Had a quick getaway and boarded my dog with Crystal, owner of Wagging Tails. Don't like the word "boarded" because there were only spa-like accommodations for my furbaby Lulu. She got to enjoy a spacious backyard as she has at home and got her pick of comfy, soft beds(including her own) to choose from. I was able to truly relax and have peace of mind while out of the country, knowing that my baby was only a call/ text away. And seeing my furbaby meeting the Easter Bunny and making friends thru Instagram was truly the icing on the cake!!!! I was also lucky to coordinate with her groomer Kerrie to get her back fresh and clean on pickup day. I do have to say that she's so popular that she books up quickly, but if you're planning a vacation it's worth a shot to reach out to Crystal the minute you book your trip.

There is no better pet store I've ever used in 40 years of pet companionship. I've had nothing but great, friendly, and helpful relationships with both James and Crystal. They make it a point to get to know their regulars, and both have amazing relationships with our/your companions. I interact with Crystal most often, and she is the most patient, and helpful, person. She always gives as much time as the customer needs, as does James. Crystal is also a go to person if you ever need extra help with your pets. what more could sane person ask for? read more

Wagging Tails - Busta - Pet Stores Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

This lovely pet shop was absolutely exquisite and friendly, there was so much items for our pets (Cocoa and MacTavish). Krystal was an sweetheart, she's extremely attentive and well spoken, extroverted and overall an gem within the establishment. She helped us get a harness for our beloved kitten, and a few kongs for our puppy. When we asked questions which would be the best products for our animals she was extremely polite and guided us through what she knew was high quality. We did end up going on a small shopping spree because of the cute items there! We honestly fell in love with Wagging Tails, and would recommend them to our friends and family! Sincerely, Jen and Naya read more

This store is amazing! Has quality food, toys for all your fur baby needs!! And the costumer service is awesome like family!

We have been taking our dog here for six years, for daycare, grooming, and all of his food and snacks. James and Crystal are both amazing and an absolute wealth of knowledge. They really take the time to get to know their customers and the different personalities of the animals, and have always been so helpful and kind. The daycare team is fantastic and from day one has helped train and socialize our dog. (We often joke that he likes them better than us!) Wagging Tails is a second home for our dog and we could not imagine life without them in the neighborhood! read more

OMG Crystal and James are simply the best. My dogs know the store as the "candy store". I can't walk pass the shop without going in. They are always ready to spoil your furbabies the minute you walk in. Crystal has actually helped me find my new dog and has signed her up for day care services a couple of times a wk. She is an animal lover and will take her time to help you find whatever you need in the store. She will help you find the best treats and supplements for your pet needs. If you love your pets; take them to this store and watch them be treated like royalty. read more

Took my little Louie to Wagging Tails for a groom and found the overall experience to be so amazing! Firstly, they were extremely sympathetic and able to squeeze me in after hearing about Louie's prior bad grooming experience at a different salon. Upon arrival, the groomer (Beverly) sat on the ground with Louie and asked us lots of questions about him. It was clear to us that she takes great care in the dogs that she grooms. When we went to pick him up he looked perfect, we had an amazing conversation with Crystal, and made sure we booked appointments for the rest of the year. Louie absolutely adored Beverly-- made obvious when he tried to follow her out of the store! So grateful to have found a store that so obviously cares about dogs. Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

Every time I go in with my dog I get personal treatment from Crystal. My dog Maddie loves Crystal and can't wait to see her! Maddie goes to daycare there also and just loves it! She plays with other dogs and comes home so tired it's perfect for me! She also gets groomed there - yes one stop for everything! We love the staff there - from the workers in daycare to the groomers; everyone is so friendly and good to Maddie, which I appreciate so much read more

I'm so grateful that Wagging Tails is in the neighborhood. I love supporting a local small business. They have tons of options for dog food and treats, toys and they will deliver! Spots has been going there for daycare for about 6 months. He loves the staff and he normally is not trusting of people. The staff are really caring and they are so thorough in screening the dogs to keep everyone safe. Vaccinations records are required as well as temperament test. Crystal is like a dog whisperer! She's the best resource for all things related to the health and happiness of dogs. Spots is a 2+ yr old rescue that I adopted in June. He was already house trained when I got him then when I switched his food to a healthier option he started waking me up at 3am every night to go poop! He was pooping a lot more and was having accidents if I didn't take him out. Vet said he is healthy after a fecal screening. I tried feeding him later at night hoping he could hold it until the morning but nothing worked. I called Crystal to see what she thinks and she told me the brand that I'm feeding him is very rich and i should scale back in the portion recommended on the bag and feed him earlier. She also recommended a natural probiotic to help him get things straightened out. I did as she suggested and it worked immediately!!! As a single, dog parent, I truly appreciate the support Crystal and Wagging Tails has given me. read more

Very friendly staff and great service at this pet store. My cat loves his new toy! I'll be back!

So thankful that stores like this still exist! Personal business that treats people like they matter! James and Crystal welcomed us to their store and treated us like they knew us forever. James personally walked me over to where they carried the food I needed and literally saved my day! Aside from a store that has everything, I can't say enough about the groomers!! The entire team is amazing. I personally work with Mel and am so grateful for her! She treats my "puppy" as if she was her own! Wagging Tails is a true gem! read more

James really has an amazing team at Wagging Tails. You can immediately see how much Crystal and Emily really love dogs. I take my dog, Philippe, here for daycare at least once a week, and it's really annoying how much he seems to LOVE Crystal and Emily - I swear he loves them more than me! It's clear they're attentive, and observant and always watches out for his best interests. Emily would bring up behavioral changes or issues, and Crystal always has the best recommendations for what to do for any situation. Absolutely the best. Huge shoutout to Tyler as well - I was under the weather one day and could not bring myself to take Philippe out for his usual walks. I called Wagging Tails, and Tyler drove over to pick him up from me for daycare. Super clutch move here. Literally saved my day. Finally - the food I get here (Orijen for the dog, and Fromm for the cat) is CHEAPER than your online retailers. How's that for supporting small businesses? BUY YOUR PRODUCTS HERE - and ask Crystal or James for their recommendations. read more

We brought our dog for grooming (we followed our favorite ladies to Wagging Tails) and were instantly greeted by the owner, James. It was our first time in the store and meeting the owner. He made us feel extremely welcome. James even greeted our dog by name! Of course our dog had to explore, and he sniffed all the new sniffs in this family-owned store, and even he was feeling comfortable and relaxed. The store has a large variety of products inside, and can definitely see ourselves making purchases here in the future! Our groomer, Mel, came up to the front to meet us and our dog was so excited to see her again! Mel, and all the ladies in the grooming department are wonderful and do amazing work! Our dog always looks handsome after his spaw days with Mel. She takes such good care of him while he is there--knowledgeable about his health conditions, and how we like him groomed. All of the ladies care so much about the dogs they groom and it's like one big family. Wagging Tails is lucky to have them there, and the ladies are lucky to work with such a warm, friendly owner! read more

If you're looking for a dog groomer, don't waste your time. They are not accepting new clients. This is what I was told prior to the pandemic and this is what they told me today. It's not a true pet grooming shop. More of a mix pet supply store with grooming service that only accepts old clientele. read more

Absolutely the best doggie daycare in Queens. I enrolled my pup for a full day to ensure he is able to play and interact with other dogs. After being given a temperament test, which he passed with flying colors, he started with a half day session which I quickly changed to full day after seeing how happy he was in their care. James, Crystal and Emily are amazing with all the dogs! Without hesitation I give Wagging Tails an A+++++ Rating. read more

This will be our go to pet shop and groomer going forward, and we can't wait to try the daycare when out pup is old enough. Highly recommend this place, you won't regret it! read more

Let me start by saying "this shop is amazing!!!" I've gone to almost every NYC pet store and this place stole my heart.James & Crystal are extremely helpful and caring. My poor pup was having a ton of digestive issues and every vet wanted to give her meds to solve the problem. Well let me tell you, after a quick chat with James he solved it all in one meal; one meal! Do yourself a huge favor and visit them. They have the best selection of wholesome products and truly love our 4 legged family members. Big chain stores will never give you the service that this dynamic duo will provide! read more

Great pet store they have everything you need and if they don't they'll order it.The people who work there are professional and courteous.And best of all the price is right and that's hard to find in these days read more

Wagging Tails is such a gem to have in the neighborhood! My corgi pup recently started going to their doggy daycare and I cannot say enough great things. He comes home so tired from all the playing and running around he does over there. I love the posts they do on instagram because I can clearly see how much fun he has. Crystal loves dogs and it shows. I know my little guy is in great hands when he's there =) read more

Love this store! Crystal is amazing and truly cares! She stayed open on a Sunday in a snowstorm so I could come and get booties for my puppy! She answers all my new puppy mom questions and her suggestions for what my pup would like are always on point. She cares very much about the quality of products she carries. And she gave me fantastic tips on dog friendly restaurants, etc for when I went upstate. Definitely going to check out daycare! read more

I love walking over to this local spot with my little pooch, JuJu. The self serve dog wash is clean, relaxing, and affordable alternative to sending him to the groomer for his bath. Not to mention, wonderful bonding time. They also sell the dog food that I like to purchase, and if they do not have it in stock, they will order for us. An added bonus is the excellent customer service and country music played in the background! Please do not purchase from Petco nearby. It's really nice to support small, local businesses. read more

Our puppy Mandu LOVES wagging tails they make his fluffy white fur sparkle and they know just how to cut his breed's fur. Some places cut too close or try to shave his mane off on their own, but the groomers here were amazing and knew its not a great idea to. I was super impressed. Also they don't give your dog the "Eye of Sauron" when they trim their butt. It should just be cleaned up, not staring at me every time I walk him LMAO, thanks guys! read more

Amazing neighborhood store! The people who work there, especially Crystal and James truly love the pets they encounter. My dog has gone to doggy day care there and I never have to worry. They are always willing to take the time to offer suggestions and recommendations. If you are looking for a great pet store with wonderful prices and a personal touch, this is your place! read more

James, Crystal, Emily, Michelle and the whole crew are AMAZING here. My dog Beau literally drags me to the day care because he absolutely loves it there. Everyone is so kind and loving, they treat your dogs as if they are royalty. I love looking at their IG page because they always post the best pics, whether it's a birthday, holiday or special event like Ugly Sweater Day. And he always looks so stinkin cute after he's been groomed there. I've been coming here since they opened and highly recommend everyone to check this place out, even if it's just to come in for a warm welcome and a homemade bow tie or cookie. We love everyone here! read more

Wonderful selection of top brand dog foods, all reasonably priced for a single store operation. With the buy 10 bags of Blue Buffalo, get one free deal rapidly approaching, I bought four bags. Although each bag (35lbs) runs about $55.00, the free bag was a nice freebie. My dog has an athletic body type, I was online researching winter coats, all were in the $80.00 range. Wagging Tails had a really great selection and I snagged a beauty for $25.00. Although I had to have the Velcro straps taken a bit, its a rugged durable item. The extra large rawhide bones for the aggressive chewer are priced extremely well and the selection once again is vast. read more

I was in desperate need of food. I called a few minutes before closing and they stayed open for me. In addition, the selection of toys and treats are great. The bad news is that when I took my dog in there she tried to walk out of the store without paying. Don't worry we got her a few toys and even a new bed. Thank Wagging Tails! read more

Wow! Just called to make a grooming appointment for my dog. Convo went just like this: Me: Hi, do you guys do grooming? Wagging Tails: yea, but by appointment only. Me: Okay, id like to make an appointment please Wagging Tails: we don't have anything until October. Me: Wow, really? Wagging Tails: ... ... ... Silence Me: hello? Wagging Tails: yea, I said nothing til October!!! That's how they treat a new client?? What kind of customer service is that? A complete shame. Shame on you Wagging Tails. Being "booked til October" gives you no right to be completely rude. Never will I walk back into your store. read more

I can't say enough about the staff at Wagging Tails. The people here are professional, courteous, caring and attentive. Not only do they do a fantastic job on our much loved bichon frisé, but they treat myself wife and me with kindness, consideration and respect. They bend over backwards when they can and explain why they cannot if they can't. We will never have our dog groomed anywhere else and we buy as many products from here as we can. Petco and Amazon can never replicate the human touch given by Crystal and the entire crew! read more

A great selection of doggie jackets Crystal helped us find the perfect jacket for Phoebe. The store has a great selection, but it can be difficult to find the right style and fit for your pooch. We found this wonderful jacket with adjustable velcro that accommodates Phoebe's harness underneath and has a zipper where you can access the hook on the back for the leash. Perfect! read more

For reasons I won't discuss here, I needed to find a new groomer for my two seniors. Step one was to do my research (on Yelp) ! This place had the best reviews and is always fully booked and I now know why. I had to make two appointments, one for a medium sized poodle mix and one for a tiny yorkie. They penciled us in for two wks after the date of the phone call. They needed proof of vaccines for both (no issue Bc both were UTD on vaccines). Day of the appointment My boyfriend drops the dogs off and explains our concerns .. poodle snaps when scissors are near his face, yorkie is fidgety when paws are touched, etc. He fills out some forms and is told he would receive a phone call when the dogs are ready. Now keep up with me Bc I am going to do a little back and forth. We pick the dogs up and they looked amazing and smelled even better. My poodle was soooooo happy. He was wagging his fluffy tail, and walking back forth following the woman who works in the store (I didn't get her name). My yorkie was adorable and in good spirits. We bought two cans of dog food that were very reasonably priced (only $.05 more than Petco .. I know my prices well). After seeing how ridiculously happy my poodle was, I will continue bringing my pups here for their grooming. So why 4 stars and not 5 stars? They never called my boyfriend to tell him the dogs were ready. They did call me and they left a VM but I wasn't expecting the call and never checked the VM. I also didn't have the number saved. We ended up calling them an hour after they left me the VM at which point we picked up the pups. Still bringing my dogs back though :D I have saved the number and will check all vm's from now on. read more
