This place is SO cute- pets + plants! I loved their selection of individual dog chews, treats + toys- all were very affordable. Great customer service too! I loved bringing my puppy in here.

Love this Zamzows! The crickets' tanks are always kept pretty clean. If you purchase crickets, you know how dirty those buggers are. I've had good luck with my crickets not dying super quick like they have when I get them from other stores that don't take as great care of them. Sometimes I get lost and end up in the plant section and accidentally buy a plant. The plants always look lively and well cared for. I hate when they all beg me to take them home though.

I have always known Zamzows to be a great place to go to get advice on lawn care, gardening, fish, reptiles, cats, dogs and other pets. This store is so helpful in guiding people to the correct do-it-yourself supplies to avoid hiring a lawn care service or going to a vet every time you have simple questions about your pet's care and well-being.They have lawn fertilizer and seed, which is better quality than what you find at grocery stores.They different varieties of real metal sprinklers, which last much longer. You can not find metal ones at typical one-stop, low-cost grocery stores. I even saw a timer that you can connect to your sprinkler and hose to time your lawn or garden watering. The timer shuts the water off when it is finished.I also saw different varieties of bulk bird seed and a birding journal for kids (to record the types of birds they find).They have plenty of reptiles at this location, including a horned caterpillar that reminded me of the caterpillar Absolem from Disney's Alice & Wonderland (except it was green instead of blue and it looked like it had a bunch of eyes all down its sides).So, if you want to become an expert in lawn care, gardening, bird sightseeing (birding), or caring for your pets, then this is the place for you!

Will sell a 12 year old live animals without a parent. If it was feeder fish I would understand. But pet rats and to recommend to get two and to give the child a male and female rat is highly unprofessional. Do not recommend this store.

I love Zamzows selection of house plants but I think I have finally ended my time buying from you. I have bought many plants from you in the past. Some have survived but a lot haven’t. I hadn’t caught on until later that I started having a mealy bug issue once I started brining Zamzows plants home. I know I should always check but sometimes it doesn’t cross my mind in the excitement of a new beautiful plant. A week ago I bought two new Pothos from the Federal Way location for my work office. The next day at work, I started to find huge mealy bugs all over the stems. I decided not return then because I wanted to try and treat them with washing the plant and neam oil treatments. The larger Pothos I have been able to treat pretty well but the smaller one hasn’t gotten any better. All the stems started to turn brown and die off. It almost looks like root rot and I haven’t even had it long enough to water it yet Today I had to throw it away because it was just dead due to the bugs. Again, I love the selection but there needs to be something done about the bugs.

I was originally given incorrect information on how to plant grass seed and get rid of the weeds in my lawn. I went in and spoke with the manager, Taylor, and she immediately apologized for the misinformation from the other employee and was determined to correct the situation. Her enthusiasm and knowledge on lawn care was very helpful. It is hard to find good employees these days and I believe that Taylor is one of the few gems that goes above and beyond to make things right. It is because of my experience with Taylor that I will continue to shop at Zamzows.

Wow, Zamzows was amazing! We came through to fill up our propane on our RV and the staff was so kind. We were so happy with everyone from the guy filling our propane to the guy at the check out. All around great stop and made our day better!

Always really great employees and happy animals. The animals are well cared for and the reptile habitats look awesome. Prices are great too. I can find more here and at a better price than at Petco. And the animals seem so much happier.

Zamzows is a great spot to shop for home garden supplies. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff are always happy to help, and they have great local insight. They also have many options for pets, but focus a bit too much on their own brands. Many items are a bit pricey comparatively and it's difficult to compare to other brands since much is limited to only Zamzows products. All in all, a great store for gardening that could improve for pets.

I've always kind of been a fan of Zamzows. Not all locations are equal. This location has built an atrium addition for plants that are reasonably priced. It has an amazing selection of pet supplies, good soil in bulk, along with a friendly knowledgeable staff. It has great aquarium supplies but is lacking in aquatic life; I'm sure it's sufficient for most people but nothing out of the ordinary and no salt water fish.

They’re always attentive and helpful, but don’t harass you constantly. Everyone is very knowledgeable about basically everything, and if someone isn’t for a particular thing then they find someone who is. They don’t act suspicious and ask a bunch of questions when you need to return something; if it’s not working out for you they simply say, “I’m sorry it’s not working out, can I help you find something that will?” Everyone at the Federal Way store Boise is absolutely fantastic. I wouldn’t even consider going to another place. Also they let my pup come in and explore! He loves it:) Thank you all! Zamzows for life!!

My mother and I went in to purchase an air plant. The young lady helping us said that she could never keep them alive and said that I was basically wasting my money buying one. When my mom asked how to keep them alive she told us to must them.... which is not how you water them. When I asked if they sold any thing to display them in the lady helping us said "No, we don't sell anything for them". I liked at my mom and said "I'm going to look around and see if I can find something glass that it would look cool in. The young lady said "We don't sell anything like that, so don't bother looking". I assured her that I heard what she was saying, I was still going to look around.While looking for a container my mom decided to buy a bird feeder and 50 pounds of seed. I helped her carry the stuff to the registers while 3 people that worked there all stood around. While she paid I went to the fish area to check on glass bowls. When I came back to the registers my mom was trying to carry 50 pounds of bird seed and her bird feeder while 3 employees, standing around, watched her struggle. I let them know that I'm glad they had nothing better to do than stand around and watch her struggle.The staff at this location was very uneducated, and very rude! I think they definitely need some training with costumer service. My mother and I will be buying our bird seed elsewhere from now on.

I have always had really good luck with finding perennials at this location. I have some raspberry sorbet poppies that I got at this location about 10 years ago I have never seen them anywhere else locally. I have also always had a great experience with the customer service. I have been a customer since they were a couple of blocks further down state street

The Federal Way location is the best Zamzows. They are always accommodating, friendly and genuinely care about the well being of your furry friends. It's one of my favorite spots to get every day items (cheaper than Petco/Petsmart AND local), and have a lovely selection of flowers for the garden. Management seems to be very good to their employees here which is another big plus-- love seeing happy workers! Thanks for being a go-to for the last several years.

I can't sing enough praises for this Zamzows location. Our experience with Steven is always top-notch, as he is knowledgeable on a variety of topics including tree and other plant health. I highly recommend this location and especially Steven for your outdoor needs!

The store itself is decent and I appreciate what they are trying to do especially as a local company but the prices are just outrageous. 13 bucks they are asking for a piece of plastic that is used to spray their also very expensive Thrive product. Highway robbery.Check out amazon or the NXT line of products for better rates and ingredient profiles for lawn tree and shrub micronutrients.Also try the Ortho Dial and Spray from the Homedepot next door for product applications. It’s way more versatile, more substantial and less money.

This morning somebody who works at Sam's o's and was the beholder of the keys turned out to be human estimate and point although they were a little bit later open this morning both lady that was there before the keys and the lady that brought the keys were so positive so generous so eager to help. That kind of attitude alone is reason enough for me to come back to this store on purpose not just out of convenience

Super friendly and helpful. They advised what kind of grass nutrients I needed and even provided a rotary spreader to use free of charge. I highly recommend zamzows!

I believe I had previously gave these guys a 4 or 5 star review. This was because of their grooming service. I just learned that is gone. So bummed!

Don’t listen to the employees and triple check the the blend of grass seed you buy. My re-seeded yard is now full of fescue…. Thanks Zamzows.

Went in for lawn patch. A salesman explained it wouldn't work well in the summer and talked me out of buying it. Reputation over the quick buck. Awesome.

One of the best local storefronts for your lawn and pet needs. In-house fertilizers and pet foods are a staple.
