ASTORIA 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"

"What a depressing experience. My heart breaks for these poor innocent animals. I am a dog owner and I would NEVER subject them to such horrid conditions. The whole shop smells of urine and feces. Several of the animals have visible eye infections and appear sickly. A friend of mine got a pet from there and it came with fleas and ringworm that ended up infecting 3 dogs when meeting the new pet. All of the puppies have a visibly depressed demeanor. The puppies are displayed in wire floored cages with shredded paper as bedding. If I could give 0 stars I would. I don’t know how places like this still even exist. I’ll continue to pray for these animals."

"Cutest puppies you will ever see. I walked in for Bird Food and Left with a Rottweiler my Dream Dog. Thanks Mike!"

"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."
