Love Thy Beast

"Easily my favorite pet store that I’ve ever visited. I wanted to buy everything! Love Thy Beast has the most aesthetic collection of toys, puzzles, and accessories for both dogs and cats. I often find that boutique pet shops cater to a certain size or play style of dog; but that was not the case here. There were plenty of durable treat puzzles, tug of war toys, and indestructible squeaky toys for my 60 lb. pittie and likewise for plush, easy-to-destroy toys for smaller breeds. Best of all? Everything was in the most beautiful array of colors. From collars to jackets to treats, Love Thy Beast truly had it all. I had to show some major self control only purchasing one item, but I will most certainly be back with my dog in tow for more fun things soon!"

"Spoke with the owner and designer of our new travel bag and she was so lovely, helpful and informative, giving me tips on flying for the first time with our dog. Such a great company!"

"Really lovely pet store! You can order custom-made sweatshirts with the photo of your pet as the logo for $85 (great idea for a present/gift)"

"I’ve been coming here for 2 years since the east village location. Today I dropped by on my dogs walk and saw a trash can in there so I put her poop bag in there. As I was browsing the store the person working there told me that I need to take the poop bag out because it was going to “sit there all day” (her words). Like she expected me to fish it out, and throw it elsewhere. I get that not everyone wants poop bags in their trash but you’re a pet store and the trash can was full to the brim so wouldn’t it be taken out soon? And if it’s already in there and I made a mistake that’s fine and I won’t do it again but I can’t believe she asked me to fish it out. She tried to make it better by telling me she’ll get a new bag for it but that doesn’t make it better lol. Don’t think I’m going to come back here anymore. EDIT to the reply: It’s fine that poop bags aren’t allowed there but the attitude of the employee telling me to fish the bag out of the trash was inappropriate. Also the trash can that day wasn’t even behind the counter, but next to it, so that’s a lie too. So yes I think you do deserve a one star review. Read the other low ratings here and they all have the same thing in common - terrible customer service."

"I have what one may call an obsession with Love Thy Beast. I live in the San Francisco area and visit New York frequently, with my French Bulldog tagging along. We are fortunate to stay in the East Village during our visits and were thrilled when we discovered the shop was a short walk from our hotel. I had initially learned of the brand via a friend and purchased a bag for subway and taxi transportation purposes, we were immediately hooked! We eventually started adding coats for our chilly NYC visits, along with hoodies, and sweaters. We may literally own one of everything. In addition to some traditional dog toys, the owner has designed some of her own that are sturdy, cute, and made by women in Nepal! We add one to our collection every time we visit. In addition to top of the line bags and dog clothes, the store also carries dog food and treats with quality ingredients for your beloved four legged friend. And also very important... the customer service is always wonderful. The staff is a delight and they remember us every time we stop in... did I mention I live in the other side of the country? As all the products are very high quality, we now order online between visits to the Big Apple. I cannot rave enough about our favorite pet boutique on the planet!"
