Pet Pourri

They are closed. Note that they also received the 3^rd largest number of violations for pet stores in NJ under the new law aimed at preventing puppy mill dogs in pet stores. Info is at this web story by the Star Ledger:

Closing, finally! Never buy an animal from a pet store, I feel for these poor animals all from puppy mills and disgusting breeder mills — I can’t believe this store has been open since the 80s — Shame on the rockaway mall for allowing this store to stay for so long

I am SO relieved that this horrible place is going out of business! I had to stop visiting this store because seeing the pups in such DISGUSTING living conditions would make me too upset. They had no blankets or towels to lie on, just the metal grate and their own urine and feces. And the puppies come from puppy mills. I would know this because my brother and I asked if they came from mills and we got kicked out of the store. Not suspicious at all, right? The owners lie about where the poor babies come from. I hope these sick pups can go somewhere where a GOOD vet and people can take care of them without a ridiculous price-​tag and greed.

This place is needs to be shut down I purchased a puppy simply for the fact it looked like it was gonna die because it looked so neglected I nursed it back to health but ended up having to many diseases then I could afford to pay for I rushed him to the hospital 2 times and then he needed $ 5000 dollar surgery I gave the dog back and try to get my refund they have a 10 day policy for refunds it’s been one month with no check in the mail

If I could give this place –200 stars I would !!! This place is run down, dirty and disgusting. The puppies are kept in small wire cages that are barely clean. The woman working the cash register looked like washed up white trash. I have heard many horror stories about this place using puppy mills and it’s sad to say I couldn’t believe it anymore than I do. They have three Persian kittens in the front store window. The white male has very visible build up around mouth and eyes & the other two looked equally as mangy. There was no bedding, just the dirty bottom of the enclosure. The kittens had no real bed just plastic bins with a thin torn up blanket inside. I am going to be contacting as many organizations as I possibly can about this establishment! If it can not be shut down then maybe the animals can be taken to real medical professionals for the help &
chance to find a forever home every animal deserves. This place is a disgrace and absolutely disgusting. It breaks my heart that these poor animals are being treated like this. These people are very sad excuses for human beings let alone «pet lovers»

This pet store sells puppy mill puppies! Do not buy anything from this store until they stop selling dogs. NOTHING! Put them out of business if they don’t change their business plan.

My family and I bought a mini dachshund from there five and a half years ago. Never had a single problem with him. I go there every now and then and Jerry always asks how my dog is doing. He never seems surprised to hear we’ve had no problems. Despite being in a mall, this is a great place to buy a dog.

No stars. Do not purchase dogs from pet stores! I was in this establishment this evening and the conditions were deplorable. These poor puppies were sleeping on wire grates above piles and puddles of their own feces. The employees don’t give a rat’s ass. They are in a store filled with pet supplies and these dogs are walking and sleeping on wires. Disgusting! These dogs do not look healthy at all and I would love to see how to get this store inspected and shut down. Such a shame. People don’t realize they are supporting the puppy mill trade when purchasing dogs from places like this. Please rescue a dog from a shelter instead. Save a life. Make a difference. Stop puppy mills. Please.

Wonderful place I bought my rottweiler from here, he is wonderful never had issues. Everytime I am at the mall I swing by to buy things they always remember me and ask for my dog to see how he is doing.

Always sad to see innocent pets kept in these conditions for display to casual onlookers. Pet stores with live animals should be banned from malls.

Please do NOT patronize this place. I am positive they are run by puppy mills. I would like to try and see how to get this place shut down. The people that work there are unprofessional (kind of trashy) and should not be running any establishment, especially a place with helpless animals. Very sad, I try to avoid it at all costs when I go to that mall.

The poor animals locked in the cages at the end of a dark mall hallway look so depressed all the time. This place is a disgusting 80s throwback that shouldn’t exist. Even worse, I have noticed that they have «seasonal» pet displays — bunnies for easter, for example. Really disgusting puppy mill operation to be avoided at all costs.
