Frisky Pet Emporium

Very sad, went in to store today, saw a 6 month old male pug all alone in small 2^nd level cage, all alone. This isn’t a puppy this is a dog that has mostly matured. IT NEEDS ROOM. I asked the attendant the price and its at a cost no one will pay (1300 dlls) making it impossibly to find this not so puppy a home. I would buy it at a reasonable price just to get it out of its misery but can’t afford anything close to that nor not looking for a dog.
This place should be closed and the owners fined and prosecuted for allowing pets to be in those kind of conditions. more people need to come forward and report this horrible life they are giving the poor dogs

#1100
This review was originally for 3.5 stars, but because of the purchase experience, went down to 1 star.
Part One: What turned out to be a regular routine visit in the mall (OK, I am blaming the parking spot– this was the last stop before heading out the exit/​entrance), almost turned out to be an adoption. Before I go any further, I love animals, and I have gotten most of my dogs from the shelter. This was not a puppy mill product, she has papers and the sales lady showed us her lineage certificate (came from a reputable breeder). She is exactly what my husband wanted– breed, sex, age, etc. I really wrestled with the idea, for a number of reasons. But the lady here was super nice, and was trying to give us a good deal, and it was, believe me. I have my reasons why my final decision was «No.» I feel bad enough because this was really hard– my husband really wanted this puppy. I was about 75% headed in the «yes» direction.
Anyway, this store has a variety of dog breeds available. It is very clean– there are no stinky or unpleasant smells (like the ones at the shelters, sorry, but gotta be honest). The dog cages appear to be clean. There are two visiting areas near the «doggie windows», to see the puppy up close and personal. In addition, there are supplies, food, treats & toys. However, these things are higher-​priced as compared to the large chain stores, PetsMart or Petco. See, this store years ago, was a pet store before, but it was kinda bare-​bones, wasn’t like how it is now. It is more like a pet boutique today.
Part Two: We left but had our reservations. We made the mistake of going there again the following week, (saw that the dog was still available) and actually going through with a purchase. However, after reality set in, my husband regretted this decision. There were few options: return the dog to get a hypo-​allergenic dog, and get the difference back, return the dog without anything back, ie. lose money $$$. So, because of the overwhelming counts, we went with option #2. I tried reaching Contact 13 for a possible story, but never heard back. Anyway, I have a much bigger audience with this site anyway– I’m a reputable Unilocal reviewer with 1100 reviews. There is also social media, Facebook. And some other resources to explore.
Well, we are never coming back here again.

My first and last time in this store. Puppies in cages for sale depress me. It’s unfortunate because this store has a lot of awesome items for pet lovers like me. Beds, bowls, picture frames, memorial item for pets that have passed on, key chains, toys, etc. But I can’t spend my money in a store where dogs are sold which probably came from puppy mills. I mean what the heck is a Bichon Japanese Chin! I have no problem with mutts or purebred dogs, just do your research. What I do have a problem with is being told that they dogs are given daily medication to stay healthy and that a Bichon Japanese Chin mix can be a show dog — I don’t know what organization that would take place in. But it doesn’t matter because any dog you buy from there you sign a contract stating you won’t show it. Sounds a little fishy to me. And honestly the dogs do not appear that healthy or active.
Two stars because the sales staff was friendly.

I went to this store today with my daughter and saw they had a great dane puppy. I asked one worker how much the puppy was and she looked at me up and down and said $ 2,000 and walked away. I went up to another worker (who was on her cell phone looking at stuff) and asked to see the puppy. She looked me up and down as well as my 1 year old daughter and then said it was feeding time and none of the dogs could be taken out. I had enough money to purchase this dog, if I wanted to… but didn’t appreciate how they looked at me and didn’t give me the time of day. Not all people with money dress in gucci and prada. Sad… you should service any customer as you don’t know if they might be able to provide the perfect home for these dogs. Especially since there were at least 10 dogs still there that have grown up in these small kennels.

HORRIBLE PLACE TO GO IF YOU’RE AN ANIMAL LOVER!
Doesn’t shock me that some DUMBASS below rated this place 5 stars because its a good place to pick up girls. I’m hoping that he’s 16 & not a grown adult because he’d be a pathetic excuse as an ADULT.
Anyway.
I hate this place but go in there whenever I’m at Meadows Mall because my boyfriend & I love dogs. We go in there just to see the pups to pay them a visit. But never will I spend a single penny in there.
I’ve witnessed unsanitary kennels & malnourished pups. It breaks my heart. I’m going to assume that they come from puppy mills also.
I am really good at recognizing different breeds, as most dog lovers are. Some dogs are listed as full bred Yorkie’s or full bred Malteses, when they’re CLEARLY NOT. They’re scamming the public by selling mixed breeds as full breeds!
They need to shut this store down immediately or sell it to an owner that cares.

Thank you Frisky Pet Emporium,
Thank you for your honesty, your patience, and the time you spent with our family. We went to your store several times and really appreciated your helpful staff. Our thanks to Daffney, Thomas, and Stephanie in answering all our questions and educating us on the puppies.
We are so happy with our new member of the family and all your assistance. Your ‘follow-​up’ and tender assistance for home placement, puppy health care, registration, immunizations, vet visit, etc. shows how much you care for your puppies.
We will definitely keep you posted and send you a picture for your puppy wall.

Nasty, nasty, nasty. The puppies look like they come from puppy mills. This place is a puppy mill. They are dirty and matted. This place is disgusting and no way they actually care about the pups. They would do so much better if they would give the pups a bath occasionally. Go to Puppy Boutique on Craig and Rancho (NW Las Vegas) if you would like a quality pup. This is where I ended up buying my Havanese. Puppy Boutique is clean and professional. You know they care about the pets by looking at their condition.

Negative stars 10 if possible. Horrible conditions!
I was shocked at the condition of the dogs in the this store on Sunday — ¹⁰⁄₂₈ around 1145am. First we noticed a kennel with 2 dogs — one vomiting bile — in each corner and yellow bile– usually means hungry — this happened 4 times within 2 minutes — — We notified the clerk and her answer was «we have to feed them on schedule» between 12p-​1pm and ignored us. Another grate by the front display was filthy with pee and poop and the dogs were eating the poop because it was not cleaned up fast enough — told another clerk and they ignored us and walked away. Another grate had 2 dogs playing with green plastic strip like string — they could swallow this and cause major problems. Many of the dogs were in need of brushing and grooming (cleaning). Only the kennel in the front had a towel to lay on — they all should have something to lay on. I would never buy a dog from there — the possible health issues alone are questionable. The dogs need to be well cared for and monitored closely — not ignored by the workers. Possibly would get better care at a shelter. A high end pet store should know better and CARE more! Feel sorry for ALL of the pets in this store.
The staff was just standing around in their «required» positions looking at the people — ignoring the care of the animals. A SAD place indeed!

Would give negative stars if I could!
I just moved into the city of Las Vegas and went into the Pet Emporium located at the Meadows Mall. The pets inside the store were all miserable and looked malnourished. There was a 6 month female pittbull whose body was very thin and face extremely gaunt. There was a Victorian bull dog that looked ill, dogs suspended in metal cages with paws looking swollen. The cats all had giant bowls of food that had hair all in it that looked old. There were 3 large dogs in one 4×4 cage and all the other cages were overpopulated. There was one medium sized dog called a chinese something that was placed in a cage with a large german shepherd puppy and a siberian husky. This poor dog was huddled in the corner shaking and scared. This place should not be allowed to sell any animal with these conditions. My boyfriend and I walked out of here in tears wishing we could take at least one home with us, but the astronomical prices put a stop to that.

If there were any way that I could give a negative star rating for this
store I would. My boss and I were at the mall one day and decided to stop
in and check out the animals. Once we were inside the store looked great,
they do have lots of accessories and treats but the quality of the dogs
was not what I had expected. We looked at all the puppies and while we
were there was a woman behind cleaning the glass inside the cages. She did
not remove the dogs from the area before spraying harmfull chemicals all
over the glass and im sure their coats. She then proceeded to shut them in
with the fumes. There were two pitbull puppies in one of the kennels, a
male and a female. The male looked great but the female was so skinny that
her skin was just drooping all over her, she barely had the strength to
pick herself up. The customers and I were shocked. There was definitely
something wrong with this poor puppy. I thought well maybe they just got
them in and she was being treated. So I took note to ask on our way out.
There was also a Mastiff breed there. He was so cute and playful but his
tail was deformed in 3 different places. When I went up to the front to
ask about the pitbull puppies and the mastiff the counter person was very
unapproachable and rude. I asked how long they had those pitbull puppies
and he said «a couple of weeks», I then told him that there was something
wrong with the female she was weak and skinny. He told me «No thats just
how she is» I am not an idiot I know a sick dog when I see one. I told him
that he should have her checked out and he said «there is nothing wrong
with her, is there something else I can help you with?» I also asked about
the mastiff’s tail. I said that there was no way a person could show or
breed that dog. He said «We don’t guarantee that you can show or breed our
animals.» Really? I would never risk purchasing a pet from here!

This place is awesome. Wonderful customer service, knowledgeable and personable staff and helpful throughout the entire visit. Animals are healthy and they have a variety of dogs, cats, etc. Shelters are a good idea if you’re looking for a pet as many don’t have homes, but if you’re gonna buy, buy here.

This pet store is located in Meadows Mall. It’s a small and cluttered pet store. They have dogs and cats for sale. The cages were clean and the animals looked well cared for. I like visiting this pet shop because they have beautiful cats and purebred dogs to purchase. No one asked us if we needed help or wanted to see one of the animals. They also had some lizards and turtles for sale as well.
I would come back only because the animals are cute! ^_^*~
