    This place is definitely a one stop shop for pets. I love going in there for a purchase or just for a look see. The staff are friendly and helpful and know their stuff. Their fish selection is amazing and what they don't have they will gladly order for you. The plant selection is varied with some really healthy looking plants. Their other live animals look Healthy and comfortable. I highly recommend this shop.

    Their customer service is excellent!! … A very welcoming atmosphere, with staff that came up to us with helpful advice and service. Very large selection of both fresh and saltwater fish, as well as plenty of merchandise for sale. … Some of the tanks looked like they needed better maintenance, but I’m assuming they’re just understaffed. East to find parking right in front of the store. The prices to me personally seemed a bit on the higher side for the saltwater fish. A great selection though.

    ***DO NOT TAKE YOYR DOG HERE TO BE GROOMED**** I recently took my Chow Chow to Brooklyn Zoo for a standard winter cut. I explained to the groomer and we agreed that she would take his hair down short in the back of his body and to give him a lion cut. That his mane was to be trimmed. The groomer went on to tell me that my dogs hair was severely matted. I strongly disagreed with her and told her once again to cut the back near his hind-legs shirt however not to cut him mane which is part of one of my dogs breed distinctive characters along with his black tongue. In any regard, I returned to the groomer to pick up my dog and the below are the before and after pictures. ***BEWARE*** By the way, it’s starting to get very cold here in New York. My dog is left hairless and cold.

    This is a very family-oriented pet store. They have everything. It's been open for many years. Pete and Deb are very knowledgeable people. They are economical and they really care about animals. I would recommend this business to anyone with a pet that they love.

    I think Place purposely doesn't tell people that live feeders could potentially give your fish disease for money on medication and the feeders, decently care for animals but ich always rampant. People there r generally helpful though but always there for quick bucks. Also they recommend vacation feeders even if their automatic feeders are in stock that result in either overfed fish, nitrate/detritus problems and potential algae in the tank because of the amount of detritus in the tank. Your better of just not feeding your fish for a week than using them or getting an automatic feeder. Also they feed their predatory fish live feeders and have a recirculating system for multiple systems that mix with the community fish so their fish are bound to be contaminated with stuff you didn't even see in the tank. I would go here to order fish but I would always quarantine

    Wide selection of fish. My aquarium is full of happy healthy fish as opposed to other 'big name' chains who sell fish that die within days. Will continue to support this business.

  • 3/5 Doreen A. 1 year ago on Google
    The shop is much smaller than it used to be they have a decent selection of both saltwater and regular fish. They also have rats, hamsters gerbils etc. However the issue I have is that much of the staff is very nice and helpful however there is one staff member who's name I won't post who had a very bad attitude each time I went there. So just beware who helps you

    I was babysitting for 2 10 week old kittens when I saw a flea. I went over to the zoo and they took them right in for a flea bath. I had them back in an hour, for a very reasonable price.

  • 5/5 M F. 1 year ago on Google
    I called this pet store and spoke to Peter. I explained the situation and asked him if he might now where I could take our pet. My son's pet guinea pig got sick over the 4th of July weekend and it was nearly impossible to find a vet. He was not only knowledgeable, he took the time out to help as much as he could and gave me some places I could try and some recommendations. Needless to say, we weren't able to find a vet and our guinea pig, Blue, passed away.

  • 5/5 F T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great shop. The workers are all friendly, offer help everytime I'm in the store. The groomers are patient, love animals and are great at what they do.

  • 3/5 k.760li 4. 1 year ago on Google
    They have pretty much everything you need all kinds of fish from saltwater to freshwater. But their prices are alot higher than other local petstores. The workers were very helpful with helping me decide on what i needed. Will go again but will shop around first

  • 5/5 Chana G. 1 year ago on Google

TERRIBLE SERVICE RUN DO NOT COME YOU MIGHT AS WELL PAY $90 AND KNOW YOUR DOG IS ACTUALLY CLEAN. IF I COULD GIVE NO STARS I WOULD GIVE NONE

    Best pricing for crickets, 3.50 for 50 crickets. Huge selection of salt water fish. Friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Sohail Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Very friendly people

  • 5/5 Skyler L. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly and knowledgeable staff, happy to answer questions. They have a large selection of salt water and fresh water fish, birds and reptiles. They have all the essentials whether you just have a dog or cat or if you have more exotic animals that require more specialty care. Some of the items are slightly more expensive than they would be at a big brand store, but with that being said; I’d much rather shop with these guys and pay the extra $1.50 for cat food and have them answer all my stupid questions and help me find what I need instead of shopping at pet Co.

  • 4/5 TED G. 3 years ago on Google
    Haven't been in a what seems to be a family owned pet store since the 80's. I had no clue to what I needed but Mike unknowingly helped me (I was clueless to what I needed & didn't know the right questions.) I left happy and inclined to go back for other items. Never knew how hard it was to buy fish. Lol

  • 2/5 Jeff D. 3 years ago on Google

    Don't ever buy an animal from this place, they had a store cat they never took care of the poor animals was given away to someone and they took it to the vet she has a thyroid problem that was NEVER address for years and now she has cancer so think twice before you go into this store. This is not a made up story ask any worker in that place who they didn't care for this poor cat. Karma comes around and i hope you suffer the way the cat is now.
