Our pup in hospital 3 days after we bought her from American Kennels. She had Giardia, Pneumonia, and Distemper and died after several days.
Alexander A.

UPDATE: our puppy, which we purchased from American Kennels, was hospitalized 2 days after we got her, and died a few days later from Canine Distemper Virus. She also had Giardia and Pneumonia. We are filing documents with the Attorney Generals office here in New York. We are also submitting documents to the American Veterinary Medical Association to review the licenses of the Vets the store use, because Distemper "CDV" is easily preventable had she been given the vaccines. In total we spent $8K in medical bills trying to save our puppy, not to mention the trauma of having a puppy die (we couldn't even hold her as she was euthanized because she had to be in an ICU to contain the distemper.)

My family is over the moon happy with our new beautiful morkie girl puppy. We saw her sleeping in the window at 3:30 on Sunday afternoon and the rest is history. My parents have been searching for the perfect morkie pup for a long time and we finally found her! She had her vet check up yesterday and is totally healthy and doing very well. She is playful and sweet as sugar. We are in love. Thank you Don and Jeff

Archie

Two weeks ago we got our 10-week-old Yorkshire Terrier from American Kennels. We named him Archie. When we got home to Connecticut we took Archie to our vet and he passed his physical exam with flying colors. They told us "Archie is perfect." Of course, we knew that already. He is a happy, confident, energetic and affectionate little guy. He loves everyone he meets. This is the third Yorkie we got from American Kennels. 16 years ago we got two wonderful Yorkies which sadly passed away. We have recommended American Kennels to friends, and they were delighted with the pet store as well. The AK people love their babies until they're adopted into a loving home.

I bought my Yorkie from this store. She is not only adorable but also has a wonderful temperament. In fact, when I recently brought her to the Veterinarian, he commented 3 times how great a dog she was. Since she is over 6 months now, I brought her in for a haircut. The groomer was so accommodating and attentive and did a great job cutting her hair. I highly recommend this store as I have a wonderful pet thanks to them.

My cat always gets a lion cat at this place! Ask for Robert he is the best !

I bring my Persian cat to American Kennels twice a year so she can get a lion cut. Robert the cat groomer is always amazing and does a great job. My cat smells amazing and looks beautiful. Pure perfection. I have no complaints, but only compliments! I will continue to bring my cat here. Thanks Robert!

+ What is good there: If you don't have a time to find a breeder and drive to Nebraska to see a puppy Kennels is the best choice. Crains are clean and lighty. No more than 2 pets in one crane. Staff are friendly and helpful. We playd with friend's new puppy upstairs about 3 hrs. - Concerns: Pricy No restroom But the high quality of breeds and clean spaces for pets IN THE CITY - is worthy!

Amazing place to get a puppy in Manhattan. No need to travel outside the city for a dog. Don and the other workers are extremely knowledgeable and helpful regarding training tips and what treats and bones to buy a puppy (American Made Bully sticks, and to look for trustworthy ingredients in treats). My husband was sold on a cream golden retriever when he was walking to Home Depot before the pandemic started. American Kennels made buying and the first months of owning a puppy amazing. No need to look far, American Kennels is a golden standard for a dog shop. Our golden retriever is now over a year old and is so happy and energetic. Thank you American Kennels for letting us have this bundle of joy to love. Looking forward to the day we can bring our bundle of joy back to visit!

Bally, now 7 years old.

Cages were small. Owner rude. I asked if they had hypoallergenic dogs and he kept saying $2000. Weird experience.

They sold me a sick dog, and the owner was incredibly rude and obnoxious when I brought it to his attention -- buy a dog anywhere but here

Tazz knows so incredibly much about pet nutrition and goes above and beyond for her clients…read more My dog PJ had been suffering from chronic acid reflux for years. After doing a food intolerance test I found he was intolerant to hundreds of ingredients and couldn't eat any commercial food. He also wasn't keeping home-cooked meals down. I was at a total loss before consulting with Tazz. She knew exactly what PJ needed and completely turned his health around. She gave infinite amount of advice during our first appointment for both food and lifestyle products and talked well beyond my allotted time. I am also impressed by how responsive she's been to my follow-up questions. PJ is now healthier than he's been in years. I recommend Tazz to anyone whose pet is struggling with nutritional issues or who's just looking to improve their pet's health. Thank you Tazz!

I admit it! Tazz is a friend. She adopted a puppy from me almost 20 yrs ago…read more Not sure who was luckier me or the dog who was very large and lived to be over 16. Even then her knowledge of nutrition was amazing.. and her thirst to learn more and more . It never stops I always asked questions.. what to feed which holistic products would help this or that, which doctors or practitioners. Sometimes too many... and Yes! she is very direct (see Malena's review). Extremely knowledgeable and intuitive too. I have referred her to many who have been very happy. I run a rescue and work with special needs dogs.. She has helped with so many Nutrition is so very very important to pets health and you will get the best advice here. It can be life saving. I really trust her.... always have
