Welcome to The Ark Pet Shop!
The Ark Pet Shop has been Northwest Indiana’s trusted family-owned pet store since 1979, and it’s unlike any other pet shop around. Located at the corner of US 30 and Route 55 in Merrillville, The Ark offers a wide selection of freshwater and saltwater fish, live corals and plants, reptiles, birds, and small animals, along with a full line of supplies for dogs and cats.
Browse a museum-like tidepool, exotic marine fish, rare freshwater species, incredible freshwater stingrays, and fascinating chameleons, all with the help of a knowledgeable staff that customers say has consistently impressed them. Whether you’re setting up your first aquarium or looking for something truly unusual, stop by and see why locals have loved The Ark for over four decades.
