Summit Zoo Pets

In an attempt to cheer up after getting the worst news of her life, my mother stopped in Summit Zoo Pets in Lee's Summit, Mo. She just had to check out the Giant Schnauzer puppy her baby girl had talked nonstop about meeting weeks prior. As she tearfully approached the owner, Jimmy Taylor, in an attempt to purchase her with the thought of Charlie being with her baby girl in a few years when she will not, Jimmy made the unbelievable decision to let my mother take the puppy home free of charge. He was also there to console her and help her select a large amount of toys, dog food, and a properly fitted collar and leash combo for purchase. Our family can not find the words to properly express our loving gratitude for not only being with my mother after the news but also helping her give our baby girl the puppy of her dreams that day. Thank you, Jimmy. We are customers for life.

Forever Gracious,
Mindy & her baby girl Savvy

THEY HAVE A GOAT! This is so awesome! I love seeing independent pet stores. Employees were fantastic. Went to look at their reptule section and I was not disappointed. Their reptile cages were awesome! Naturalistic, clean, not overcrowded. Their prices were a little crazy, but I get that cost markups need to happen. Definitely will be back for dog food, as they carry some different brands that I want to research more, but may be great for my pups. I would rate 4.5 stars due to the fact they have puppies for sale. With that being said, kennels were super clean and the dogs looked healthy. I support adopt dont shop!

I called ahead of time and Jay was so helpful and informative on the puppy I was looking at since I had to drive 3 hours to the store. This is a beautiful store and they have every kid of puppy you would want. I was disappointed because the puppy I wanted to see had already been sold and they don’t hold, especially for a week. I’m not one for all the details they go over and was respected and really appreciated that. I came home with a sweet little girl for my husband who was finally ready to replace his companion BooBoo. The stuff I came home with is amazing. The bitter apple deterent spray WORKS! I’ve pulled out the wipes, and will need to use the cleaner. The pup loves the treats and the crates with the false back is perfect for the tiny Boston Terrier I brought home. And yes, Brian was absolutely correct telling me I would need a variety of toys and suggested I did not put back the extra ones I picked out.
It will be a while before Pepper can go to work with the hubby, but she is fitting in perfectly with my 5 month old 9 lb kitten 😂😂

Adopted a dog, worker was not pushy, gave us the info. Never rushed. Knowledgeable about their routine and very helpful once we made our decision

Wow! What a wonderful experience I had to get my cockapoo and new family member! Everyone is super friendly, very professional, and there to serve you! If you want help selecting a pet, be sure to ask for Raylen! She is amazing! She kept in constant contact with me throughout the whole process and spent an hour and half with me the day I took my puppy home!

They had lots of birds and very friendly staff, they have a 40ish year old bird they take care of and she's adorable, I wish I had taken pictures.

Great store, super nice and informative employees. They have lots of animals and animal products. We will be back.

This is maybe the best pet and pet supply store ever. Helpful, knowledgeable and happy staff. Great selections on food, treats, toys, equipment and healthy pets for sale. Everything was fresh and clean too. I highly recommend this store.

Went in today and had an amazing experience! Lexi and Brian let us play with a few different dogs. Lexi was very quick to see which dog my son was most excited about. Brian was very helpful with letting us play with a very sweet 6 year old Rottweiler (Carissa) and also told us about a sale and helped us get checked out.
Every time I've gone in, it has been a great experience. Everyone is so friendly and very knowledgeable about the different animals. They really care about every animal they have as well as every pet that comes in with their owner!
Their prices are lower than other pet store prices. I highly recommend Summit Zoo Pets!

I’m so thankful to have stumbled upon this place. They have amazing selection of fish and reptiles. And Of course the cuddly cuties like rabbis, chinchilla, hamsters, terrors, mice. They also adopt dogs.

I spoke with Brian who was so friendly and knowledgeable.

The whole staff was so friendly and helpful. And all the animals look to be taken care of and loved. As all their cages were pristine!

Beautiful store and family run, I’m going to be supporting them every chance I get.

What an awesome place. Brought my 10-month-old son in to look at animals on this hot day and they have such a big selection of pets to see, hold, pet, and buy. Jacob was so nice and helpful and went out of his way to pick up birds for my son to pet (his favorite animal) and was he was a friendly smile the second we walked in the door. We will definitely be back to look at animals, and when we decide to buy a pet, we will be coming here for that!

Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about all the animals. The young man answering questions from my son about turtles vs tortoises was very helpful and patient with my two very excited and talkative kids. He was also helpful in getting the fish we originally came in for.

First impressions were great! When my family and I first walked in, we were greeted by the owner who offered to take us on a tour. He then took us to the fish pond where he let my daughter feed the fish! We then continued on through the store with Brian who was very helpful and informative. Store was very organized and clean! Enjoyed ourselves and will be back! 👍🏼

Jake was incredibly helpful and a wealth of knowledge. He taught us so much about our leopard gecko and set us up for success long term. Amazing service and great prices, super personable! We are so grateful for his time and kindness.

My mother and I went to Summit Zoo just to look at their dogs. We met a wonderful girl name Lexie, who was so excited to help us. She showed us a 14 week old female golden doodle and told us all about her. She was beyond helpful and knowledgeable about the animals. I think she was as excited for my mom as my mom was getting a new puppy. She walked around with us and helped us pick out some toys, bowls, shampoo, etc. She was such a joy. Summit Zoo is definitely the place to go for an animal. Not to mention the clean and inviting environment. The entire staff was knowledgeable and friendly.

Went in and every employee that was there offered to help us. All the fish looked so healthy(we plan to come back and buy some one day just had other stuff to do). Every animal enclosure looked good and well taken care of. They have a very good selection of everything and my son loved the bird that talked. 10/10 will be coming back even though it’s a bit of a drive for us and it will be our exclusive pet store.

One of the best customer service experiences I’ve had! Excellent service from start to finish! We are in love with our puppy. Thank you Tina and staff

Staff is very helpful and friendly. Great selection for all items and I am very impressed with their fish selection.

Love this locally owned and operated pet store! They have an amazing selection and awesome customer service. This is currently my favorite pet store in Kansas City!

These guys are awesome! Clinton and Carson set us up right! Answered all of our nub questions! Our fish tank is thriving!
