PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUYING A DOG FROM SHAKE A PAW: i have had a lot of people reach out to me regarding my first review so I want to provide some follow up. Opie just turned 1 in March and so far he has been diagnosed as completely deaf (the doctor told me his tests shows he was born with no nerves in his ear drums which means one of his parents was completely deaf as well. BREEDERS DONT BREED DEAF DOGS OR DOGS WITH HANDICAPS. OPIE HAS 2)full blindness in 1 eye and partial in the other, he has extreme food sensitivity and vomits at so much as 1 carrot and his anxiety levels are off the charts. A professional determined his separation anxiety and anxious behavior when alone is most likely a result from spending basically no time with his mother as a newborn on. A result of his anxious behavior has changed our lives completely. He has cost us thousands from his destructive behavior when left alone and has such bad crate anxiety he full on forces himself out of crates when locked inside and caused himself harm while doing it. My final conversation with Shake a paw regarding the money (which was all they cared about) was unpleasant to say the least. The owner REFUSED to speak to my boyfriend or me AT ALL. They made the finance company call us back and forth and relay messages as a third party. They told us redundig the money we'd already paid was not an option at all, and the only way they would forgo the remaining balance is if we RETURNED Opie after having him for 4 months already. They then said they weren't obligated to tell us what shelter he would go to so we could re-adopt him. Clearly this was not an option so after much back and forth they decided they would settle on us OWING them $500 or we would have to take them to court, whilst this unpaid debt sits on our credit history impacting the rest of our lives. I told the finance company that in an effort to put this behind us we would pay Shake a paw. The finance company was SO EMBARRASSED at the behavior of Shake a paw that the VP of the finance company called us personally to apologize and tell us they are no longer doing business with Shake a paw. As I said before I do NOT pretend to be an animal rights activist, but this dog is so sweet and so innocent and just wants to be loved it literally breaks my heart every single day to see him struggle. However, since this scumbag owner has done all he can to not get shut down, these puppies are still being bred from mills and shipped here and sold. So if you have the means, or know someone who does, please go and buy these older dogs and give them the care they deserve. The owner of Shake a paw is a disgusting excuse for a person and a coward. It's clear he has no good intention in this business since he won't even put his face or name in front of it. read more

Went looking for an Akita that would be big when grown and they had one and told me he'd grow to 110 pounds at least and be a great guard day.After spending an hour bonding we said we wanted him and was told he's sick and would have to wait a week so we waited and picked him up in a week and paid $3400.Well he's 70 pounds has anxiety attacks and won't go in a car out of fear and he's a coward afraid of his own shadow .So not what I was looking for in an Akita, but he grew on me ,so it is what it is.Save your money and don't go to Shake A Paw.. read more

I'm very pleased. I went here looking for a new puppy. Let me start off by saying that the place was well kept. They were kalso well stocked with germex and paper towels that way you can use it before handling a puppy as well as immediately after. They enforce mask a social distancing but you are very much able to play with the animals with care. I worked with Jake and he was awesome. He was so patient and answered all of my questions and believe me I had a lot. Once I found the puppy or should I say she found me. It was a done deal. She found her forever home. She is a small breed dog so the only negative part I am say is that when I was getting of of the things she would need initially they gave me a 25 LB of dry dog food and 48 can carton of wet food. It wasn't until I brought her to the vet that they said that the amount of food was unnecessary and because she was so small she was going to eat only a tiny amount anyway. I'm planning on taking the food to donate it to the aspca of any animal pound. Other then that I had a very delightful experience and am so very happy that I chose Shake A Paw for my forever pet. read more

My husband and I set out yesterday and drove over an hour to a different puppy store in Bayside, Queens. We had an appointment to see a puppy and, unfortunately, when we arrived our puppy had been sold the evening before. The owner of the store was very apologetic; he wanted to contact us before we came, but he did not have our phone number. He showed us a different puppy that was very cute, but not quite what we were looking for. Let me make it clear that at this time, during a pandemic, there was one other couple there with a different salesperson finishing up their puppy sale transaction and us. One other woman came in to pick up her dog from grooming. You were only allowed to see and pet the puppies you were interested in. Although I left there puppy-free and a little heartbroken, I felt safe while inside and I felt that the puppies were cared for and kept safe. I would go back there in a heartbeat. So, I had looked at other puppies all over the Long Island area and I called Shake-a-Paw from the car and asked if I needed an appointment because it sure sounded that way on their website. The nice man told me to come on down, so I figured they must not be busy. When my husband and I walked in the door of the store about a half hour later the place was packed, and I mean packed. There were at least 25 people in the store, forget about social distancing, there were kids without masks(older kids), everyone had their hands all over the puppies, and lots of barking. We were there about 5 minutes and I said I had to get out of there. From seeing all this I had a pretty bad feeling about how much they care about their puppies and their customers. Obviously, I would not recommend this shop! read more

These reviews are a joke lol. I browse puppy stores almost every week for fun and I can tell you for a fact there's nothing wrong with the dogs or staff. They always ask if you need help, they always try and sell you a dog (which is their job) and they're never rude about it. I've never once seen a dog cough, look sickly, malnourished, or anything bad in the 2 years I've been browsing that store. These reviews are all ridiculous. These are the people who write essays about how a waiter was rude to them when really they were the ones at fault. Don't take anything these delusional people say seriously lol. FFS. read more

Purchased a puppy a few weeks ago. She was super cute and I fell in love and it turned into an impulsive buy. Did a bit more research and found out I was over charged by about $500. Did more research and found out the puppy was from a puppy mill in IN that made the USDA top 100 list worst puppy mills in the US. So far she's doing great. read more

I'm not sure about the quality of their dogs but the prices are absolutely ridiculous. I walked right out found the same dog I was looking for half the price Out of state . Look elsewhere and save yourself some money . read more

2 years later and my dog is still suffering from health problems. The "breeder" that was listed on the paperwork linked back to a puppy mill. I would recommend to anyone- look elsewhere!!! read more

You are delusional if you think it is a good idea to buy an animal here. You should never just walk into a store to BUY an animal. DO you research on where these dogs eve come from (they come from puppy mills where they are severely abused). Due to the numerous abuses they withstand, they come with a lot of genetic horrors. I have a lot of idiot friends that purchased dogs from here that died horrible, sad deaths. read more

We just bought a seemingly healthy miniature schnauzer for a very expressive $1600 and two days after we got him he began hacking and coughing and vomiting. After a trip to the vet he was found to have bacteria in his stool and kennel cough! He spent 4 days in the hospital and a month after, it's still coughing! Who cares if they pay the vet bills,I want a healthy dog I don't have to pump full of antibiotics!! In hindsight I would have returned him but we fell in love with him! I would never recommend this place to anyone. Clearly they are not taking proper precautions to keep the pups healthy. read more

I must say, i was very skeptical about buying a puppy from here based on all of these horrific reviews, but i had a GREAT experience. I have been wanting and researching about bulldogs for the past 4 years. I went to Shake a Paw with no intention of buying a puppy (usually how it works) and ended up falling in love with the most adorable Victorian Bulldog. One of the employees acknowledged us, and as i look up, she is wearing a bulldog necklace. Right away, i thought, ok.... this is the person i need to deal with. Her name was Cathy and she was AWESOME!!! Seriously, if you are looking to buy a bulldog, she is the person to go to. She told us everything and anything my boyfriend and I needed to know and we couldn't thank her enough. She played with him when we weren't able to be around, she called him by the name we picked out (which is Bowser, so fitting...) and she made sure everyone else that worked there were aware of who we were when we came to visit. We visited him every night for a week straight and then we were told we could pick him up on Sunday. Cathy was the one to call us and tell us to come in and pick up Bowser. When we arrived, she spent over an hour with us going over what food he should have and what toys are good for him before taking him home. We have had him for over a week and he is honestly the BEST puppy anyone could ask for. Lazy as can be, snores like crazy and eats like a monster. Yes, he has Kennel cough, but any dog you buy is going to have that. Whether you get from a breeder, your neighbor or the pet store around the corner, they are going to develop some sort of sickness from being around so many other dogs. We had him checked by our local vet and he is healthy besides the cough. For anyone buying a dog from here and is having the same issue with the cough, buy honey and coconut oil, add it to their food twice a day and you will notice a significant difference in your pup. I never write reviews but I did have a great experience and I recommend this place and ask for Cathy! read more

Shake A Paw - Bower the Bully - Pet Stores Near Me - Lynbrook, New York

October 10 2020 I bought a red mini Goldendoodle female and put a down payment of $400 a week before. When I first saw the puppy she vomited clear fluid. This should have been a red flag but the manager said that they would take the puppy to the vet. When I picked her up she seemed ok. After day 3 she was sneezing and vomiting clear fluid and I took her to the vet ASAP. The vet is the one that Shake a Paw recommends. They said she has "a cough" - they never gave a proper diagnosis and prescribed antibiotics. I believe that Emma has either Parvo/distemper or kennel cough. When I took her home she was very lethargic and I panicked. I later found out that this pet shop has a terrible reputation for selling sick puppies. I started crying uncontrollably and my sister called the pet shop. The manager said I could take the puppy to the vet clinic and they would cover the bill. The puppy stayed overnight and was given fluid and stayed for further testing. The vet told me she had a positive result for the fecal exam and the clinic told me about all of the medications I would have to give her. Once I spoke with the manager and told her about my concerns about the articles regarding sick dogs, and mentioned I was considering returning the puppy I get a cal form the clinic saying the puppy is perfectly healthy and ready to go home. I think that the pet shop and clinic work together because other reviewers mentioned that they took their puppies to other vets and received different results. I moved forward with returning the puppy and the pet shop wanted to pay me via check instead of crediting my credit card. I filed a dispute and recently had my claim closed. The manager was understanding but I would advise to stay far away from this pet shop. The dogs are way overpriced. I now have a Cavapoo and she is in great health and cost half the price read more

We took my 3 year old son here today to look at puppies and people were friendly and very helpful. They do push a sale on you but thats there job to do so. They even let him play with 2 dogs for a while. I would go back and take my son again. read more

I purchased a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and after 4 days of having him home was told he had a congenital disease (TMJ) and pneumonia. Please note: The vet informed me the puppy should not have been sold as he was clearly born ill. On the morning of 2/24/15 I relinquished ownership of a pembroke welsh corgi with pneumonia. Later that day I returned my contract to "manager" chris who stated I would receive a full refund by mail because "Barabra," "who is in charge of that department, was not in on Tuesdays." On 3/2/15 I called to follow up with the check, as Chris suggested, and was told it was written and needed to be sent out. On 3/6/15 I called yet again to follow up and spoke with "manager" Kathleen stated she could not help me because she was not part of that department. Instead I would have to speak with Barbara who is in on Tuesdays. As you can see Shake A Paw employees are unreliable and consistently misinform their customers. Not only was I sold a sick puppy, but was jerked around when I questioned them about the $1,800 I so easily paid them. PLEASE TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE read more

Adorable puppies but the worst sales policies ever. I went into Shake A Paw to look at golden retriever puppies alone. They had several available so I asked a sales associate how much they were. He said he would have to get a manager to get me a price and would I like to bring a puppy into a private room. I said I did not want to do that, I only wanted a price for now. When he didnt move I asked him to get the manager. I was told I could not see the manager or get a price unless I took a puppy in a room to play with. Why would any sane person want to fall in love with something they might not be able to afford. I know it takes me 30 seconds to fall in love and they are counting on this. Had I been given a price I might have taken a puppy into a room and I might have come back with my husband and son. Unfortunately I wished the salesman a good day and left. Unfortunately a puppy missed out on a good home. read more

Despite the rush they put on you to buy a puppy the same day you walk in, I actually didn't have too bad of a time there. All the reviews at first had me very worried about buying a dog, because I heard of people buying sick dogs and they're dogs just dying on them, and i couldn't possibly deal with that burden. I was able to purchase a Pekingese and Mini Poodle mix, she's a girl, she was 4 months when I got her and she's got wavy cream colored hair. My baby is now 1 year old. And she's healthy, active, playful, a little shy and the perfect lap dog. Although she's healthy now, she did have a slight cough that I assumed to be kennel cough since all the reviews said their dog had kennel cough, but we took her to a vet and they gave me antibiotics for her and on the third day of taking the antibiotics she has had no cough. In all honesty I think they should have the puppies moving around more and getting fresh air rather than cooped up like chickens in those glass dungeons. No animal of any age needs to be locked away like that without any physical stimulation. The earlier you engage them with other puppies and people the more the puppy will flourish. But don't turn away from shake a paw because of the many negative reviews, please go in there for yourself and fall in love with a puppy and take good care of it, keep up to date with the vet visits and your puppy should be fine. read more

Shake A Paw - Pet Stores Near Me - Lynbrook, New York

THE WORST!!!! DO NOT buy your pet in this store. Purchased a dog a few months ago. I paid over 2k for this dog. They said the dog was hypoallergenic and that it wouldn't grow more then 10LBS. Was all a LIE!! The dog had health issues when taken to the vet. Including parasites. They give you 15 days to be taken to one of there vets supposedly for free. Ended up paying out of pocket and for medications. You go in to "look around" and they come on you to basically pressure you to buy the dog you like. I do not recommend this place! Period!!!! (Zero stars)!!! read more

zero stars please dont ever buy an animal from this place !!!! i worked at a vet for years i can't tell you how many babies we had to treat days after being purchased only to have them die in my arms. in my opinion they are selling puppy mill dogs. please adopt !! for every dog purchased a poor sad dog dies in a shelter ! be a hero adopt don't shop read more

Excellent customer service with the cutest puppies. We bought a miniature schnauzer and she is yummy. The store is clean and the atmosphere is one we felt comfortable in. We never felt rushed and all the staff was willing to help, especially Daniella. Not to mention Tina. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone buying your next best friend at Shake a Paw. Either location is great. Our other puppy was purchase at the Hicksvilles location and I could not be any happier. read more

Went to buy a 8 week old husky named Adam I live in jersey and the puppy had lose stool so they said they had to hold him for atleast a week until vet cleared. Over a month later after a 500 dollar down deposit they finally called to say the dog is good to go home a week in I called to see if I could pick him up and then all of a sudden he came down with a cold. A month is a bit long to get rid of lose stool and a cold in my opinion. Plus when we took him to the play penn he seemed off like he was drowsy and had no energy for a puppy. I wouldn't go here again seemed more like they were in in for the money and they have been under investigation going on for dogs being sold and dieing not to long after having to do with kennel cough and parvo I wouldn't recommend dealing with these people. read more

We bought our first dog here they were great! We went to check which dog was a good fit for our family and they put us in a room with 3 dogs we picked and ended up staying with the last one. I forgot the guy who helped us but he was great with us. Come get your pups here! I don't get why they have low reviews if they are good ! Maybe you weren't royalty enough to get your pups here read more

DONT NOT BUY PUPPIES FROM THEM!!! Bought a 3 month old puppy last month. Cutest thing ever instantly fell in love. Paid over 2k for her, what they call the complete package (free vet visit, AKC certificate, microchip, etc). Adored her cute little face, so even though it was a lot more than I wanted to spend I thought she'd be worth it. 4 days after she came home, 3 days before her appointment with the recommended veterinary for the "free" first exam, she began to excrete blood, obviously I became extremely worried and moved the appointment up. Took her to the vet, they automatically knew based on the photos she had a parasite. Did the stool sample, she ended up having 2 different types of parasites!!! Both giardia, and coccidia. Her levels of coccidia was so high they warned I had to pick the medicine up, and start treatment ASAP! They explained how she must of gotten the parasites, which is due to the puppies being in such confined spaces with each other, pooping, and stepping in it, and unfortunately licking their paws, or even getting in their food and repeat. Which just shows me the lack of cleanliness, and care for the puppies health this place has. Their immune systems are so fragile at this young stage you think they would take better care of these puppies! Obviously not! Then charge so much for these puppies, and not taking better care of them. Of course the medicine was not include so more money out of my pocket. 4 weeks later at a new vet of my choice, testing her sample, and she still has a high level of giardia! I feel like it's never ending, and unfortunately I have to keep coming out of pocket! I also feel so bad, because she such a sweet innocent little puppy that I just wish would get better. Long story short, don't even bother with this place. They obviously aren't taking the best care of these puppies, charging an arm and a leg, god knows how sick these babies are that you will have to deal with once you take them home. Don't bother. read more

I stopped in the Hicksville store today and they quoted me a price of 5K for a Collie. I said are you insane? A Collie is a relatively common breed sold direct from breeders for 1200 to 1500! read more

THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN. The reviews on their website are FALSE. I visited the store yesterday, the workers kicked the puppies around and several of them were bleeding, looked drugged, and looked like they were on the brink of death. These puppies come from PUPPY MILLS where they are bred and contaminated with parasites among other diseases. PLEASE do not get your dog from here and STOP giving them business. Please rescue or adopt your dog DO NOT BUY one. You are giving thousands of dollars to people who don't care about anything else except for MONEY. read more

Shake a Paw Lynbrook does not support Nurses and Frontline responders during this horrible pandemic. Shame on you!

As a follow-up to my prior review..its been about 3-4 weeks or so and 4 visits to the vet and my puppy is FINALLY improving. Having said that, even though the document I have from the store says that all illnesses that needed treatment as a result of the pet store are covered, I have had to pay for my follow up visits. I can't emphasize how much you should stay away from this scam of a store with their phoney claims. They lie lie lie. If you get a sick puppy..EXPECT TO HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO GET BETTER. When I pointed out the language in the DOCUMENT given to me by the pet store, the Vet's office actually agreed with me - and I swear that this is 100% true and unembelished - and said that they HAVE ASKED THE PET STORE TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE SO THAT ITS NOT MISLEADING!!! Their own vet that they work with has askes them to be less deceitful to their customers. I will back anything I have said in this review 100000% percent. I am telling you this store should be investigated by the authorities. They also told me all the final vaccinations that couldn't be completed because she was too young (except Rabis) were covered but ONCE AGAIN...NOT TRUE!! I had to pay for the last rouund of her distemper vaccination. read more

After seeing the reviews I was hesitant to get a puppy here back in March, but I said screw it. Went and got a Shiba Inu. He was low priced cause of his age (only being 6 months) but still wanted him. Luckily he hasn't been sick since I got him, he plays with my sister pit and throws little tantrums when we don't pay attention to him and pet our pit. All in all we're just happy we got our little Chip read more

Shake A Paw - Pet Stores Near Me - Lynbrook, New York

HORRIBLE pet store and customer service. We were lied to. The staff member claimed the 3 month old puppy he was selling us was a PURE-BREED Yorkshire Terrier. That is what we wanted because we wanted a small dog. Our dog quickly grew dramatically. He is most definitely NOT a pure-breed Yorkshire Terrier. Everyone at his vet office/grooming place/etc. tell us he appears to be a Yorkie poo, or another similar mix. We love our dog and will keep him no matter what, but we were lied to. We paid $2600 for JUST the dog (before taxes or anything) because we were told that is the cost for a PURE-BREED Yorkie. We called and complained to the pet store. They claimed that they were investigating, but we still have not heard back from them. We love our dog no matter what, but we were ripped off and lied to. read more

Do not buy your dog from here. They overcharge you and force you to buy nonessential products for your dog. The sales associate insisted that my new puppy would fall severely ill if I did not buy her the specific food he wanted to sell me and would not let me leave with my dog without purchasing it. After speaking with her vet, I found out this was not at all true. read more

Edwin is the best salesman at this establishment! He helped me look at dogs and was very knowledgeable. Any questions he was able to answer them. Overall great experience. read more

We have been very particular about our puppy search, and have been to countless stores around Long Island looking for the right pup and the right store. In an ideal world, we would have liked to adopt/rescue but just could not seem to find a pup and place that was compatible with our individual needs, so we approached the puppy store scene with caution because of what we've read and heard. The workers at Shake A Paw Lynbrook have, by far, been the most personable and accommodating to our personal circumstance--we have a very particular date before which we're unable to bring home a pup, and most stores immediately dismissed us or didn't take us seriously because we couldn't take home a dog the day we walked in. Not the case with Shake A Paw. We've been in several times and they greet us every time with a smile and warm greeting. Kez is the absolute best, though we've had 0 problems with any of the store's workers (and we've probably met them all by now LOL). We're aware of the complaints made against Shake A Paw and have been sure to ask questions. In my experience, the workers have been honest, straightforward, and having been to the store at most times of the day and on most days of the week, I can tell you that it seems they care for their pups consistently and thoroughly. The store is clean, the dogs seem happy and healthy, with toys, food, and water easily accessible in every crate. When it is less busy, you'll often find workers playing with the pups or going around the room with a cart and grooming them. We are ecstatic to be bringing home our own puppy in May and are so grateful to Shake A Paw for tending so considerately to our circumstance. Obviously, we will remain vigilant until our puppy is home and in guaranteed health, but we've seen absolutely nothing to indicate that that won't be the case. read more

I am not a big yelper, but this place has amazing customer services, the workers are nice and helpful. The prices here are very comfortable. I totally recommend buying your stuff from here! read more

We got my sister's X-Mas present here, t-cup male yorkie. After negociating we bought it for $1,800. The sales man clamied that it was pure bred and guaranteed it's health. We brought him home 2 days before Christmas. At that time he was covered in pee and stunk and seemed very docile. When we brought him home he was sleeping most of the time and would not eat. We did what we could to feed him and he ate just little bit. He also coughed alot. On Christmas morning when we cheked on the puppy it was lying literally all legs spread out helplessly in the crate. We thought he was dead because he wouldn't move. We rushed him to a vet and the vet was so shocked to see him in that condition. He told us that the puppy may not survive the night... It was the worst Christmas ever. Then luckily doctor was able to get him better but he had to be hospitalized for days! Later the vet told us that he had hypoglycemia, kennel cough, ear & eye infection, and botched tail!!!! Our puppy had a tail what it seemed like broken and healed into 90 degrees!!! When we called the pet store after we picked him up they refused to give us money back. They refused to reinburse us for the vet bills and other medications. When we confronted them about the botched tail they said they will pay for the cosmetic surgery... OMG who wants to put a puppy through that kind of trama again!!!! We ended up keeping him and even till these days he has health problems... he has joints problems, overbite, allegeries, rashes, occasional hyglycemia... Do not buy puppies from here... you don't want to see your puppy suffer it's entire life with illnesses... These puppies are obviously from puppy mill because if it was from a reputable breeder as it claims my puppy would not have a botched tail... Oh he ended up growing up to 10lb... not the t-cup they claimed... another mistake we made... read more

Been in here a few times contemplating buying a pup. I hesitate because the prices are high, the sales people put pressure on you and not sure of health n well being of these pups. They seem lathargic and depressed. The reviews here on yelp are not all that positive.. I feel there should be more positive then negative reviews here before spending 2G's+!!!! The fact that fox 5 "shame on you" was here doing a report should be a red flag!!!!!!!!! read more

Loves: -They have a huge assortment of puppies! -The puppies all seem clean and taken care of! -They have little booths you can go in to play with a puppy and interact w/ it before you purchase so you know ur getting the right one for u! -The employees were helpful and answered all questions and had the puppies file on hand with info such as d.o.b., breeder info, etc. Me no likey: -Items (food, toys, collars, leashes, etc) in the store are overpriced. A lot. -Puppies are overpriced because they expect you to haggle. (I'm not a fan of wheelin' n dealin'. I just like to find a flat out honest good deal) -The employees are paid commission so there is a bit of pressuring to "buy it now!". -Upon purchase of ur puppy they'll walk u around the store handing you all the stuff you'll NEED for ur new friend: bed, crate, kennel, dry food, wet food, toys, shampoo, collar, leash, harness, food/water bowls, puppy-pads, nail clippers, travel bag, "I love my dog" magnets, more toys, cleansing wipes, treats, training treats, breed specific key chain, puppy books, etc. Take a deep breath, politely give them all that stuff back, take ur puppy and head to Wal-Mart or Target where you can get all of that stuff (or just the stuff you'll ACTUALLY need) for several dollars per item cheaper! read more

I would give SHAKE U DOWN a zero star if I could ..This place should be ashamed of itself ...price gouging at its worst ...no parent info, selling puppy mill dogs at ridiculous prices ...quoted 2800 for a dog then 5000 out the door like it was a car....terrible ..I thought I would try to help a local business and now I realize I will only buy from licensed breeders. Better quality animals and 1/3 to 1/2 the cost. read more

DON'T GET A PUPPY FROM HERE! The employees mistreat the puppies. When i was there i wanted to play with a cocapoo in the playroom and one of the puppies got out and the custodian grabbed him up and squeezed his belly and his glands until he screamed. He yelped for a good while. The puppy was probably only one pound. This place as people have stated before is a puppy mill. All the good reviews are from employees or friends of employees. Im surprised this place is still in business. They are very overpriced also. Hurt me to see the emplemployees so blatantly aggressive and mean to the pups. I have 2 boy dogs and am looking to get a girl puppy for christmas for my grandma. Will not be getting from here though. I hope this place goes out of busbusiness and gets whats coming to them. Do Not Buy From Here read more

I went in today during a "puppy sale". The store was so hot and about 95% of the dogs were sleeping... shallow breathing.... some even had continuous ticks in their deep sleep with eyes have open. Dehydrated. I felt awful for these poor beings. For the amount of people walking around and trying to interact with the animals, there was zero interest from the dogs. Some were sleeping on each other, others were crawled in a ball in the corners of their pens. It made me very sad. It made my kids sad. It had to be about 75+ degrees in there. In and out in less then 7 minutes. read more

Just left his place, the sales people are degrading and outright pushy. She said to me are you buying a dog today if not I have to help someone else. They are horrible the puppies are packed into that tight space and some just look depressed or sick. They offer financing at a 50% interest rate and attempt to sell you on the fact that you don't have to pay anything today.they do not disclose the interest rate upfront, they continue to say $200 a month rather than explaining the actual terms. Once she realized that I would not be purchasing she became even more condescending. read more

So I am writing this story with a lot of embarrassment... My girlfriend and I got our new puppy Mia from Shake a Paw in Lynbrook. Yes I know please don't judge us we were uneducated and fell in love with sweet Mia. However, they convinced us that they don't associate with puppy mills and that she was covered for 30 DAYS after we got her if anything happened. Fine. We bring her to the vet they recommended (Sunrise Animal Hospital) and they said she was fine with the exception of a parasite, which is common in puppies and an "inverted vulva" that either would or would not need medical attention. However, we wanted to be sure so we followed up with my Vet who I love and trust over at South Shore Animal Hospital... Well, she found and explained to me that 2 major congenital disorders found in Mia. One being the inverted vulva and the other being ingrown eyelids, both of which require surgery. Also that if we had not gone when we did, we would not be able to file under the "Sale of Animal" article 35 d- because Mia is technically not fit for sale. I feel so awful that the chances of Mia being from a puppy mill are pretty high and that I unintentionally contributed to their efforts. However Megan and I will fight this case in efforts to do right and help support groups that eliminate things like this happening to another family and little innocent puppies. As sad as I am, I love Mia and will continue to give her the medical attention she needs and provide her with a safe and loving home.. DON'T SHOP HERE!! IF YOU ALREADY HAVE... GET A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER VET. read more
