigning beetles.

Have a lesson plan you want us to meet? Email us today! We would love to bring the animals out for a visit! [email protected]

🐛 Meet Maggie and Mya! Two fabulous and fierce (note their dino earrings) educators on our education team!

"One of my favorite parts of working in education is creating hands-on experiences where learning happens naturally through fun and wonder. I love guiding kids through their first animal encounters, encouraging their curiosity, and helping them see the connection between themselves, the animal world, and the importance of caring for it. What makes Preuss Pets’ education department so special is that everyone here shares that same passion—for animals, for people, and for our community. We work together to create a welcoming space filled with joy and belonging, while inspiring others not only to learn about their pets and how to take care of them, but how to protect all wildlife for future generations to come." ❤️-Maggie
