Critter Jungle

Lots of choices of pet food and toys.Birds and fish. Aquatic plants and beautiful bettas in appropriate tanks. Knowledgeable staff and friendly service.

I love this place for their amazing selection for aquarists. From plants to fish amd everything in between they are just fantastic.I managed to find pom pom crabs here and so many more plant species than PetSmart. My Betta from this location has by far been my favorite fish for both his colour and his personality.They have much more than just aquarium supplies so check them out!

We have a bearded dragon and a couple dart frogs. They are the only local option for bugs for my frogs/frog tank in the west end of Ottawa. The employees who are knowledgeable about the reptiles/amphibians know them well. They have food/accessories for all animals, but this is my go to store for my exotics.

I love this store so much, but my biggest gripe with it is that the employees are frequently very loud in the back reptile area. I'm all for friendly banter at work, and employees feeling comfortable working, but sometimes it makes it hard to focus and think about what you might need. They are often borderline yelling at one another, which makes it feel like you can't ask questions, or that you're imposing.It feels like there isn't much control over the staff, that they're having a day at the zoo everyday and their last priority is to help the customers. They frequently will just hang out, talk, hold their animals, etc despite customers seeming like they need help. This is extremely frustrating. I also have to wonder if they need 10-15 staff on hands at all times, especially for such a small store.Aside from that, their stock is always fantastic, the employees are friendly when helping you, the variety of live animals is amazing. You can really tell these people care for and love the animals. Do note that their stock is consistently higher priced than other places in the city, but that is likely due to it being a small business. They do carry a lot of stuff you can't find elsewhere, and that's the only reason I keep returning.

Honestly one of the only pet stores I care about - incredible selection of products, food, and more, irregardless of if you've got a cat, a dog, or something a little more unusual! (Birds, rodents, aquatics, amphibians, reptiles, even arachnids!) Great staff too and can give you actual proper advice on care which is a bonus, since a lot of places don't have the slightest idea when it comes to care for uncommon critters.Worth a visit and then some!

Love this pet store. They are personable, helpful and very kind (and my smaller dog just loves visiting the birds!). They have a great selection of food, treats and toys!

Seriously THE MOST AMAZING pet store I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing business with. My husband and I have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 reptiles (leopard geko’s) and 2 love birds. We buy ALL of our pet food from here and they are seriously amazing. Super informative, always very friendly and informative. I couldn’t say enough good about this family owned Ottawa pet store GEM!! If you’re looking for quality “organic” or natural style pet food, then this is your spot! We love making our weekly trips here and love the quality, courtesy and ethics of Critter Jungle.Their product ‘Fromm’ is highly recommended for cats & dogs, fruit and vegetable based, with different proteins in all products, inter-changeable without needing to wean, free samples to try, and I could not say enough good about the also family owned brand, or the store who represents them. Thank you for the fantastic selection and perfect customer service. Critter Jungle is the best pet store in the city, having many pets, we’ve tried them ALL. We love you guys!

BEST PET STORE. No exaggeration there, they've got everything you need and more. Their animals are so well taken care of and have the most beautiful terrariums set up. Their betta fish are actually in tanks instead of cups!! I bought my tarantula here and he is lovely. The staff are certainly knowledgeable, please please come here over petsmart.

Great to see the effort that goes into making sure all the animals are cared for. Fish tanks are stocked appropriately and large bioactive terrariums are provided for the reptiles. Prices on hard scape accessories are quite competitive, staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

Very awesome place. The people were so knowledgeable was even able to hold some super cute hand raise white rats in my hands and girbels the first time I came. They have lots of little fish to see and have a huge selection of everything for any pet. Family owned and the workers are so nice. Other location is in Orleans.
