Pets On Lex

I am happy to recommend Pets On Lex, we even named our dog "Lexington". He has been very healthy, happy, and we could not be more pleased. The staff were very nice and helpful. It was my first dog buying experience and it was a good one!! I'd go back!!! more

I went in there last week and I too was alarmed at the handling and care of the animals. Some dogs were by themselves in plastic bins so far out of reach of human contact. The owner was rude and did not want to answer my questions. I understood why when I realized he didn't have knowledge of his animals. He did not take an interest in people coming in to handle or purchase dogs as long as he made a sale and allowed his dogs to be passed around without cleansing hands. He was allowing a customer to take a dog home that hasn't even spent a night in the store which was against policy. One of the workers, Kal was the only helpful and considerate person in the place. I didn't feel comfortable purchasing there although I feel awfully terrible for the animals that have to endure living conditions like that. more

Pets on Lex is a fun dog boutique shop. Buy...buyer beware, you will pay for it! As with most boutiques in New York, this one will cost you. It did meet my dog's expectations, which are just that the toys give a nice squeek sound! more

I have posted on other City sites...and just wanted to post here as well...this is THE best shop in the City!!! Pros: TONS of support and caring Cons: NONE!!! more

I have posted on other City sites...and just wanted to post here as well...this is THE best shop in the City!!! I have bought 2 gorgeous and fantastic pupppies from Pets on Lex and couldn't compliment them more! The staff is knowledgeable and caring and just a pleasure to deal with. While I bought my first one Yorkshire Terrier (Trudie) at the 86th Street store (now home to a future high rise ), I purchased the second (Max) at the new location at 77th Street. Both locations have always been kept extremely clean and the animals VERY well cared for. What's more is they are so loved by all the staff, that was one of the reasons I knew I was in the right place. They didn't push me into anything while I was deciding and they allowed me to find what was right for me. The support they offer is by far the best any pet owner could ask for and they have made me part of their family and had given me veterinarian visits to be sure all was well. Both puppies were in excellent health and still are. This is the place to go, as I have heard from other dog owners in the city (not just the neighborhood) and I would reccomend it to anyone that would want a healthy, well cared fr new addition to their family. Pros: TONS of support and caring Cons: NONE!!! more

I used to pass the window at this store everyday on my way home from work and look at the puppies. My apartment building allows dogs, but I didnt think I was ready for a dog just yet. Then I went inside one day and saw the cutest little dachshund and fell in love. I played with her and held her for about 2 hours and asked a million questions to the saleman Kal. Finally, I decided to get her and it has been so much fun having a puppy around. I named her Molly because I just thought the name fit her. After I took her home I was so nervous that I must have called and spoke to Kal at least 15 times in 3 days. He just told me that the first few days with her will be the toughest and just remember that i need to be patient with her. He was right. Now I just laugh at her because i find it funny funny to see how such a little dog can be so feisty. I don't think she realizes how small she is sometimes. I am extremely happy with the puppy and service I received from Pets On Lex and I would recommend this store to anyone looking for a puppy. more

I purchased my shih tzu puppy, Toby, from Pets On Lex last year and I had a wonderful experience with them. I had the puppy checked out by a vet a week after purchasing the puppy and he was in perfect health. The day after I took the puppy home, I received a phone call from the vet tech that works there and he inquired about how my puppy was getting used to his new enviroment and whether I had any questions to ask about caring for him. It was a nice gesture on their part. I still shop there for supplies and stop in to see the cute little pups. Everytime I stop in I get a nice greeting from the staff and when I bring Toby in with me he always gets a treat from the woman behind the counter. Overall, I have to say that I had a great experience with this pet store and would recommend it to anyone looking to buy a puppy and/or supplies. more

This weekend I walked by Pets on Lex (Lexington, between and 87th and 88th). I went in to get some cat food and was totally APPALLED by what I saw. A man ( the owner I believe) was handling the puppies violently and abusively. There were cats in plexiglass boxes way too small for them to move. Most of the felines were nearly full grown - I'm beside myself thinking that they may be in those tiny boxes for up to a year or more. One of the cats was rolling in its litterbox, probably out of boredom and stress. Something should be done about this place. How can such a store operate in NYC? Cons: just awful abusive handling and housing of animals. more
