“We have been placing weekly orders with NWZOO since 2019. NWZOO staff has always been professional, courteous, and has consistently provided top notch customer service with a personal touch. The selection of animals is broad and pricing of animals on the website is extremely competitive. Packing and shipping has always been thorough and professional. Animals arrive safely and in good health. It is obvious that the staff takes good care of the animals. We will continue to utilize NWZOO for our reptile & invertebrate needs.”
“NW Zoo has been a great asset to my growing business. They always have a huge variety of tarantulas and price them reasonably. They often have species available that you cannot find anywhere else – such as CITES restricted Brachypelma and Poecilotheria. I am a regular customer and order weekly. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. I recommend NW Zoo to my vendor friends all the time.”
