It’s not your run-of-the-mill pet store by any means. It’s also a learning hub for visitors to develop a greater understanding of and appreciation for exotic pets.

Located in Lansing's Old Town neighborhood, Preuss Pets is a longtime local favorite. From Amazon parrots to axolotls and short-tailed opossums, it's tougher to think of the pets the store doesn't keep on hand than of the ones they do.

It's also a well-stocked pet supplies store, keeping an inventory of items just as varied as its pet selection.
