3 weeks ago I bought a toy poodle puppy from this store. I am glad that the food that was recommended to me for the puppy suits him perfectly. Fortunately, he has no health problems and eats well. I also want to note that the puppy has a very good psyche. So I can conclude that the puppies in this store come from good breeders.

I got my zina bobina over a year ago on december 13 2023 from astoria pets. She immediately was very comfortable with people so to me that was a sign that the employees/owners treated her well. She is so cute and well behaved, everyones favorite cat. Love her to pieces, thank you astoria pets💓🥺

Benny is now almost 8 months and has been a great addition to our family for 5 months now. He’s a toy Australian Shepherd and is currently 7lbs. We had some health issues when we first got him because he refused food during his first few days in my place and Will and Don were very helpful. They asked me to bring Benny back so that they can nurse him back to health. Not even 24 hours later, Benny was already back to being his energetic self. They kept him for observation for a few days more until they are sure that he won’t be hypoglycemic again.

So, I have no idea what people are on about with this place. 1, it’s a pet shop, of course it’s going to smell like animals! 2, this is NOT a puppy mill. When me and my daughter entered the shop yesterday, we asked the guy that welcomed us if we could have some information on this Maltese we saw, and he showed us the puppy’s documents. Parents name, gender, and more! Each dog was NOT in a cage, but able to be seen through a glass window. Like, it’s nasty if all the dogs are going to have a bed and blanket in there! They’ll poo on it, so I am 100% fine with news paper strips inside the puppy’s area. Also, prices. Pretty reasonable, 2000 dollars for the 9 week old Maltese is not bad. They included 5 year health insurance for the pup and a chip, also, each pup had all vaccines needed. He let my daughter play with the puppy, and the puppy was so happy and exited. None of them were sad, so no idea what these reviews are. He showed my daughter how to hold the puppy properly and how to see if the pup liked her. The dog licked and jumped around a lot! Also, correct me if I’m wrong, the guys name was William and he seemed very interested in the dog. Great customer service! He understood when I told him we had to speak with dad about it, so DEFINITELY NOT forcing you to buy a dog as some reviews say that. Unfortunately, we were looking for a girl Maltese. Maybe we might pick up a boy from there, maybe. Thank you William! I recommend this place if you are in NY.

I’ve gotten two dogs here and both were the best dogs in my life. It’s shameful that they can no longer sell pets from Grade A breeders. The progressives in Astoria trying to put a store and its employees out of business have no clue what they are talking about, it’s the same story as “cancel Amazon HQ in LIC because they hurt small businesses” meanwhile these people have Amazon packages lined up at their front door. Do yourself a favor, if you don’t agree with it don’t buy from here, but don’t think your views are the views of everyone, go contribute to society and work instead of trying to put others out of it.

My husband and I went in to see puppies and we came across a Shih poo and asked to play with him. We immediately fell in love. The dog was so relaxed in our arms but when we put him down he was playful! We put a deposit down and Mike was able to hold him for 2 weeks as we were planning on moving soon. When we picked him up we were given all necessary documents with vaccinations and birth certificate, Mike event threw in free puppy food cuz we wanted keep him on the same food hes been getting. The puppy easily molded into our little family and has the cutest personality. We’re so in love. we recently took him to the vet and hes in perfect health so we know this store took great care of him. We recommend this pet store.

We’ve got Enzo (mini Aussie) for almost a year now and he’s completely fine. He’s so smart, responds to commands, LOVES to play (nonstop). But always looks for our love and attention. Will guided me how to carry him but never forced me to get him. He was understanding because he had to get an ok from landlord. Now Enzo will be turning ONE on 01/10🐶🎈

UPDATE: Today is 6/8/24..Bailey will be two years old on 7/9/24..I came back to update this review and shut down all false/fake comments..Bailey is still in PERFECT health as expected..He even did a 9 mile hike with me in Shenandoah National Park! He is truly an incredible part of our family! He’s also BRILLIANT! Within a week of getting him, he learned sit, come here, give me paw and high five! Great disposition too! Please see recent photo of him that I added and know that you will not regret purchasing from this wonderful shop! :)I have been coming to this shop since I was a little girl (I’m 38 now)..Today, I purchased the most beautiful, happy, loving, healthy, sweet and vibrant goldendoodle boy EVER from this wonderful shop and I am so grateful! I love my little dood (Dude) (See what I did there?? Hehe) soooo much! I decided to name my baby boy Bailey :) The entire experience from start to finish was incredible! The staff was extremely knowledgeable, professional, courteous, kind, patient, informative, caring and honest throughout the whole process..The staff was not pushy with “just trying to get the sale” and they gave me as much time as I needed to decide..They also gave me lots of time to interact with Bailey, which I appreciated, as it gave he and I time to bond and see if we were a good fit for one another..There were no hidden fees or gimmicks with pricing, which most places have..You do have to have the puppy micro-chipped before you leave, but that is a New York State law, it’s not the policy of the shop..They’re just abiding by the law and running their business by the books in requiring the puppies be micro-chipped..When Bailey was micro-chipped, they were so gentle with him and he was wagging his tail during..He wasn’t in pain or distress at all..Also, I’ve read some comments on here regarding this being a puppy-mill place and that could not be further from the truth..When I purchased Bailey, I was given all information and official documents stating his parents’ information, where he came from, etc., which I will not post that information for privacy reasons, but I can assure you that this shop provides with that when you get all of your puppy’s records..I am also appalled by the false accusations/fake reviews by people stating that these puppies are neglected..It infuriates me to read that because it couldn’t be further from the truth..Bailey was/is extremely socialized, happy, outgoing from the moment I met him! Far from a neglected dog! I am so thankful that they took such amazing care of my baby and were so good to him prior to me purchasing him from them..I could go on and on about all of the wonderful things that I could say about this place, but I will end this by saying that, this place has been around for well over 30 years..Lots of locals purchase from here as well as people who are not from the area..People keep coming back and also referring people to this business for a REASON! As I have always done and will continue to do! I understand that not everyone agrees with buying a puppy and prefer adoption, which is okay, but by writing fabricated, false reviews, all you are doing is hurting an honest and trusted, community business, who truly cares about animals! The owner even gave me his personal phone number incase I had any questions re: Bailey’s care after hours, which was beyond kind..I highly recommend this phenomenal, kind, compassionate, incredible, and trusted shop to anyone who’s interested in purchasing a puppy! I promise that you will not be disappointed! Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart to everyone at the shop for my beautiful Bailey or as I affectionately call him “Bee” and “My little Bumble Bee” :) I will bring Bailey by the shop soon, so he can visit all of you! Thank you so much for the A+++++++++++++ service! :)

Keith and Will were AMAZING!! We had recently lost our dog of 19 years and were looking for a new addition to the family. They had no problem telling us information on the puppies and letting us meet a couple (with proper precautions of course). Will suggested the pup for us that we actually ended up taking home! The pup came with everything, including AKC registration about the breeders (which is why I dont understand why people think they get them from puppy mills). It has been around 3 weeks since we brought him home, and since then we have gone to the vet twice for shots and checkups, and our little guy is in perfect health! This place is definitely on par with the expensive pet stores in the city, for a much more reasonable price. Highly recommend!!!

I’m so happy right now. I have been looking everywhere for a Husky, I was able to find this beautiful Siberian Husky Here. The staff members were great to me and my family from the time we walked in, they greeted us and proceeded to explain all the things that the dog comes with. I was amazed by the 5 years of free health insurance, it means alot to me because I paid over 5k in medical bills for my Frenchie. We walked in the store when my daughter fell in love with this beautiful cream colored Golden retriever that was by the window. I inquired about all the big dogs, they seemed to know everything about dogs which made me more Comftable. I have been avoiding this place for so long because I have read the bad reviews now I realize that all the bad and one star reviews were coming from people that never purchased a puppy in the first place. It’s wrong to mislead people with your reviews based on your personal feelings. I feel like I have done myself a injustice by not coming here sooner. I advice anyone that love dog and would like a puppy that is 2 to 4 months to stop by Astoria pets all the dogs were calm except for the few dogs that wanted to play with me And the kids. I posted a picture meet the new member of my Family!

Just got my sweet puppy from Astoria Pets and what a great experience it was. They were very patient with me as I figure out the details before being able to get my dog and let me visit her as many times as I wanted until I was able to take her home. They inserted a chip in store, she already had all her vaccinations and they include a year long medical coverage with a local vet in queens. I would highly suggest this pet store any person as they truly take care of the pets and their parents.

I just got home from visiting Astoria Pets and getting my second fur baby from them. The first time I went knowing I was coming out with a puppy I read the reviews but was surprised to see so many negative ones. I used to go in there in my high school days just to see the dogs and cats and even then the employees have always been friendly and never dismissive (I’m sure they knew I wasn’t buying one at that age lol). But now yearsss later I was able to go in and see Will and finally be able to get my first ever puppers back in October.I like to ask a lot of questions and Will never minded answering any of them. I appreciated how thorough he was then (October 2022) and having come back for another puppy this past week… of course I had 1000+ questions again, and again Will answered all of them as thoroughly as possible. Whether it was relating to the new addition to the family or relating to their 5 year healthcare information. I loved being able to speak to him about my 1st dogs veterinarian and him knowing exactly who I was referring to and being able to provide me with more information on my vetI’d love to say I’ll be coming right back (I would if I had all the space for all of the pets in the world) but it’s too soon to tell. I can always come back with updated photos of them.Astoria pets… thank you for both Nori (now 7 mth Shiba Inu) and Thor (11-12week old Shiba Inu). Thank you Will and everyone else there who made this possible. Everyone there played a part in helping us finalize. We couldn’t be happier ❤️

I recently lost my dog after 16 wonderful years. Heartbreaking and just awful after having been part of my and my sons life for so long. Wish to say thanks for many reasons to Astoria Pets. My son said that was his sister and even applied our last name to his best friend. Our dog will be missed everyday. She was.....incredible. A healthy and bright dog. Gonna suprise someone soon with a new pup. Heading back to Astoria Pets. I trust them and will stay loyal to this establishment. Thanks to the staff of this spot..... you all are awesome and see ya soon.

Today, I adopted (Shih Tzu) a puppy and named it Fluffy becoz it was very fluffy. She is about 2 1/2 months old and already knows where to poop and pee. My daughter loves her.Amazing service. Both the salesperson and the cashier were very helpful and Knowledgeable. Comparing to other pet stores that I’ve been to, I would say this is the best. They have kept the puppies in a clean and spacious place. I would definitely recommend people to check this store.

Heres the problem. Ive applied to adopt in 2 different shelters in the past 3 months. And both turned me down because I havent owned a dog since 2001 and another because I did not have a Vet for a referrence. THEY RATHER KILL A DOG, instead. I live in an apt, I work FT, and I took my time in getting another dog. Because my previous dog was stolen from my own backyard. She did have a chip but she was never found again. So ppl like me have no other choice than to try and purchase a pet from store like these. Blame the animal shelters for having an extreme and ridiculous critirias for adopting.

Review 33 (2020-06-27 - Rating: 4)
Havent bought any pets yet. I wanted to adopt. I have spent 3 months trying to adopt a kitten. I kept filling applications out and I am either denied, or I am never called back.My husband and I have a senior cat. He was my husbands childhood pet. Hes 20 years old. A testament of how well my husband has taken care of him. The cat is healthy and very active for his age. But he is declawed. My husband got him as a kitten when he was 9 years old. His parents declawed the kitten. My husband was a child, it is not his fault that at the time his parents were told to declaw the cat for safety reasons. I have assure shelters I would not declaw a cat. They dont care.They also want to do home inspections. No way, I dont want a stranger in my home. I like my privacy.So after months of disappointment I started looking for places were I can buy a kitten instead. I wanted to adopt, but shelters have ridiculously long applications and so many requirements. One particular shelter even wanted to call my husbands job. That is so invasive. So while this place seems to have bad reviews, theres no other option for people that have been disillusioned with the whole shelter bureaucracy. I think some shelters prefer to euthanized animals rather than let good people adopt them.

I got my Coton de Tulear a little over a year ago and love her and they where very nice to me and helped me out a lot. went back a month ago and got my Cockapoo from them and they where very nice as well and a big help. I would say it is a good place to get a dog. I would get a 3rd dog from them.

5 star service all around, great customer service, clean pods inside n out as the employees treat all the animals in the shop with TLC, as they are willing to work with you on the price and offer 5 years free vet service. Highly recommend as Don n Mike are two of the nicest guys as they went out of their way....

I live in Manhattan and traveled to Astoria to buy my bichon-poodle mix from US Pets 13 years ago when she was eight weeks old. Samantha has never been sick in all the years we have her. She now has arthritis as bi-product of her old age. We will love and cherish her everyday for the rest of her life thanks to US Pets!!!

Stopped by a few days ago just out of curiosity, met the owners and was so pleased by how nice and welcoming they were. I’m not sure why people say this place isn’t ideal, it was very clean, didn’t smell, the puppies were happy and also clean. Thinking of going back this weekend to get a puppy. This place has been in business for 42 years, and they are still here!!! Don’t listen to the haters
