The best dog grooming place in our area- Forest Hills! I'm a very picky dog mom but it's because my 2 year old cavapoo puppy is a drama queen who hates grooming. Moreover, we had a couple of horrible grooming experiences that left him traumatized. When I contacted K9 to book an appointment I was told there was a wait because everything was booked out. I didn't mind waiting since I realized its because they are good. Melinda was in touch with me and let me know the soonest availability. She asked for my dog's medical records and I submitted all of that right away. She was very understanding and patient. From the first time contacting her I realized that she had a big heart and I was not wrong!! When I picked up my dog after the grooming he was happy and playful -whaaat?! Usually I am ready for him being upset and devastated, but not after K9! Also Melinda was such a sweetheart to be updating me on their progress during the grooming. But what is also valuable there is that my dog was not shaved, they listened fo what I asked and gave him a very good haircut. I'm very happy with the place and I will always be their customer! read more

K9 Caterers - Happy after the grooming - Pet Stores Near Me - Glendale, New York

I will admit- I was reluctant to visit K9 Caterers because it was a small business. I was afraid that- 1) it was going to be a small store and I was would be hustled into expensive dog food and 2) there would only be expensive dog food. I was totally wrong on both! My dogs used to eat a brand that is now discontinued and I was on the hunt for a new, well priced bag of dog food that I can count on. My visits to Petco were a waste of time- as everything they had was a small selection and overpriced. I was pleasantly surprised at how wide a selection K9 has. And how big the store is! As stated before- I expected only fancy dog food, but they carry everything. I was easily able to find a bag of good dog food that didn't break the bank. And just like that- they've got my business! In addition to finding exactly what I needed- I was very happy at the dog treat pricing. Spoiling my dogs always felt like a once in a while thing- but K9 has definitely changed that. Service was also very friendly which is a nice button on everything. read more

I love this place. When I first got my puppy, he was extremely sick and not eating. The guys at K9 Caterers were soooo helpful and sweet. They gave me samples of every kind of puppy food. I tried their advise and my puppy was eating and healthy in no time. They have fair prices and a wide variety of puppy food. I also just had him groomed today and had the most amazing experience. The girls are so playful and friendly. They make sure that your pup has the best experience. I am a returning customer for sure. So is My Lil Boss! read more

I called and asked about Instinct Raw bites dog food. I was so happy that they had it since it seems hard to get/find. I was even happier that they get weekly deliveries. They can also order the 6pound bags. Special thanks to Ahmed for all his help. The store is amply stocked with animal products. Bonus tip: They have a parking lot. Update: 4/20/18 I went back to K9 Caterers to get additional dog food. I was surprised to see so many kinds of the Instinct Raw bite dog food. They had chicken, beef, duck, rabbit,lamb, and venison. They also had tenderloins/ rounds and what looked like hamburgers in the different meats. Larry was extremely helpful in ordering 2 bags of Instinct Raw dog food in the 7 pound size that they do not usually have in stock. I really appreciated that he called someone who researched the size and cost and then ordered them for me. Larry is very good natured and also a great conversationalist. He does all of this while tending to the business at hand. He makes it fun to be at the well-stocked store. They have every possible kind of food, treats, and animal supplies. I highly recommend you visit the store for your pet needs. read more

I've been going here for about 5 years and I never had a complaint. The recent dog food that I purchased was expired. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this much sooner. I let them know and they pulled the it off their shelves. Hopefully this brings awareness to them and they check the expiration dates on dog food more often. Also, to everyone please check expiration dates on your dog food as well. read more

I brought my Malshi Ruby to K9 Caterers Grooming today. It was her first groom, Pre Op and I was very nervous. From the start Mel her groomer put my mind at ease and Ruby loved her instantly!

Excellent Store to purchase your Pet needs for Dogs & cats. The prices and selection here are great. They carry the top brands Wellness, Merrick, Nutro, Old Mother Hubord, Science Diet, and higher Quality Iams, Pedigree. I Own a dog so this review is slated more to the dog products. Love the treat selection you can get quality/natural ingredient products which I've never seen at a commercial/mainstream pet store. The toys are inexpensive. I feed my dog Wellness dry food (found the best price here than any other store) with Merrick wet food (amazing flavor mixes like Smothered Comfort, Grandma's Pot Pie, Wingaling, Thanksgiving Dinner) my dog loves the combo. Both brands are top notch. you can also find Kong products here at descent prices. Also I've purchased leashes, collars, and grooming items (carry bio-degradable, eco friendly ingredient merchandise). You can find other items such as beds, clothing, vitamins, pop bags, litter needs. If you have a cat or dog and live in the area or are close, I recommend you shop here! You are allowed to bring your dog with you so bring them along! read more

K9 Caterers - Pet Stores Near Me - Glendale, New York

Although my allegiance shifts from time to time as to where my purchases for the pup come from, K9 Caterers has been a staple in our lives. A gigantic selection of doggie treats, food (both dry and wet) beds, grooming needs in a warehouse sized building. The help has always been terrific, suggesting what is the best option that fits your needs, not the most expensive item on the rack. With Americans now spending much more on their pets than ever in recorded history, its nice to have K9 close by as they do hold a high standard of dealing with their clientele. read more

I have been coming here for well over ten years. They are the best, most caring, and knowledgeable people and they carry everything you could ever need. I will never go anywhere else. Seriously, it's a gem and it's hard to find such sincere and authentic people. You just won't get that in a chain store. I always feel welcome, my dog loves browsing around in there, and the prices are very fair. Plus they always have new and interesting things everytime I go there so they are staying in the know about the market. You don't need to go anywhere else!! read more

K9 Caterers - Lola waiting for something to fall from dinner table!! - Pet Stores Near Me - Glendale, New York

The place is under the bridge, on the opposite side of Home Depot. I've always driven by, but finally decided to stop in. was pleasantly surprised by their selection. They have excellent food options and rawhides. I've never seen the long white chews. It usually only comes in bully stick form. It seems like they only carry high end products, whether it's good treats, toys, beds. Bonus! I couldn't believe they carry Fromm dog food either! The men who work in the store are quiet spoken, but helpful when you ask them questions. They also have a mellow cat who just hangs out by the register. I'd rather shop with a small business anyway. I will definitely continue to shop here and you should too! read more

K9 Caterers - Bunch of things I bought on the first trip to K9 Caterers for my Morty. Minus the Planters nuts - Pet Stores Near Me - Glendale, New York

It was Lir's first grooming experience. We were both very nervous. Melinda and Beverly greeted us like old friends. Melinda gave me my basic Forms to fill out as she scooped Lir up and started bonding with him immediatey. I was able to sit and wait or watch at my leisure which made me feel good to say the least. They giggled and played with him. Melinda was awesome she let him get used to the brushing the blowing. She was extremely patient when doing his nails as he is a total drama queen ! All in all a wonderful experience and by the end everyone was part of the family. I will be bringing him there from now on for sure! read more

K9 Caterers - Firat time being groomed..Melinda and Beverly were awesome with Lir and me ! - Pet Stores Near Me - Glendale, New York

First off, I would like to know why there are next to no groomers out there for cats. I called around and pretty much all of them only deal with dogs. I finally was able to find one who does. My mother took in a new stray kitten. Winter was coming and the weather was getting too cold, so she took in the kitten to get it off the street. We got it to the vet to find that the little girl was healthy, but infested with fleas. After applying flea medication, she had to be quarantined away from the other cat in the house. After quarantine, I was suppose to comb out all the fleas and bathe her. She's six weeks old. Tiny little thing. It was so nerve racking for me. I didn't know if I was hurting her or if she was just scared. I couldn't do it. Had to get a professional. Luckily, I found Beverly. She listened to my situation. Although she was pretty much booked, she was very accommodating to me and squeezed me in. She was so kind and gentle with the kitten. The kitten returned home free of fleas and free to roam and explore her new home. Thanks Beverly. You rock. read more

My wife and I take my golden retriever to Melinda ever since she was a puppy to get groomed Not only does she cater to our "BABY" Lilly but really takes the time to Make our Lilly feel completely comfortable as well as her owners. Melinda and her team are great at what they do and truly care about animals. I highly recommend their services to anyone Thank you Melinda Lilly:) read more

When I first adopted my cat, I bought a bag of Science Diet food and he wouldn't eat much of it. I switched to other brands of food recommended by my vet but he didn't seem to like any of it. I came to K9 Caterers with the intention of buying multiple small bags of food for my cat, hoping to find one brand that he would eat. I asked the staff about the return policy, hoping that he would like the first or second bag I bought and I'd be able to return the others. Instead, he gave us about 10 samples of food that they carry at the store, including some of the store cat's food so I wouldn't have to spend a lot of money just to try out food. I am incredibly grateful for that and by putting out all the samples, I was able to find a food that my cat will eat. I will always go to K9 Caterers to buy food for my cat after that great experience. read more

I love K9 Groomers. Beverly grooms my dog, Indie. She is a very kind and patient person with the dogs and their owners! I'm so happy to have found this place. As a special treat for Indie, we go into K9 Caterers and get a treat. read more

The store is amazing and I cannot stress how important it is to us that it is a local business. The selection of foods and treats are incredible. Our pup eats Stella and Chewys, but we couldn't find it anywhere. Prices are reasonable and staff is so friendly. I also went to their groomer for the first time today and they were so friendly, accommodating, and careful with our pup. Beverly was absolutely amazing and has earned our trust and loyalty! We will never send our pup to another groomer. Thank you, Beverly! read more

I recently adopted a new kitten for my parents and the staff here was wonderful in helping me get all of the essentials for our little new friend. They have a wide selection of food and toys at prices that are very reasonable. I drive past here a lot and I feel bad for not stopping in sooner. Will do all of my pet shopping here going forward. I see that some other reviews mention R2, the 19 year old cat. He's there making sure everything is in order. Godspeed. read more

i can not find one negative thing to say about this place. i would rather support small businesses than a conglomerate like petco any day. this place has a larger and much better selection of dog and cat food for a cheaper price. the same litter, better toys, and much nicer and available service. there is a food donation box, a local bulletin board and kittens that are looking for their forever homes! i can not stress how much the bulletin board means to me because we lost a cat, brought a flyer to petco who basically threw it away bc it doesnt fit their aesthetic, where K9 Caterers was willing to post it and help. this place is who should be supported 1000%. read more

Glad to support a local business especially when they deserve it. K9 Caterers has about every brand we've researched we would recommend for our 2 cats. The store is much bigger than their old location on Cooper Ave. close to the Shops at Atlas Mall. They have a large parking area which makes it easier to lug 40 lbs. bags of cat litter. And most importantly, we find their staff to be both friendly and knowledgeable. We've also found their prices to be on par or cheaper than your everyday e-Tailers such as Amazon and Walmart for the items we purchase. The only thing that's preventing me from giving them 5 stars is that they don't seem to have a very good loyalty program in place. They do have some deals when you purchase certain items in large quantities, but the scope is rather limited. While a better loyalty program won't make us shop there any more frequently than we do now (which is all the time), it may give new customers more incentive to do so. read more

Terrible customer service. I first called the number on the Google listing and a guy picked up and was very gruff. Quickly told me to call a different number that he gave me and hung up before I was even finished saying goodbye. I really liked the grooming pictures they have on Yelp so I decided to move forward and ignore the rudeness of that call. I used the number I was given and a woman picked up. She had a much brighter "hello!" so I felt hopeful. Unfortunately the conversation quickly soured. I asked when the next grooming appointment might be and she said the last week of March. She then asked if my dog had been there before and I said no, she's a puppy and the conversation immediately changed. Maybe they hate puppies at this place. She told me before she could make an appointment that she would need proof of vaccination. I said ok. I then said it looks like next week is actually the last week of March and she clarified saying she meant the week of the 29th. Cool. Then she brings up the vaccinations again saying I can email them. I said ok AGAIN. My puppy has her vaccinations. That's fine. Then I ask if they have that Saturday, April 3rd available. She apologized and said all of their Saturdays are booked up until the 10th. I said hm, ok. Then as I was looking at my schedule for the week of the 29th, she brings up the vaccinations AGAIN and says before she can make an appointment, I would need to send her proof of vaccination which she then goes on to explain that means rabies, bordatella ... I interrupted frustrated at this point and said yes, I understand this. My puppy has her vaccinations. I'm just trying to see when you're available to figure out if I'd even like to move forward. I started to ask about the week days for the week of the 29th but at this point I was beyond frustrated that she has brought up these vaccinations 3 times, is now talking to me like I'm an idiot and clearly doesn't care to make an appointment. I hung up. I wouldn't want to bring my dog here anyway. They seem like a headache. read more

This business has been around for a long time, since I was a child. The location has changed a couple of times. But I love this place, it has a large slection, of dog treats, food, shampoo's, etc... Though, I wish they would carry more coats. The owners are very friendly. read more

They just officially lost my business. In the search for a specific brand of cat food recommended by our vet, I am making calls to try and find the best prices, as well as looking online. As soon as the man answered the phone he cut me off and said 'we don't give prices out'. I stammered, sort of stunned by such a ridiculous policy, and said 'Oh....ok.....um....I'm trying to compare prices to see where I can get the best price...in a store or online....' He cut me off again and "that's why we don't give out prices" Really? Wake up and smell 2010. Really, really bad customer service and policy. Even if somewhere else is more expensive, I won't be going back to this place ever again and will steer my friends away as well. read more

Took my 4 month old Shihpoo to get groomed for the very first time. It was a great experience for both her and me from the moment we walked in the door. The staff were courteous, friendly and extremely knowledgable. Most importantly they were great with my puppy. They took their time with her and allowed her to adjust to her new environment. I love their cage free concept and how they don't use cage dryers. Best of all they encourage you to stay and watch the grooming process which you can see both outside the store and in. Highly recommend this place for your pets grooming needs. We will definitely be back. read more

K9 Caterers - Groomed by Amanda - Pet Stores Near Me - Glendale, New York

Amanda is the BEST GROOMER (can't stress this enough) NYC. I have English Bulldog that absolutely LOVES getting groomed. Amanda and her staffs personality is very friendly, inviting and accommodating which makes not only your pet feel at home but the owners as well. Their open space is great since you see first hand what and how your pet is being treated. I would definitely refer anyone to use Amanda's services at K-9 Caterers!! BEST GROOMER in NYC by far. read more

From the moment I first spoke to with Amanda I felt comfortable. I had called several different groomers and I was very particular because I knew how I wanted my dog to be groomed. Lola is only 6 months old and it would take a very special groomer to work with her. Lola has many fears and she requires a groomer who is patient and understanding. After all she still a puppy. I cant thank Amanda enough, the end results were amazing. Lola was so happy and well groomed. My only regret is that I did not take a before photo. I honestly picked Amanda to groom my dog even before I got my puppy. It was so important to me to find the right groomer because of the experiences I have had with my other dog. Now when I walk Lola, people notice her immediately and compliment her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. read more

Hmmm I am in shock that the lady below said she was treated rudely when she called for cat food. I've been coming here for 3 years now. They have EVERYTHING. All types of dog & cat food (yes even the harder to find dog food brands), different toys, bones etc. See you can go to Petco and get all of this stuff too but why I give them 5 stars is for the customer service! If they see you have something heavy like a huge bag of dog food one of the guys will help you to your car with it. I bring my pitbull in there and they love him up and ALWAYS give him treats while we are there. I have never been treated badly. Love supporting local buisnesses and highly reccomend anyone in the Queens area to go there. read more

This place is pet care heaven. GREAT prices and excellent selections. They sell all the organic Wellness products my cats & dog need. But best of all is the fact that they allow the Save Kitty Foundation to set up in the back (sometimes front depending on weather). It's an stray cat adoption org that has saved and continues to save many furry little lives. The staff is great and super sweet once you talk to them. The customers are just as amazing and it's one of those places where you always end up exchanging crazy cute pet stories. But best of all, they help support the fight against pet stores that support pet mills by allowing the Save Kitty foundation to set up on their property on Sundays. read more

I love K9. It's been around forever and I've been going for years. Everyone is friendly. A wide selection. I will always go back. I just wish they just stayed open late one night during the week, sometimes it's hard for me to get to on the weekends. read more

This review is long overdue. Mel has been grooming my golden retriever for about a year or so now and she always does a beautiful job with Lily . You can see the care and attention that she gives her . We are very pleased with the results every time we take her there .Lily loves her too ! read more

By far the best experience I've ever had at a grooming salon. After sending over proof of vaccinations, they called me to set up an appointment. They were able to fit me in within the next couple days which was wonderful! I brought both my Golden Retriever and my Chihuahua mix in for a bath, trim and a de-shedding treatment. Anyone who has a Golden Retriever knows that the shedding is non stop! However, after his grooming he is not shedding and his coat looks better then it ever has! I am constantly getting complements when we are walking on the street. My chi mix also looks fantastic and felt very comfortable at the salon. What also sets them apart from others is that there are no cages, it is a wide open space, and they set your dog up for an actual appointment where they are receiving one on one attention. Usually they will tell you to pick your dog up within 1-2 hours depending on how much work your dog requires so they are not waiting there all day long! I highly recommend the groomers at K9 Caterers! They are professional, courteous and treat your dogs as if they are family! Check them out and you will never want to bring your dogs anywhere else! read more

They have everything you could ask for. The staff can be intimidating for some people but they are all friendly and love animals. You can buy ten cases of food or one can. They treat you with respect and joke around. If you ask for something, they'll get it for you. These guys supply other pet food stores with their products, so why not just go to the source. They also have a parking lot. read more

I have been going to K9 since they had the little store and the big one. In other words I'm a long time customer of over 20+ years. Now they have moved to a bigger location and it's just as wonderful. I highly recommend them. This is how a pet store should be. The workers are always helpful and kind. And they don't sell animals only food . From time to time they even have rescue kitties up for adoption. Wonderful place read more

I love this place! It's my go to for supplies. I just wish they were open a bit later during the week. They might have competition with Petco that just opened on Woodhaven because they have later hours. Oh well, we shall see! read more

They are definitely my go-to place for pet supplies. Ive been going here for years... literally... I think over 10 years to be exact! Ive gone to them for everything from hamster supplies to dog supplies. The staff is really helpful, knowledgeable and quite honest about the products they sell. The prices are great and I love that they sell in bulk. Its so much better than going to Petco or even Petland discounts. Its not an easy place to get to without a car. So if you are NOT from Queens and dont have a car, it is a little bit out of the way... you'd have to take a train in to queens and transfer to 1 or 2 buses. But its so worth it!! Snatch up a zipcar and go! read more

K9 Caterers - parking lot - Pet Stores Near Me - Glendale, New York

Great selection of all pet care needs & fair prices, the discounted torn bags/dented cans of food are a bonus. Service isn't the friendliest & the lack of pricing on most items is very frustrating, but the selection is so good it's worth it. From Wellness, Weruva, & Natural Balance to Iams, 9 Lives and Fancy Feast. Best part: they don't overcharge an obscene amount for healthy pet food, which is VERY rare. Many pet stores don't carryY healthy pet food or mark it up a ridiculous amount and it's a very sad situation where the only ones losing out are our pets, but this place keeps it real & that's very respectful. Also, if you are looking to adopt a cat or kitten come on the weekend & you can meet with the woman who runs the Save Kitty Foundation & some of her adoptable kitties. They are either set up in front of the store or around the left side of the building where the bird food is. I have not adopted from them before so I cannot give details on how the process is, but the people who run it seem friendly enough & the kitties always look healthy. Warning: the store will not divulge pricing of products over the phone, so you'll just have to visit to find out just how fair the pricing actually is. read more
