About Forest Lake Pets

Forest Lake Pets is a multi-category pet shop in Forest Lake, Minnesota, rated 4.1 stars across 22 reviews. Sitting about 30 miles north of St. Paul along I-35, it serves a growing community of pet owners in Washington and Chisago counties who'd otherwise drive into the metro for specialty animal care. The shop covers reptiles, aquariums, and birds under one roof, which is genuinely rare outside of major urban centers. For families and hobbyists in the Forest Lake area, that kind of variety is hard to find locally.

Services & Process

Forest Lake Pets handles aquarium setup and maintenance, reptile sales and supplies, and bird care products and livestock. On the aquarium side, that means help with freshwater and saltwater tank cycling, livestock selection, and water testing. Reptile customers can find animals, feeders, and enclosure gear suited to Minnesota's climate. The bird section rounds things out with species selection, dietary guidance, and appropriate cage setups. It's the kind of shop where one Saturday visit can sort out multiple pet-related needs at once.

Service Area

Forest Lake Pets serves Forest Lake and the surrounding communities in Washington and Chisago counties, including Hugo, Lino Lakes, and Wyoming. Its location along I-35 makes it easy to reach from both the northern metro and communities further up toward the Wisconsin border. Customers from as far as Chisago City make the trip for specialty livestock they can't find closer to home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you sell live reptiles, or just supplies?
Forest Lake Pets carries live reptiles along with the supplies needed to house them. Species availability changes regularly, so calling (651) 464-8982 before visiting is the best way to check current stock.
Can you help me set up a new aquarium from scratch?
Yes, the shop can guide you through the full setup process, from choosing a tank size to selecting fish once the cycle is complete. Staff can walk you through water chemistry basics so your tank is ready for livestock.
What types of birds do you carry?
Bird selection varies, but the shop typically stocks common companion birds and the supplies to care for them. It's worth calling ahead if you're looking for a specific species or size.
Is Forest Lake Pets a good option for reptile beginners?
It's a solid starting point. Staff can help first-time reptile owners choose a species that fits their experience level and walk them through basic husbandry before they leave the shop.
Do you carry saltwater aquarium livestock and supplies?
The shop handles both freshwater and saltwater aquarium needs. Saltwater livestock selection may be more limited than a dedicated marine shop, so calling ahead to ask about specific species is a good idea.
How far do people travel to shop at Forest Lake Pets?
Because the shop combines reptiles, aquariums, and birds in one location, customers come from well beyond Forest Lake itself. People from Chisago County and the northern metro suburbs make regular trips since that combination isn't common in the area.
